V. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passages and choose the correct answer (A, B,C or D) to each question.

Passage 1
Agriculture in the West and South of the United States has traditionally been supported by migrant
workers who migrate or move from area to area according to the crops that need harvesting. Many
Chinese, Filipino, and Mexican immigrants became migrant workers when they first arrived in the United
States. Often they had problems with the English language or skills that they could immediately use in the
new country.
A person looking objectively at the living conditions of these workers might say that their way of life
was little better than slavery. They were housed in substandard conditions, received wages far below the
minimum, and had no medical or insurance benefits. The migrant workers had no labor unions that could
bargain for better wages, better hours, or improved working conditions. They had no money and no power
with which to bargain with their employers. Employers were making fortunes by the sweat of their
workers’ brows. It took an idealistic, determined young man named Cesar Chavez to change the plight of
the migrant worker forever.
