THE GREATEST INVENTORS
When we think of "the greatest inventors" in the world, we almost always think of those like Thomas Edison
or Alexander Graham Bell. They had revolutionary ideas and there is no doubt that our lives would be very
different (and very boring) without their creations. It almost seems like nobody has invented anything useful
in a long time, but this is simply not true!
Our technology today is so advanced that new inventions don't seem to have life-changing results. But this
doesn't mean that they aren't useful, or that they aren't amazing, either. It's just that they are less noticeable
than it was in the past when new creations considerably changed our way of life. And so, we should celebrate
these incredible people and respect them as much as we respect the inventors that came before them.
Modern-day inventor Elon Musk has transformed the world of automobiles with his creation of arguably the
first self-driving car that performs as well as regular cars.
Before he passed away in 1931, Thomas Edison held the world record for the largest number of inventions
- 1093 to be exact. In 2003, a Japanese inventor named Shunpei Yamazaki beat his record. As of today,
Yamazaki holds the record of 6074 inventions, and counting!
And then there is Mark Zuckerberg whose invention actually did change our lives, especially in terms of
social media, marketing, and even job creation. Zuckerberg was only 19 years old when he invented
Facebook. In 2007, at age 23, Zuckerberg became the world's youngest self-made billionaire.
36. What is true about paragraph 1?

B. Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell used to be the greatest inventors.
C. Past inventions seem to have a greater influence on our life than modern ones.

37. Why do we not seem to take much notice of new inventions today?
A. They are bad inventions.
B. They make little changes to our lives.
C. There aren't many new inventions.
D. They aren't useful.
38. What did Elon Musk invent?

39. What is the current world record of inventions?
