THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER": LEGENDARY BLACK AMERICAN SPORTS HEROES
JACKIE ROBINSON
"A life is not important except in the impact it
has on other lives," reads the tombstone of
Jackie Robinson, the first Black athlete (1)
...... in baseball's major leagues in the 20th
century. By breaking the color barrier in
1947, Robinson made great strides (2) ......
for black athletes ...... for all concerned with
racial justice. When Jackie, who had in high
school excelled at (3) ...... sport he played,
began playing baseball professionally, he had
to play with the Negro Leagues because the
major leagues were closed to Black players
(4) ....... Branch Rickey, president of the
Brooklyn Dodgers team, thought that this
was wrong, and wanted to find someone who
could successfully integrate the sport. He met
with Jackie and, impressed by both his skill
and his courage, put him on the field with the
Dodgers in April 1947. The chief problem
Jackie had to overcome was controlling his
fiery temper in the face of continual racial
slurs from the crowds and the other
ballplayers, including some of (5) ......
teammates. Jackie never broke his promise
to Rickey to remain silent, even though
pitchers sometimes deliberately threw the
ball at him, hotels often would not
accommodate him, and he and his family
received death threats. Instead, he let his
playing speak for him, and went on to have a
fantastic first season and, in the end, a Hall
of Fame career.

ARTHUR ASHE
With a win in the men's singles event at the
US Open tennis championship in 1968, Arthur
Ashe became the first Black American to win
a Grand Slam, one of the four major tennis
tournaments. Five years earlier, in 1963, he
had broken the color barrier in tennis when
he became the first Black man selected to
(6) ...... the United States as a member of
the Davis Cup team. In his career, he used
his grace and power to stun opponents, and
racked up a total of 33 professional
tournament titles before his retirement in
1980. Ashe was much more than (7) ...... a
tennis player, though: he was also an
eloquent spokesman who worked to effect
social change both on and off the tennis
court, using the wealth he amassed from
tennis to champion and support (8) ......

and Haitian refugees in the United States,
and the education of people about AIDS.

BOB BEAMON
The fact that Tommie Smith, in winning the
200-meter race in 1968, had set a world
record is now largely forgotten as a result of
the medal ceremony protest, but not (21)
...... with the record of another American
athlete -Bob Beamon; who specialized in the
long jump. Beamon had considered taking
part in Smith and Carlos's Black Power
protest, but eventually (22) ...... doing
something just (23) ...... memorable. Prior
to Beamon's long jump in Mexico City in
1968, the world record in that event (24)
...... 13 times since 1901, with an average
increase of 0.06 meters and the longest
increase being 0.15 meters. As Beamon
prepared, the world record stood at 8.35
meters - and then he jumped 8.90 meters,
shattering the record by 0.55 meters. (25)
...... the defending Olympic champion, Lynn
Davies of England, told Beamon, "You have
destroyed this event," and in track and field
jargon a new adjective - "Beamonesque" came into use to describe spectacular feats.
Beamon's record wasn't broken until 1991,
twenty-three years later, when Mike Powell
jumped 8.95 meters at the Track and Field
World Championships in Tokyo.

MICHAEL JORDAN
When we think of basketball legend Michael
Jordan, we think of a man soaring through

His face is known throughout the world, from
Baltimore to Bangladesh, and the image of
him leaping upwards, basketball in hand, was
long used as a symbol for the Nike company.
He played college ball at the University of
North Carolina, (27) ...... in 1982 he won the
championship game with a last-second shot.
Professionally, he played for the Bulls for
thirteen seasons and won numerous honors,
not to mention six NBA championships.
Though he was unstoppable on the court, he
was not immune to tragedy (28) ...... it: in
August 1993, his father, James Jordan, was
murdered. (29) ...... returning from the
funeral of a friend, he had decided to pull
over onto the side of the road to take a nap.
As he slept, two local criminals pulled up,
killed him, and stole his car - the car which
Michael had recently bought him as a gift.
The men were soon caught, but Michael

