ALUMINIUM

Aluminium is the most common metal on Earth. It occurs naturally in many different kinds of rocks. But most of the aluminium we use is extracted from an ore called bauxite, which is formed over, long periods by the weathering of rocks containing aluminium silicates (aluminium, silicon and oxygen).

In 1886 two chemists independently discovered how to extract aluminium using electricity. Their discovery reduced the price of aluminium to a fraction of the price of silver in four years. The two chemists were Charles Martin Hall (1863 - 1914), a student at Oberlin College in the USA, and P.L.T. Heroult (1863 - 1914), a young chemist working in France. By coincidence, they were not only the same age when they made their discovery, but also died within eight months of each other.

Before this, the metal was much more expensive than silver and gold. The Emperor of France, Napoleon III, for example, used aluminium plates to impress the most important guests. Today we use aluminium foil to wrap food because it is so cheap.

Aluminium is also durable, light and a good conductor of electricity. It is used to protect metals against corroding because when the surface of aluminium reacts with oxygen in the air, a thick coating of aluminium oxide forms that seals a metal from the air. It isalso used to make parts for planes, cars, and lorries, to make electric cables.

THE FIRST SEISMOGRAPH

In 1989 millions watched on television as a powerful earthquake rocked San Francisco shortly before baseball's World Series. That quake's tremors brought death and destruction around the Bay area.

Today we know that the shifting in the earth's crust causes earthquakes. This movement sends "seismic waves" across the earth's surface, much as dropping a pebble in a pond sends ripples across water.

People living in Han China believed that angry spirits caused earthquakes to express their displeasure with society. Scholars studied quakes closely, believing they were interpreting a divine message.

In A.D. 132 Zhang Heng invented the world's first seismograph, an instrument for detecting and measuring earthquakes. Zhang's device resembled a domed, cylindrical urn. Each of eight dragons around the top held a ball in its jaws. At the base of the urn sat eight toads with upturned heads and open mouths, each directly under a dragon.

When a tremor occurred, a mechanism caused one of the balls to fall into a toad's mouth. This action showed that somewhere an earthquake was taking place. The side of the seismograph where that toad was sitting indicated the quake's direction. As the ball popped into the toad's mouth, the loudness may have indicated the tremor's strength.

Zhang Heng's seismograph had one quality that today's instruments lack: it was also a work of art.

 

1) Соотнесите русские и английские словосочетания:

1. to express displeasure a) поднятая вверх голова

2. to resemble an urn b) произведение искусства

3. to cause destruction c) напоминать сосуд

 

4. upturned head d) выражать недовольство

5. a work of art e) вызывать разрушения

 

2) Найдите в каждом ряду слово, противоположное по значению первому слову ряда.

1. detect a) find b) discover c) loose d) determine 2. angry a) wicked b) mean c) powerful d) cheerful 3. occur a) happen b) take place c) disappear d) hold 4. tremor a) peace b) quake c) shake d) vibration 5. strength a) force b) weakness c) intensity d) rate

Вставьте пропущенное слово.

1. In 1988 a powerful earthquake brought _____ to the Bay area.

2. Scientists who studied the quakes closely believed that they interpreted a ____ message.

3. The first seismograph resembled a domed ____ with dragons on it.

4. When a _______ occurred, one of the balls fell into a toad's mouth.

5. Zhang Heng's seismograph was actually a work of ______.

ENGINEERING IN ROME

The Romans constructed many impressive buildings besides the Circus Maximus and the Colosseum. Between A.D. 118 and 128, Hadrian rebuilt the Pantheon, a temple for all the gods and goddesses, with a soaring dome and a huge skylight. To build the Pantheon, the Romans mixed concrete, a new building material with various kinds of stone.

As they constructed public buildings and a vast network of roads, the Romans engineered aqueducts, or artificial channels for carrying water. These lofty arches built out of stone enabled water to flow into Rome from as far away as 30 miles (about 48 kilometers). One Roman-built aqueduct in Segovia, Spain, was so well constructed that it is still used today - nearly 1.900 years after it was completed.

The Romans excelled at taking discoveries made by others, combining them, refining them, and using them in new and often more practical ways. They adapted the Etruscan arch and dome to construct aqueducts and the Pantheon, and borrowed the design for columns from the Greek temple to support porches built around Roman city squares.

Roman scientists also relied upon foreign resources - information that had been collected and organized from other cultures.

1) Соотнесите русские и английские словосочетания:

 

1. huge skylight a) парящий купол

2. vast network b) позаимствовать конструкцию

3. to borrow the design c) искусственные каналы

AN UNNATURAL DISASTER

Pressing economic and social problems have plagued the world's developing nations in the decades following World War II. The demand for natural resources, the creation of jobs, and the need for more open land to settle growing populations have led many nations to introduce deforestation programs.

