Excerpt from Batter Up: The Baseball Bat
Kathy Hufford



The first “official” baseball game was played in the early 1800s, more than 160 years ago. The equipment was simple: bat, ball, dirt playing field, and four wooden bases. No gloves.

In the early years, the players made their bats, all from wood. Eventually, batmakers found that the best style of the bat was long and slender, tapered, with a carved knob at the end of the bat for better control.

Although the first metal bat was patented in 1924, players did not start using metal bats until the first aluminum bats were developed in the 1970s. Bats made of aluminum became an instant success. They were light, durable, and easy to use, and players could hit the ball much farther than with a wooden bat. Unlike the wooden bat, a metal bat temporarily flexes when hit with the ball, and springs back, transferring more energy to the ball than a rigid wooden bat. This so-called “trampoline effect” is the secret of the metal bat’s superior performance over a wooden bat.

The design of bats continues to evolve as manufacturers search for ways to magnify the trampoline effect and increase the size of the bat’s “sweet spot” (the optimal place on the bat for hitting the ball). One design introduced in the late 1990s 
is a double-walled bat; this design comprises an outer wall of aluminum, an inner wall of a composite material (often graphite), and a “filling” of rubber or a thick fluid between the two walls.
If you were collecting information on how aluminum bats came to be used in college and high school baseball, which would the most appropriate note to take for the third paragraph of the passage?

A) aluminum bats work better
B) aluminum bats invented in the 70s
C) wooden bats invented in the 1800s
D) wooden bats don't work as well

The Inca Empire was one of the greatest empires the world has ever seen. Scholars believe that these South American Indians migrated to the Cuzco Valley in southeastern Peru around 1200 CE. The Incas were organized and had great leadership. They were excellent farmers. They built an irrigation system in the desert. They even built paved roads. They formed a powerful army and conquered nearby villages. The Incas expanded their territory, at one point controlling most of South America.



Despite the vastness and strength of their empire, the Incas were no match for the Spanish conquistadors. The conquistadors came to the New World in search of fortune. Their greed, ruthlessness, and contempt for native cultures proved deadly for the Incas. However, nothing was more deadly than the smallpox with which the conquistadors infected the Incas. By 1535, the conquistadors had wiped out the Inca Empire, needlessly destroying a grand civilization.



Which sentence BEST states the author’s viewpoint?

Question 2 options:

The Spanish conquistadors were cruel and selfish.


The Spanish conquistadors respected the Incas.


The Incas were not efficient in managing their Empire.


The Incas were even worse conquerors than the Spanish.

All Victor ever wanted to do with his life was be a singer. He didn't pay attention in school and he spent all of his time at home watching music videos online and impersonating his idols. His mother tried to teach him the value of getting an education and having a backup plan, but Victor would respond the same way every time, "Mom, I won't need to know any of that boring old stuff when I'm famous. You'll see." But there was one major problem with Victor's plan: he wasn't any good at singing. Victor wanted to be a singer so badly, that he didn't notice the pained look on the faces of those who endured his singing. Because he wanted to be a singer so badly, when honest people told him to find something else to do with his life, he accused them of being "jealous haters" and ignored their advice. After Victor dropped out of high school to focus on his music career, the years passed and the doors never opened. What is the theme of this story?

In years past, educational systems often focused exclusively on mainstream culture. These systems
focused on teaching from one cultural group and its traditions, suggesting then
other cultural groups and their traditions were not worth studying. Thank goodness
that trend is changing. As educational systems increase their acceptance of other people's family

, we will probably see educational materials that include more
authors who might fall outside the accepted bunch of school resources