"SO, WHAT SHALL WE GO SEE TONIGHT?": FILM GENRES
"I GOT MY HONOR AND I GOT MY GUN":
THE WESTERN
The prototypical film genre, the Western is
devoted to telling romanticized tales of the
American West. The fundamental plots of
Westerns are simple. Life is reduced to its
elements: no computers, no cellphones, no
cars, no electricity; in fact, no twenty-first
century technology and (1) ...... no "modern
life." The high technology of the era - such as
the telegraph, the printing press and the
railroad - does sometimes appear, but
primarily in order to symbolize the fact that
this idealized frontier lifestyle is transitory,
soon to give way to "civilization", (2) ......
advent is generally portrayed as regrettable.
Using the simple elements (3) ...... above,
the Western tells a simple morality tale set
(4) ...... the spectacular scenery of the
American West. The Western portrays a
society in which individuals have no social
order (5) ...... the family or the town, or
sometimes just themselves, and hence - in
order to survive- they must live by a certain
self-imposed code of honor, which is
sometimes violent and sometimes generous,
but always individually chosen.

"GODFATHERS AND GOONS": CRIME AND
GANGSTER FILMS
Crime and gangster films are developed
around the actions of such people as bank
robbers, Mafia men and ruthless gangsters,
(6) ...... of them stealing and murdering
their way through life. Films in this genre
often highlight the life and career of a crime
figure, detailing his rise and fall through his
power struggles and conflicts with law-andorder figures or rival gangs. (7) ...... films
tend to be set in large, crowded cities and
provide a window onto the secret world of the
criminal. The gangsters (8) ...... are usually
materialistic, street-smart, violent and selfdestructive. They rise to power in a tough
cruel manner, showing an ambitious desire
for success and recognition, but underneath
they can also express sensitivity and
gentleness. (9) ...... Westerns, gangster
films are basically morality tales: they are
success stories turned upside-down, with the
criminals living in a dream world of their own,
destined for eventual failure and inevitable
death. (10) ...... as the stories are told from
their point of view, they usually end up being
seen as sympathetic characters.

PERIODS AND ATTITUDES IN LIFE AND ART
MEDIEVAL LIFE
Two main social systems seem to have
dominated Western Europe during the Middle
Ages: the Catholic Church, and the feudal
system. (1) ...... of these were structured

aspects of the lives of the individuals

THE ANGLERFISH
THE OCTOPUS
The anglerfish is a unique (21) ...... of deepsea fish named for its (22) ...... method of
catching prey: the word "angler" means
"fisherman", and indeed this is a fish which
essentially fishes for other fish. The
anglerfish has a gigantic mouth with quite
sharp teeth, and (23) ...... from its forehead
is a curious growth which is quite long and
thin. This growth can be shaken so as to
resemble prey, and is also able to light up - a
phenomenon known as bioluminescence,
which is very useful in the pitch black of the
deep sea. The anglerfish itself is either dull
gray, dark brown, or black, and so cannot be
seen when it shines its light. Other predators
are (24) ...... to the anglerfish's wiggling,
glowing growth, and (25) ...... close enough
for the anglerfish to devour them whole,
which it can do by disconnecting its jaw,
much as snakes do, and swallowing prey up
to twice as large as its entire body.

HIGHLAND ENGLISH
Highland English is the variety of Gaelicinfluenced Scottish English (16) ...... in the
highlands of Scotland. Island English is the
variety spoken (17) ...... a second language
by native Gaelic speakers in the Outer
Hebrides. This variety of English shows the
influence of Gaelic most clearly in
pronunciation, but also in grammar. For
example, medial and final consonants
(18) ...... to be de-voiced (as is standard in
Gaelic), so that "whatever" becomes
pronounced as "whateffer". Similarly, the
"parasitic vowel" that is used in some
consonant combinations in Gaelic is used,
(19) ...... "film" is pronounced as "fillum".
The grammatical effect is most apparent with
verbs, as Gaelic uses the verb "to be" with
the active participle of the verb to indicate a
continuous action as in English, but also uses
this construction for iterative meanings;
therefore, "I go to Stomoway on Mondays,"
becomes "I am going to Stornoway on
Mondays." The past tense in Highland English
may use the verb "to be" (20) ...... by
"after" and the participle, as in "I am after
buying a newspaper," to mean "I have [just]
bought a newspaper."

