The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French.
France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio, River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.
The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus, most of North America today has the English culture and language.

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Your passport is your official identification as an American citizen. In America,most people never consider obtaining a passport unless they are planning a trip out of the country. In Europe, where travel from one country to another is much more common,almost everyone carries a passport. A passport is final proof of identity in almost every country in the world.
In 1979 almost 15 million Americans held passports. Most of these passports were obtained to travel outside the country because,except for a few Western nations。passports are required to enter every country. And if you travel abroad,you must have a valid passport to reenter the country.
When traveling abroad,you will need a passport for identification when exchanging dollars for francs or marks or other foreign currency. You may also need your passport to use a credit card,buy an airplane ticket or check into a hotel. As a passport is an official U. S. document. it is valuable as identification in any emergency cases,such as floods,fires,or war.
Don't confuse passports and visas. Whereas a passport is issued by a country to its citizens. a visa is official permission to visit a country granted by the government of that country. For some years,many countries were dropping their visa requirements,but that trend has reversed. Argentina,Brazil,and Venezuela now require visas from U. S. citizens. They may be obtained from the embassy of the country you wish to visit.
Passport applications are available at passport agency offices in large cities like Boston,New York,or Chicago. In smaller cities,applications are available at post offices and at federal courts. To get your first passport,you must submit the application in person. along with a birth certificate and two pictures.
