burdens upon it." If, like most people, you have trouble recalling the names of those you have
just met, try this: The next time you are introduced, plan to remember the names. Say to
yourself, "I'll listen carefully; I'll repeat each person's name to be sure I've got it, and I will
remember." You'll discover how effective this technique is and probably recall those names for
the rest of your life.

2. Unemployment was the overriding fact of life when Franklin D. Roosevelt became president

collect statistics of joblessness; actually it did not start doing so until 1940. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics later estimated that 12,830,000 persons were out of work in 1933, about one-fourth of
a civilian labor force of more than 51 million. Roosevelt signed the Federal Emergency Relief Act

Historically, women have achieved greater equality with men during periods of social adversity.
The following factors initiated the greatest number of improvements for women: violent
revolution, world war, and the rigors of pioneering in an undeveloped land. In all three cases,
the essential element that improved the status
of women was a shortage of men, which required women to perform many of society's vital
tasks.

A. women today are highly successful in winning equal rights
B. only pioneer women have been considered equal to men
C. historically, women have only achieved equality
through force
D. historically, the principle of equality alone has not been enough to secure women equal
rights

6. Many people have owned, or have heard of, traditional "piggy banks," coin banks shaped like
pigs. A logical theory about how this tradition started might be that because pigs often
symbolize greed, the object is to "fatten" one's piggy bank with as much money as possible.
However, while this idea makes sense, it is not the correct origin of the term. The genesis of the
piggy bank is the old English word "pygg," which was a common kind of clay hundreds of years
ago in England. People used pots and jars made out of this red "pygg" clay for many different
purposes in their homes. Sometimes they kept their money in one of
the pots, and this was known as a pygg bank. Over the years, because "pygg" and "pig" sounded
the same, glaziers began making novelty banks out of pottery in the shape of a pig as a kind of
joke. These banks were given as gifts and exported to countries where people spoke other
languages and where no

8. Samuel Morse, best known today as the inventor of Morse Code and one of the inventors of
the telegraph, was originally a prominent painter. While he was always interested in technology
and studied electrical engineering in college, Morse went to Paris to learn from famous artists of
his day and later painted many pictures that now hang in museums, including a portrait of
former President John Adams. In 1825, Morse was in Washington, D.C., painting a portrait of the
Marquis de Lafayette when a messenger arrived on horseback to tell him that his wife was
gravely ill back at his home in Connecticut. The message had taken several days to reach him
because of the distance. Morse rushed to his home as fast as he could, but his wife had already
passed away by the time he arrived. Grief-stricken, he gave up painting and devoted the rest of
his life to finding ways to transmit messages over long distances faster.

botanist, a writer, and an inventor. Even though most of his inventions were not actually built in
his lifetime, many of today's modern machines can be traced back to some of his original
designs. The parachute, the military tank, the bicycle, and even the airplane were foretold in the
