A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT IN ONEIDA, NEW YORK

 
 

In the nineteenth century there was a village called Oneida in

New York State where a "family" of 300 members lived together
in a large beautiful house where they shared everything. A man
named John Humphrey Noyes, and a small group of people
moved there in 1848. They wanted a place where they could live
according to their particular beliefs in their efforts to create a
more equal society. Today, this place is touristic and, like me,
many visitors come because they had relatives among those
19th century dreamers. Others just want to see for themselves
the building where this successful social group in American
history lived. “I don’t know of anywhere else where you can live
in a historical place,” said the director of the Oneida site. “It’s
very unusual.” The present owners share the building with
guests who stay in large comfortably furnished bedrooms with
private baths. There are eight guest rooms in the hotel area,
and each guest pays $100 for a big bedroom, a simple breakfast
and a private tour of the 10,300-square-meter building, which
also contains 35 apartments. The library and the building’s
grounds are also open to guests, as well as several of the public
rooms. The 170-year-old library, unchanged from the original
construction, holds a rich collection of 19th century books and
magazines, which learners used to study Latin, Greek, algebra
and astronomy. This place is open for everybody and it’s worth
a visit.

My love of traveling
By Sam Harris
 
I grew up in Australia and was introduced at an early age. We
moved around a lot because of my father's work. My main
hobby was radios -I repaired old sets and listened to various
programs from around the world. I had a map of the world on
my bedroom wall with pins on it and I wrote postcards to
foreign radio stations. I was an only child and I didn’t have
many friends; instead I tried to contact the outside world. We
didn’t have a television, so what I learned came from the radio
and from encyclopedias. By the age of 13, I could draw maps of
countries from memory and name all the capital cities. 
I didn’t actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, when I
went on a long trip through Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking I
was well prepared, but in fact, I knew little about its rich
culture. Then I went to India, where my taste for adventure and
different experiences grew. Every city there was different; there
were cows on the streets, old cars, interesting food, and people
everywhere. 
I went from country to country without realizing how dangerous
some of them were at that time. There was very little advice
available. But now it's different -you can learn so much from the
internet and just about everywhere you go, you'll find an
internet café. It's really changed the way people travel.
The things I now like most about a trip are eating and shopping.
I also love sitting on trains and talking to different people. I'm
sure I'll never get bored with traveling, even though I've
explored most countries in the world. 

What is the writer trying to do in the text?

Select one:
a. Talk about the towns where he used to live.
b. Compare the different countries he has been to.
c. Describe the people he met while traveling abroad.

d. Explain how his interest in travel has increased.

My love of traveling
By Sam Harris
 
I grew up in Australia and was introduced at an early age. We
moved around a lot because of my father's work. My main
hobby was radios -I repaired old sets and listened to various
programs from around the world. I had a map of the world on
my bedroom wall with pins on it and I wrote postcards to
foreign radio stations. I was an only child and I didn’t have
many friends; instead I tried to contact the outside world. We
didn’t have a television, so what I learned came from the radio
and from encyclopedias. By the age of 13, i could draw maps of
countries from memory and name all the capital cities. 
I didn’t actually leave Australia until I was twenty-five, when I
went on a long trip through Asia. I arrived in Thailand thinking I
was well prepared, but in fact, I knew little about its rich
culture. Then I went to India, where my taste for adventure and
different experiences grew. Every city there was different; there
were cows on the streets, old cars, interesting food, and people
everywhere. 
I went from country to country without realizing how dangerous
some of them were at that time. There was very little advice
available. But now it's different -you can learn so much from the
internet and just about everywhere you go, you'll find an
internet café. It's really changed the way people travel.
The things I now like most about a trip are eating and shopping.
I also love sitting on trains and talking to different people. I'm
sure I'll never get bored with traveling, even though I've
explored most countries in the world. 

What can you learn about the writer in this text?

Select one:
a. Very little surprised him on his first visit of Africa
b. He had always wanted to work on the radio
c. He liked sharing his interest in geography with other people.

d. His early knowledge of the world came from the radio 

Excellent !!! This is the correct answer
