Psychologist Sandra'Ti'ehub studies the effects of musicon bab.ies. Specifically, she has studied the history and'universality of lullabies (shefoundthat they soundthe

1Questions 13·Z4 are bUed on the o U ~ w i n gpassage.

In this a s s ~ g ea historiar:t discusses some of he issuesshe encounter.ed while researching. the life of James FOTten1766-1842), a member of Philadelphia s early Black

American community. Probably most famous as an advocate ofabolitionism-(the movement to abolish slavery),FOTten also made a/ortune as the ownerofa businessthat a d ~andsupplied sails to the shipping trade. .-

James Forten's relationship with Philadelphia's Whitebusiness community remains e l u s i v ~to 'be twenty-first- _century researcher. W e ~ t o d oQuaker Susanna Emlen

line descri1;Jed Forten, in a letter to an English friend in 1809,5 as a person of good character and o n s i d e ~ b l eproperty.

On his marriage a few years ago it was said a numberof the most respectable merchants in h i l ~ d e l p h i acalledto c o n g r a t u l a ~ ehim and drink punch with him. MerchantAbraham Ritter describes Forten as ''popular as a man of

10 trade and ''well received by the gentlemen of the city'sWhite community. T h ~ r eare also stray references to Whitebusinessmen greeting him in the street: it was nouncomrilon thing to see him shaking hands, or walking armin arm, with merchants of the first respectability. As court

15 records and the inventory-of Forten' s estate after his deathprove, he both borrowed money from White businessmen

, and loaned money to them. How his various business relationships,began and progressed, who took him by the handin the street-these are the dimensions of his·life as

20 a gentleman -on which-the records are silent.The attitude of many members of the Black American .

community was that James Forten was definitely a man tobe trusted, a man whose business abilities and knowledge

of how tog ~ t

things 'done could be relied upon. Sailors5 undertaking voyages to China and India appo inted himto super.vise their families' affairs, should they be lost atsea. Black Alnerican organizations elected him to theirboards. He served as an administrator at -his c h ~ c h . Hehelped coordinate the raising of funds to support Black

3 schools and colleges: He gave White abolitionists adviceon the marketing of t i s l a v e r ypublications. In short, whatForten did not know about the making and investing ofmoney was probably not worth knowing. _

Precisely how wealthy Forten was at anyone point35 in his career is difficult to gauge. An obituary noted that

''for many years Forten was the leading sailmaker inthis city. He paid c mt $10,000 per year in wages (a figure

that seems impossibly high given what saiImakers suchas his employees usually earned), and at one time simul-

4 taneously held contracts to provide the sails for ninety-fivevessels. EVidence like this is useful. AccoUnt books and .ledgers would be even more useful.

In 1838, to defeat a proposal to prohibit Black citizensin Pennsylvania from voting, White abolitionist Benjamin

45 Bacon and Black American minister Charles Gardner went

1 1from house to house in Philadelphia's Black communitygathering data for a massive'census to document the contributions of Black citizens. Forten a l w a y ~sppke up loudly

. for equality before the law, but he withheld the details of5 his personal fortune, which ~ s thave been considerable,

from the census takers.,However worthy thecause-

and he was clearly -n sympathy with Bacon and Gardner'sa i m s ~ t h e r ewere some things an astuie busjnessman keptto himself. .

55 Hthe narrative of James Forten's life as a businessmanhas many more loose ends than, for example, the story ofhis involvement in the antislavery crusade, or his relationship with various family members, it is largely e c a u ~,of the nature of the evidence. His busines.s interests e r e

60 .many, and it was as a businessman that he would oftendefine himself. When he wrote to his friend -abolitionistWilliam Lloyd Garrison, -he alluded again and again tohis need to attend to ''business.'' B u s i n e s s p r e v ~ n t smoreat this time and You know lam a man of business, and

65 have not always tiine at my disposal. Perhaps these werepolite excuses but, when all was said and done, JamesForten was a man of business.

Sadly, the records that should enable us t ~ t to theheart of his success in business have simply not survived.

70 Pulling together the scattered pieces of the puzzle, theloose threads of half a ,century spent in a m ~ s i n gan impressive fortune, is a task that intrigues even as it ultimatelyfrustrates. In a t t e r s o f b u s i n ~ sJames Forten did as anygood businessman of the iinie would do. Aware that dle'

75 talk about one's affairs could prove costly, he kept hiscounsel and he .keeps it still.

13. The author s u g g ~ s t sthat Forten' s relationship withthe White community is elusive to the twenty-first e n ~researclie( e s 2-3) because -

(A) Forten' s success in business puzzled manyof his contemporaries

(B) Forten's popularity CaQllot be co¢irmedby historical records

(C) anecdotes about Forten are contradictoryand confusing

(D) legal records indicate that Forten had bothborrowed and lent money

(E) existing dOCumentsdo not fully explain the .nature of Forten' s business associations

Questions 34-39 are, based on the following passages.

he following a s ~ a g e swere adapted from hv recentlypublished t o r i e s ~, -

Passage 1Roberta disliked this new weather forecaster, whose

. delivery, sj>eaking of the terrible weather, tilted alternatelytoward the jaunty and the grave. He moved before i ~ car

line toon inaps, trailing, t h r o u g h ~ o m etechnical chicanery, je t5 streams and storm frontS from his fingers. Rough sailing,

he said. Pioneer spirit. We may be down, Oregon, u t

w e ~ r enot out. He was fit and handsome and winning 'and would have made a fine game-show host, Robertathought-': all that easy, disarming, fraudulent charm.

