Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate
the correct answer to each of the questions.
For centuries, time was measured by the position of the sun with the use of sundials. Noon
was recognized when the sun was the highest in the sky, and cities would set their clock by this
apparent solar time, even though some cities would often be on a slightly different time. Daylight
Saving Time (DST), sometimes called summer time, was instituted to make better use of daylight.
Thus, clocks are set forward one hour in the spring to move an hour of daylight from the morning
to the evening and then set back one hour in the fall to return to normal daylight.
Benjamin Franklin first conceived the idea of daylight saving during his tenure as an
American delegate in Paris in 1984 and wrote about it extensively in his essay, "An Economical
Project." It is said that Franklin awoke early one morning and was surprised to see the sunlight at
such an hour. Always the economist, Franklin believed the practice of moving the time could save
on the use of candlelight, as candles were expensive at the time.
In England, builder William Willett (1857–1915) became a strong supporter for Daylight
Saving Time upon noticing blinds of many houses were closed on an early sunny morning. Willet
believed everyone, including himself, would appreciate longer hours of light in the evenings. In
1909, Sir Robert Pearce introduced a bill in the House of Commons to make it obligatory to
adjust the clocks. A bill was drafted and introduced into Parliament several times but met with
great opposition, mostly from farmers. Eventually, in 1925, it was decided that summer time
should begin on the day following the third Saturday in April and close after the first Saturday in
October.
The U.S. Congress passed the Standard Time Act of 1918 to establish standard time and
preserve and set Daylight Saving Time across the continent. This act also devised five time zones
throughout the United States: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska. The first time zone
was set on "the mean astronomical time of the seventy-fifth degree of longitude west from
Greenwich" (England). In 1919, this act was repealed.
President Roosevelt established year-round Daylight Saving Time (also called War Time)
from 1942–1945. However, after this period, each state adopted its own DST, which proved to be
disconcerting to television and radio broadcasting and transportation. In 1966, President Lyndon
Johnson created the Department of Transportation and signed the Uniform Time Act. As a result,
the Department of Transportation was given the responsibility for the time laws. During the oil
embargo and energy crisis of the 1970s, President Richard Nixon extended DST through the
Daylight Saving Time Energy Act of 1973 to conserve energy further. This law was modified in
1986, and Daylight Saving Time was reset to begin on the first Sunday in April (to spring ahead)
and end on the last Sunday in October (to fall back).
