ENGL-3 Unit 19 Assessment Exam not valid for Paper Pencil Test Sessions [Exam ID:2LGR1V Read the following passage and answer questions 1 through 1. A Magnet Mystery 1 I have always found magnets interesting. My bulletin board has magnets all over it. I own a journal that closes with a magnetic clasp. Now I have discovered how to make a magnet out of an ordinary nail. It sounds impossible, but anyone can get the same results! 2 In its simplest form, a magnet is a metal object that can get a few other kinds of metal to stick to it. If you hold a metal paper clip near a magnet, you can feel how the magnet pulls at, or attracts, the clip. 3 To make a magnet, I needed a magnet. So I searched for the largest, strongest one I could find. I also got an iron nail. No other metal can be magnetized as strongly as iron. Nonmetallic materials such as wood can t be magnetized at all. I stroked the nail across the magnet in the same direction about 30 times. When I touched the nail to the paper clip, it attracted the clip. The nail had become a magnet. 4 The secret behind magnetism is that everything is made up of pieces called atoms. Atoms are too tiny to see even with a regular microscope. Most atoms spin, and this spinning creates a small force. In an object such as an eraser, the atoms spin every which way. So you don t feel any force outside the object. But when an object is magnetized, the atoms all spin in the same direction. All the small forces add up to create a powerful force. When you slide a nail across the magnet again and again, you are lining up all the nail s atoms to spin in the same direction. This magnetizes the nail. 5 A magnet you make from a nail won t last long, though. You have to keep recharging it by stroking it on the real magnet. A rock called magnetite is the only permanent magnet. This rock has a special kind of iron in it.

It is about the beginning of America. 2 Many people helped build America. Thousands of men traveled from England, France, Spain, and other parts of Europe to live in the newly discovered land. These men wandered the countryside looking for places to settle. They took risks and had hard times. Sometimes they fought with the Native American Indians. Many men were killed. 3 Some men came together to build towns and communities. Sometimes, things happened that prevented their success. Often the men grew homesick or were too lazy to work. The Indians were angry that the men took their land. They called the white men "pale faces." Some Indians scalped and slayed the settlers with their tomahawks. Many of the men died. 4 In time, many of the colonies did succeed. Little towns began to appear up and down the sea coast. 5 In 1535, men sailed from France to Florida. They built a town and two forts. They lived there and were happy and prosperous. But one day, Spanish vessels sailed to their settlement. The men aboard the ship said that the land was theirs because they had been there first. The Spanish took over the French settlement. They built a town and a fort for themselves. They named the town St. Augustine. 6 In 1607, men from England settled on the coast of Virginia. They wanted to start a colony. The men sailed up a river and found a good location for their new home.

The Princess and the Pea by Hans Christian Andersen 1 There was once a prince, and he wanted a princess, but then she must be a real Princess. He traveled right around the world to find one, but there was always something wrong. There were plenty of princesses, but whether they were real princesses he had great difficulty in discovering; there was always something which was not quite right about them. So at last he had come home again, and he was very sad because he wanted a real princess so badly. 2 One evening there was a terrible storm; it thundered and lightninged and the rain poured down in torrents; indeed it was a fearful night. 3 In the middle of the storm somebody knocked at the town gate, and the old king himself went to open it. 4 It was a princess who stood outside, but she was in a terrible state from the rain and the storm. The water streamed out of her hair and her clothes; it ran in at the top of her shoes and out at the heel, but she said that she was a real princess. 5 "Well we shall soon see if that is true," thought the old queen, but she said nothing. She went into the bedroom, took all the bed clothes off and laid a pea on the bedstead. Then she took twenty mattresses and piled them on top of the pea, and then twenty feather beds on top of the mattresses. This was where the princess was to sleep that night. In the morning they asked her how she slept. 6 "Oh, terribly bad!" said the princess. "I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to be lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!" 7 They saw at once that she must be a real princess when she had felt the pea through twenty mattresses and twenty feather beds. Nobody but a real princess could have such delicate skin. 8 So the prince took her to be his wife, for now he was sure that he had found a real princess, and the pea was put into the museum, where it may still be seen if no one has stolen it.
