The following are stories and questions about them. Each story is followed by a question and answer to a given question. Story: CHAPTER IX.—THE MAD ELEPHANT. From Middletown the circus went to Dover, and then to Grasscannon. At each of these places a big business was done, and at every performance Leo did better. The young gymnast became a great favorite with all but two people in the “Greatest Show on Earth.” These two people were Jack Snipper, who remained as overbearing as ever, and Jack Broxton, the fellow discharged for intoxication. Broxton had been following up the circus ever since his discharge, in the vain hope of being reinstated. But the rules in the “Greatest Show on Earth” are very strict, and no intoxication is allowed. After leaving Grasscannon, the circus struck up through New York State, and at the end of the week arrived at Buffalo. It was while at this place that Broxton tried to play a dangerous trick upon Leo. He met the young gymnast on the street one night after the performance. He was under the influence of liquor at the time, and in his pocket he carried what is known by the boys as a giant torpedo. As Leo turned a corner he threw the torpedo at Leo’s feet. Luckily the torpedo failed to explode. Had it gone off the young gymnast would have been sadly crippled. “You rascal!” cried Leo, and he made for Broxton and landed him in the gutter. Some of the other performers then came up. “What’s the row, Leo?” “Look what Broxton threw at me,” he replied, and handed the torpedo around for inspection. Question: Who was kicked out for being drunk? Answer:
Broxton

The following are stories and questions about them. Each story is followed by a question and answer to a given question. Story: CHAPTER IX.—THE MAD ELEPHANT. From Middletown the circus went to Dover, and then to Grasscannon. At each of these places a big business was done, and at every performance Leo did better. The young gymnast became a great favorite with all but two people in the “Greatest Show on Earth.” These two people were Jack Snipper, who remained as overbearing as ever, and Jack Broxton, the fellow discharged for intoxication. Broxton had been following up the circus ever since his discharge, in the vain hope of being reinstated. But the rules in the “Greatest Show on Earth” are very strict, and no intoxication is allowed. After leaving Grasscannon, the circus struck up through New York State, and at the end of the week arrived at Buffalo. It was while at this place that Broxton tried to play a dangerous trick upon Leo. He met the young gymnast on the street one night after the performance. He was under the influence of liquor at the time, and in his pocket he carried what is known by the boys as a giant torpedo. As Leo turned a corner he threw the torpedo at Leo’s feet. Luckily the torpedo failed to explode. Had it gone off the young gymnast would have been sadly crippled. “You rascal!” cried Leo, and he made for Broxton and landed him in the gutter. Some of the other performers then came up. “What’s the row, Leo?” “Look what Broxton threw at me,” he replied, and handed the torpedo around for inspection.

The following are stories and questions about them. Each story is followed by a question and answer to a given question. Story: They can be seen more frequently than ever before on college campuses, wearing thick-rimmed glasses while listening to indie music. One might find them playing unusual musical instruments, shopping at second-hand stores or expressing themselves in other unique ways. They call themselves hipsters. Being "hip" used to mean following the latest fashion. But gradually the word has evolved into a synonym for "cool". Hipsters value independent thinking, progressive politics, an appreciation of creativity and intelligence. Hipsters take pains and pride in not being mainstream. However, their culture has become quite trendy. This irony is central to their culture and offers an interesting paradox. "I do take things in the mainstream with a grain of salt," says Ben Polson, a college student at Brown University in the US. Polson describes himself as a hipster and says he often questions what determines popularity, especially regarding music.When lesser-known bands become popular they often lose their former fan base in exchange for a new one. There is a famous hipster saying that goes: I used to like that band before it got popular. According to Polson, bands' music changes when they go mainstream. They become "less experimental, doing things just to save popularity and fans. The original elements that we were drawn to slowly _ for the sake of popularity." Many young adults have started to view hipsters' outlook as cool and are adopting their counterculture mindset themselves. This has led to specialized brands, stores and music for the hipster position. Ironically, some such stores, including clothing labels Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, have gained mainstream popularity. This has seemingly diluted the anti-mainstream culture. "A lot of people that are self-defined hipsters aren't really hipsters, they're just trying to conform to the non-conformist to seem cooler," says Amanda Leopold, a college student from Oberlin College, US. Although Leopold has many unconventional tastes and seems quite individualist, she refuses to classify herself as a hipster. There is a conflict among hipsters about the very definition of the label. To some, to be a hipster is to be free from cultural constraints. To others, it means wearing a certain style and listening to a specific style of music. The former constantly strives for uniqueness, while the latter strives not to be mainstream. And yet, the movement is gaining mainstream popularity. "It's kind of the trend these days; _ " says Leopold. "There have been hipsters since the seventies. It's only become popular recently." Hipsters reject materialism and laugh at mainstream culture. But are they really beyond material comforts? Do they have any ideas of their own if they despise mainstream so much? Christy Wampole, an associate professor of literature at Princeton University, US, is not so sure. She says the hipster is a contradiction in himself and an easy target of mockery . Writing in The New York Times, Wampole paints a less appreciative picture of a typical hipster. "The hipster is a scholar of social forms, a student of cool. He studies continuously, searching for what has yet to be found by the mainstream. He is a walking citation ; his clothes refer to much more than themselves. He tries to negotiate the age-old problem of individuality, not with concepts, but with material things." Question: What does being hip mean today's context? Answer:
being cool

