Part II: Banked Cloze

Questions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.

When I was a child, my best friend Joseph and I would play a game called "Super Secret Spy."

Sometimes I would play the spy and Joseph would play the (31)villain

, and sometimes

we would reverse the roles. Make-believe games like this were my favourite, and I remember that

many summer days were (32)largely

spent outside, playing Super Secret Spy.

Every time we played, the story had to be different. We played so much that, needless to say,

some of the stories got quite (33)bizarre

. Eventually, Super Secret Spy was like a science

fiction movie; the stories took place on other planets and one of us was an alien. Sometimes, we would

wear old Halloween masks so the (34)resemblance

to an alien was remarkable!

I remember one day in particular. Joseph was the alien and he captured me on a

(35)barren

, empty planet (my backyard). He threw me in "alien prison" (behind a big tree)

and (36)giggled

with mischievous delight. At first, I felt all alone and

(37)

helpless

Spy!

I thought of my escape plan. When Alien Joseph came to check on me in the alien prison, I

(38)whirled

around quickly and grabbed his alien laser gun. In a (39)

blaze

of laser fire, I ran past my captor and escaped the alien prison! I was free! Super Secret Spy had won again!

Just then, Joseph and I both realized that it was late afternoon, the sun was setting, and

was upon us. We were both hungry, so we were incredibly happy when my mother called us inside for dinner. Even Super Secret Spies and aliens need to eat!

When we're young, we can't wait to grow up and get on with life. When we're adults, we long for the carefree days of our youth when we could play all day without worry. This is one of the greatest ironies of

life. Indeed, "the grass is always greener on the other side." It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have. It's our nature.

That's why it's good practice to instill in our children a healthy respect for childhood. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up. We always ask them, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We repeatedly tell them, "You can do/have that when you're older." We continually encourage them, "When you grow up, the world will be yours and you can make your dreams come true." It's no wonder, then, that children seem to be in such a rush to grow up, get older, and demand everything that we tell them is coming to them.

It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life. However, this should not be the sole purpose of play. Children should play because they're children. It's how they stay happy, healthy, and young. Why should we push them to be something they're not?

Which of the following sentences is the main idea of this passage?

A. It is a harsh truth that humans always want what they can't have.

B. Too many adults seem to be in a hurry for children to grow up.

C. Children should be free to play the day away.

D. It's true that play helps develop skills that will be used later in life.

This passage is best described as _____.

A. a first-person memoir

B. a dramatic dialogue

C. a persuasive essay

D. an entertaining story

What does the writer mean by "You cannot put a price on an active and fertile imagination"?

A. The ability to think creatively is worthless.
