Black Literature
The
first black literature in America was not written but was preserved in an oral
tradition, in a rich body of folklore, songs and stories, many from African
origins. There are humorous tales, Biblical stories, animal stories, and
stories of natural phenomena, of good and bad people, and of the wise and
foolish. Many reflect how African-Americans viewed themselves and their lives.
The lyrics of blues, spirituals, and work songs speak of suffering and hope,
joy and pain, loved ones, and religious faith, and are an integral part of the
early literature of black people in America.
The
earliest existing written black literature was Lucy Terry’s poem “Bars Fight,”
written in 1746. Other 18th-century black poets include Jupiter Hammon and
George Moses Horton. The first African- American to publish a book in America
was Phillis Wheatley. Black poetry also flourished in the 19th century, during
which the writings of almost 40 poets were printed, the most notable of whom
was Paul Laurence Dunbar, the first black American to achieve national acclaim
for his work. Dunbar published eight volumes of poetry and eight novels and
collections of stories.
More
than three dozen novels were written by blacks between 1853 and 1899, but
autobiography dominated African-American literature in the 19th century, as it
had in the 18th. In the 20th century, however, fiction has presided, with
Charles w. Chestnutt, America’s first black man of letters, successfully
bridging the two centuries. He began publishing short fiction in the mid-1880s,
wrote two books that appeared in 1899, and had three books published between
1900 and 1905. He was a pioneer of the “new literature” of the early 1900s,
which aimed to persuade readers of the worth and equality of
African-Americans.
1. Which of the following is NOT
mentioned in the passage as part of the oral tradition of African-Americans?
A. Humorous tales
B. Tales of adventure
C. Biblical stories
D. Animal stories
2. According to the passage, the
lyrics of blues and spirituals are often concerned with_________.
A. the pain and joy in life
B. loved ones and animals
C. religion and nature
D. wise and foolish people
3. According to the passage, an
important part of early African-American literature was_________.
A. novels
B. short fiction stories
C. biographies
D. songs
4. According to the passage, what
form dominated African-American literature in the 19th century?
A. Poetry
B. Novels
C. Autobiography
D. Fiction
5. According to the passage, Charles
w. Chestnutt was one the first writers to_________.
A. write about the suffering of
African- Americans
B. publish short fiction in the
early 1900s
C. write persuasively about the
worth of African Americans
D. dominate the
African-American literary tradition

There
are three main types of sedimentary rocks, which are classified according to
the origin and size of their particles.
One type, called evaporates, is formed from chemically derived sediments. For
example, an inland sea might evaporate and leave a deposit of rock salt.
The
second type is derived entirely from organic material. Since it
is a fossil in its own right, it is called fossiliferous rock. Fossiliferous
rocks, such as limestones and chalks, are formed from calcium-based skeletons
of tiny organisms deposited on the seabed. Some limestones are fossilized
corals; others, known as tufa, are derived from mosses and
other plants that grow beside hot springs. Carbon-based rocks, such as coal and
jet, are the remains of plant material laid down in huge quantities. The
remains of sponges and microscopic diatoms constitute rocks such as chert and
flint.
The
third type of sedimentary rock is classic. It is formed from eroded particles
of other rocks and is graded according to the size of these particles. Fine
shales are perhaps the most significant sedimentary rocks covering the earth.
The
sedimentary rocks most likely to contain fossils are those that were laid down in places where there
was abundant life and where deposition was rapid enough to bury the organisms
before their bodies were broken up and decomposed. The sandy bottoms of
shallow, calm seas, river deltas, lagoons, and deserts are the most likely
places to give rise to fossils. The finer the sediment, the finer the detail
recorded in them. Details such as the fur of
those reptilian flyers, the pterosaurs, are only visible because they were
fossilized in exceptionally fine limestone.
1. In paragraph 1 the word “their”
refers to_________.
A. particles
B. sedimentary rocks
C. origin and size
D. classification
2. As used in this passage, the word
“material” refers to. _________
A. cloth
B. articles
C. matter
D. values
3. The word “others” in in paragraph
2 refers to_________.
A. fossilized corals
B. limestones
C. tiny organisms
D. mosses
4. To which of the following does
the word “those” in paragraph 4 refer?
A. Sedimentary rocks
B. Fossils
C. Organisms
D. Fine shales
5. The word “them” in paragraph 4
refers to_________.
A. sediments
B. fossils
C. details
D. limestones

