Read the passage from President Bush's speech. "Our public interest depends on private character, on civic duty and family bonds and basic fairness, on uncounted, unhonored acts of decency which give direction to our freedom.

Sometimes in life we are called to do great things. But as a saint of our times has said, every day we are called to do small things with great love. The most important tasks of a democracy are done by everyone."

The saint President Bush refers to is Mother Teresa. She lived among and served the poor all over the world. She symbolizes selflessness in giving of herself to take care of others.

How doe the allusion to Mother Teresa affect the meaning of the speech?

1. It urges listeners to live among the poor in order to help them improve their lives.

2. She serves as an example of how Americans should treat each other and their country.

3. She sets an example of how well-run democratic counties should be governed.

4.
It appeals to the emotions of listeners so that they will feel guilty if they ignore the poor.

Which is the best paraphrase of the text? the capability of a bicycle makes some people want to go very fast and others to go very slow. as long as you are careful, feel free to ride like the wind. when feeling brave on a bicycle you should ride fast, but when feeling afraid riding slow is wise. if you are unable to coast, it is pointless to even ride. if you’re going to ride a bicycle, you should throw caution to the wind and take over the road, swerving where you like and taking full advantage of your ride. it’s a real joy to be able to ride a bicycle, where you have the choice of going as fast or as slow as you like, using as much courage as you feel like using.
