Passage B
The Indian residents on the cliffs of Arizona were joined by a number of extended family groups who regathered around the Black Mesa. These groups would blend and become known as the Hopi Indians. Each of the family histories is traced through the mother's side of the family. These groups have diverse origins but know each other from hundreds of years of trade. They all practiced agriculture for a thousand years. Marrying outside of one's own clan was encouraged. This resulted in an acceptance of newcomers.
The Hopi's recognized clans that were made up of people with similar traditions. Clans are much larger than groupings and include families who claim to be closely related. The clans are named for important characteristics of the Hopi world. The names of the clans include animals and birds and also diverse objects such as Deep and Shallow Wells, the Clouds, Fog and Fire, Corn, and many other environmental elements, plants, and foods. Business corporations and government are the responsibility of the clans. The clan's first duties are to its members and then to the Hopi nation. The Black Bear clan has supreme importance in the Hopi nation. Clan structure governs almost every facet of the Hopi religion and life.

Passage C
The Golden Gate Bridge was completed after more than four years of construction at a cost of 35 million dollars. It opened to traffic on May 28, 1937, at noon, ahead of schedule and under budget, when President Franklin Roosevelt pressed a telegraph key announcing the event. The Golden Gate Bridge's 4,200-foot-long main suspension span was a world record that stood for twenty-seven years. The bridge's two towers rise 746 feet, making them 191 feet taller than the Washington Monument. The towers that support the bridge's suspension cables are smaller at the top than at the base, emphasizing the tower height of 500 feet above the five-lane roadway. Linking San Francisco with Marin County, the 1.7-mile-long suspension bridge can be crossed by car, on bicycle, or on foot.
Joseph Baerman Strauss had a dream of building a bridge across the Golden Gate Strait, which is almost 400 feet deep. Though Strauss lived only a year beyond completion of construction, he disproved the conventional wisdom of the time that no one could bridge the strait because of insurmountable difficulties. Fort Point, at the south end of the bridge, was designated a national historic monument in 1970. Fort Point was built out of brick between 1853–1861 at the beginning of the Civil War. The historic fort was used as a base of operations for building the Golden Gate Bridge.
The Brooklyn Bridge, completed fifty-four years earlier, in 1883, and designed by wire-rope-patentholder John A. Roebling, was the first famous suspension bridge. It helped to define and add fame to New York City in much the same way that the Golden Gate Bridge has for San Francisco.