Although a useful short-term solution to economic problems, deforestation has disastrous consequences. Deforestation can decrease soil quality and create erosion problems, reducing rich forests to wastelands. The destruction of the tropical rain forests in Brazil threatens to alter the world's climate and contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Deforestation recently led to a major disaster in Thailand. The Thai government's 30-year policy of encouraging logging resulted in the loss of fully half the nation's forests. A violent rainstorm that hit one of the deforested regions in November 1988 created flash floods on the bare, muddy hillsides. These floods killed 400 people and left thousands more injured and homeless.

If the forests had remained to absorb the downpour, floods would not have threatened the valley's residents. By ignoring the consequences of their actions, Thai officials and loggers not only destroyed a vital resource but also created a disaster. Experts say the destructive floods have set the region's economy back 20 years.

1. to introduce deforestation programs 2. short-term solution 3. to contribute to the green house effect 4. to threaten 5. to set back

A MELTING POT

The United States of America has probably one of the most “mixed populations” in the world. This is why it is often called “melting pot”. The first Americans were the Native Americans- there are about 2 million of them today, about 0, 8% of the population. Their ancestors came to America over a “land bridge” from Asia 40,000 years before Columbus.

The European Arrive

Many years later, in the 1600s, people arrived from Europe. The first group came from England and France. Today about 32 million Americans (about 13%) have English ancestors from over 300 years ago. The Europeans also took people by force from Africa to work for them in the “New World”. As slaves they had a very hard and difficult life, and many of them died during the journey to America or on tobacco and cotton farms. There are about 30 million black Americans (about 12% of the population) in the United States today and most of them are descendants of slaves. More recently, people have come to the United States from other parts of the world. Between 1820 and 1860 many people came from Germany and Ireland – about 58 million (about 23%) of Americans have German ancestors and about 39 million (15%) have Irish ancestors. From 1860 to 1920 many people came from other European countries including Russia, Poland, Greece, Turkey and Italy.

The USA today

Today the fastest growing group in the United States is Hispanic. There are about 25 million Hispanics (about 9% of the population) in the United States who came from Spanish-speaking countries such as Cuba, Mexico and Puerto Rico. There are also large numbers of people from Asian countries, including China, Japan, Korea and the Philippines. In total, there are about 7, 5 million Asian Americans (about 3% of the population).

CHANGES IN WOMEN’S LIVES

For many women life today is different from the life in the time of their grandmothers. The changes have come very slowly but in many countries women now take a more active part in society.

Working in factories

During World War I and the World War II many men went away to fight. This meant that more and more women had to work outside the home. For many women it was the first time when they were independent and they had their own money. They were not wealthy but many women were not so poor as they used to be. At the end of the war they did not want to go back to the kind of life they used to have.

Voting in elections

In many countries many women also started to fight for the right to vote in elections and to make political decisions. Their votes were important and male politicians had to start thinking about what women ask for.

Education for women

Other important changes affected the women’s lives. More girls started to go to schools. In the past people used to send only their sons to schools. Many people used to think that education was too expensive to “waste” on girls. In time governments started to provide education for girls and women were then able to get better jobs.

Life today

Life for many women has changed but in some places it is still the same as it used to be 100 years ago. More than half the world’s population is female but women own less than 10% of the world’s land.

On average women earn 65 % of the salary of men

There are no women in the list of the world’s 100 richest people.

More than three times more women than men cannot read or write.

In schools girls usually do better than boys but boys generally get better jobs when they leave schools. In some countries only 10% of the labour force is female.

SATELLITES

Satellites are an important part of our ordinary lives. For example, the information for weather forecast is sent by satellites. Some satellites have cameras which take photos of the Earth to show how clouds are moving. Satellites are also used to connect our international phone calls.

Television satellites

We use satellites to send television pictures from one part of the world to another. They are usually 35,880 kilometers above the equator. Sometimes we can see a satellite in the sky and it seems to stay in the same place. This is because it is moving around the world at 11,000 kilometers per hour- exactly the same speed that the earth rotates. A satellite must orbit the Earth with its antennae facing the Earth. Sometimes it moves away from its orbit so there are little rockets on it which are used to put the satellite back in the right position. This usually happens about every five or six days. Computer connections of the World Wide Web and Internet are also satellites. Many of our programs come to us through satellites. Airplane pilots also sometimes use a satellite to help them find their exact location.

The Earth’s biggest dustbin?

Space is not empty! Every week more and more satellites are sent into space to orbit the Earth. A satellite usually works for 10- 12 years. Satellites which are broken are sometimes repaired by astronauts or sometimes they are brought back to Earth to be repaired. Often very old or broken satellites are left in space to orbit the Earth for a very long time. This is very serious because some satellites use nuclear power and can crash into each other.

