Edward Patrick Eagan was born April 26, 1897, in Denver, Colorado, and his father died in a railroad
accident when Eagan was only a year old. He and his four brothers were raised by his mother, who earned a
small income from teaching foreign languages. Inspired by Frank Merriwell, the hero of a series of popular
novels for boys, Eagan pursued an education for himself as well as an interest in boxing. He attended the
University of Denver for a year before serving in the U.S. Army as an artillery lieutenant during World War
I. After the war, he entered Yale University and, while studying there, won the U.S. national amateur
heavyweight boxing title. He graduated from Yale in 1921, attended Harvard Law School, and received a
Rhodes scholarship to the University of Oxford where he received his A.M. in 1928.
While studying at Oxford, Eagan became the first American to win the British amateur boxing
championship. Eagan won his first Olympic gold medal as a light heavyweight boxer at the 1920 Olympic
Games in Antwerp, Belgium. Eagan also fought at the 1924 Olympics in Paris as a heavyweight but failed to
get a medal. Though he had taken up the sport just three weeks before the competition, he managed to win a
second gold medal as a member of the fourman bobsled team at the 1932 Olympics in Lake Placid, New
York. Thus, he became the only athlete to win gold medals at both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Eagan
was a member of the first group of athletes inducted into the U.S. Olympic Hall of Fame in 1983. Eagan
became a respected attorney, serving as an assistant district attorney for southern New York and as chairman

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
Tomatoes are probably the most popular garden vegetable grown in the United States. This can be
attributed to their unique flavor, attractiveness, richness as a source of vitamins C and A, and versatility as
a food. The popularity of peppers as a garden plant can be attributed to the same factors, although they are
usually not consumed in large enough quantities to make them an important nutritional factor in the diet.
The cultivated tomato originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It are usually not consumed
in large enough quantities to make them an important nutritional factor in the diet. The cultivated tomato
originated in the Andes mountains of South America. It was introduced to other areas of the world by
Indians and European travelers. Its seeds were taken to Europe, where a superstition soon arose that the
tomato stimulated love. Because of this, the tomato was called the "love apple". The first report of the
tomato in North America was in 1710, where it was grown primarily as an ornamental plant. Early colonists
brought the seeds to Virginia and grew tomatoes in flower gardens.
Tomatoes, actually a fruit that is used as a vegetable, began gaining wide acceptance as a food plant in the
United States between 1820 and 1850. Modern plant growers have done much to improve the tomato and to
add to its usefulness. Its productivity has been doubled, and varieties with larger, smoother, more even
shapes and meatier pulps have been developed. The tomato is the leading crop canned in the Unites States
today.
Peppers are also native to America and were grown by American Indian tribes in both North and South
America over 2,000 years ago. The small red hot peppers were discovered by Columbus in the West Indies
and introduced into Europe, where they became popular before gaining widespread acceptance in the United
States. Peppers became one of the first New World foods used commercially in Europe. Botanists class the
fruit of the bush-type garden pepper as a berry. Although most varieties of peppers produce red fruits (which
are green in their immature stage), there are some yellow-fruited varieties, and peppers are of both mild and
pungent types. Peppers enjoy warm climates, and young plants can be injured by frosts. Seasonings such as
paprika and chili powder and food products such as canned pimentos are commercial uses of garden peppers
that are grown in the United States today.
The familiar spice black pepper known in households throughout the world is the product of a trailing or
climbing shrub grown in Indonesia and other hot countries. The islands of Java and Madura furnish most of
the black pepper used in American homes. The United States buys almost 25,000 tons of this spice annually.
