There is only one place in the whole of England where it is legal to drive on the right (barring one-way streets) and that is the passage and court at the Strand entrance to the Savoy Hotel. Before leaving New York I put the question to Mr. C.S Forester. He said the custom was grounded in good sense and dated back to the period when many Londoners travelled to and fro on horseback. A horse, said Mr Forester, is always mounted from the left side. It was a matter of convenience, then, that a man coming out of a shop or house or tavern would have his horse aimed toward the left, otherwise he’d have to walk into the mud and slop of the street to mount, and from this practice came the custom of bearing to the left in traffic. Sensible. Mr. Forester added that my forefathers, the founders of the American nation, reversed the custom after the revolution out of sheer perversity. 39.

The author of this book said that the Pope and Napoleon were responsible. Some years before the reign of Bonaparte, the pope came to visit Paris. Up to then there had been no rule about the movement of traffic. The authorities, however, decreed that the Parisians should ride or drive on the right-hand side of the street, leaving the left-hand side clear for the movement of the papal carriage. Thus a custom was born and, when Bonaparte came along he made it the law of the land. Moreover, as he conquered country after country, the right-hand rule was put in force in those lands until it became the general things throughout continental Europe. The British, however, hating Napoleon, reversed the custom out of sheer perversity. Now I had two conflicting theories and I told them to Nat Gubbins and he said they were both wrong. He said that Mr. Forester was correct in one detail - the custom really dated back to horseback riding. It came into being because men on horseback had a practice of running each other through with swords and since the right hand was usually the sword hand, Englishmen got into the habit of riding on the left-hand side of the road, the better to slash and thrust. Logical. 39. Who was responsible for the left-hand rule? a. The author of this book b. Nat Gutbbins and Mr Forester c. Bonaparte d. Both the Pope and Napoleon 40.

The British reversed the custom because____. a. they disliked Napoleon b. they hated driving on the right c. the right-hand rule was put in force d. Napoleon conquered country after country 42.

Barter was a system of direct exchange of goods. Somebody could exchange a sheep, for example, for anything in the market-place that they considered to be of equal value. Barter, however, was a very unsatisfactory system because people’s precise needs seldom coincided. People needed a more practical system of exchange, and various money systems developed based on goods which the members of a society recognized having value. Cattle, grain, teeth, shells, feathers, skulls, salt, elephant tusks and tobacco have all been used. Precious metals gradually took over because, when made into coins, they were portable, durable, recognizable and divisible into larger and smaller unit of value. 36.
