Passage 3: People use math all the time in daily life. When a person goes shopping, she adds up the prices of her items before she gets to the checkout line to avoid overspending. At least once a month, people have to balance their checking accounts. For example, sometimes a consumer will have to figure out loan terms and decide whether to buy a new cat and which way of financing the purchase will be most economical. Rosemary works at the family store all summer and balances a cash box every day. Monthly she writes out a budget and mail checks to pay bills. She rarely uses a calculator for these routine chores, and she believes her mind is sharper for it.

Passage 2: Consider what you could do with a chip in your head that linked directly to the Internet: Within milliseconds, you could retrieve just about any piece of information. And with the collective knowledge of the Web at your disposal, you could quickly fill in your brain’s normal memory gaps—no one would ever guess you slept through that economics seminar. (Maria Konnikova, "Brain Hacking." The Atlantic, June 2015)
Passage 1: When I was thirteen years old, I came down with the flu. I was stuck in the house for a week, and my grandmother came to visit me to see how I was feeling. She had a crazy idea that she would teach me how to crochet. She thought that it might help me pass time. Well, bless her heart, she tried. She brought me yards of pretty blue yarn and two knitting needles. My mom and grandma sat on the couch with me, trying to explain the concept of “knit one, pearl two.” However, it just didn’t work. I practiced and practiced. The most that I could come up with was an odd-shaped potholder. My grandmother and my mother gave me the impression any woman could knit. They had me convinced that I could have an afghan in no time. They were right, if you want to call an odd-shaped potholder an afghan. Every once in a while, I pick up my mom’s needles and give it a try. Then, those horrible memories come back. I remember: I can’t do this, and furthermore, I don’t like it. Knitting is one of those “woman things” I just don’t get.
5. The wind began to blow fiercely, and the rain was getting harder with each passing second. Palm fronds were blowing across the road like leaves. The rain was now coming at me horizontally instead of vertically, blowing from left to right. Within a few minutes, I couldn’t see the road directly in front of my car. The force of the rain fell and sounded like a hundred fire hoses aimed directly at the left side of my car. I slowed down to a literal crawl and tried to continue without driving into the lake or a ditch.
4. I chew noisily and happily like a puppy at a food bowl.
