 Spaghetti squash is a winter squash to become very familiar with this season. You can roast, boil
or even microwave it, and the stringy flesh can be used as a substitute for pasta noodles! Here are
the instructions on how to cook it in the oven:

1. Cut the squash in half lengthwise with a sharp knife. Be careful, go slow, and cautiously
slice the squash in half.
2. Scoop out and discard the seeds.
3. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place squash halves cut side up on a heavy-bottomed roasting
pan. Brush with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You don't have to be too careful
here: just slather, sprinkle, and it's ready!

the squash seems to be drying out while baking, brush with an additional tablespoon of
olive oil.
5. Remove squash from the oven and allow it to cool just enough so you can handle it, about
3 to 4 minutes. Scrape the flesh from the squash into wonderful, stringy "noodles" with a
sturdy fork and place in a small serving bowl. If some of the strands clump, simply
separate them using your hands.
6. Serve squash with a bit of butter and a teaspoon or so of your favorite fresh or dried herbs.

Questions 39 – 41 are based on the following text.

Dear Aunt Julia,

I have so much to tell you, I don’t know where to begin! Remember last summer
when I told you that I was planning to enter the TeenSay Magazine essay contest? Well,
I entered, and my essay, "Improving Community Safety," won! The prize was a weekend
trip to New York City, with a visit to the TeenSay offices to see how they publish the
magazine each month. Three of us were chosen to go from Texas: two other contest
winners, and myself.
My mom took me to the airport for the flight to New York, and I have to admit I
was nervous! I’ve flown before, but never without my parents. But when we got to the
airport and met the other people in our group, I relaxed. The group leader, Ms. Alvarez,
was really friendly and easy to talk to. She is in charge of marketing and special
promotions at TeenSay Magazine. While we waited for our flight, she described the
activities we’d be participating in that weekend. She also introduced me to the other
contest winners. Irene is from Arlington, and she’s 13 years old like me. She won a prize
for the series of photographs she took when her family drove across the country last
summer. The other winner is a 15-year-old boy named Eddie. Eddie won the TeenSay
community spirit award for cleaning up and improving the neighborhood parks in his
town. Irene and Eddie both seemed like a lot of fun. Before our plane even took off, we
were laughing and telling jokes like we’d known each other forever.
Before I knew it, we were landing in New York. At the airport, we were picked up
in a limousine—just like celebrities! We drove to the TeenSay offices downtown. When
we arrived at the TeenSay offices, Ms. Alvarez took us on a tour. We got to see how a
magazine goes from a rough manuscript to a finished issue. I couldn’t believe how much
work and detail goes into each issue, and how many people it takes to do the work. My
favorite part was seeing the bulletin board where sketches, rough drafts, and outlines get
pinned up in sequence. We also met many of the employees, from illustrators and writers
to photographers and editors, and they answered all of our questions.
By the time the tour was over, Ms. Alvarez could tell that we were getting tired.
She took us to her favorite restaurant, and on the way there we had a chance to do some
window-shopping and check out some of the sights. All around us, people were speaking
different languages. I told Ms. Alvarez that I thought I could spend a whole year in New
York and still not see everything!
When I see you at Mom’s birthday party next week, I will tell you all about the
sightseeing we are going to do tomorrow. I am enclosing a copy of my essay with this
letter. So far, it has been a great trip.
Love,
Yoshiko

39. From whose point of view is the story told?

B . Aunt Julia’s

Questions 45 – 47 are based on the following text.

Smithfield Elementary School

Main Street
Smithfield, CA 08055

Dear Mr. Doe,

I am interested in applying for an elementary-level teaching position in your school district.

As a graduate of Berkeley University, I have student teaching experience on the third-
fourth-, and sixth-grade level, in both suburban and urban school districts. I believe my
teaching experience and passion for community engagement make me an ideal candidate
for a teaching position at your school.

I have experience teaching elementary-level students in a variety of settings. I am currently

teaching third-grade children at an inner-city charter school. As a former education
coordinator at a local museum, I also have experience teaching fourth-grade students in a
small suburban school system. Your school emphasizes its unique position as a school that
caters to both inner-city and suburban students, so I think my varied experiences would
make me an asset to your program.

Your school also strives to engage students in the larger community. I have lots of
experience incorporating community service projects into my classrooms. For example, as a
student teacher, I led a unit for third-graders on plant life, and we volunteered at a local
community garden. I would love to find ways to integrate service learning into my lesson
plans.

It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my ability to be a compassionate,

enthusiastic, intelligent teacher who will make a positive contribution to your school district
and larger community. I would welcome an interview and hope to hear from you at your
earliest convenience.

Sincerely,

Alissa McIntire
