READING COMPREHENSION (Number 121 – 130) Reading 1A little more than a hundred years ago, a scientist in Medford, Massachusetts was trying to help local industry. Instead of helping local industry, however, he caused a major problem witha the local environment. The scientist thought that it would be a good idea to try to develop tke silk-making industry in Medford. He knew that the silk industry in Asia was successful because of the silkworm, a catterpilar that ate only mulberry leaves. Mulberry trees did not grow in Medford, so the scientist decided to work on developing a type of silk-making worm that would eat the type of tree leaves in Medford. His plan was to create a worm that was a cross between the silkworm and another type of imported worm that would eat the types of leaves around Medford. Unfortunately, his plan did not turn out as he wanted. He was not able to come up with a silk-producing worm. However, the worms that he imported did like to eat the leaves of trees around Medford.