Many young adults have started to view hipsters' outlook as cool and are adopting their counterculture mindset themselves. This has led to specialized brands, stores and music for the hipster position. Ironically, some such stores, including clothing labels Urban Outfitters and American Apparel, have gained mainstream popularity. This has seemingly diluted the anti-mainstream culture. "A lot of people that are self-defined hipsters aren't really hipsters, they're just trying to conform to the non-conformist to seem cooler," says Amanda Leopold, a college student from Oberlin College, US. Although Leopold has many unconventional tastes and seems quite individualist, she refuses to classify herself as a hipster. There is a conflict among hipsters about the very definition of the label. To some, to be a hipster is to be free from cultural constraints. To others, it means wearing a certain style and listening to a specific style of music. The former constantly strives for uniqueness, while the latter strives not to be mainstream. And yet, the movement is gaining mainstream popularity. "It's kind of the trend these days; _ " says Leopold. "There have been hipsters since the seventies. It's only become popular recently." Hipsters reject materialism and laugh at mainstream culture. But are they really beyond material comforts? Do they have any ideas of their own if they despise mainstream so much? Christy Wampole, an associate professor of literature at Princeton University, US, is not so sure. She says the hipster is a contradiction in himself and an easy target of mockery . Writing in The New York Times, Wampole paints a less appreciative picture of a typical hipster. "The hipster is a scholar of social forms, a student of cool. He studies continuously, searching for what has yet to be found by the mainstream. He is a walking citation ; his clothes refer to much more than themselves. He tries to negotiate the age-old problem of individuality, not with concepts, but with material things." Question: What does being hip mean today's context?

The following are stories and questions about them. Each story is followed by a question and answer to a given question. Story: Santa Monica is a beachfront city in western Los Angeles County, California, United States. The city is named after the Christian saint, Monica. Situated on Santa Monica Bay, it is bordered on three sides by the city of Los Angeles – Pacific Palisades to the north, Brentwood on the northeast, Sawtelle on the east, Mar Vista on the southeast, and Venice on the south. Santa Monica is well known for its affluent single-family neighborhoods but also has many neighborhoods consisting primarily of condominiums and apartments. Over two-thirds of Santa Monica's residents are renters. The Census Bureau population for Santa Monica in 2010 was 89,736. Santa Monica was long inhabited by the Tongva people. Santa Monica was called Kecheek in the Tongva language. The first non-indigenous group to set foot in the area was the party of explorer Gaspar de Portolà, who camped near the present day intersection of Barrington and Ohio Avenues on August 3, 1769. There are two different versions of the naming of the city. One says that it was named in honor of the feast day of Saint Monica (mother of Saint Augustine), but her feast day is actually May 4. Another version says that it was named by Juan Crespí on account of a pair of springs, the Kuruvungna Springs (Serra Springs), that were reminiscent of the tears that Saint Monica shed over her son's early impiety. Question: What city borders Santa Monica to the North Answer:
Pacific Palisades

AT MEUDON Later in the week he received a visit from Le Chapelier just before noon. "I have news for you, Andre. Your godfather is at Meudon. He arrived there two days ago. Had you heard?" "But no. How should I hear? Why is he at Meudon?" He was conscious of a faint excitement, which he could hardly have explained. "I don't know. There have been fresh disturbances in Brittany. It may be due to that." "And so he has come for shelter to his brother?" asked Andre-Louis. "To his brother's house, yes; but not to his brother. Where do you live at all, Andre? Do you never hear any of the news? Etienne de Gavrillac emigrated years ago. He was of the household of M. d'Artois, and he crossed the frontier with him. By now, no doubt, he is in Germany with him, conspiring against France. For that is what the emigres are doing. That Austrian woman at the Tuileries will end by destroying the monarchy." "Yes, yes," said Andre-Louis impatiently. Politics interested him not at all this morning. "But about Gavrillac?" "Why, haven't I told you that Gavrillac is at Meudon, installed in the house his brother has left? Dieu de Dieu! Don't I speak French or don't you understand the language? I believe that Rabouillet, his intendant, is in charge of Gavrillac. I have brought you the news the moment I received it. I thought you would probably wish to go out to Meudon." "Of course. I will go at once--that is, as soon as I can. I can't to-day, nor yet to-morrow. I am too busy here." He waved a hand towards the inner room, whence proceeded the click-click of blades, the quick moving of feet, and the voice of the instructor, Le Duc. Question: What chapter is this? Answer:

AT MEUDON Later in the week he received a visit from Le Chapelier just before noon. "I have news for you, Andre. Your godfather is at Meudon. He arrived there two days ago. Had you heard?" "But no. How should I hear? Why is he at Meudon?" He was conscious of a faint excitement, which he could hardly have explained. "I don't know. There have been fresh disturbances in Brittany. It may be due to that." "And so he has come for shelter to his brother?" asked Andre-Louis. "To his brother's house, yes; but not to his brother. Where do you live at all, Andre? Do you never hear any of the news? Etienne de Gavrillac emigrated years ago. He was of the household of M. d'Artois, and he crossed the frontier with him. By now, no doubt, he is in Germany with him, conspiring against France. For that is what the emigres are doing. That Austrian woman at the Tuileries will end by destroying the monarchy." "Yes, yes," said Andre-Louis impatiently. Politics interested him not at all this morning. "But about Gavrillac?" "Why, haven't I told you that Gavrillac is at Meudon, installed in the house his brother has left? Dieu de Dieu! Don't I speak French or don't you understand the language? I believe that Rabouillet, his intendant, is in charge of Gavrillac. I have brought you the news the moment I received it. I thought you would probably wish to go out to Meudon." "Of course. I will go at once--that is, as soon as I can. I can't to-day, nor yet to-morrow. I am too busy here."
