About the FBI

Have you ever wanted to work for the FBI? Here is a little history on the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The FBI started in 1908. It was known as the Bureau of Investigation then. On July 26, 1908, the Attorney General selected ten Special Agents of the Bureau of Investigation. They were called the Special Agent Task Force. In 1933, the Bureau’s name was changed to the Division of Investigation. It was changed again in 1935 to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It is known as that today.
All agents carry a special wallet that has their picture in it. They use this wallet to identify themselves to people when they are working. It is called a credential. There are two different kinds of credentials. They change depending on which division in the FBI you work in and your rank as an agent.
The FBI has changed what they investigate as the times have changed. In 1908, there were different crimes than the crimes that exist today. Also, there were fewer types of crimes than today. A good example of this is car theft. In 1908, almost no one had a car. As more people bought cars, the number of car thefts increased.
Many years ago, the FBI investigated crimes like bank robbery, kidnapping, and car thefts that go across state lines. Today, there are over 350 violations of the law that the FBI investigates. The different violations are broken down into several categories. The FBI looks into violent crime, organized crime, white collar crime, terrorism, foreign counterintelligence, civil rights, and applicant matters.
The FBI has many ways of solving those crimes and finding the criminals. One of them is through fingerprint identification. Fingerprints are a great way to tell people apart because everyone’s fingerprints are unique. This means that no two people in the world have the same fingerprints! Other ways of identifying people, like hair color, height, and weight, may change as a person gets older. Fingerprints stay the same no matter what.
There are over 250 million sets of fingerprint records on file. If all the fingerprint cards on file were stacked on top of one another, they would equal 133 stacks, each the size of the Empire State Building! Finding space to keep all of these fingerprint cards is difficult. This is one of the reasons the FBI is now putting cards in a digital format. That means the images can be stored on computers. All fingerprint cards at the FBI are eight-inch squares, a little smaller than a piece of notebook paper, and are thinner than a piece of cardboard. The FBI gets over 37,000 of these fingerprint cards every day, seven days a week! 32% of these cards now come to the FBI as digital images.
Not all fingerprint cards on file are of criminals. Some records are civil prints. Civil prints are taken of people who work for the government or apply for a job with the government.

Read these lines from Robert Frost’s "The Road Not Taken.”

And be one traveler, long I stood

To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair

On July 4, 1939, Lou Gehrig gave one of the most famous speeches in sports history. The occasion was "Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day" at Yankee Stadium in New York. Parts of the speech are well known to this day: "Fans, for the past two weeks you have been reading about the bad break I got. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." The audio recording of his voice echoing throughout the stadium has been replayed countless times.
The "bad break" Gehrig alluded to in his speech was his contraction of a fatal disease known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or ALS. ALS is a neuromuscular disease that attacks nerve cells in the central nervous system, causing paralysis and eventually death. No one knows what causes ALS, and nearly 30,000 people in the United States live with the disease. Because of Gehrig's extreme celebrity and the tragedy of his death, ALS is commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Before the symptoms of ALS began causing problems for Gehrig, he was one of the greatest baseball players in history. Known as "The Iron Horse" because of his durability, Gehrig played in 2,130 straight games without an absence. The streak was cut short by Gehrig's retirement due to ALS. The streak of 2,130 consecutive games stood for 56 years until it was broken by Cal Ripken, Jr. in 1995. Sixty years after he retired, fans made him the leading vote-getter for the Major League Baseball All-Century Team.
Over 70 years later, what many remember about Gehrig is his humbleness. He always recognized that he was, in his own words, "the luckiest man on the face of the earth." He had been given extraordinary athletic ability and played on one of the greatest baseball teams in history. He had loving, supportive parents and a wife of tremendous bravery. He was able to do what he loved most, play baseball, for 16 seasons. Though he died only two short years after his disease was diagnosed, Gehrig will long be remembered.
This article is mostly about
A.
Lou Gehrig's spectacular baseball career with the Yankees.
B.
Lou Gehrig and a speech he gave over 70 years ago.
C.
Lou Gehrig's disease, what causes it, and how it affects people.
D.

Read the excerpt from Immigrant Kids by Russell
Freedman
Which is an example of paraphrasing the excerpt?
Immigrants usually crossed the Atlantic as steerage
passengers. Reached by steep, slippery stairways, the
steerage lay deep down in the hold of the ship. It was
occupied by passengers paying the lowest fare.
Men, women, and children were packed into dark, foul-
smelling compartments. They slept in narrow punks
stacked three high. They had no showers, no lounges,
and no dining rooms. Food served from huge kettles
was dished into dinner pails provided by the steamship
company. Because steerage conditions were crowded
and uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck.
The voyage was an ordeal, but it was worth it. They
Yere on their way to America.
"Because steerage conditions were crowded and
uncomfortable, passengers spent as much time as
possible up on deck."
O Freedman writes that the long trip "was an ordeal,
but it was worth it. They were on their way to
America."
O The travel conditions on immigrant ships were very
poor. People had no room to sleep comfortably, the
food was not good, and there was no way to keep
clean
O One author describes the immigrant voyage this
way: "the steerage lay deep down in the hold of the
ship. It was occupied by passengers paying the
lowest fare."

Read this excerpt from "The Spirit of Alcatraz."

Protest leaders say the occupation led to new federal laws that recognized American Indian tribes and gave them more control over their daily lives. Additionally, the government decided to drop its plan to sell Alcatraz to developers. Today, the island is a National Historic Landmark that sees more than a million visitors each year.

But activists say their most important accomplishment was changing the way American Indians looked at themselves. As activist John Trudell puts it, "Alcatraz put me back into my community and helped me remember who I am. It was a rekindling of the spirit.”

Which statement best describes the author’s viewpoint?

Time spent on Alcatraz Island was wasted, because the demands of the American Indians were not met.
It was a dangerous mistake to spend so much time on Alcatraz Island, and it damaged the landmark.
American Indians influenced the US government and raised the spirit of their community by occupying Alcatraz.
Alcatraz Island is an important landmark that can best be handled by government officials.
