Colin Powell Test Review

Colin Powell was born

• on a country estate in New York

• In New York City's Harlem District

• on the island of Jamaica

• in Hunts Point in the Bronx

In It Worked for Me, one lesson Colin Powell wants to teach is

• Try to own a company

• Never do more than one job at a time

• Always do you very best

• Don't worry about the future

Powell learned his habit of working hard from

• his Jamaican Immigrant parents

• his teammates at school

• getting a union card when he was eighteen

• driving a truck in New York City

Which of these is NOT something Powell believes about work?

• Every job is a learning experience

• If you take the pay, earn it

• Don't disappoint yourself

• You just always approve of what your boss wants you to do

In Colin Powell, which detail supports the idea that Powell had "a mild interest in the military"?

• In high school, he closely followed the events of the Korean War

• His parents expected his to go to college

• He enrolled in the engineering program at City College

• He had no intention of making the army a career

In Colin Powell, the quotation, "It was just the way they lived their lives," supports the idea that

• Colin was not a great student

• Colin's parents came from Jamaica

• Colin's parents led by example

• Colin's parents didn't expect much from their children

Both the memoir and the biography

• focus mostly on Powell's family life

• help explain the kind of person Powell is

• emphasize the effect school had on Powell

• describe life in the military

A prestigious job

• is the hardest job to do

• involves managing many people

• has a high level of respect from people

• is the easiest job to do

If you have perseverance you

• always finishe our work early

• stay focused on your goals

• believe your ideas are the best ideas

• listen carefully to important people

A priority is

• a goal that is the same for everyone

• something all people want to achieve

• the weakest idea in a set of ideas

• the thing that is most important to someone
