Benjamin Franklin
Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much as Benjamin Franklin.
He lived through almost the whole of the eighteenth century, being born six years after it
began, and dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the American colonies
grow from tiny settlements into a nation, and he also contributed much to the
development of the new state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. He had already received some
training as a printer’s apprentice, and this helped him seven years later, with his first
publication, the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do government
printing work, which helped him to rise from his poor background to become a successful
entrepreneur. Some of his experience in business was shared in his famous Poor Richard’s
Almanak, which established his reputation throughout the American colonies. In another
of his works, the Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life, he shows
the same quiet common sense.
He was deeply interested in science and natural history, and his experiments with
electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod. He was also
interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of
projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a university, a
philosophical society, and - because he was a pragmatic man - a fire prevention service. In
1753 he became Postmaster-General of the colonies. Through this experience he began to
develop the idea that the colonies of North America should be a single nation. Later, he
went to London to try to persuade the British government to change the conditions,
especially the taxes, that later led the American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings about the rebellion of the
American states, he worked hard to make it succeed. As ambassador to France, he
encouraged the French to help George Washington. After the war he attended the
American constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for he died later that
year. He is still fondly remembered by Americans as one of the creators of the United
States.

1. What is a good description for this text?

A. An autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. B. The life of Benjamin Franklin
C. The works of Benjamin Franklin. D. Franklin and American Independence.
2. When was Benjamin Franklin born?
A. 1806 B. 1794 C. 1717 D. 1706
3. Which of these happened first?
A. Franklin trains as a printer. B. Franklin runs away to Philadelphia.
C. The American colonies rebel. D. Franklin starts his first publication.
4. What was Poor Richard’s Almanak about?
A. Franklin’s reputation. B. How to succeed in business.
C. How to do government printing. D. The text does not say.

Question 1. Choose ONE appropriate question in the box to each
paragraph below :

1/ How do industry and transport cause pollution ?

2/ How can I help ?
3/ What is the pollution ?
4/ How can industry help ?
5/ What cause pollution ?
6/ What about air pollution ?

A. ___ Pollution is the poisoning of the land, sea and air.

B. ___ Mainly industry and transport. If you go to any city,
you will see too many factories, too many cars with not enough
people in them, and not enough public transport.
C. ___ Factories and vehicles produce waste which goes
into the air and rivers and spreads all over the land. Poisons in
the waste build up over the years and harm trees, plants,
animals, and people.
D. ___ Waste gases build up in the air, and dissolve into
raindrops, forming a weak acid. This "acid rain" can fall far
away from the country which produced it, killing trees in
forests and fish in lakes and rivers.
E. ___ If companies clean their waste gases before
releasing them into the atmosphere, there'll be much less air
pollution and no acid rain. But this can be expensive and it
needs all the world's companies to do it.
F. ___ Cars pollute the atmosphere. Walk, cycle and use
public transport as much as possible. Only use your car when
you really need to, and use unleaded petrol if you can - lead is
one of the most dangerous ingredients in petrol. Join us, and
help us to campaign for cleaner air for everybody.