Wrigley’s Chewing Gum
Wrigley’s chewing gum was actually
developed as a premium to be given away with other Products rather than as a
primary product for sale. As a teenager, William Wrigley Jr. was working for
his father in Chicago selling soap that had been manufactured in his father’s
factory. The soap was not very popular with merchants because it was priced at
five cents, and this selling price did not leave a good profit margin for the
merchants. Wrigley convinced his father to raise the price to ten cents and to
give away cheap umbrellas as a premium for the merchants. This worked
successfully, confirming to Wrigley that the use of premiums was an effective
sales tool.
Wrigley then established his own company;
in his company he was selling soap as a wholesaler, giving baking soda away as
a premium, and using a cookbook to promote each deal. Over time, the baking
soda and cookbook became more popular than the soap, so Wrigley began a new
operation selling baking soda. He began hunting for a new premium item to give
away with sales of baking soda; he soon decided on chewing gum. Once again,
when Wrigley realized that demand for the premium was stronger than the demand
for the original product, he created the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company to produce and
sell chewing gum.
Wrigley started out with two brands
of gum, Vassar and Lotta Gum, and soon introduced Juicy Fruit and Spearment.
The latter two brands grew in popularity, while the first two were phased out.
Juicy Fruit and Spearment are two of Wrigley’s main brands to this day.
1. It
is NOT indicated in paragraph 1 that young William was working_________.
A. in Chicago
B. for his father
C. as a soap salesman
D. in his father’s factory
2.
According to paragraph 1, it is NOT true that the soap that young Wrigley was
selling_________.
A. was originally well-liked
B. was originally priced at five cents
C. originally provided little profit for merchants
D. eventually became more popular with merchants
3.
According to paragraph 2, it is NOT true that, when Wrigley first founded his
own company, he was_________.
A. selling soap
B. selling chewing gum

Frank Gehry was once considered just
another Southern California eccentric. It wasn’t until the late 1980s that he
began receiving international acclaim as one of the world’s foremost
architects. Outside the mainstream, his random designs have been so unique as
to have defied categorization. In the late 1970s he was preoccupied with the
notion of things in progress and his belief that buildings are most interesting
when still unfinished. To give the impression of a structure in the state of
construction, Gehry incorporated exposed studs and joinings, unpainted walls,
and transparent skeletal framework in his buildings. In the early 1980s he
explored the relation between space, structure, and light.
Like the renderings of artists,
Gehry’s work is very expressive. His close identity with painters and sculptors
has inspired him to infuse his buildings with the qualities of immediacy,
spontaneity, and improvisation. His fascination with textures and materials led
him to experiment with the effect of combining different building materials,
such as plywood, metal, and glass.
While Gehry has achieved
international prominence as one of the era’s most provocative and creative
architects, he continues to experiment with form and structure. With his
casual, intuitive approach to design, his buildings continue to demonstrate a
high degree of freedom and invention. His work has inspired architects
worldwide, who have taken his style and themes to cities around the globe.

New World Epidemics
A huge loss
of life resulted from the introduction of Old World diseases into the Americas
in the early sixteenth century. The inhabitants of the Americas were separated
from Asia, Africa, and Europe by rising oceans following the Ice Ages, and, as
a result, they were isolated by
means of this watery barrier from numerous virulent epidemic diseases that had developed across the ocean, such as
measles, smallpox, pneumonia, and malaria. Pre-Columbian Americans had a
relatively disease-free environment but also lacked the antibodies needed to
protect them from bacteria and
viruses brought to America by European explorers and colonists. A devastating
outbreak of disease that strikes for the first time against a completely
unprotected population is known as a Virgin soil epidemic. Virgin soil
epidemics contributed to an unbelievable decline in the population of native
inhabitants of the Americas, one that
has been estimated at as much as an 80 percent decrease of the native
population in the centuries following the arrival of Europeans in the Americas.
