I. Reading Comprehension
The Industrial Revolution
Until a few hundred years ago there was little real industry. Most people lived in
the country-side and farmed the land. They could live on the food they produced
themselves. They grew their own wheat, baked their bread, and made their own cloths
and furniture. The few machines that there were, such as the spinning wheel, were simple
and were worked by hand.
Then, in the eighteenth century, a great change took place. Abraham Darby
discovered how to smelt iron by using coke. More iron became available. Spinners and
weavers invented machines that greatly increased output. One of these inventors, Richard
Arkwright, put several of his machines in a large building and employed a number of
people to work them. Thus he invented the factory system of working.
James Watt developed a practical steam engine that provided a source of power to
drive the new machines in the factories. People began to leave the land and work in cities
and towns. A revolution in the way people lived and worked had begun. This was the
Industrial Revolution.