"BELIEVE IT OR NOT"
"THE EARTH IS (NOT) OUR MOTHER":
CHIEF SEATTLE'S NON-SPEECH
One of the most famous and moving
speeches in American history was not
actually spoken as thought. Chief Seattle (1) ...... the West Coast city is named - was
a leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish
tribes and a warrior with a great reputation
(2) ...... his people. In the mid-19th century,
an epidemic of smallpox wiped out (3) ......
the people, and Seattle began to recognize
the inevitability of the white man's advance.
In 1854, he concluded a land deal in which
he sold the land to the US government, and
announced the sale to a mixed group of
whites and Indians. The text of this speech as
most people know it expresses the
connection Seattle's people felt with nature,
(4) ...... contrast ...... the whites' disregard
for it; many environmentalists have since
used the speech to express their own views.
However, in fact he said nothing like this, but
simply praised the US President for his
generosity in buying the land. The speech
that people are familiar with was written by
Ted Perry, a screenwriter, for a 1972 film
about ecology. (5) ...... this text came to be
wrongly associated with Chief Seattle is
anyone's guess.

PIONEERS IN EDUCATION
JOHANN HEINRICH PESTALOZZI
Education (1) ...... nature was the theme
around which Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
(1746-1827) constructed his program to
reform the schooling of very young children.
He believed that clear thinking comes from
accurate observation of the world. His
proposals (2) ....... the development of the
mind (3) ...... physical exercise, moral
education, and vocational training. Thus, his
learn-by-doing (4) ...... emphasized writing,
drawing, singing, exercise, model making,
mapmaking, group recitations, and field trips.
He was influential in ridding schools of the
oppressive discipline and cruel punishments
that were commonly inflicted upon children.
His principles were put to work in Prussia and
in some English and American schools.

JEAN PIAGET
MARIA MONTESSORI
A pioneer in modern education, Maria
Montessori (1870-1952) devised the
progressive method that (21) ...... her
name. An Italian psychiatrist, she introduced
the Montessori Method in the early 1900s. In
1894, Maria Montessori became the first
woman (22) ...... a medical degree by the
University of Rome. After graduation, she
worked with supposedly ineducable children.
Her progressive method developed from this
work and from her experiences as director of
Casa dei Bambini, or Children's House, a
school for children. The method is based on a
child's natural development and growing
awareness of the world (23) ...... perceived
through the senses. A variety of learning
tools are provided, and the children
themselves choose (24) ...... they wish to
use. The interest of the students is sustained
by their feeling of accomplishment and by the
pleasure derived from doing things (25) ......
they have chosen themselves.

The Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget (18961980) was the first scientist to make
systematic studies of (26) ...... children
learn. His concept of the stages of learning
made it necessary for scholars to reevaluate
previous information about children and the
learning process. (27) ...... his work,
teachers came to be viewed as
guides to children's discovery of (28) ......
and the world - not just as transmitters of
learning. Piaget viewed children as people
who continually make and remake their own
reality. They grow mentally by taking the
simple concepts they learn early on and
integrating them into more advanced ones.
Piaget described four stages of development
(29) ...... all individuals pass. In the
sensorimotor stage, children become aware
of themselves as separate beings in the
world; they try to master their reflexes, and
they constantly experiment. The
preoperational stage, from about 2 to 7
years, is marked by learning language;
children are able to handle words mentally
just as they handled objects in the previous
stage. In the concrete operational stage,
from 7 until 12, children begin to classify
objects (30) ...... their similarity or
difference. This is the beginning of logic. The
last stage is the period of formal operations,
which lasts into adulthood. It becomes
possible to make hypotheses and to master
abstract ideas.
