the memory strengthens as you lay burdens upon it." If,

"I'll listen carefully; I'll repeat each person's name to be

effective this technique is and probably recall those names
for the rest of your life.

on March 4, 1933. At the time, the government did not
systematically collect statistics of joblessness; actually it did
not start doing so until 1940. The Bureau of Labor Statistics
later estimated that 12,830,000 persons were out of work in
1933, about one-fourth of a civilian labor force of more than
51 million. Roosevelt signed the Federal Emergency Relief Act on May 12, 1933. The president selected Harry L. Hopkins, who headed the New York relief program, to run FERA. A gifted administrator, Hopkins quickly put the program into high gear. He gathered a small staff in Washington and brought the state relief organizations into the FERA system. While the agency tried to provide all the necessities, food came first. City dwellers usually got an allowance for fuel, and rent for one month was provided in case o - CORRECT ANSWER D

Many people have owned, or have heard of, traditional
"piggy banks," coin banks shaped like pigs. A logical theory
about how this tradition started might be that because pigs
often symbolize greed, the object is to "fatten" one's piggy
bank with as much money as possible.
However, while this idea makes sense, it is not the correct
origin of the term. The genesis of the piggy bank is the old
English word "pygg," which was a common kind of clay
hundreds of years ago in England. People used pots and jars made out of this red "pygg" clay for many different purposes in their homes. Sometimes they kept their money in one of the pots, and this was known as a pygg bank. Over the years, because "pygg" and "pig" sounded the same, glaziers began making novelty banks out of pottery in the shape of a pig as a kind of joke. These banks were given as gifts and exported to countries where people spoke other languages and where no on - CORRECT ANSWER C

Samuel Morse, best known today as the inventor of
Morse Code and one of the inventors of the telegraph,
was originally a prominent painter. While he was always

in college, Morse went to Paris to learn from famous artists

in museums, including a portrait of former President John
Adams. In 1825, Morse was in Washington, D.C., painting
a portrait of the Marquis de Lafayette when a messenger
arrived on horseback to tell him that his wife was gravely
ill back at his home in Connecticut. The message had taken
several days to reach him because of the distance. Morse
rushed to his home as fast as he could, but his wife had
already passed away by the time he arrived. Grief-stricken,
he gave up painting and devoted the rest of his life to finding ways to transmit messages over long distances faster.
