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

Schools in 10.1 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, 10.2 provided money for school districts to improve their education programs and facilities, including their libraries. 10.3, 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 10.4 money from local property taxes to pay for most public school expenses. Therefore, the libraries of the public schools often reflect the 10.5 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 10.6 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 and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

We all reach for our headphones when it is time to get to work. But are you listening to the right beat? If you simply shuffle your favorite songs without thinking, you might be missing out on a scientifically proven trick to boost your brainpower.

A fascinating new report published in the Journal of Cognitive Psychology reveals that the secret to daily productivity is not about the genre of music you choose, but the tempo. For physical chores or boring, repetitive jobs like basic data entry, fast-paced tracks are your best friend. Researchers discovered that music playing at 120 to 140 beats per minute (BPM) acts like a natural energy drink. It gently raises your heart rate and keeps boredom away, helping individuals power through routine tasks up to 15% faster than those working in silence.

However, if you are tackling a tough assignment that demands deep focus, those high-energy beats will only distract you. When it comes to complex cognitive tasks, like studying for a major exam or writing a detailed report, the findings suggest turning the tempo down. Songs with a slower rhythm of 50 to 80 BPM actively calm the nervous system, regardless of whether they are pop, jazz, or instrumental pieces. This slower pace reduces stress and helps the brain process difficult information without feeling overwhelmed.

The ultimate takeaway? There is no single magic song that works for every situation. So, the next time you sit down at your desk, take a moment to consider your current goal. By carefully matching your music's BPM to the task at hand, you can turn your daily playlist into a powerful tool for success.
