In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand
Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese
noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of
political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from
service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of
Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W
longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to
prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519,
Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these
ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route
across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the
southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought
near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints,
but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were
privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained
crossed the meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of
1521 after ninety-eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea,
many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease.
Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was
killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of
the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and
thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge.
1.The sixteenth century was an age of great ___exploration.
A. cosmic B. land C. mental D. common man E. none of the above
2. Magellan lost the favor of the king of Portugal when he became involved in a political ___.
A. entanglement B. discussion C. negotiation D. problems E. none of the above
3. The Pope divided New World lands between Spain and Portugal according to their location on
one side or the other of an imaginary geographical line 50 degrees west of Greenwich that extends
in a ___ direction.
A. north and south B. crosswise C. easterly D. south east E. north and west

One day, a thirsty fox fell into a well as she was getting a drink of water. She could
not find a way to climb back up. After a short time, a thirsty goat came to the edge of
the well, and seeing the fox below him, he asked if the water was safe to drink.
Thinking quickly, the fox said the water was pure and delicious and suggested that
the goat come down to have a drink. The goat immediately jumped into the well.
After he had enough to drink, he asked the fox how he could get back up and out of
the well. The fox replied, "I have a plan. Put your front legs against the wall, and
hold your horns up. I will climb up your back, onto your horns, and then I will jump
out of the well. Once I'm out, I'll help you get out." The goat agreed, and the fox
quickly got out of the well. The goat called out to her: "Oh, Ms. Fox, you said you
would help me get out of the well." The fox called down to the goat, "Friend, if you
had half as many brains as you have hairs on your chin, you would not have jumped
into the well without first thinking about how you would get out."

Conflict had existed between Spain and England since the 1570s. England wanted a
share of the wealth that Spain had been taking from the lands it had claimed in the
Americas.
Elizabeth I, Queen of England, encouraged her staunch admiral of the navy, Sir
Francis Drake, to raid Spanish ships and towns. Though these raids were on a small
scale, Drake achieved dramatic success, adding gold and silver to England's treasury
and diminishing Spain's omnipotence.
Religious differences also caused conflict between the two countries. Whereas Spain
was Roman Catholic, most of England had become Protestant. King Philip II of
Spain wanted to claim the throne and make England a Catholic country again. To
satisfy his ambition and also to retaliate against England's theft of his gold and silver,
King Philip began to build his fleet of warships, the Armada, in January 1586.
Philip intended his fleet to be indestructible. In addition to building new warships, he
marshaled one hundred and thirty sailing vessels of all types and recruited more than
nineteen thousand robust soldiers and eight thousand sailors. Although some of his
ships lacked guns and others lacked ammunition, Philip was convinced that his
Armada could withstand any battle with England.
The martial Armada set sail from Lisbon, Portugal, on May 9,1588, but bad weather
forced it back to port. The voyage resumed on July 22 after the weather became more
stable.
The Spanish fleet met the smaller, faster, and more maneuverable English ships in
battle off the coast of Plymouth, England, first on July 31 and again on August 2. The
12

two battles left Spain vulnerable, having lost several ships and with its ammunition
depleted. On August 7, while the Armada lay at anchor on the French side of the
Strait of Dover, England sent eight burning ships into the midst of the Spanish fleet
to set it on fire. Blocked on one side, the Spanish ships could only drift away, their
crews in panic and disorder. Before the Armada could regroup, the English attacked
again on August 8
Although the Spaniards made a valiant effort to fight back, the fleet suffered
extensive damage. During the eight hours of battle, the Armada drifted perilously
close to the rocky coastline. At the moment when it seemed that the Spanish ships
would be driven onto the English shore, the wind shifted, and the Armada drifted out
into the North Sea. The Spaniards recognized the superiority of the English fleet and
returned home, defeated.

Shut it off, Steiner told himself, and the station wagon was silent. He had pulled
into the driveway without the reality of any of it registering, and now he turned to
his 9- year-old, James, in the seat beside him, and saw the boy's face take on the
expression of odd imbalance that Steiner had noticed for the first time this
afternoon.
Steiner got out and James bucked against his seat belt, so Steiner eased back in,
shoving the unruly hair off his forehead, and took hold of the wheel. He was so
used to James being out of the car and heading across the yard the second after he
stopped that he felt dazed. His 7-year-old twin daughters, who were in the rear of
the car with his wife, Jen, were whispering, and Steiner turned to them with a
look that meant "Silence!" Steiner got out again with a heaviness that made him
feel that his age, 45, was the beginning of old age, and that the remorse he'd
recently been feeling had a focus: it was a remorse that he and Jen hadn't had
more children.
As he was driving home, a twin had pulled herself forward from the backseat and

honked the horn while Steiner was in the department store, where he had gone to
look for a shatterproof, full-length mirror and an exercise mat the physical
therapist had recommended. And since James hadn't spoken for two weeks, the
incident had set the twins to whispering hopefully about James, for most of the
long trip.
"I'm sorry," Steiner said, seeing that he was still the only one outside the car, as if
he had to apologize for being on his feet. He slid back in, brushing aside his hair
again, and began to unbuckle James's seat belt. The boy stared out the windshield
with a look Steiner couldn't translate, and, once free, tried to scoot over to the
passenger door by bending his upper body forward and back.
"Take it easy, honey," Steiner said. Then, he added for the boy and the others, in
the phrase that he'd used since James was an infant, "Here we are home." Silence
Steiner turned to Jen, who was leaning close, and said, "Do you have his other
belt?" she nodded.
Steiner got out and looked across the top of the station, wagon at their aging
house. He hadn't seen it in two weeks. He'd spent that time at the hospital with
James, first in intensive care, then in a private room, where physical therapists
came and went. At the sight of the white siding that he and James and Jen had
scraped and repainted at the beginning of the summer, he had to swallow down
the loss that he'd started to feel when he realized he was grieving for a son he
might never see again.
The boy's hair was as unruly as Steiner's, and the curls at its edges needed
trimming. James's eyes were nearly covered by it, Steiner saw, and then they
rested on his father with a dull love.

