Born a free black man in the British Colony of Maryland in 1731, he received some formal education, but he mostly borrowed books and taught himself science and mathematics. At 22, he borrowed a pocket watch, and without any training, figured out how to carve a working wooden clock that chimed each hour. Because of this clock, he became well known and people would visit him just to see his creation. Banneker ran his family farm for many years, but when he was in his late 50s, a neighbor's son lent him a telescope. He became interested in astronomy, the study of the planets and stars, and again taught himself a new science. He made calculations of tides, sunrises and sunsets, and even predicted an eclipse. For several years he published an almanac of these calculations. Today, he is best known for publishing six almanacs, called "Benjamin Banneker's Almanac" between 1792 and 1797. In the 1790s, Banneker also helped survey and lay out the land for 　　Washington　, 　D.C.　　, which became the nation's capital. For a look at Banneker's amazing life, visit the Benjamin Banneker Historical Park & Museum in Ellicott, City, 　　Maryland　　. 　 　 6. What was the status of most African-Americans at Banneker's time?

In order to find Asia they had to find a way past 　South America　. The man who eventually found the way from the 　Atlantic Ocean　 to the Pacific was Ferdinand Magellan. Magellan sailed from 　　Seville　　 in August 1519 with five ships and about 280 men. Fourteen months later, after spending the severe winter on the coast of Patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚), he discovered the channel which is now called Magellan's Strait. In November 1520, after many months of dangers from rocks and storms, the three remaining ships entered the ocean on the other side of 　South America　. They then continued, hoping to reach 　Asia　. But they did not see any land until they reached the islands off the coast of 　Asia　. Before they arrived at these islands, later known as the 　　Philippines　　, men were dying of starvation. While they were staying in the 　　Philippines　　, Magellan was killed in battles. The remaining officers then had to get back to 　　Spain　　. They decided to sail round 　Africa　. After many difficulties, one ship with eighteen men sailed into 　　Seville　　 three years after leaving. They were all that remained of Magellan's expedition. However, their achievement was great. They were the first men to sail round the world. 　 　 11. The purpose of Magellan's expedition was _____.
