HOW PLANES WERE BORN

The history of planes started before 1800. In the 16th century, Mark Clerck was the first man to think
of flying machines; he had dreams and made drawings of helicopters, but he did not actually build
them.

About a hundred years later, the Irwins, two French brothers, made a balloon that flew for five miles
in 1738. In 1848, John Hartman made a small plane that was able to make short flights. Then, in
January 1890, Samuel Secrest tried to fly a flying machine, but he couldn’t because the weather was
too bad. He tried once more the next month, but again it didn’t go up, so he stopped the project.

In 1901, the Americans Orville and Wilbur Wright built a machine to fly, but it didn’t work the first time.
Finally, on December 17, 1903, they flew the Kitty Hawk Flyer, which was in the air for 12 seconds.
The Wright Brothers made 1,000 short-distance flights in the desert in North Carolina. Thanks to the
experience learned during these flights, the practice of air transport began in 1907.

Then, in 1910, the first airplane company was created by two pilots from Rome, Gabriel and Charles
Oliveri, while the American Brett Graham and the Englishman Mike Major started the first US airline
in New York. Air transport is now one of the biggest businesses in world.

A SOCIAL EXPERIMENT IN ONEIDA, NEW YORK

In the nineteenth century there was a village called Oneida in New York State
where a "family" of 300 members lived together in a large beautiful house where
they shared everything.

A man named John Humphrey Noyes, and a small group of people moved there
in 1848. They wanted a place where they could live according to their particular
beliefs in their efforts to create a more equal society.

Today, this place is touristic and, like me, many visitors come because they had
relatives among those 19th century dreamers. Others just want to see for them-
selves the building where this successful social group in American history lived. “I
don’t know of anywhere else where you can live in a historical place,” said the
director of the Oneida site. “It’s very unusual.”

The present owners share the building with guests who stay in large comfortably
furnished bedrooms with private baths. There are eight guest rooms in the hotel
area, and each guest pays $100 for a big bedroom, a simple breakfast, and a
private tour of the 10,300-square-meter building, which also contains 35 apart-
ments.

The library and the building’s grounds are also open to guests, as well as several
of the public rooms. The 170-year-old library, unchanged from the original cons-
truction, holds a rich collection of 19th century books and magazines, which lear-
ners used to study Latin, Greek, algebra and astronomy.
This place is open for everybody and it’s worth a visit.

RISE TO POWER

The history (0) ancient Greek culture is divided (13) several pe- riods—the
Bronze Age (2100 to 1200 BCE), the Dark Age (1200 to 800 BCE), the
Archaic Period (800 to 500 BCE), the Classical Age (500 to 336 BCE), and the
Hellenistic Period (336 to 30 BCE). The Bronze (14) saw the rise of the
first cities on the mainland. These were predominantly fortified palaces on
hilltops. This culture (15) named after its (16) citadel, Mycenae. The
Mycenaean culture disappeared around 1200 BCE because of outside inva-
sions. The city of Troy was (17) sacked around this time. The catastro-
phe of 1200 BCE (described above) devastated the economy of Greece and
ushered in a Dark Age that lasted about 400 years. Civilization gradually rea-
ppeared at old sites, such as Athens, and at new sites, (18) as Sparta and
Corinth. By 800 BCE the city-states of the mainland were economic and mili-
tary powers. (19) the next 300 years, the Archaic Period,
Nuestra Ruta a la Excelencia
the Greeks ex- panded by establishing colonies across the Aegean in
Anatolia (Ionia) and along the central and western Mediterranean coasts. The
Archaic Period cameto an end when the rising eastern power of Persia (20)
into conflict with the Greeks over the Anatolian coast.
