Quiz 5	READING COMPREHENSION

Thomas Alva Edison lit up the world with his invention of the electric light. Without him, the world might still be a dark place. However, the electric light was not his only invention. He also invented the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and over 1,200 other things. Edison was born in Milan, Ohio, on February 11, 1847. Later, his family moved to Michigan. His mother taught him a few things, but Thomas was mostly self-educated. His natural curiosity led him to start experimenting at a young age with electrical and mechanical things at home. When he was 12 years old, he got his first job. He became a newsboy on a train. He set up a laboratory in a baggage care of the train so that he could continue his experiments in his spare time. Unfortunately, Thomas was fired when he accidentally set fire to the floor of the baggage car. Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job conducting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat. Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.

Are Americans Eating Better? Most health experts agree: Americans are eating too much, and the population as a whole is getting fatter. But if you look at recent changes in Americans’ eating habits, not all of them have been bad. Consider these facts: Ø  Americans are still eating too much meat, but they’re eating less beef and more chicken and fish. That’s good, because chicken and fish have less fat than red meat. Ø  They’re drinking less milk, but they’re also eating more cheese than before. So they’re still getting too much fat from milk products. Ø  Americans are eating fewer eggs. Many people think fewer eggs means less heart disease. Ø  They’re eating more carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes, bread, and beans. Some think this is a good change, but others say it’s adding to Americans’ wight problem. Ø  Americans are eating about five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. That’s not bad, but eight to ten servings would be better. Ø Americans are eating too man fats and sugars because they eat too many prepared (fast) foods, and these ingredients are in most prepared foods.
