In 2010, talk show host Oprah Winfrey and novelist Jonathan Franzen kissed and made up after

a nine-year feud. In 2001, Franzen was disinvited from appearing on Winfrey's TV show to pitch

his novel The Corrections after he made it clear that he was unhappy about the book's being

chosen for the Oprah Book Club. Describing his work as

"in the high-art literary tradition," Franzen said he didn't want to be associated with the Club,

which he accused of occasionally choosing "schmaltzy, one-dimensional" novels. But Winfrey is

apparently able to forgive and forget: she chose Franzen's next novel, Freedom, for her book

club and said of it, "Now you haven't heard me say this word often, but this book is a

masterpiece." - answer✔Pride

The main authors of The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution are usually thought

of as America's "Founding Fathers." Other, less known personages also deserve the title,

however, and Noah Webster was one

of these. Through his writings, which include the still- influential dictionary that bears his name,

Webster sought to legitimize an "American English" that was independent of British spelling

and pronunciation. For instance, Webster removed the "u" from "colour," creating the distinct

American version of the word. - answer✔To present information about an important American

Television has been the primary source of information and entertainment for most Americans

over the last 50 years. However, with Internet use on the rise year after year, some may

wonder if surfing the net will soon surpass watching television as Americans' primary leisure

activity. Indeed, some recent surveys show that time spent on the Internet

is now greater than time spent in front of the television. However, this statistic may not tell the

whole story, as 59% of Americans say they multitask, using the Internet and watching TV

simultaneously. - answer✔may have become less popular than the Internet

If you are committed to healthy, green living and want to reduce your environmental footprint,

you might consider expanding your daily diet to include bugs. Supporters of the edible insect

initiative rightfully argue that farming insects has a much lower environmental impact than

does raising livestock since bugs are easier to harvest and require a fraction of the water and

land space that cattle need. Indeed, the high-protein, low-fat health benefits of bug-eating have

long been known. For hundreds of years, crickets, silkworms and even tarantulas have been

served roasted, stewed and fried at the dinner tables of many cultures. - answer✔interest and

support

In the first sentence, "expanding" most nearly means - answer✔Broadening

Long thought to be a case of mistaken identity, the discovery of the Bornean rainbow toad by

European explorers in 1924 was recently verified by scientists. The explorers had made a black-

and-white sketch of an unusual toad they had found in the jungles of Southeast Asia,

christening it the Bornean rainbow toad. Skeptical but curious, scientists recently went to look

for the toad—and ended up finding three specimens. - answer✔Some people doubted the

existence of the toad

Plywood, while not the most pleasing wood to look at, has become an incredibly important

building material in house construction. It is flexible, inexpensive, and strong. Its strength is due

to layers of thin wood glued on top of each other with the grain of each layer making a right

angle with the grain of the layer below it. This way of layering the sheets of wood makes

plywood difficult to break.

Studies show that the prevalence of fast-food restaurants corresponds with the rates of obesity

in both children and adults. Obesity is now on the rise in countries outside the U.S., where fast

food restaurants are becoming more common. - answer✔They express roughly the same idea.

It is said that a smile is universally understood. Nothing triggers a smile more universally than

the taste of sugar. Nearly everyone loves sugar. Infant studies indicate that humans are born

with an innate love of sweets. Based on statistics, a lot of people in Great Britain must be

smiling because on average, every man, woman and child in that country consumes 95 pounds

of sugar each year.

This passage implies that the writer thinks that 95 pounds of sugar per person per year is: -

answer✔a surprisingly large amount

Some historians attribute the origins of the front porches so common in American houses to

the covered porticos of classical Rome. Indeed, our word "porch" derives from the Latin

portico. However, these colonnaded spaces were almost always connected to public or

religious structures rather than to private homes. The loggias of Renaissance Venice, recessed

front entryways built into the ground floor of Venetian canal houses, perhaps provide a better

starting point for the evolution of the American-style porch. This architectural feature later
