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.

Read the excerpt from The Diary of a Young Girl.

We started off immediately the first day sewing curtains. Actually, you can hardly call them that, since they're nothing but scraps of fabric, varying greatly in shape, quality and pattern, which Father and I stitched crookedly together with unskilled fingers. These works of art were tacked to the windows, where they'll stay until we come out of hiding.

"What if the scallops bite me?" Alicia asked, rather more loudly and fearfully than she really wanted to sound.

"It won't hurt much," her brother, Ron, teased. "But if it does, I am fully prepared to amputate."

"You are not helping," Alicia shrieked.

Ron was driving the boat, and he clearly knew what he was doing. He had been running boats, working crab traps since Alicia was old enough to notice such things. Still, she wasn't sure she trusted him to tell her the truth about things. She was younger, and he liked to tease. She often found herself soaking wet from a dunk, or the loser in a game he'd "forgotten" to explain the rules for. She loved him nonetheless. He brought her treasures from his traps. He told her stories of strange creatures he'd seen in the salt marshes.

"Seriously," Ron continued, slowing the boat down, "they can't really hurt you. It's just a bivalve."

"Bivalve means 'two valves,'" Alicia said, "but that doesn't tell me anything about how hard they bite." Spray from the waves speckled Alicia's back and shoulder. She had turned to talk to Ron, but she also was enjoying a break from getting the spray in her face. It was a warm, sunny day, but Alicia knew if the wind picked up, she could get chilled.

"Look, it's not going to hurt if you get bitten," Ron said, taking her seriously now. "If you just pick them up from the back, you won't have any trouble. Shoot, you pick up crabs all the time and they have a much more painful pinch than a scallop."

"Well, there's a bigger place to put my hand on a crab. Scallops are petite."

"And squirty," Ron added. "You know they move by pushing water through their shell? But seriously, sis, they move slowly. They will be snuggled down in the sea grass when you see them and won't go far if they do move. You'll be fine. Now climb up on the bow, look out in the shallows, and see if you can see any."

Ron had slowed the boat to an almost idle speed. Up ahead, Alicia could see many boats anchored on the shallow flats. People walking around the boats would bend every now and then to pick something up from the water. It looked like a small city on the water, with people milling about, waiting for a movie to start or a party to begin.

Alicia climbed up to the front of the boat and looked out over the sea grass flats. The water was just a few feet deep, and she could see the dark green blades of sea grass swaying as the waves gently washed across the shallows. The boat moved slowly, and Alicia saw shells scattered here and there and sea urchins with their spiny red orbs. Small translucent fish darted away.

She had only seen pictures of scallops, but when she saw the first brown shell tucked into a clump of sea grass, she knew immediately what it was.

"I see one," she yelled, pointing.

"That's great," Ron yelled back. "Wait till you see a lot more than just one. It's not worth stopping for one."

Alicia continued looking, scanning first one side of the boat, then the other. She saw a stingray dash away, patches of gleaming white sand here and there, and another few sea urchins. Then, suddenly, as if they had passed into a new world, scallops were everywhere. Every few feet on both sides of the boat she saw them. Waving her hand at Ron, she turned and got ready to drop the anchor.

Have you ever seen a rainbow mountain? Well, there are many in China. The Danxia Landforms, named after Mount Danxia in Guangdong province, are breathtaking landforms that are unique to China. They were formed over a period of around 24 million years when rivers deposited red sandstone and other minerals. But let’s learn more about this.




The layers of this natural occurrence are a variety of colors, including blue, red, purple, and many others. There are also various kinds of landscapes. There are steep cliffs, waterfalls, mountains, and other natural features. There are spectacular sights and unusual mountains, such as tall, rounded ones.




Danxia in Zhangye was formed by the erosion of red sandstone, resulting in isolated peaks and steep stratified outcrops. Its extraordinary geological formation, along with long-term desert conditions, freeze-thaw peeling, wind and water erosion, and other causes, resulted in its current appearance. The landforms now have a wonderful array of shades! The colorful mountains, though, are not the only feature to see there! Let's find out what else is out there.




Hills and mountains of various shapes and sizes can be found at the Danxia Landforms. This natural phenomenon has a variety of sights to see, ranging from small orange hills to massive rainbow mountains. At the Binggou Danxia landform, for example, there are sandstone and rock formations in numerous shades of orange. Not to mention Mt. Danxia, a massive curved mountain!




There are several geological occurrences in the Danxia Landforms, ranging from rainbow mountains to orange rock formations. The multi-colored mountains, also known as the Rainbow Mountains of China, are awe-inspiring. They evolved over a period of about 24 million years when rivers deposited red sandstone and other minerals. What other natural phenomenon do you think of?
