Water Efficiency Strategies
courtesy of United States Environmental Protection Agency
Drinking water systems can implement water efficiency measures and still deliver an unchanged or improved level of service to consumers while reducing overhead costs. Improving water efficiency reduces operating costs (e.g., pumping and treatment) and reduces the need to develop new supplies and expand our water infrastructure. It also reduces withdrawals from limited freshwater supplies, leaving more water for future use and improving the ambient water quality and aquatic habitat.

More and more utilities are using water efficiency and consumer conservation programs to increase the sustainability of their supplies. Case studies demonstrate substantial opportunities to improve efficiency through supply-side practices, such as accurate meter reading and leak detection and repair programs, as well as through demand-side strategies, such as conservation-based water rates and public education programs.
Supply-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Accounting for Water—Accounting for water is an essential step toward ensuring that a water utility is sustainable. This is best accomplished when water systems meter use by their customers. Metering helps to identify losses due to leakage and also provides the foundation on which to build an equitable rate structure to ensure adequate revenue to operate the system.

Water Loss Control—National studies indicate that, on average, 14 percent of the water treated by water systems is lost to leaks. Some water systems have reported water losses exceeding 60 percent. Accounting for water and minimizing water loss are critical functions for any water utility that wants to be sustainable.

Demand-Side Strategies for Water Suppliers

Water Rates—One of the most effective ways to reduce demand for water is to establish rates that escalate as more water is used.

Consumer Efficiency—Consumers can reduce water use by installing water-efficient products or employing efficiency practices, such as turning the water off while brushing teeth or running washing machines only when they are full. Water systems can promote these actions through consumer rebate and education programs.

EPA's WaterSense Program—WaterSense seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by promoting water efficiency and enhancing the market for water-efficient products, programs, and practices. Visit the website for information on water-efficient products and practices, as well as utilities who offer rebates for WaterSense labeled products. Water systems can also apply to become a WaterSense program partner and receive tools they can use to promote their own water efficiency programs.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that "all men are created equal."
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it, as a final resting place for those who died here, that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate1—we can not hallow2, this ground—The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have hallowed it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here; while it can never forget what they did here.
It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us —that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people by the people for the people, shall not perish3 from the earth.

Passage 1

excerpt from William Jefferson Clinton, Second Inaugural Address, January 20, 1997

This is the heart of our task. With a new vision of government, a new sense of responsibility, a new spirit of community, we will sustain America's journey. The promise we sought in a new land we will find again in a land of new promise.
In this new land, education will be every citizen's most prized possession. Our schools will have the highest standards in the world, igniting the spark of possibility in the eyes of every girl and every boy. And the doors of higher education will be open to all. The knowledge and power of the Information Age will be within reach not just of the few, but of every classroom, every library, every child. Parents and children will have time not only to work, but to read and play together. And the plans they make at their kitchen table will be those of a better home, a better job, the certain chance to go to college.

Passage 2

adapted from Herbert Hoover, Inaugural Address, Monday, March 4, 1929

Although education is primarily a responsibility of the States and local communities, and rightly so, yet the Nation as a whole is vitally concerned in its development everywhere to the highest standards and to complete universality. Self-government can succeed only through an instructed electorate. Our objective is not simply to overcome illiteracy1. The Nation has marched far beyond that. The more complex the problems of the Nation become, the greater is the need for more and more advanced instruction. Moreover, as our numbers increase and as our life expands with science and invention, we must discover more and more leaders for every walk of life. We cannot hope to succeed in directing this increasingly complex civilization unless we can draw all the talent of leadership from the whole people. One civilization after another has been wrecked upon the attempt to secure sufficient leadership from a single group or class. If we would constantly refresh our leadership with the ideals of our people, we must draw constantly from the general mass. The full opportunity for every boy and girl to rise through the selective processes of education can alone secure to us this leadership.

Which of the following topics is only discussed in Passage 2?
A.
the need to overcome illiteracy
B.
the need for good leadership
C.
the importance of family time
D.
the importance of a good job

Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.

Which best states the main idea of the text?

A. I have found no proof that dragons ever existed.
B. I have found some proof that dragons may have existed.
C. I have always wondered if dragons existed, and I hope they did.
D. I have not been able to decide if dragons ever existed or not.

Passage 1
The Mother

At first, she had a forbidding exterior, but her body was softer. With her eight legs, she had carefully built a den to prepare for her offspring. Nestled amongst rocks at the bottom of the sea, the mother octopus had forty clusters in her clutch, each containing about a thousand eggs. Watching the small, grape-like bunches, she tended them in her den with great care, and she never left them, not even to snatch a bit of food for herself.
It was springtime, and for fifty days, she prepared for her children to be born. While she waited, she was rarely at rest because the mother continually watched over and cleaned the eggs. Sometimes, she took them in her fluid arms and held them close to her mouth, and other times, she would slowly walk around the rock the egg sacks were attached to. She lifted each delicate bunch, one at a time, and carefully cleaned it.
She ate very little for nothing was in her reach. Her appetite had eventually vanished; crabs, clams, and oysters were not as important as looking after her eggs.
On the day her baby octopods were born, they were the size of ladybugs. The little eggs burst open, and the little octopods came out. They did not look like their mother. Their arms were a circle of hair-like threads. She was exhausted but proud of the work she had done to take care of her little ones.

Passage 2
Octopus Facts

Octopi, the plural of octopus, live in many different parts of the ocean. In the ocean, they prefer to live in coral reefs. Octopi have eight arms. The arms of an octopus have cups that can suck. In fact, the arms can also detect the flow of water.
Most octopi have soft bodies without an internal skeleton or internal shells. They also lack a protective outer shell. The only hard part in the body of an octopus is a beak which is almost shaped like a parrot's beak. The beak helps the octopus to squeeze through narrow slits between underwater rocks. Being able to squeeze through very narrow slits between underwater rocks is very helpful when an octopus is fleeing from its enemies.
An octopus usually needs be careful of other fish. Some octopi may have two fins and an internal shell. In this case, it is harder for them to squeeze into small spaces.
A female octopus focuses entirely on her unhatched eggs before they hatch. A female octopus may also neglect to eat during the (roughly) one month period that she awaits her eggs to hatch. The entire month is spent taking care of her unhatched eggs.
Octopi have a relatively short life span. Larger species, such as the North Pacific Giant Octopus, may live for up to five years in good conditions.

How is the information in the second passage different from the information in the first passage?
A.
The second passage explains what an octopus looks like, while the first passage does not give such details.
B.
The first passage features outdated information; the second passage has current information on octopi.
C.
The first passage tells a story to teach the reader about octopi; the second passage uses only facts.
D.
The first passage focuses only on octopi mothers; the second passage focuses only on octopi food.
