So I am doing a Language Arts 7th grade Unit Practice Test. This is Unit 3: Heritage for 7th grade Arizona Connections Academy.
Here are my questions:
1.Read the passage about the life of Jackie Robinson.
Jackie Robinson was born on January 31, 1919, in Cairo, Georgia. He was the youngest of five children and raised by a single mom in relative poverty. Jackie was very much inspired by his older brother Matthew, who won a silver medal in the 200-meter dash at the 1936 Olympic Games, to pursue his talent and passion for athletics. He attended John Muir High School and then went on to Pasadena Community College, where he played football, basketball, track, and baseball. From there, Jackie went on to the University of California, Los Angeles, where his time was cut short due to financial hardship. Despite the fact that his academics were cut short, Jackie’s career was not.
After leaving the University of California, Jackie served in the United States Army. Fortunately, he never saw combat. However, during this time, he was arrested and court-martialed for refusing to move to the back of a segregated bus. Ultimately, he was acquitted of these charges and received an honorable discharge. It was after this discharge that Jackie was drafted by Branch Rickey to play for the Los Angeles Dodgers and help integrate the world of Major League Baseball.

“Really? I’ve been to Bermuda. We went last April for spring vacation. I got the worst sunburn! So, are you from Portoriko?”

12.Read the passage from "Names/Nombres" by Julia Alvarez.
Our first few years in the States, though, ethnicity was not yet “in.” Those were the blond, blue-eyed, bobby-sock years of junior high and high school before the sixties ushered in peasant blouses, hoop earrings, serapes.

Randall knew every resident of the town, so he was taken aback when an unfamiliar face darkened the doorway of the general store. The stranger stepped inside, and the smile he offered was genuine. Randall noted that he grinned a bit more cheerfully than those who usually came in seeking feed or flour. “What can I do for you, sir?” he asked.
The man explained that he wanted for nothing but a bed; he said that he needed a good night’s rest before continuing on his way. He told Randall he was heading west to find his fortune in the bounty of the California hills. Though this was the first Randall had heard of such nonsense, it would not be the last. He directed the stranger two doors down to the inn, offering a stern reminder that the stranger would have to pay real money for a night’s stay.
