READING SECTION

Chicago ranks as the leading industrial and urban center in North America. Carl Sandburg called it
the “City of the Big Shoulder” primarily because in the 1930s, its population contained a large segment of
industrial workers, the largest agricultural market, and huge Line airport. This poetic phrase, however,
does not do justice to the city’s outstanding array of cultural institutions, such as the symphony orchestra
and the museum of art and history.

The downtown business district on the shore of Lake Michigan is the hub fashionable and elegant
boutiques, quaint restaurant, and high-rise office building. Lake Shore Drive extends to both the north and
south ends of the city, making it one of the most spectacular roadways in the state of Illinois. The Old
Water Tower, dwarfed by the John Hancock Center, is the must-see landmark frequented by thousands
of tourist each year. Most of the Chicago lake front is public, with spectacular beaches and wide lawns
stretching along the shore line.

Throughout its history, Europeans streamed into the city in search of jobs in steel mills and
factories. The large influx of population created tensions in various neighborhoods, and in the 1920s,
Chicago gained a reputation for violence and crime that it never lived down. Nonetheless, the booming
industries continued to attracts new residents into the thriving city, despite its notoriety.

The Chicago metropolitan area has undergone dramatic changes since 1940s when suburban
population almost doubled, and the number of city residents fell. Today, most of the city ethnics enclaves
have faded away, but their rich heritage remains. The residents take pride in impressive churches and
blocks of homes constructed in early 20th century by industrious European immigrants who built the city.
More than 85% Chicagoans were born in United States, and access to Irish, Polish, Italian, and German
community institutions and businesses is not as important to them as it was to their grandparents. Italian
is no longer spoken in Little Italy, and Irish pubs have fewer Irish customers than those mixed, typically
American origins.

One of the most dangerous drug for pregnant women to consume is alcohol. Because alcohol is
delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the tissue and membranes, the human fetus is
particularly vulnerable to its effects. The reality is that the negative effects on fetus are so pronounced
that babies born after exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a
pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her bloodstream almost simultaneously.
Moreover, because the bloodstream of the fetus is inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol
passes directly into the bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol
in the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother.

For the mother, this concentration is not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of
alcohol from her system per hour. However, the fetus’s liver is not completely developed (how developed
TRY OUT 3 (22 Mei 2011)
it is depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the alcohol from the
blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be returned to the mother’s system by
passing across the placenta, but this process is slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological
damage may have already occurred.

While the bald eagle is one of the national symbol of the United States, it is not only the one.
Uncle Sam, a bearded gentleman costumed in the red, white, and blue stars and stripes of the nation’s
flag, is another well-known national symbol. According to legend, this character is based on Samuel
Wilson, the owner or a meat-packing business in Troy, New York. During the war of 1812, Sam Wilson’s
company was granted a government contract to supply meat to the nation’s soldiers; this meat was
supplied to the army in barrels stamped with the initials U.S., which stood for United States. However, the
country was at that time relatively young, and the initials U.S. were not commonly used. Many people
questioned what the initials represented, and the standard reply became ‘Uncle Sam,’ for the owner of
the barrels. It is now generally accepted that the figure of Uncle Sam is based on Samuel Wilson, and the
U.S. Congress has made it official by adopting a resolution naming Samuel Wilson as the inspiration for
the Uncle Sam.
