Read and choose the correct answer (A, B, C, or D) to each of the following questions.

The idea of life in outer space has been talked about for a long time. Some scientists say that life development on Earth was far too unlikely for it to have happened anywhere else. Things had to be perfect for us to make it on this planet. Other scientists say that space is too big. Stars and other planets are far too numerous for there to be no other life in the universe. For many years, there have been reports of visitors from other planets. People all around the world have claimed to see alien spaceships or even aliens themselves. There have been glimpses of these so-called UFOs (unidentified flying objects) flying through the air and they have even been captured on video. Some Americans believe that the U.S. Army found an alien spaceship crashed in the desert and then lied to the press about it. Although these sightings may be true, scientists have not found significant evidence that aliens exist.

If you go out into the countryside on a clear night and look up, you can see thousands of stars. Those stars make up a tiny part of our universe. There are more stars, planets, and galaxies than we can count. Even the smartest scientists can't even come close to defining how big space is. The number of possible stars and planets out there is bigger than our ability to count. If we are really on the only planet that can sustain life, then we are very special in a universe full of amazing things.

Escalators are very common today in shopping malls, government buildings, amusement parks, and many other locations. They are known to be staircases which move via a conveyor belt, with tracks which maintain each step in a horizontal position. However, the escalator began as an amusement and not as a practical transport. The first patent relating to an escalator-like machine was granted in 1859 to a Massachusetts man for a steam-driven unit. In 1892, Jesse Reno patented his moving stairs, or “inclined elevator”. Three years later, he created a novelty ride at Coney Island from his patented design: a moving stairway that elevated passengers on a conveyor belt at a 25 degree angle. 

Charles Seeberger, together with the Otis Elevator Company, produced the first commercial escalator in 1899 at the Otis factory in Yonkers, N.Y. The Seeberger-Otis wooden escalator won first prize at the Paris 1900 Exposition Universelle in France. Charles Seeberger sold his patent rights for the escalator to the Otis Elevator Company in 1910, which also bought Jesse Reno's escalator patent in 1911. Otis has dominated escalator production since that time, by combining and enhancing various designs including the cleated, level steps still in use today. The word “escalator”, which was at first a trademarked name, has become a common descriptive term. 

The first escalator used for public transport was developed in 1899.

Jesse Reno built an amusement ride based on his escalator design at Coney Island.

Today, escalators are mainly used for amusement purposes.

The escalator became popular immediately after it was invented.
