7. Name the genre:Tom was excited to be traveling to America with his parents. He had never been away from Germany.

8. The store carried quite a bit of stuff-sugar, flour, dried fruits, canned goods and such on one side. On the other side of the yard, they carried goods, coats, caps, aprons and the like of that on the other. It wasn't a big store like Hirsch Brothers Store up the street. Never would be, people guessed, that it would have gone out of business long ago if Mr. Baumer hadn't let it. He had started the store just two years before and, the way things were, worked himself close to death. He was at the high desk at the end of the grocery counter when I came in the next afternoon. He had his eyeshades on and his pencil was in hand instead of behind his ear and his glasses were roosted on the nose that Slade had twisted. He didn't hear me open and close the door or hear my feet as I walked back to him, and I saw he wasn't doing anything with the pencil but holding it over paper. I stood and studied him for a minute, seeing a small, stooped man with a little belly bulging through his unbuttoned vest. He was a man you wouldn't remember from meeting once. There was nothing in his looks to set itself in your mind unless maybe it was his chin, which was a small hill in the gentle plain of his face. While I watched him, he lifted his hand and ran his fingers along his nose. Then he saw me. His eyes had that kind of tired look that seems to go with age or illness, though he wasn't really old or sick, either. He brought his hand down quickly and picked up the pencil, but then he saw I was still looking at the nose, and finally he sighed and said, "That Slade." Just the sound of the name brought Slade to my eye. I could vision him slouched in front of the bar, and I saw him and his string of horses coming down the road. I could see Slade's whip lifting hair from a horse because it would sting so badly. I had heard people say that Slade could make a horse scream with that whip. The passage states that Mr. Baumer "worked himself to death" . What can you infer that this means?

59. After he became President, Lincoln told his Secretary of State the following story of the first dollar he ever had for his own: "Seward, " he said, "Did you ever hear how I earned my first dollar?" "No, " replied Seward. "Well, I was about eighteen years of age ..... and had constructed a flatboat ..... A steamer was going down the river. We have, you know, no docks on the western streams, and the custom was, if passengers were at any of the landings they had to go out in a boat, the steamer stopping and taking them on board. I was contemplating my new boat, and wondering whether I could make it stronger or improve it in any part, when two men with trunks came down to the shore in carriages, and looking at the different boats, singled out mine, and asked:'Who owns this?" ' I answered modestly, 'I do.' 'Will you, ' said one of them, 'take us and our trunks out to the steamer?' 'Certainly, ' said I. I was very glad to have a chance for earning something, and supposed that they would give me a couple of 'bits.' The trunks were put in my boat, the passengers seated themselves on them, and I sculled them out to the steamer. They got on board, and I lifted the trunks and put them on deck. The steamer was moving away when I called out:'You have forgotten to pay me!' Each of them took from his pocket a silver half-dollar and threw it on the bottom of my boat. I could scarcely believe my eyes as I picked up the money. You may think it was a very little thing, and in these days it seems to make like a trifle, but it was a most important incident in my life at that time. I could scarcely credit that I, a poor boy, had earned a dollar in less than a day-that by honest work I had earned a dollar. I was a more hopeful and thoughtful boy from that time. Which of the following is the best character trait to describe President Lincoln?
60. (Baseball Saved Us):Although this story is fiction, it is based on things that really happened in the past.
