The Hudson River is one of the most significant rivers in America, though it is not the largest. It was named after Henry Hudson, an English explorer who charted the river for the Dutch East India Company. The Hudson goes for 315 miles, starting in the Adirondack Mountains in New York State. It enters the ocean around New York City.

Washington Irving, an American writer, was one of the first to write about the Hudson River. He lived in the Hudson River Valley and wrote about the unique characteristics of this area. He developed the first kind of American folklore and told a story of a man named Rip Van Winkle. Rip Van Winkle fell asleep one day while climbing the mountains around the Hudson River. He did not wake up for twenty years. When he finally woke up, America had become a free country.

The river has not only been written about by famous writers, but has had practical purposes as well. It was an important means of transportation as America developed. The Eric Canal was built to connect the river to Lake Erie, one of the nation’s great lakes. This canal allowed the many cities on the Great Lakes to get goods from Europe. The Hudson River Valley area was also good for building railroads. All in all, the Hudson River is an important river in America.

1. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. Washington Irving’s River C. A River of American Importance

B. The Biggest River in America D. Why Americans Built the Erie Canal

2. Why does the author mention “Washington Irving*’ in paragraph 2?

A. To give an example of an American writer C. To explain why Rip Van Winkle did not wake up

B. To prove that many writers live in New York D. To show that writers wrote about the Hudson River

3. Why does the author talk about “the Erie Canal” in paragraph 3?

A. To point out the need to build a railroad C. To prove that Americans were good builders

Dịch bài đọc:

Không có gì đáng ngạc nhiên khi quê hương của cola là miền Nam nước Mỹ nóng và ẩm. Khu vực này từ lâu đã chuyên tạo ra những lon nước giải khát thơm ngon. Một người buôn bán ở Atlanta, Georgia tên là John Pemberton đã tạo ra thương hiệu đồ uống nổi tiếng nhất thế giới vào những năm 1880. Tuy nhiên, có vẻ như rõ ràng rằng anh ta không biết nó sẽ trở nên khổng lồ như thế nào.

Giống như nhiều dược sĩ người Mỹ thời đó, Pemberton đã phản đối việc uống rượu và muốn sản xuất một loại nước ngọt kích thích. Đầu tiên, ông ấy làm " Coca phiên bản Rượu vang Pháp", được làm từ lá coca. Sau đó, ông ấy bắt đầu thử nghiệm với hạt cola. Cuối cùng, ông ấy đã thành công tạo ra sự kết hợp của cả hai mà ông ấy đã thấy ngọt, nhưng không quá ngọt. Quyết định rằng "hai chữ C sẽ có vẻ hợp khi quảng cáo", ông đặt tên cho nó là Coca–Cola.

Phát minh của Pemberton nhanh chóng trở nên phổ biến. Đến năm 1905, "Coke" đã được quảng cáo trên toàn quốc như là "Thức uống không cồn tuyệt vời đến từ thiên nhiên". Đồ uống càng thành công hơn nhờ có một phong trào phản đối đồ uống có cồn lớn và phổ biến ở Mỹ vào thời điểm đó. Trong những năm 1920, rượu đã bị cấm và doanh số của Coke tăng đáng kể. Tuy nhiên, chúng vẫn tiếp tục tăng ngay cả sau khi luật được thiết lập lại.

Một lý do khác cho sự nổi tiếng của Coke là tầm nhìn kinh doanh tốt. Một năm sau khi ông phát minh ra nó, Pemberton đã bán Coca–Cola cho Asa Griggs Candler chỉ với $283,26! Candler là một thiên tài tiếp thị, và vào thời điểm ông bán Công ty Coca–Cola vào năm 1919, nó trị giá 25 triệu đô la.

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.
