| The Passage from the Gray Oral Reading Test - 4
The era of the cowboy came to an end as a result of changes in the cattle business. When cows roamed the vast ranges of the Southwest, the herd could not be rounded up without skilled riders on horseback. But with the invention of barbed wire, great stretches of ranchland were fenced into smaller ranches. Then the roundup was no longer a major event and cowboys became less important. The long trail drives to the north, in which the cowboyıs skill at herding cattle was essential, also became a thing of the past. With the coming of the railroad, cattle could be shipped directly to market. |

| The Passage from the Gray Oral Reading Test - 4
Many American farm workers have been aided by the efforts of a shy, patient man named Cesar Chavez. As a youth, Cesar traveled from one farm to another picking crops as they ripened. Since his family had no permanent home, Cesar had attended thirty-seven different schools by the time he reached the seventh grade. As he grew older, he became increasingly concerned about the poverty and suffering of the farm workers. He began speaking to groups of workers about their need for safer housing and better health care. He convinced the grape pickers in California to join together and strike for better pay and working conditions. A strong believer in nonviolence, he led many peaceful protest marches and organized the first successful farm workersı union in the United States. |
