In England, transportation had improved a great deal during the years before 1830, but moving heavy
materials, particularly coal, remained a problem. It is therefore significant that the first modern railway, built in 1825 for the transportation of coal, ran from the Durham coal field of Stockton to Darlington near the coast. Coal had traditionally been transported short distances via tramways, or tracks along which horses pulled coal carts. The Stockton-to-Darlington railway was a logical extension of a tramway, designed to answer the transportation needs arising from constantly expanding industrialization. The man primarily responsible for the design of the first steam railway was George Stephenson, a self-educated engineer who had not learned to read until he was seventeen. The locomotives on the Stockton-Darlington line travelled at fifteen miles an hour, the fastest rate at which machines had yet moved goods overland. Soon they would move people as well,transforming transportation in the process.
It is emphasized in the passage that George Stephenson, who designed the first steam
railway, ----.
A) developed new techniques in order to increase the speed of locomotives
B) was one of the partners who owned the Durham coal field of Stockton
C) had been previously involved in the solution of various other problems concerning transportation

(I) People can temporarily alter their hair to force it into a straight state, or a curly state, but only on a temporary, not on a permanent, basis.

(IV) The wave does not stay permanently, because new hair, which is straight, grows in as the 'perm' grows out.

Often, it is claimed that small children who are learning to speak two languages go through a stage of mixing and confusing the two. The use of words from both languages in a single sentence is cited as evidence that the child cannot distinguish between the two languages, but in reality, this is not a sign of confusion. In fact, it has been shown that the use of two languages in one sentence by mature bilinguals reveals a great deal of linguistic skill. It is also true that, while young bilingual children sometimes use words from two languages in the same sentence, they produce far more sentences using only one language. This clearly shows that they are able to keep their languages separate. The question then becomes, in what circumstances do children use words from both languages in the same sentence? They do it only when talking to people that they know can understand both languages and who do not get upset with them for using such sentences. In other words, the social context in which children find themselves determines whether and to what extent they use more than one language in a single sentence. The same happens with bilingual adults; they use words from two languages in the same sentence only in sociolinguistic settings in which it is appropriate.
The passage largely deals with ____.
A) the difficulties children come across in bilingual environment
B) many discussions of the advantages of early bilingualism
C) the effects of using two languages at the same time
D) description of the usage of bilingualism
E) how adults effect kids to use two languages
