MICKEY MANTLE
Mickey Mantle was one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played for the New York Yankees
in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally in 1951 to his last year in 1968,
baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For many people, Mantle symbolized the hope,
prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.
Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both right-handed and left-handed.
He won game after game, one World Series championship after another, for his team. He was a wonderful
athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s fascination with him.
Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor miner from
OklahomA. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success and fame, was a fairy-tale
version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America always loves a “natural”: a person who wins
without seeming to try, whose talent appears to come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.
But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He played without
complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s dreams and drank to forget his
father’s early death.
It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the liver and
accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away from his old life and
warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process could not be stopped. Despite a liver
transplant operation that had all those who loved and admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of
cancer at the age of 63.

In an effort to produce the largest, fastest, and most luxurious ship afloat, the British built the Titanic. It was so
superior to anything else on the seas that it was dubbed “unsinkable”. So sure of this were the owners that they
provided only twenty lifeboats and rafts, less than one half the number needed for the 2,227 passengers on board.
Many passengers were aboard the night it rammed an iceberg, only two days at sea and more than half
way between England and the New York destination. Because the luxury liner was traveling so fast, it was
impossible to avoid the ghostly looking iceberg. An unextinguished fire also contributed to the ship's submersion.
Panic increased the number of casualties as people jumped into the icy water or fought to be among the few to
board the lifeboats. Four hours after the mishap, another ship, the Carpathia, rescued the 705 survivors. The
infamous Titanic enjoyed only two days of sailing glory on its maiden voyage in 1912 before plunging into
12,000 feet of water near the coast of Newfoundland, where it lies today.
Question 43: Which of the following did NOT contribute to the large death toll?
