How America got its name

In 1497, five years after Christopher Columbus sailed west and discovered the New World, another man, a merchant from Florence, (1. also / although/ often) sailed west. His name was Amerigo Vespucci. (2. It / He / She) landed on what is now called South America and claimed that he was the (3. most / last / first) European to set foot on that (4. bank / land / sea). Although he never (5. suggested / suggest / was suggesting) that this new land should be named after him, it eventually was.

This (6. is / were / was) how it happened. While Vespucci (7. travelled / travel / was travelling) to all those faraway places, he sent many letters (8. from / to / all) his friends, describing his adventures.

Eventually someone (9. was deciding / decides / decided) to publish his travel letters in a (10. book / film / newspaper). The book (11. became / was becoming) very famous and people began (12. to tie / to link / to chane) his name — Amerigo — to the land he described in the book. A little while (13. later / late / latest) maps came out that (14. watched / seemed / showed) the New World under the name America, a Latin spelling of Amerigo. (15. This / These / it) seemed a natural choice. Vespucci was very (16. more / much / not) against this, but the name America (17. did / in the past / soon) became very popular. There (18. did

/were / was) nothing he could do to stop the (19. ship / name / map) America being used for the new (20. land / people / sights) in the west. That is how America (21. get / was getting / got) its name.

Amerigo Vespucci would be surprised to know that his (22. ship

/land / name) is used for such a large area. The trouble is that (23. a lot / much / most) people don’t know where the name America (24. is coming / come / comes) from.

They don’t know that there (25. is /was / be) a man behind the name of this vast continent.

The Summer holidays began. Over two months of vacation (1. lay / lied / was) ahead! I intented to do more (2. that / then / than) the year before, when the two months just (3. were passing / passed / pass) without anything really happening. That (4. is/ were / was) a real waste of time. This year, my friends and I (5. want / want / wanted) to make sure (6. that / so / what) they took advantage of every moment. They (7. want / went / were going) to get up early every (8. summer / day / two months) and enjoy themselves.

(9. There / This / It) was 10 o’clock in the first morning of the holidays and I (10. was waiting / wait / waited) for my friends to pick

149

me up. We (11. go / were going / went) on a picnic. While I (12. wait

/ waited / was waiting) for my friends I (13. look / was looking / looked) at that morning’s paper. I (14. didn’t feel / was feeling / felt) like reading it, but I (15. wasn’t / didn’t / don’t)have anything else to do. I felt very tired, which wasn’t surprising. I was getting much sleep because (16. off / of / on) a series of end-of-year parties. Sleeping was a waste (17. off / of / on) time anyway, wasn’t it?

Where was everybody? Why (18. they weren’t / weren’t they / didn’t they) here? I looked at my watch. (19. It was / There was / That was) 2 o’ clock already. I went to the phone and dialled Jane’s number. I let it ring ages, but (20. someone / no one / anyone) answered. I looked out of the window and watched the birds on the trees. As I was thinking of whom to ring next, the phone (21. rings/ rang / was ringing). Perhaps, something was wrong with her (22. television / bell / watch) — it said 5 o’clock. Larry was on the (23. phone / holiday / the air). He said that everybody was too tired to go out that day. Jane was asleep and so (24. was / were / did) everybody else. But it didn’t matter, did it? After all, we still (25. have / had / were having) lots of holiday time left.
