Read the following passages and choose the correct answer by circling its corresponding letter A, B, C, or D.
Does your school have a library? It probably does. The first libraries belonged to ancient kings. In the Middle Ages, monasteries and convents had libraries. The books in those libraries were written by hand, and they had pictures painted beside the words. In the United States, most cities have public libraries. Inside most libraries are hundreds of books—and sometimes more!—many of which are available for taking home. Of course, you have to bring any book you borrow back to the library when you’re done.
	Libraries help people find information. As the ways people find information change, libraries need to change, too. The Internet is a tool that helps people find information much faster than if they were to look in books, so a lot of libraries have begun using computers and technology to help people keep learning.
	The New York Public Library is the most famous library in New York City. When the main branch was opened in 1911, it had a collection of over one million books. Outside this main building, two giant stone lions guard the entrance. Since the library is over one hundred years old, bringing in new technology is not easy.
	The New York Public Library now has computers in every building. You can use the computers to go on the Internet or to write a paper. The librarians will help if you have a question and there are even free classes to help people learn how to use new computer programs. But this is only the beginning of how the library wants to use technology.
	In the basement of the library, there is a room filled with computer programmers and designers who are bringing new technology to the library. This place is called the NYPL Labs. Ben Vershbow runs the NYPL Labs. He wants to help the library reach more people. Ben runs projects using “crowdsourcing.”
	“Crowdsourcing” means getting a lot of people involved to help with a project. Ben is currently using the Internet to find people to help with the library’s collection of menus. The library has thousands and thousands of old menus. You can see what people ate in the year 1900 and find out how much that food cost. In the past, only people in New York could use the New York Public Library. Now, the library is online and everyone can enjoy it. Thanks to technology, we have a new kind of library.

	Chelo-kebab is the national dish of Iran, which comes to no surprise. Not only is this dish extremely popular throughout Iran, its flavors are absolutely delicious. Chelo kabab is made up of tender meat, saffron rice, and juicy grilled tomatoes. There are many variations of this dish. One variation is called koobideh, which is a kebab of ground meat with onion and spices. Another variation is joojeh, which is a kebab of marinated chicken. In Tehran, there are hundreds of restaurants that serve these variations of chelo-kebab. Is there a specific variation you would like to try?
	Another famous dish in Iran is tahdig. This dish refers to a type of rice preparation. Relative to the traditional preparation of rice, which simply requires boiling the rice in water, preparing tahdig is very time-consuming. Before cooking the rice, the chef needs to let it sit in water for one hour. Soaking the rice guarantees that the individual grains of rice will be separate. This separation is required for a good tahdig. After soaking, the rice is cooked in a pot. If the tahdig rice is prepared correctly, then the rice should be crispy and golden at the bottom of the pot.	
	In addition to being delicious, some types of Iranian food serve as symbols. Ash e Reshteh is a noodle and bean soup that signifies good luck. The noodles in this soup represent the different paths a person can take in life. The reason it holds this meaning is that the noodles were initially transported along a path from China to Iran. This soup is often served before a person leaves the country or goes off on a journey. Ash e Reshteh is also served during the Persian new year.
