4. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow. Refer to the text
to check your answers when appropriate.
When I used to think of inventors, I pictured old men with grey beards. I
pictured white lab coats and smoky beakers. I was surprised to learn that young people
have created many world-changing inventions.
Like 15-year-old Albert Sadacca, who invented Christmas tree lights. The year
was 1917. The place was New York city. Someone was hanging candles from a
Christmas tree, as was common at that time. This started a tragic fire. Sadacca's parents
sold electric lighting in their shop. Young Albert thought to adapt these lights for use on
Christmas trees. This turned out to be a pretty bright idea.
Another 12-year-old visionary was Louis Braille. Braille was blind in both eyes.
In 1819 young Louis was attending one of the world's first schools for blind children. He
learned a system of touch-based literacy, but it was hard for him to write. Braille sought a
better way to communicate with his classmates. He wanted to write freely, without
needing special equipment.
So he taught himself a system of night-writing used in the military. Then he made a few
changes to it. By the time he turned 15, he had created Braille. People with visual
impairments today still use Braille to read and write.

 Another cool kid who changed the world was 11-year-old Frank Epperson. Frank
was chilling on his porch one night in 1905. He went to bed and forgot his cup of
lemonade on the porch. When he woke the next morning, young Frank realized that he
had created the world's first Popsicle. He would later patent the concept and trademark
the name "Popsicle." Frank's idea was so successful that many people still call ANY
frozen treat a Popsicle.
Speaking of cool kids, 15-year-old Chester Greenwood was ice-skating one day in
1873. Naturally, as tends to happen during winter play, his ears got cold. Chester had a
clever idea. He asked his grandma to sew some fur tufts to a wire loop that he had
fashioned. His design worked well! He had invented earmuffs. He patented his "ear
protectors" as he called them. They were manufactured in his hometown of Farmington,
Maine. Greenwood's one good idea provided jobs for people in the Farmington area for
60 years.
Margaret E. Knight is another young person who became a small-town hero. She
is best remembered as the woman who invented the flat-bottomed paper bag. But she
made her first life-saving device at the age of 12. Her brothers were working at a textile
mill in town. One day she was visiting them. A loom malfunctioned and injured a worker.
She thought she could make the machines safer. She invented an effective system. Her
method was later used in many factories. She saved a lot of lives. And we still use the
paper bag design that she created in 1868. How many lives have those saved? Am I right?
Some young people feel powerless. They feel like they are living in an adult
world, created by adults for adults. But the truth is that everyone has the power to change
the world. A 12-year-old girl growing up in 1868 made factories safer. A 15-year-old
boy, blind in both eyes, made written communication more accessible. An 11-year-old
forgot to put away his drink and it froze. Who knows what's in store for your future?