1 Trust me, he invited you.,You',ll enjoy it.Roberta preferred the old weather forecaster, Larry-

an honest, straightforward name, not like this one, Bryceor :arock. Larry was flushed and unfit, inclined towardpanic. He looked like a conventioneer on New Year's

15 Eve-his plaid jacket threatened to come loose, his tieto go flapping. From the first, he seemed stopgap, ripefor replacement, which it turned out he was. He wasa pessimist, one of the things Roberta liked best abouthim, and a worrier. He reported mudslides and stationary

2 low fronts and the .inevitable weeks of rain with a petulantregret, as if all this bad news were, in some way he hadn'tyet been able to figure, partly his fault. Roberta had lookedforward to -seeing him every moming, again at six 0 t clock,following his unswerving decline with a f f e c t i o n ~She hoped

5 he was off forecasting someplace warm and predictable,Arizona, for ,example, 'though she d o u b ~it.

Passage 2

, Pilots, surgeons, and weather forecasters are all cut from, the same cloth; their imperative is to keep their cool, even

-as danger n f o l ~ saround t h ~ m .Whether they are a b o u ~to3 take a 757 full of Girl Scouts up in a thunderstorm, remove

a IOdriey, or watch a twister touch down, they all talk withthe same high-wire slang. We're gonna button up androll on out of here, a doctor might say, about to completea liver transplant, but the words might just as easily come

35 from a fighter pilot i ~ s h i n g a dangerous reconnaissancemission or Bobby K. the weatherwolf completing hisnightly forecast. It's their way of letting you know youare in capable hands.

Bobby always starts his weather report off with some ,4 kind of folksy observation. Better tie yourselves down,

gang, because we got a nor' easter· that's gonna twistyouroimbus into a real knot, he'l l say. lt 's movingsouth over Albany carrying a bushel,basket of the whitestuff. Then, just when you think he's a little too casual .

• Nor'easters are storms that C{Ul occur in the EasternUnitedStates. Theyare known forhurricane-forcewinds and for dumping large amountsofsnow and rain. .

3Questions 40-48 are based on the following pagage.

The following excerpt is adapted from a 1996 book onthe nature o eeing

Our'eyes are built to seek out complete figures.f

am shown a triangle missing the m i ~ t i o n sof its sides,I will complete it in my mind. We instinctively repair the

Line fragments into wholes and search for continuous contours5 and closed cUrves. Shards present our eyes with a problem,

and our brains cast around for t t e r n s ~assembling piecesinto shapes. Our eyes prefer practically any object to aborderless scatter of points. ,

Those, at least, are the facts of vision. If a building1 is half hidden by the branches of a tree, we literally see

it in fragments: subtract the tree and you have a floatingcollection of irregular building pieCes. But the braincompletes the puzzle and the building is seen as a whole.Psychoneurologists 1 call this phenomenon subjective

15 contour completion, and it helps explain how we canroutinely see a singIe building n s ~ dof disjunct pieces.On a deeper level, subjective contour completion answersa desire for wholeness over dissection and form overshapelessness.

2 The night sky is such a shapeless thing. It is a chaos;it has no pictures; it does not represent any earthly forms.I t has no border, no picture frame, no outlines, no up ordown, no beginning or end. For those reasons, it is beautiful but 'intolerable to our eyes, and we make it into

. 25 a tapestry of pictures and patterns, of mythical creaturesand geometric regions. I still find a sense of pleasure andwonderment when I look straight up on an August nightand see Cygnus, the Swan, silently flying across the Milky

Way. Having learned how to pick out its vast wings and30 its long, thin neck, I can never g i nsee those s tars asrandom points. It is not surprising that Cygnus has beena bird since before the Greeks, though it has not alwaysbeen a swan. In early texts it is a hen, a big goose, a pigeon, .a homed owl, an ibis, a mottled desert partridge, and a roc

35 (the bird that carried off Sinbad the Sailor). Yet from themoment it was seen as a bird, it was destined to always bea bird, and that is the way It usually is with consteiIations.

,With force of will, people have been able to ~ thingsin the night sky; at one time the pagan heavens were .

4 Christianized so that the believer would see nothing butsaints in the night sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, someeven more . triking patterns were observed. Because . he

Southern Hemisphere was first mapped during the fervor .of Enlightenment 2 rationalism, it has constellations .named

45 after scientific instruments. There is the Telescope, the AirPump, and the Microscope-very unlikely objects toimagine floating in the sky, and decidedly unromantic.Few of them fit the stars very well, but the point ofconstellations is to make a comprehensible unity out of an

5 underlying chaos, and it takes only one or two stars toanchor a fantasy as odd as a microscope to the heavenly

3 3 · 3 3.

vault. The one star at the top of the microscope and theother below are like quilting pointS, the buttons ill

. upholstery: they force the fabric into c O ~ t a c twith the55 frame b e n e ~just enough sathe two 'remain cOnnected.

The rest is stuffing. The other stars and other parts of the

microscope don't need to be anywhere in particular. s. long as the quilting points hold, we will the microscope. .

Bird or saint, desert partridge or mythical roe it ~ s n t

6 matter. All that counts is that we are not thrown back on theincomprehensible field of nameless stars.
