Use the passage, which was written by a German journalist, and your knowledge of world history to answerquestions 1 and 2.Additional Test Practice, pp. S1—S33

Imagine a roomful of 14-year-olds—from Germany, Japan,Israel, Russia and Argentina. Obviously, they would all be wearing Levi’s and baseball caps. But how would they relate to one another? They would communicate inEnglish, though haltingly and with heavy accents. About what? . . . They would debate the merits of Nike versusConverse, of Chameleon versus Netscape. Sure, they wouldnot discuss Herman Melville or George Gershwin, butneither would they compare notes on Dante or ThomasMann. The point is that they would talk about icons andimages “made in the U.S.A.”
