A whole new world
When she had opened this unusual gift, her father had mentioned that it might change the way she saw things. Tanisha didn’t have a clue what he meant. Her vision was fine, wasn’t it?

He had shown her how to focus the lens and what the different buttons were for. He also tried to show Tanisha how to read the “F stop” —whatever that was—but cut the explanation short when he saw Tanishas bored look. He suggested that she just “play around” with it. Tanisha had watched as he loaded the film in the back of the camera, carefully using the small lever to sing it around a small black cylinder. Snapping the cover shut,he handed it to her and told her to have fun.

Frankly, “playing” with an ancient camera seemed more like work than fun. Tanisha was accustomed to getting great photos on her camera in an instant. She loved using some of the software tools that allowed her to alter her photos by putting cute boarders around them or adding funny features to her friends’ faces.

This camera did, well… nothing.

Yet, Tanisha was intrigued by her father’s insistence on the camera value. Why didn’t he sell it, she wondered? When she had asked about this, her father had said that it wasn’t a “money thing.” Apparently, her grandfather had been a photographer, as well as her father—until he no longer had the time for it. With a sign, she swing her legs off the edge of her bed, stood up, and picked up the camera and it’s accompanying bag, both seeming to weigh half as much as she did! It was time to see if she could figure out what her father was talking about.

Hmm… what would be her first subject? She carefully brought the camera up to her face so she could see through the viewfinder, which looked like a little window. The gray sky, treetops,telephone wires, and a garbage came into her sight. These were. It suitable subjects, She brought the camera down father to look at the landscape surrounding her.
Living in New Mexico, one saw miles of scenery bathed in brown and green: pinion trees, juniper trees, and dirt. In her mind, that’s all there was. Not much to look at, let alone capture in a photo.

Tanisha walked slowly into the backyard where a few iris bulbs were beginning to emerge with the onset of spring. Still, there were no actual flowers to take advantage of for a photo. Her gaze slowed and perception narrowed until her eyes rested upon a rock.

Really? A rock? She second-guessed herself as she moved closer, thinking that she must be really desperate to settle on this for her picture. There was nothing remarkable about the color, size, or shape of it. But as she got down on her knees and examined the rock, a number of things caught her attention.

First, she found an imprint of a tiny plant embedded on the side of the rock. It was like the world’s smaller fern extending itself up and over the top. Next, she recognized some lichen—-
small patches of green fungi—covering various spots. She remembered her science teacher talking about the presence of lichen as a sign that the air is clean.

As she placed the rock back where it had previously been, she lay on her stomach and help up the camera. Realizing she wanted to capture the little fern imprint, she instinctively moved that side of the rock toward the light. She lay down again and help up the camera to her eye.
Focus,focus—there! She heard the “click” as her finger pressed the button to capture the photo.

After a half-dozen pictures of various sides of the rock, Tanisha say o the ground and carefully looked around her, inhaling deeply as her gaze softened. What else had she never noticed before? An ant crawled over her leg as a soft breeze blew, and with it the smells of new life—and an infinite number of subjects for future photos.


Part A
What is a theme that is developed in” A Whole New World”?
It is important to remember the past.
Beauty can be found where you least expect it.
Gifts are the universal symbol of kindness.
Life gets better as one gets older.

Part B
Which quotation from passage best supports the answer to Part A?
“But as she got down on her knees and examined the rock, a number of things caught her attention.”
“She occasionally took photos of other things like her cat, Hubble, and hamster, Mr.Lincoln.”
“First, she found an imprint of a tiny plant embedded on the side of the rock.”

Answer:

Explanation:

Part A:

Beauty can be found where you least expect it.

Part B:

"First, she found an imprint of a tiny plant embedded on the side of the rock." This quotation supports the theme that beauty can be found where you least expect it because Tanisha initially thought there was nothing remarkable about the rock, but upon closer examination, she discovered interesting details such as the tiny plant imprint and lichen covering. It shows that there can be beauty and value in the small and seemingly insignificant things, which is a key aspect of the theme.

-----------

The theme that is developed in "A Whole New World" is that beauty can be found where you least expect it. Throughout the passage, Tanisha learns to appreciate the beauty and value of her surroundings through the use of an old camera that her father gave her. At first, she is skeptical about the camera's ability to enhance her photography, but as she explores her environment, she realizes that there is much more beauty in her surroundings than she had previously noticed.

The quotation that best supports this theme is "First, she found an imprint of a tiny plant embedded on the side of the rock." This quotation highlights the idea that even something as seemingly mundane as a rock can contain hidden beauty and value. Tanisha initially overlooks the rock as a potential subject for her photography, but upon closer examination, she discovers interesting details such as the tiny plant imprint and lichen covering. By paying attention to the small and seemingly insignificant things around her, Tanisha is able to find unexpected beauty and meaning in her environment.

Overall, the passage suggests that by opening ourselves up to new perspectives and ways of seeing, we can find beauty and value in unexpected places. This theme is relevant to our lives because it encourages us to appreciate the world around us and to seek out new experiences and perspectives that can help us find joy and meaning in our lives.

