They might enjoy traveling through forests of towering, ancient redwoods venturing on hikes deep in the shadowy woods, or trekking along the edges of snow-capped mountains. However, if travelers are the kind of people who like to let their imaginations run wild, they might want to visit an area that defies the laws of gravity.

2. It may sound fantastical, but just outside of Santa Cruz, California, not far from the Pacific Ocean, is an area called the Mystery Spot. This mystifying place is nestled in a canyon on the side of a hill. The spot, which is no larger than 150 feet in diameter, seems to defy all natural laws.

Discovery of the Mystery Spot

3. The amazing qualities of this location were first reported by the people who own and operate the Mystery Spot. The owners say that the mysterious properties of this location were first discovered in 1939, when the land was benign surveyed for purchase. While the surveyor was doing his job, his compass began to fluctuate wildly. This fluctuation was completely abnormal, and the surveyor could not obtain an accurate reading. Although he and his workers were confused, they blamed the variance on underground minerals or the possibility of barbed wire being buried nearby.

Read this excerpt from I Never Had It Made.

Winning his directors' approval was almost insignificant in contrast to the task which now lay ahead of the Dodger president. He made certain that word of his plans did not leak out, particularly to the press. Next, he had to find the ideal player for his project, which came to be called "Rickey's noble experiment." This player had to be one who could take abuse, name-calling, rejection by fans and sportswriters and by fellow players not only on opposing teams but on his own. He had to be able to stand up in the face of merciless persecution and not retaliate.

On the other hand, he had to be a contradiction in human terms; he still had to have spirit. He could not be an Uncle Tom. His ability to turn the other cheek had to be predicated on his determination to gain acceptance. Once having proven his ability as player, teammate, and man, he had to be able to cast off humbleness and stand up as a full-fledged participant whose triumph did not carry the poison of bitterness.

Which is the central idea of this excerpt?

Rickey is frustrated with the cruel treatment of his players.
Rickey needs a strong man of purpose to represent integration.
Rickey hopes to find a player willing to fight members of the press.
Rickey wants to interview athletes to assess their personalities.

Here further up the mountain slope
Than there was ever any hope,
My father built, enclosed a spring,
Strung chains of wall round everything,
Subdued the growth of earth to grass,
And brought our various lives to pass.
A dozen girls and boys we were.
The mountain seemed to like the stir,
And made of us a little while–
With always something in her smile.
Today she wouldn't know our name.
(No girl's, of course, has stayed the same.)
The mountain pushed us off her knees.
And now her lap is full of trees.
