The Automobile and Its Impact

For most Americans, not a day goes by that they are not affected by cars. The automobile has had more of an impact on American life than any other mode of transportation. The automobile has changed where people live, how people work, and how people view one another.

In the early 20th century, people who worked in cities had to live in those cities. People lived in crowded apartments with very little room for their families. When the automobile became available to the masses, people were able to move outside of cities to live. The automobile is what led to the growth and development of the suburbs. People began building homes on the outskirts of cities. Soon these places became communities with roads, police stations, and restaurants. This helped create jobs in those areas. People could choose whether they wanted to drive their car to work in the city or closer to home. Either way, this choice and way of life would not be possible without the automobile.

Cities were not the only areas affected by cars. The invention of the automobile helped increase farm production and distribution. Before the invention of the car, farmers used horses to travel. They were limited to only traveling 15–20 miles. Now, with cars and later trucks, farmers could deliver their products many miles away. This meant that more people could buy their products, and the farmer could earn more money. This also meant that people could enjoy produce that was not locally grown. Cars did not only have positive impacts on American society. The invention of the car created a new class system for Americans. In the early 20th century, only the wealthy were able to own cars. Over time, cars became status symbols. Some cars were created simply as a symbol of wealth and class. That is still the case today. Cars have also created more pollution. The gasoline that cars need to run has negatively affected the air. The more cars there are, the more polluted the air becomes.

The invention of the car has changed how people live in both positive and negative ways. This cannot be said for any other mode of transportation. Although ships and planes have made travel more convenient, they have not impacted a person's everyday life in the same way as cars.

Select the statement that best describes the author's point in paragraph four.

Cars helped farmers move their crops to new places.
Cars also had a negative impact on American life.
Cars helped create the suburb.
Airplanes are more important than cars.
Thank you!

Read the excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin.

Some of these scholars made otherwise significant contributions to the world's knowledge of ancient Egypt. A German priest of the 1600s, Athanasius Kircher, wrote the first grammar and vocabulary of Coptic, the language of Christian Egypt. These books were to prove of great value when the hieroglyphs were eventually deciphered.

But Kircher's ideas about the hieroglyphs themselves were even farther off the mark than those of Horapollo. Looking at a certain group of symbols—which actually stood for the name of a pharaoh—Kircher let his imagination run wild. Without any evidence to support him, he said that the hieroglyphs meant "The blessings of the god Osiris are to be procured by means of sacred ceremonies, in order that the benefits of the river Nile may be obtained."

From 1650 onward, Kircher produced several volumes of such nonsense. It earned him a reputation for being an expert on the hieroglyphs—a reputation that lasted, unfortunately, long after his death in 1680.

The Songs of the Nightingales
by A. Gautam

Sweet love, come back to me, she sang alone.
She sang it to the bird and to the sea.
She wanted him to come, he who was gone
beyond the waters, and where eyes could see.

She sent so many whispers with the cloud.
She searched in flowers, if they had his trace.
Where had he gone, forgetting what he vowed?
She asked the moon, if it had seen his face.

She sang more songs, more melodies of love.
She hoped the wind will carry them to him.
She even sent her message with a dove;
kept singing till the sun began to dim.

The nightingales have learned to sing her songs.
Somewhere another sweetheart pines, and longs.



In the poem, what is the main character trying to convey?

a. She will look for her love in the clouds, flowers, and the moon.
b. she will keep singing until everyone knows about her love.
c. She will sing untill all nightingales help her find her love.
d. She will wait for her love, though he will not come back to her.
