Cesar Chavez (1927-)
Cesar Chavez is an important minority group leader in the United States. Minorities
differ from the majority in race, religion, or national origin. One of the largest minority groups

in the United States is Hispanics. Hispanic means “Spanish” or “related to the people,
language, or culture of Mexico, Latin America, or Spain.” Chavez is Hispanic.

He is aMexican-American. His father owned a small farm in Yuma, Arizona. The farm failed andChavezʼs parents became migrant farm workers. Many Hispanic people are migrant farmworkers. After the farm failed, Chavez moved with his family from farm to farm across Arizona
and California. As a child, his life was hard. He attended more than 30 schools and_____________ had to drop out. Chavez wanted to help the migrant farm workers have a better
life. This is the reason he became their leader.
Migrant farm workers follow the crops. The work is very difficult. Their work begins
very early in the morning and goes until evening, lasting usually 12 to 14 hours. They walklong distances in the field, carry heavy loads, and work in the hot sun all day. They rest only
briefly at lunchtime. The work is very hard and they make very little money. Men, women,
and even small children work in the fields.
The living conditions for the workers were very bad. The workers lived in housing camps.
These were temporary houses provided by the landowners for the migrant farm workers.
The houses in the housing camps were small and extremely dirty. There was no electricity, so
the workers could not keep their food fresh, cook dinner, heat water, read at night, or listen
to the radio. There was no running water, so they could not cook their food, get a drink in the
middle of a hot day, or take a shower in the evening. Without running water, they could notwash their clothes or keep their homes clean. ______________, there was no sewer system.
They did not have toilets or any place to put their garbage. The housing camps became dirty.
They smelled terrible and attracted insects and disease. The housing camps were unsafe forhumans. Chavez wanted to change this for his people. He wanted the migrant workers to havebetter living conditions.
When Chavez was growing up, his mother taught him about nonviolence. She said that13

there cannot be a fight as long as one side will not fight. Chavez knew that he had to use
nonviolent techniques to help the migrant farm workers. How could he do this? He knew hehad to be able to understand the laws. Even though Chavez had only an 8th grade education,
he read books and learned the laws. He learned that many things the landowners did to farmworkers were illegal. These things had to be changed. He began meeting and talking with
angry farm workers.
By understanding the laws, Chavez was able to challenge the landowners. He helped thepeople get food, 著作権の都合により、公開できません
better housing, medical care, and legal aid. Legal aid is help from a lawyer orthe court so that you can get the things you are entitled to.

With Cesar Chavez as their leader, migrant farm workers and people who supported
them got together and marched. They wanted to show the landowners that they did not likethe way they were being treated. They marched for dignity, justice, and human rights. They

used peaceful marches to gain support for their cause. They called their movement La Causa.

La Causa means “The Cause” in Spanish. They wanted to get jobs. Jobs meant higher wages
or more money and a better life.
In 1962, Cesar Chavez helped the migrant farm workers organize a union called theUnited Farm Workers. A union is a group of people who join together for a common reason.
Unions help workers get better working conditions and wages. At first, the migrant farmworkers were afraid to join the union. They thought they would lose their jobs. Chavez
convinced them to join. The union grew steadily. When the farm workers decided to go on
strike, to stop working, the landowners got very angry. Some of the landowners were violent,and some farm workers were put in jail. But the workers did not stop trying to change things.
Chavez asked the union and supporters of the union for a boycott. He asked the people not tobuy the farm products. He also fasted for 25 days. When someone fasts, he or she goes without

food. He wanted to show his support for La Causa. These words became the slogan for thefight the migrant workers had for equal rights. Newspapers and television shows reported
Cesar Chavezʼs actions. Reporters were interested in his nonviolent techniques for changing
the conditions of farm workers.
Today, Cesar Chavez is still working to help his people. He believes in dignity, justice,and human rights for all people. He believes if people work together, they can improve theirlives.

