I. Read the passage below and choose the
Write your answers A, B, C or D on your answer sheet. (5 pts)
Much of the great progress the human race has made during the past four centuries has been brought about by new
inventions. The machines man has created do much of the hard work which he had to do previously. As a result, people who
live today have much easier lives with more time for recreation than people who lived several hundred years ago.
We should think, therefore, that everybody would welcome' a new invention and honor the inventor. But this has not always
been true. A Frenchman named Thimonnier invented a sewing machine in 1830. This machine made it possible for one tailor
to do the work of several; and it also made his work much easier. But instead of welcoming the new invention, the tailors
smashed the machine to pieces. They feared that it would throw many of them out of work.
However, if an invention is a good one, in time it is practically always accepted. The sewing machine was improved and found
to be a good invention for tailors as well as for others. It caused ready-made clothes to become much less expensive, so that
more people could buy them. Then more tailors instead of fewer were needed.
