Excerpt from Getting in Sync
Mira D’Angelo

6 Evelyn and Camilla’s coach agreed to a temporary partnership that would allow Camilla to train with Briony in Texas for the summer. The two girls rehearsed their first dive, a one-and-a-half pike, individually for weeks before attempting a coordinated dive. Evelyn watched from the stands, noticing only minor problems here and there. Camilla hinged forward a little too much before entering the water, creating a larger splash. Evelyn worked with her on body position to eliminate the problem. Briony was too aggressive on her jumps, so Evelyn asked her to pull back.
Which of these is an accurate and appropriate summary of paragraph 6?

A) Briony and Camilla worked well together from the start.
B) Briony and Camilla had to learn a completely new way to dive.
C) Both Briony and Camilla needed help improving their diving.
D) Briony and Camilla argued with each other from the start of their practice.

i felt like if a train had run over me. i felt miserable. he didn´t even asked me a question nor check on my skills! a pretty face and a perfect body was just as perfect for the position.

when i got home i cried for a long time until my tears dried from my being, then i told myself:   you are who you are, no one can tell you that you are not good enough because of your physical appearance. your intelligence will last forever! bodies age, faces disappear, but you   will always be
