Leonardo de Vinci was born on April 15, 1452 in Vinci, Italy. He was the illegitimate son of Set Piero, a Florentine notary and landlord, but lived on the estate and was treated as an illegitimate son.

In 1483, Leonardo de Vinci drew the first model of a helicopter. It did not look very much like our modern-day “copter", but the idea of what it could do was about the same. Leonardo was an artist and sculptor. He was very interested in motion and movement and tried to show it in his art. In order to show movement, he found it helpful to study the way things moved.

One subject he liked to study was birds and how they flew. He spent many hours watching the birds and examining the structure of their wings. He noticed how they cupped air with their wings and how the feathers helped hold the air. Through these studies, Leonardo began to understand how birds were able to fly.

Like many other men, Leonardo began to dream of the day when people would be able to fly. He designed a machine that used all the things he had learned about the flight, and thus became the first model of a helicopter.

Poor Leonardo had only one problem, however. He had no way to give the l necessary speed to his invention. You see, motors had not been invented and speed was an important part of the flying process. It would be another four hundred years before the engine was invented and another fifty years before it was put to the test in an airplane.

Leonardo’s dream of a helicopter finally came to pass in 1936. The Italian painter, sculptor, architect, engineer, and scientist, Leonardo died on May 2, I519, and was buried in the cloister of San Fiorentino in Amboise.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Niagara Falls, one of the most famous North American natural wonders, has long been a popular tourist destination. Tourists today flock to see the two falls that actually constitute Niagara Falls: the 173-foot Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River in the Canadian province of Ontario and the 182-foot-high American Falls on the US side of the river in the state of New York. Approximately 85 per cent of the water that goes over the falls actually goes over Horseshoe Falls, with the rest going over American Falls.

Most visitors come between April and October, and it is quite a popular activity to take a steamer out onto the river and right up to the base of the falls for a closer-up view. It is also possible to get a spectacular view of the falls from the strategic locations along the Niagara River. such as Prospect Point or Table Rock, or from one of the four observation towers which have heights up to 500 feet.

Tourists have been visiting Niagara Falls in large numbers since the 1800s; annually visitation now averages above ten million visitors per year. Because of concern that all these tourists would inadvertently destroy the natural beauty of the scenic wonder, the state of New York in I885 created Niagara Falls Park in order to protect the land surrounding American Falls. A year later Canada created Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side of the Niagara, around Horseshoe Falls. With the area surrounding the falls under the jurisdiction of government agencies, appropriate steps could be taken to preserve the pristine beauty of the area.
