Passage I ll
HUMANITIES: This passage is adapted from Bharati
Mukherjee's essay "A Four-Hundred-Year-Old Woman," which
appears in the anthology The Writer on Her Work (1 9 9 1 by
Janet Sternburg).
I was born into a class that did not Jive in its native
language. I was born into a city that feared its future ,
and trained me for emigration. I attended a school run
by Irish nuns , who regarded our w al led-off school
5 compound in Calcutta as a corner of England . My
"country" - called in Bengali desh- I have never seen .
It is the ancestral home of my father a n d is now
in Bangladesh . Nevertheless , I speak his d ialect of
Bengali , and think of myself as "bel onging" to
1 0 Faridpur, the tiny village that was his birthplace. The
l arger political entity to which I gave my first a lle
giance-India- was not even a sovereign nation when I
was born .
My horoscope, cast by a neighborhood astrologer
15 when I was a week-old infant, predicted that I would be
a writer, that I would cross oceans and make my home
among aliens . Brought up in a culture that places its
faith in horoscopes , it never occurred to me to doubt it.
The astrologer meant to offer me a melancholy future;
20 to be destined to leave India was to be banished from
the sources of true culture . The nuns at school , on the
other hand, insinuated that India had long outlived its
glories , and that if we wanted to be educated , modem
women , we'd better hit the trail westward. All my girl25 hood, I straddled the seesaw of contradictions .
I have found m y way t o the United S tates after
many transit stops . The unglimpsed phantom Faridpur
and the all too real Manhattan have merged as "desh." I
am an Ameri c an . I am an America n writer, in the
30 American mainstream , trying to extend i t . This is a
vitally important statement for me -l am not an Indian
writer, not an expatriate . I am an immigrant; my invest
ment is in the American reality , not the Indian .
It took me ten painful years, from the early seven35 ties to the early eighties , to overthrow the smothering
tyranny of nostalgia. The remaining struggle for me is
to make the American readership, meaning the editorial
a n d pu blishing industries as well , acknowledge the
same fact. The foreign -born , the Third World immi40 grant with non-Western religions and non-European
languages and appearance, can be as American as any
steerage passenger from Ireland , Italy, or the Russian
Pale.
My literary agenda begins by acknowledging that
45 America has transformed m e . It does not end until I
show how I (and the hundreds of thousands like me)
have transformed America.
I' ve had to sensitize editors as well as readers to
the richness of the lives I ' m writing about . The most
50 moving form of praise I receive from readers can be
summed up in three words: i never knew. Meaning , I
see these people (call them Indian s , Filipinos, Koreans,
3
Chinese) around me all the time and I never knew the
had an i nner life . I never knew they schemed a n :
55 cheated , suffered, cared so passionately . When even th
forms of praise are so rudimentary , the writer know
she has an i nexhaustible fictional population to e n u
merate. Perhaps even a mission.
I have been blessed with an enormity of materi:d
60 the rap i d and dramatic transformation of the U n i tec
S t ates since the early 1 970s. Within that perceivec
perimeter, however, I hope to wring surprises.

Passage Ill
Solids , liquids , and gases usually expand when
heated. Three experiments were conducted by scientists to
study the expansion of different substances.
Experiment 1
The apparatus shown i n Diagram I was used to mea
sure the l inear expansion of wires of the same length made
from different metals. In each trial, a wire was connected
to a voltage source, run through a series of pulleys, then
attached to a weight. The temperature of the wire was
varied by changing the amount of voltage applied . The
amount of expansion is directly proportional to the rotation
of the final pulley . The results are shown in Figure 1 .

Passage IV
Certain layers of Earth's atmosphere absorb particular
wavelengths of solar rad i ation while letting others pass
through. Types of solar radiation include X rays, ultravi
olet l ight, visible light, and infrared radiation. The cross
section of Earth' s atmosphere below illustrates the alti
tudes a t which certain wavelengths are absorbed. The
arrows point to the altitudes at which solar radiation of dif
ferent ranges of wavelengths is absorbed. The figure also
indicates the layers of the atmosphere and how atmos
pheric densi ty , pressure, and temperature vary w ith
altitude.

Passage VI
Two students explain why the smoke (a mixture of
gases and carbon particles) from burning wood in a fire
place rises up the chimney from the fireplace . They also
discuss how chimney efficiency ( th e volume of smoke
flowing out the top of the chimney per second for a given
temperature difference between inside and outside the
chimney) is related to chimney height .

the air that surrounds the fireplace?
