Passage 1

Jackie Robinson began his professional baseball career in 1945 with the Kansas City Monarchs, one of the leading teams of the then-separate Negro Leagues. Later that year, Robinson was recruited and signed by Branch Rickey, the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers (now the Los Angeles Dodgers). Robinson was called up from the minor leagues to the Brooklyn team in 1946, becoming the first black player to compete in the major leagues in the 20th century.
Breaking baseball’s color barrier was a serious challenge, and Robinson met fierce resistance from many players and fans. Robinson endured malicious catcalls and racial slurs shouted from the stands and even anonymous death threats. Some rival players threw pitches at Robinson’s head, spat on him when he slid into a base, and attempted to injure him with the spikes on their shoes. However, the determined Robinson survived these attacks and helped the Dodgers win the National League (NL) pennant in 1947. During the season, Robinson led the NL with 29 stolen bases and was named rookie of the year in the major leagues.

Passage 2

Wilma Rudolph was one of America’s first great track and field athletes. Born in Tennessee, Rudolph had far from a normal childhood. At the age of four she came down with pneumonia, polio, and scarlet fever. The illnesses so ravaged her body that Rudolph could not even walk normally until she turned eleven years old.
In high school, Rudolph was an outstanding basketball player. But track was the sport in which she really shone. In 1956 she ran at the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, and won a bronze medal in the 4X100-meter relay. At the 1960 Olympics, she won the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes and again ran on the 4X100-meter relay team.
In 1961, Rudolph won the James E. Sullivan Memorial Award, an award that goes each year to the outstanding amateur athlete in the US. Later that year Rudolph retired from competition.

Review the following passage from "Kicking More Plastic Habits".


And disposable plastic straws are simply unnecessary. Human lips were designed to efficiently and neatly consume liquids without the aid of a tube

And for disabled people who do actually need straws to drink, or for the rare occasion when only a straw will suffice, there are paper and reusable metal

and plastic alternatives.


The author acknowledges that other people might need to drink out of a straw. What does the author say to distinguish her point of view that people can still use straws without using disposable plastic straws?

Benjamin Franklin Flies a Kite by Eduardo Mata

In 1752, Benjamin Franklin had a theory that lightning was electricity. He wanted to prove that the power could be transferred to other objects. He grabbed a kite and experimented on a stormy afternoon.

Franklin believed that thunder clouds contained electrical charges. His plan was to fly the kite into the clouds so that electricity passed down the wet kite string. With his son, William, as his assistant, he went to work.

First, he tied an iron key to the silk kite string. Next, he ran a metal wire from the key into a jar designed to store electrical charges. Once the kite was in the air, he stood in a barn to keep safe and dry.

Soon, electrical charges from the clouds passed into the kite. They traveled along the wet string, to the key, down the wire, and into the jar. When Franklin reached his hand toward the key, he received a mild shock. The electricity had been captured and transferred. The experiment was a success.

At least it was for Benjamin Franklin. Other scientists were killed trying to duplicate his efforts. Looking back, it was not the safest way to test his theory. In this case, it worked out, and paved the way for future discoveries about electricity.

A Shocking and Stormy Night by Prentice Newton
I saw a shocking thing last night that I can’t quite explain.
On the street outside my window, a man stood in the rain.
Twas strange to see him all alone on such a stormy night.
Who goes out in a thunderstorm and tries to fly a kite?
He tied a key around the string then looked up to the sky.
He showed no fear as thunder crashed then launched the kite up high.
I found the whole thing frightening from the safety of my room.
I watched each flash of lightning with a growing sense of doom.
Then a burst of light struck the kite. It glowed as if on fire.
The string lit up as if it were a red-hot piece of wire.
And in the midst of all of this my eyes beheld the key.
It danced upon the kite string as if filled with energy.
Down on the ground, quite safe and sound, the man was dancing, too.
The reason for his happiness? I have not got a clue.
Was he just pleased that he survived or was it something more?
My curiosity was sparked, but I’ll never know for sure.
