Thomas Edison was one of the greatest inventors of the world. He was responsible for more than one
thousand inventions including the electric light bulb and the record player. He also created the world’s first
industrial research laboratory.
Edison was born in 1847 in Ohio, USA. When he was 10 years old, he set up a small laboratory
after he had read a science book his mother showed him. In 1869, he borrowed some money and began to
make inventions. In 1876 he built a new laboratory so that he could spend all his time inventing. He planned
to turn out minor inventions every ten days and “big trick” every six months. He developed many devices
that brought great benefits to people’s life. He once said that the value of an idea lay in the using of it.
Edison died in 1931, after having a remarkably productive life.

The Moon buggy
The Lunar Roving Vehicle, or moon buggy, was the vehicle used by astronauts when they explored the
moon in the 1970s. It was considered Apollo’s Cadillac of lunar vehicles and was developed by Boeing and
General Motors. Moon buggies run by electricity and were specially designed to operate on the lunar surface.
They measure 1.1 metres tall and 3 metres long. They weigh 210 kg but they can carry a payload of up to
490 kg. The wheels were  also designed very carefully to resist the rocky moon surface which is covered in
dirt. A lunar rover also has a controller, motors, brakes, and two seats  for astronauts to sit in. Most Filipinos
consider Dr. Eduardo San Juan, a NASA engineer, the inventor of the Lunar Rover. However, San Juan was
not listed as the inventor  of the moon buggy in NASA documents. Officially, the vehicle was designed  and
constructed by a group of space engineers. Nevertheless, it is claimed that he received one of the Ten
Outstanding Men (TOM) awards in science and technology in 1978.

IV. Read the text and do the tasks
Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an
earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before noon when the habitants of Tokyo were
cooking their midday meals. Thousand of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began to shake. As a
result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were prevented from going to
help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use fire fighting equipment as most
of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the damage was caused by fire rather than
by the collapse of buildings

2. The earthquake began a minute before midnight
3. The fire engines were prevented from going to help because most of the water pipes had burst

V. Read and do the task below:

I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how I imagine them: They
may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have eight legs and be able to move
very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their bodies and their skin might be very thick so they can live
in temperatures of around -145 degrees Celsius. They may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They
may also have a very good sense of smell and they may even be able to sense others’ feelings like happiness
or fear. And I don’t think they eat and drink like us. Instead, they get all their energy from the rocks. They
may charge their bodies by plugging their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they don’t
even need to breathe air. The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family units of parents and
children. They may also use language to communicate with each other.