For canine instructor Brent Heldt, every day has a noisy start as he stops to say hello toa half dozen or more beagles. When he walks through the dog housing unit at the National
Detector Dog Training Center in Orlando, Florida, the dogs bark and jump impatiently. They
canʼt wait for their chance to go outside for a training session and morning run with Heldt.
The first lucky dog is a beagle called Stockton. “Go on, go get it! Go get it!” says Heldt
as he throws a ball for the beagle. Stockton runs quickly across the training yard and races
back with the ball. However, Stockton wants to have a little fun and he runs right past thewaiting Heldt. The trainer laughs as the dog runs around him and keeps the ball away fromhim. Later he and Stockton will be working hard, but first, itʼs play time. Itʼs because of these
little signs of personality that Heldt sincerely enjoys working with the dogs. “Their
personalities are all very different,” he explains. “Thatʼs what makes this job so cool. I mean,
every time I train these guys, I learn something different.”
Later that day, Heldt puts Stockton in a truck to go to work. No, itʼs not to go to Heldtʼsjob, itʼs to go to Stocktonʼs! Stockton is training to become a detector dog so he can work at
the international airports around the United States. Detector dogs use their famous noses tosniff for goods which shouldnʼt come into the country.
Airport detector dogs often wear green jackets to indicate that they are on the job. They
then patrol the airport and smell suitcases for foods like citrus fruits, mangoes, and apples that
may carry fruit flies and other pests. They also sniff for meat products that may carry diseases,
such as the dangerous and highly infectious *hoof-and-mouth disease. The dogs must learn
how to do this without bothering the passengers who are bringing home safe and legal gifts
for their friends and family. Thatʼs why the dogs must first learn how to ʻsniff out,ʼ ―or ﬁnd
and signal―illegal imports in the airport baggage claim area. This is where the National
Detector Dog Training Center comes in.
At the Training Center the dogs start slowly and simply by first investigating boxes that
contain various items. Heldt explains how it works: “What we have got here is a target box,”
he says as he opens one of the boxes. “Itʼs called ʻmixed,ʼ” he explains, “The reason I call itʻmixedʼ is because thatʼs exactly what it is. Itʼs mixed odor.” He then picks up some of theitems in the box and explains what they are, “We have some beef jerky so I have the beef odor.
I have an apple odor. I have a citrus odor, and I have a mango odor.” Stockton begins his
training and must first practice finding certain scents like these in a room full of target boxes.
After the boxes, Stockton graduates to working with carry-ons and soft-sided bags. He
runs around a group of bags with his nose to the ground as he tries to sniff out the target
scents. Then, Stockton moves on to the really difficult challenge―finding specific odors in
6

8

the larger, hard suitcases. Stockton must also learn to behave when he finds a target scent. He
must learn to sit down on or near any bag that contains a smell that could possibly be trouble.
“Thatʼs a good boy,” Heldt says to the beagle ____________ when Stockton finds the meat
scent and sits down.

A) RaceB) WorkC) JumpD) Play
12. Which of the following best fits the blank in paragraph 6, line 6?
A) interestinglyB) encouraginglyC) respectivelyD) consciously

certified and was trained in first aid techniques. I also assisted in providing
swimming lessons for children aged 3-13.

today is Marci DeLaurenti. Marci has picked a few apps that people can download
to make business travel easier. Marci, welcome.
Marci:

Hi, Chuck. Thanks for having me.

Chuck: Marci, you spend a lot of time on the road. What are some apps that make your life
more convenient?
Marci:

Iʼve got three today, Chuck. The first app is about finding a good place to sleep.
When I travel, I need quiet, but I also like interesting hotels. Most hotel apps are forordinary hotels, but a free app called Comfy is different. Comfy can answer questions
to find hotels that fit my needs. ________________, sometimes I might choose anarchitecturally interesting hotel to make a good impression on clients.

Chuck: That sound very useful!
Marci:

Once I stayed in a hotel on a boat. I had to take a water taxi to get to my room!

Chuck: So that app is called Comfy then.
Marci:

Yes, and itʼs free!

Chuck: Whatʼs the next app, Marci?
Marci:My next app is called TranZ, thatʼs capital T-R-A-N-capital Z. TranZ.

Chuck: What does TranZ mean?
Marci:

TranZ stands for translator. Itʼs a translation app, which is, of course, very useful fordoing international business. TranZ can translate phrases and sentences. I
sometimes have to try several times in order to get the right phrase, but I expect theapp to get better with time.
Chuck: Is it free?
Marci:

No. Producing an app like this takes a lot of work. TranZ costs $10.00, which is a lot
for an app, but itʼs worth it, even if you are just going to use it for checking into a
hotel on a family vacation.

Chuck: And your third app?
Marci:My third app is a new one. The B-Fit is a personal trainer that I can take anywhere.
It has hundreds of fitness programs you can browse and choose from, so I can use it
for changing my workout when I canʼt go to the gym. Pictures show the exercises
while a real human voice helps me keep trying. Best of all is the cost: absolutely free!
