Carson’s first book, Under the Sea Wind, was published in 1941. It received excellent reviews, but sales were poor until it was reissued in 1952. In that year she published The Sea Around Us, which provided a fascinating look beneath the ocean’s surface, emphasizing human history as well as geology and marine biology. Her imagery and language had a poetic quality. Carson consulted no less than 1,000 printed sources. She had voluminous correspondence and frequent discussions with experts in the field. However, she always realized the limitations of her non-technical readers.
In 1962 Carson published Silent Spring, a book that sparked considerable controversy. It proved how much harm was done by the uncontrolled, irresponsible use of insecticides. She detailed how they poison the food supply of animals, kill birds and fish, and contaminate human food. At the time, spokesmen for the chemical industry fomented personal attacks against Carson and issued propaganda to indicate that her findings were flawed. However, her work was vindicated by a 1963 report of the President’s Science Advisory Committee. 73. The passage mainly discusses Rachel Carson’s work _____.

Black leaders called for a one-day boycott of Montgomery buses. On December 5, 1955, 90 percent of the black community stayed off the buses. That same evening, the Montgomery Improvement Association was established to extend the boycott and to organize demonstrations. A young pastor, Martin Luther King, Jr., was elected as the association’s president.
The boycott met with strong opposition from whites who wanted to maintain their privileged position within the oppressive system. Blacks waiting for rides were arrested for hitchhiking. Black taxi drivers were penalized for offering low fares to black riders. On January 30, a bomb was thrown onto the porch of King’s home.
Despite the opposition, the boycott did not break. United under King’s leadership, the black community stood up for itself. The boycott lasted for 381 days. On November 13, 1956, the United States Supreme Court declared segregation on buses to be unconstitutional. Blacks were now free to sit wherever they chose.