Twas in the merry month of May When green leaves began swelling Young William
on his deathbed lay For love of Barbara Allen.
He sent his men down through the town To the place where she was dwelling "O
hurry to my master dear If you are Barbara Alien."
Line5 Slowly, slowly went she then To the place where William was lying And when she
saw him to him said, "Young man, I think you're dying."
He turned his face unto the wall And death with him was dealing "Good-bye,
goodbye, my dear friends all, Be kind to Barbara Allen."
Slowly, slowly rose she up, And slowly, slowly left him, And sighing said she could
10 not stay Since death from life had reft him
She had not gone a mile or two When she heard the death bell tolling And every
stroke the death bell sang "Oh woe to Barbara Allen."
"O mother, mother, make my bed! O make it soft and narrow. Since William died
for me today; I'll die for him tomorrow."

One of the most intriguing stories of the Russian Revolution concerns the
identity of Anastasia, the youngest daughter of Czar Nicholas II. During his
reign over Russia, the Czar had planned to revoke many of the harsh laws
established by previous czars. Some workers and peasants, however, clamored
for more rapid social reform. In 1918 a group of these people, known as
Bolsheviks, overthrew the government. On July 17 or 18, they murdered the
Czar and what was thought to be his entire family.
Although witnesses vouched that all the members of the Czar's family had been
executed, there were rumors suggesting that Anastasia had survived. Over the
years, a number of women claimed to be Grand Duchess Anastasia. Perhaps the
best nown claimant was Anastasia Tschaikovsky, who was also known as Anna
Anderson.
In 1920, eighteen months after the Czar's execution, this terrified young woman
was rescued from drowning in a Berlin river. She spent two years in a hospital,
where she attempted to reclaim her health and shattered mind. The doctors and
nurses thought that she resembled Anastasia and questioned heer about her
background. She disclaimed any connection with the Czar's family.
Eight years later, though, she claimed that she was Anastasia. She said that she
had been rescued by two Russian soldiers after the Czar and the rest of her
family had been killed. Two brothers named Tschaikovsky had carried her into
Romania. She had married one of the brothers, who had taken her to Berlin and
left her there, penniless and without a vocation. Unable to invoke the aid of her
mother's family in Germany, she had tried to drown herself.
During the next few years, scores of the Czar's relatives, ex-servants, and
acquaintances interviewed her. Many of these people said that her looks and
mannerisms were evocative of the Anastasia that they had known. Her
grandmother and other relatives denied that she was the real Anastasia, however.
Tried of being accused of fraud, Anastasia immigrated to the United States in
1928 and took the name Anna Anderson. She still wished to prove that she was
Anastasia, though, and returned to Germany in 1933 to bring suit against her
mother's family. There she declaimed to the court, asserting that she was indeed
Anastasia and deserved her inheritance
In 1957, the court decided that it could neither confirm nor deny Anastasia's
identity. Although we will probably never know whether this woman was the
Grand Duchess Anastasia, her search to establish her identity has been the
subject of numerous books, plays, and movies.

Harriet Tubman was a runaway slave from Maryland who became known as the
"Moses of her people." Over the course of 10 years, and at great personal risk, she
led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the Underground Railroad, a secret
network of safe houses where runaway slaves could stay on their journey north to
freedom. She later became a leader in the abolitionist movement, and during the
Civil War she was a spy for the federal forces in South Carolina as well as a
nurse.
Harriet Tubman's name at birth was Araminta Ross. She was one of 11 children of
Harriet and Benjamin Ross born into slavery in Dorchester County, Maryland. As
a child, Ross was "hired out" by her master as a nursemaid for a small baby. Ross
had to stay awake all night so that the baby wouldn't cry and wake the mother. If
Ross fell asleep, the baby's mother whipped her. From a very young age, Ross
was determined to gala her freedom.
As a slave, Araminta Ross was scarred for life when she refused to help in the
punishment of another young slave. A young man had gone to the store without
permission, and when he returned, the overseer wanted to whip him. He asked
Ross to help but she reused. When the young man started to run away, the
overseer picked up a heavy iron weight and threw it at him. He missed the young
man and hit Ross instead. The weight nearly crashed her skull and left a deep scar.
She was unconscious for days, and suffered from seizures for the rest of her life.
In 1844, Ross married a free black named John Tubman and took his last name.
She also changed her first name, taking her mother's name, Harriet. In 1849,
worried that she and the other slaves on the plantation were going to be sold,
Tubman decided to run away. Her husband refused to go with her, so she set out
with her two brothers, and followed the Noah Star in the sky to guide her north to
freedom. Her brothers became frightened and turned back, but she continued on
and reached Philadelphia there she found work as a household servant and saved
her money so she could return to help others escape.