Which of the following statements best summarises this extract?
No checks on funds served up for schools to meet lunch
pledge
Schools are being given cash regardless of whether they
need to upgrade facilities to meet a government pledge to
provide free hot lunches to all young primary children.
A senior governor dismissed the commitment as "half-
baked" yesterday as the scale of problems in its
implementation emerged. The Minister for Schools made
the promise of a "healthy meal" to all infant pupils in
schools in Queensland and New South Wales the
centrepiece of his party conference speech.
It has been revealed, however, that no account is being
made of pupils' circumstances, with modern, brand-new
schools in wealthy catchment areas thus receiving
identical amounts per pupil to dilapidated, sometimes
Victorian-era, schools in the most deprived areas.
Exit
This is an unfair policy which neglects poorer pupils'
education. Yesterday, it was described as "half-
baked" by a high-level governor.
Although it appears to offer many benefits, this
promise of free healthy meals to all infants in
Queensland and New South Wales is an expensive
gimmick.
Heedless of their actual need, all schools are being
given the same amount of money per pupil to meet a
government pledge on free school meals.

Down and Dirty: Do Men and Women Perceive Cleanliness Differently?
© 2012 Gregory McNamee—December 5, 2012

Anyone who is fastidious about washing hands, avoiding grime, and keeping a neat immediate environment would probably want to keep a safe distance from my office, which is a chaos of slopped coffee, teetering piles of books and papers, dust, and assorted flotsam and jetsam.

I now have a defense for this studied disorder: namely, my chromosome count. In a study published in the online scientific journal PLoS ONE, researchers from San Diego State University and the University of Arizona examined 450 samples of bacteria taken from offices in New York City, San Francisco, and Tucson. These bacteria—and forgive the ickiness—came mostly from the skin, nose and mouth, and the digestive tract, and they were found mostly on chairs and telephones, with lower concentrations on computer keyboards and mice and on [physical] desktops.

The researchers' findings were various, but one of them was this: In the workspaces of men, the bacteria count was significantly higher than in those of women. The implications are immediately obvious: Men are, well, just not as tidy as women. Remarks an authority cited in the study, "Humans move through a sea of microbial life that is seldom perceived except in the context of potential disease and decay." If that is so, then men, it would appear, are enthusiastic body surfers while women barely dip their toes into the mess.

It is dangerous, always, to generalize on grounds of gender and sex. Yet there does appear to be significant variation between men and women in some categories of perception; reports a recent paper in the suggestively titled journal Biology of Sex Differences, women are superior to men in discriminating among fine distinctions of color, while males are better able to discern details in any given viewscape from a distance. This finding supports the so-called hunter-gatherer hypothesis, which proposes that certain biological adaptations occurred as a result of different divided-labor roles in human prehistory. Since men were better at spotting things from afar, they hunted, and since women were better at distinguishing colors, they chose which mushrooms to eat—they gathered, in other words, and apparently they developed the ability to discern dirt where men could not.

It seems to me, of course, that it is possible that those biological differences preceded the roles, that function followed form. But no matter: I'm busily scanning the horizon for gazelles, and therefore I can be forgiven for the chaos immediately before me.

Which line from the text presents an example of ethos?

A. A chaos of slopped coffee, teetering piles of books and papers, dust, and assorted flotsam

At break, as the only mixed kid out of a thousand, I faced the same predicament I had on the playground at H. A. Jack: Where was I supposed to go? Even with so many different groups to choose from, I wasn’t a natural constituent of any particular one. I obviously wasn’t Indian or Chinese. The colored kids would sh– on me all the time for being too black. So I wasn’t welcome there. As always, I was adept enough with white kids not to get bullied by them, but the white kids were always going shopping, going to the movies, going on trips—things that required money. We didn’t have any money, so I was out of the mix there, too. The group I felt the most affinity for was the poor black kids. I hung out with them and got along with them, but most of them took minibuses to school from way out in the townships, from Soweto, from Tembisa, from Alexandra. They rode to school as friends and went home as friends. They had their own groups. Weekends and school holidays, they were hanging out with one another and I couldn’t visit.

Two things were true about me at that age. One, I was still the fastest kid in school. And two, I had no pride. The second we were dismissed from assembly I would run like a bat out of hell to the tuck shop so I could be the first one there. I was always first in line. ...So people started approaching me during assembly. They’d say, “Hey, I’ve got ten rand. If you buy my food for me, I’ll give you two.” That’s when I learned: time is money. I realized people would pay me to buy their food because I was willing to run for it. I started telling everyone at assembly, “Place your orders. Give me a list of what you want, give me a percentage of what you’re going to spend, and I’ll buy your food for you.”

I was an overnight success. ...I’d make so much that I could buy my lunch using other kids’ money and keep the lunch money my mom gave me for pocket cash. Then I could afford to catch a bus home instead of walking or save up to buy whatever. Every day I’d take orders, assembly would end, and I’d make my mad dash and buy everybody’s hot dogs and Cokes and muffins. If you paid me extra you could even tell me where you’d be and I’d deliver it to you.

I’d found my niche. Since I belonged to no group I learned to move seamlessly between groups. I floated. I was a chameleon, still, a cultural chameleon. I learned how to blend. I could play sports with the jocks. I could talk computers with the nerds. I could jump in the circle and dance with the township kids. I popped around to everyone, working, chatting, telling jokes, making deliveries.

I was like a weed dealer, but of food. The weed guy is always welcome at the party. He’s not a part of the circle, but he’s invited into the circle temporarily because of what he can offer. That’s who I was. Always an outsider. As the outsider, you can retreat into a shell, be anonymous, be invisible. Or you can go the other way. You protect yourself by opening up. You don’t ask to be accepted for everything you are, just the one part of yourself that you’re willing to share. For me it was humor. I learned that even though I didn’t belong to one group, I could be a part of any group that was laughing. I’d drop in, pass out the snacks, tell a few jokes. I’d perform for them. I’d catch a bit of their conversation, learn more about their group, and then leave. I never overstayed my welcome. I wasn’t popular, but I wasn’t an outcast. I was everywhere with everybody, and at the same time I was all by myself.
