Passage Two The living conditions for the poor and for immigrants in New York City during the late nineteenth century were truly wretched. Over one and a half million poor people lived in tenements, a form of barracks-like building that could house some five hundred people in a structure lacking heat and plumbing. The resulting poverty, disease, and crime made tenement life degrading and often fatal. But almost as shocking as the city-conditioned horror of the tenements was the government's neglect of normal city functions. Real estate development was uncontrolled, resulting in factories, stores, and residents springing up randomly without consideration to zoning or building codes. Pollution of waterways was unrestricted, streets were poorly paved, lighting was inadequate, and sewage disposal was insufficient. But most of the wretched living conditions in the city must be attributed to the corrupt city government of the late nineteenth century. 14. Who suffered most from poor housing conditions in New York City? 15. Why were factories, stores, and residents built with little consideration for zoning or building codes? 16. Who or what was responsible for most of these living conditions?
Passage Three Your assignments this term will be to write two major research papers. One of the most important things about writing research paper is giving proper credit for your sources of information. Failure to do this is called plagiarism which is a form of intellectual dishonesty. Plagiarism is a kind of stealing or at least an unauthorized borrowing of someone else's ideas. Sometimes inexperienced students will plagiarize unintentionally, and then be surprised when the teacher won't accept their papers, or gives them a failing grade. The best way to avoid being an intentional plagiarizer is to be very careful in gathering your information. As you take notes on books and magazines articles about the topic you've selected, first try to assimilate the information thoroughly. secondly, write it down in your own words . This is called paraphrasing. If you do a good job of paraphrasing, you'll capture the main idea from your source without actually using any phrases from it. Most of your notes should probably be paraphrases. However, occasionally you may find something you wish to quote directly in your research paper. In this case, be sure that you copy quotation precisely in your notes and enclose it in quotation marks. That way when you're finalizing your research paper, you'll be able to remember which are of your own summaries of the material. You can then incorporate them appropriately and give the original author proper credit. 17. What kind of assignment does the speaker discuss with the students? 18. What does the speaker warn the students doing? 19. According to the speaker how should most of the notes be taken? 20. How does the speaker say a direct quotation should be used?
