Passage 1: Read the following passage from the 2001 book, In Cuba I Was a German Shepherd by Ana Menéndez, and published by Grove Press: 1. Máximo was one of the first to leave L Street, boarding a plane for Miami on the eve of the first of January 1961, exactly two years aer Basta had done the same. For reasons he told himself he could no longer remember, he said good-bye to no one. He was thirty-six years old then, already balding, with a wife and two young daughters whose names he tended to confuse. He le behind the row house of long shiny windows, the piano, the mahogany furniture, and the pension he thought he'd return to in two years' me. Three if things were as serious as they said. 2. In Miami, Máximo tried driving a taxi, but the streets were a web of foreign names and winding curves that could one day lead to glier and another to the hollow end of a pistol. His Spanish and his University of Havana credenals meant nothing here. And he was too old to cut sugarcane with the younger men who began arriving in the spring of 1961. But the men gave Máximo an idea, and aer teary nights of promises, he convinced his wife—she of stately homes and mulple cooks—to make lunch to sell to those sugar men who waited, squang on their heels in the dark, for the bus to Belle Glade every morning. They worked side by side, Máximo and Rosa. And at the end of every day, their hands stained orange from the lard and the cheap meat, their knuckles red and tender where the hot water and the knife blade had worked their business, Máximo and Rosa would sit down to whatever remained of the day's cooking and they would chew slowly, the day unraveling, their hunger ebbing away with the light. 3. They worked together for years like that, and when the Cubans began disappearing from the bus line, Máximo and Rosa moved their lunch packets indoors and opened their lile restaurant right on Eighth Street. There, a generaon of former professors served black beans and rice to the nostalgic. When Raúl showed up in Miami one summer looking for work, Máximo added one more waiter's spot for his old acquaintance from L Street. Each night, aer the customers had gone, Máximo and Rosa and Raúl and Havana's old lawyers and bankers and dreamers would sit around the biggest table and eat and talk and somemes, late in the night aer several glasses of wine, someone would start the stories that began with "In Cuba I remember." They were stories of old lovers, beauful and round-hipped. Of skies that stretched on clear and blue to the Cuban hills. Of green landscapes that clung to the red clay of Güines, roots dug in like fingernails in a good-bye. In Cuba, the stories always began, life was good and pure. But something always happened to them in the end, something withering, malignant. Máximo never understood it. The stories that opened in sun, always narrowed into a dark place. And aer those nights, his head throbbing, Máximo would turn and turn in his sleep and awake unable to remember his dreams.

Passage 2: Read the following passage taken from a story published on this webpage:

7

1. It was December—a bright frozen day in the early morning. Far out in the country there was an old Negro woman with her head ed in a red rag, coming along a path through the pinewoods. Her name was Phoenix Jackson. She was very old and small and she walked slowly in the dark pine shadows, moving a lile from side to side in her steps, with the balanced heaviness and lightness of a pendulum in a grandfather clock. She carried a thin, small cane made from an umbrella, and with this she kept tapping the frozen earth in front of her. This made a grave and persistent noise in the sll air that seemed meditave, like the chirping of a solitary lile bird. 2. She wore a dark striped dress reaching down to her shoe tops, and an equally long apron of bleached sugar sacks, with a full pocket: all neat and dy, but every me she took a step she might have fallen over her shoelaces, which dragged from her unlaced shoes. She looked straight ahead. Her eyes were blue with age. Her skin had a paern all its own of numberless branching wrinkles and as though a whole lile tree stood in the middle of her forehead, but a golden color ran underneath, and the two knobs of her cheeks were illumined by a yellow burning under the dark. Under the red rag her hair came down on her neck in the frailest of ringlets, sll black, and with an odor like copper. 3. Now and then there was a quivering in the thicket. Old Phoenix said, 'Out of my way, all you foxes, owls, beetles, jack rabbits, coons and wild animals! ... Keep out from under these feet, lile bob-whites ... Keep the big wild hogs out of my path. Don't let none of those come running my direcon. I got a long way.' Under her small black-freckled hand her cane, limber as a buggy whip, would switch at the brush as if to rouse up any hiding things. 4. On she went. The woods were deep and sll. The sun made the pine needles almost too bright to look at, up where the wind rocked. The cones dropped as light as feathers. Down in the hollow was the mourning dove—it was not too late for him.

Passage 3: Read the following passages taken from the arcle by Neil Gaiman that appeared on 15 October 2013, in the book secon of the online newspaper, The Guardian, available at hps://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/oct/15/neil-gaiman-future-libraries-reading-daydreaming. The arcle is tled “Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming” and was last accessed on 30 January 2017. 1. Libraries are places that people go to for informaon. Books are only the p of the informaon iceberg: they are there, and libraries can provide you freely and legally with books. More children are borrowing books from libraries than ever before – books of all kinds: paper and digital and audio. But libraries are also, for example, places that people, who may not have computers, who may not have internet connecons, can go online without paying anything: hugely important when the way you find out about jobs, apply for jobs or apply for benefits is increasingly migrang exclusively online. Librarians can help these people navigate that world. 2. I do not believe that all books will or should migrate onto screens: as Douglas Adams once pointed out to me, more than 20 years before the Kindle turned up, a physical book is like a shark. Sharks are old: there were sharks in the ocean before the dinosaurs. And the reason there are sll sharks around is that sharks are beer at being sharks than anything else is. Physical books are tough, hard to destroy, bath-resistant, solar-operated, feel good in your hand: they are good at being books and there will always be a place for them They belong in libraries just as

DVDs and web content. 3. A library is a place that is a repository of informaon and gives every cizen equal access to it. That includes health informaon. And mental health informaon. It’s a community space. It’s a place of safety, a haven from the world. It’s a place with librarians in it. What the libraries of the future will be like is something we should be imagining now. 4. Literacy is more important than ever it was, in this world of text and email, a world of wrien informaon. We need to read and write, we need global cizens who can read comfortably, comprehend what they are reading, understand nuance, and make themselves understood. 5. Libraries really are the gates to the future. So it is unfortunate that, round the world, we observe local authories seizing the opportunity to close libraries as an easy way to save money, without realising that they are stealing from the future to pay for today. They are closing the gates that should be open. Quesons based on Passage 3 – “Neil Gaiman: Why our future depends on libraries, reading and daydreaming”
