Directions (1-6): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions
given below it.
Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the

r’s
world. Many people ride bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a
means of transportation. The first bicycle, called a draisienne, was invented in
Germany in 1818 by Baron Karl de Drais de Sauerbrun. Because it was made of
wood, the draisienne wasn’t very durable nor did it have pedals. Riders moved it by
pushing their feet against the ground.
ha
In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much
better bicycle. Macmillan’s machine had tires with iron rims to keep them from
getting worn down. He also used foot-operated cranks, similar to pedals, so his

E
bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the modern
bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front
d
wheel. Although Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never
produced in large numbers.
In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle
ee

with an improved crank mechanism. They called their bicycle a vélocipède, but
most people called it a “bone shaker” because of the jarring effect of the wood and
iron frame. Despite the unflattering nickname, the vélocipède was a hit. After a
few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually,
C
mostly for fun-seeking young people. Ten years later, James Starley, an English
Sr

inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized bicycle design. He made

the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the pedals
to make the bicycle more efficient, and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes.
Although this bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy,
extremely top- heavy, and ridden mostly for entertainment. It wasn’t until 1874
that the first truly mod- ern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another
Englishman, H.J. Lawson, the safety bicy- cle would look familiar to today’s cyclists.
The safety bicycle had equal-sized wheels, which made it much less prone to
C
toppling over. Lawson also attached a chain to the pedals to drive the rear wheel.
By 1893, the safety bicycle had been further improved with air-filled rubber
tires, a diamond- shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided
by Lawson, bicycles became extremely popular and useful for trans- portation.
Today, they are built, used, and enjoyed all over the world.

1) several people contributed to the develop- ment of the modern bicycle.
2) only a few vélocipèdes built by the Michaux family are still in existence.
3) for most of the nineteenth century, few people rode bicycles just for fun.
4) bicycles with wheels of different sizes can- not be ridden easily.

Directions (12): Read the following passage carefully and answer the question
given below it.
Litigation is not always the only or best way to resolve conflicts. Mediation
offers an alternative approach and it is one that can be quite efficient and
successful. Mediation can be faster, less expensive, and can lead to creative
solutions not always possible in a court of law. Additionally, mediation focuses on
mutually acceptable solu- tions, rather than on winning or losing.

1) there is too much reliance on litigation in our society.
2) litigation is expensive, slow, and limited by its reliance on following the letter
of the law.
