VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question. 
 It is hard to think of a world without gas or electricity. Both are commonly used for 
lighting and heating today. We now can instantly flick a lighter or strike a match to 
make a flame. But it was not long ago that there were no such things as matches or 
lighters. To make fire, it was necessary to strike a piece of iron on flint for sparks to 
ignite some tinder. If the tinder was damp, or the flint old, you had to borrow some fire 
from a neighbour. 
 We do not know exactly when or how people first used fire. Perhaps, many ages ago, 
they found that sticks would burn if they were dropped into some hole where melted 
 Thẩm Tâm Vy EXTRA COURSE - GRADE 12 TEST YOURSELF C 
lava from a volcano lay boiling. They brought the lighted sticks back to make their fire 
in a cave. Or, they may have seen trees catch fire through being struck by lightning, and 
used the trees to start their own fires. 
 Gradually people learned they could start a fire without travelling far to find flames. 
They rubbed two pieces of wood together. This method was used for thousands of years. 
When people became used to making fires with which to cook food and stay warm at 
night, they found that certain resins or gums from trees burnt longer and brighter. They 
melted resins and dipped branches in the liquid to make torches that lit their homes at 
night. Iron stands in which torches used to be fixed can still be seen in old buildings of 
Europe. 
 There was no lighting in city streets until gas lamps, and then electric lamps were 
installed. Boys ran about London at night carrying torches of burning material. They 
were called torch boys, or link boys, and earned a living by guiding visitors to friends’ 
houses at night. For centuries homes were lit by candles until oil was found. Even then, 
oil lamps were no more effective than a cluster of candles. We read about the splendors 
and marvels of ancient palaces and castles, but we forget that they must have been 
gloomy and murky places at night.
