Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.

Schools in 9.1 United States have not always had many libraries. As recently as 1958, about half of the public schools in the United States had no libraries at all. The number of public school libraries grew quickly when the federal government passed the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965, 9.2 provided money for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries. 9.3, many educators say that since the law was passed, federal spending has not increased enough to cover the rising cost of new library technologies such as computer databases and Internet access.

Because the federal government gives only limited funds to schools, individual school districts rely 9.4 money from local property taxes to pay for most public school expenses. Therefore, the libraries of the public schools often reflect the 9.5 abilities of the communities where they are located. Districts in wealthy areas often have fully staffed libraries with plenty of resources, large spaces, and teaching support. In contrast, school districts in many poor areas place 9.6 libraries in regular classrooms or small rooms. The libraries in such areas are usually run by volunteers, who organize and maintain books that are often old, irrelevant, or damaged.

Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.

When you think of the cinema, the phrase ‘watching a movie’ probably comes to mind, and, indeed, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. They may use elaborate costumes, beautiful locations, or amazing special effects to tell a story. An actor’s expression or movements can also sometimes say more than words.

But what about people who are blind or have trouble seeing? Movies also contain dialogue, music, and sound effects - things that people don’t need to see in order to enjoy. Movie reviewer Marty Klein, who is blind, created a website called Blindspots to help people choose movies that they can follow without the help of someone explaining what is happening on the screen. A movie received a high rating if it has only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also liked interesting stories without many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogue between the characters was better than long silences or noisy action scenes.

Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, maintains the website Blindsite Reviews. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, “So good, blind people like it” and “I’m glad I couldn’t see it.” Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 28, and his writing skills and sense of humour are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to him on the radio. After “watching” the animated movie Up, Forry commented that he wished he, too, could have a talking dog to tell him to watch out for cars and not to “go into the ladies’ restroom again.”
