*Read the following passage and answer the questions.March 4, 1801. He was the first President to take the oath of office in the nation's permanent capital, Washington, D.C. Although Washington was a new city, it was already familiar to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had helped plan the capital's streets and public buildings. Besides being a city planner and architect, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of several gadgets and tools.
After his inauguration, Jefferson moved into the Presidential Palace. The Palace was more than a home; it contained offices for the President and some of his staff and advisors. It also included dining and reception rooms, where the President could entertain congressmen. However, President Jefferson did not give many formal parties. This was partly Jefferson liked to live in a simple fashion. Once, he showed up for an important meeting wearing old clothes and down-at-the heels slippers!

*Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Esperanto is an artificial language created by Dr. L. L. Zamenhof who introduced it in his textbook, Internacia Lingvo, in 1887. Zamenhof was a linguist and a physician who promoted the idea that one language should be used for international communication. Zamenhof argued, as did a rapidly growing number of adherents, that Esperanto could be learned faster than any of the existing languages. Studies show he was right.

While there has been a steady increase in the number of speakers of Esperanto, it is not widely spoken in any part of the world.

*Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Plague is a disease carried by animals, primarily by rodents, and by people. It was widespread in Europe, where in the 1300s, 25 million people died and raging epidemics spread as late as the latter part of the seventeenth century. Once people became aware of the fact that plague was spread by rats that carried the epidemic on ships from one port to another, rodent extermination put an end to the devastating plagues in the world. In the United States, plague occurred in epidemic strength in San Francisco in 1900. Intensive rat control measures were employed immediately, but squirrels in the area had been infected and had to be destroyed too. Descendants of these rodents continued the infection and had transmitted it to other rodents such as prairie dogs in the western and southwestern parts of the United States. The plague is endemic to those areas that are sparsely populated. There have been scattered cases of plague since 1900, but no serious outbreaks.
