C. Reading
5 & 6 Read the following passage then answer
the questions:
It is difficult to believe that less than a 150 years
ago we could not switch on lights in our homes
when it went dark. People who wanted to work or
study at night had to use gas or oil lights. Electric
light bulbs were invented in 1879 by Thomas
Edison who also helped produce the system of
getting electricity from where it was generated to
where it was used. Edison was a very intelligent
man but when he was at school his teachers did
not realise this. He had to leave school at the age
of seven because he asked too many questions.
His mother realized that he only asked questions
because he was interested so she educated him
at home. The General Electric Company which
Edison started still supplies most of the electricity
in North America today.

1. What three forms of energy are referred to in

More about trees
Trees have often been important in history. On
a famous Greek island there is a tree that is more
than 12 metres in width. It is growing in exactly the
same place as Hippocrates the father of medicine
used to teach his pupils. And in another place and
time the English hero Robin Hood is believed
to have hidden from his enemies in the branches
of large trees. The English language uses many
words connected with trees. You can talk about the
branches of a bank or a shop and the trunk of the
human body. And if someone has lived somewhere
for a long time you can say they have put down
roots.

was no one in the hunting lodge.