THE BBC NEWS SERVICE

Many people think that the BBC news programs are better than those on other channels because the BBC is not a commercial company. It pays for its programs from the television license money which everyone must pay if they have a television. The BBC, which is often known as “Auntie”, is the biggest news collecting operation in the world. It has the world’s largest network of foreign correspondents. Ten per cent of the BBC’s annual budget is spent on news collecting, reporting and presenting. More than 1700 people work for the BBC news service. The BBC produces more than 214 hours of news and current affairs programs for radio and television each week. Each television news program costs about 78 000 pounds per hour and each radio news program costs roughly 4, 000 pounds per hour. In the UK roughly 19 million people – almost 35% of the total population watch the BBC television news programs every day. Development in technology is improving news collection and presentation every year. The BBC now is using special robotic cameras in the TV news studios to film the news presenters and captions the world. And sentences at the bottom of the screen are now produced automatically by computer.

THE NATIVE AMERICANS

When Columbus arrived in the Caribbean in 1492, he thought he had landed in the East Indies in Asia, so he called the people there “Indians”. In fact, they were native Americans, who had arrived in America over 40,000 years before them. At that time, Native Americans lived all over North America. Many of them lived in small groups of about 20-50 people. Most of them were very peaceful people, who lived by hunting and collecting food. Other Native Americans lived in small villages where they had farms. The Native Americans were the first people to cultivate many of the plants that we now eat: potatoes, beans, maize, tomatoes, cacao and many others. There were thousands of different languages and tribes, each with its own culture.

When the Europeans arrived, they tried to take land away from the Native Americans and there were many wars. Millions of the Native Americans also died from the diseases that the Europeans brought to them. As the Europeans took control over the eastern part of North America, the Native Americans had to move to the west in order to survive. After the United States had become independent, White Americans moved further west into the land where Native Americans lived and there were many battles – as we can see in the cowboy’s and Indian films. Then, starting in 1983, The US Government forced the Native Americans to move even further west into “reservations”. The Native Americans fought against it and for many years there were wars against the white Americans, ending with the massacre of Sioux men, women and children at Wounded Knee in 1890.

Gas from animals

In parts of India and China people use biogas for cooking. They put water and manure from animals into a large tank. This produces gas, methane. A pipe takes the gas into the house.

Acid rains – what is it?

Acid rains destroy plants, rivers, lakes and buildings. It comes from sulphur in coal and oil. When they burn, they make sulphur dioxide. It is mixed with water in the air and becomes sulphuric acid.

Acid rain can travel thousand of miles, so pollution in one country can become acid rain for another country. In Sweden, for example, scientists have said that 70% of the sulphur in the air comes from other countries, including Britain.

EDISON

Edison is known as one of the greatest inventors of his time. He invented so much that it is difficult to say which of his achievements is the greatest. He was an experimenter and a practical man more than a theoretician.

Edison did not have any education. He went to school for only three months. Then he left because the teacher considered him a dull boy. His mother became his teacher. The boy loved books and his mother said that he had a wonderful memory. When he first visited a public library and saw a lot of shelves with books he decided that he would read all of them and then he would know everything in the world. He measured the shelf and decided to read a toot of books every week.

In 1868 Edison built his first patented invention - an electromagnetic device.

It is said that he planned to ask three thousand dollars for his invention, though he secretly decided he would sell it for two thousand if necessary He was invited to a meeting of businessmen who were interested in buying his invention, but when he was asked to name a price he was very nervous and quite unable to speak.

"It is no use asking us a big price," said one of the businessmen, “we’ve already decided how much we will pay. Forty thousand dollars is our limit".

With this money Edison established a workshop and began his career as a professional inventor at the age of twenty-two.

All his inventions were the result of hard work. He sometimes con­ducted thousands of experiments. According to him, the idea that a genius works only by inspiration was absurd. "Genius is 2 per cent inspiration and 98 per cent perspiration," he often said.

METALS IN PERSPECTIVE

Modern civilization is based on metals and millions of tons are extract­ed from the surface of the Earth every year. The place of metals in the modern world is supreme in importance. About three-quarters of all known chemical elements are metals.

Since the Stone Age, man has found many materials he could work with. However, the materials that helped him most to develop were the metals. In many regions of the Ancient World man used Jumps of native metals he could pick from the surface of the ground: gold nuggets, lumps of native copper and silver.

Archaeologists have found evidence of early metal-work dating as far back as 10,000 ВС. Such finds were made in the Middle East, where deposits of copper were most plentiful. This does not mean that this metal was easy to find, but that there were more deposits in the Middle East than other parts of the world.

Copper seems to be the first metal which began to oust stone. The need for copper was great indeed. The advantages that copper had before stone as a material for weapons, tools, were obvious. The metal occurred naturally in the pure (free) state and had many good things about it: it could readily be worked to any shape, flattened, pointed and holed. At first, man made it into small things such as arrowheads. Before long, however, man noticed that when hammered copper becomes harder and stronger, but if it is held over a fire - soft, malleable, easy to work.

Gold is the most malleable of all the metals. It is much softer than cop­per and not very strong. But gold has been valued for thousands of years for its beautiful luster and scarcity.

PRECIOUS METALS

Why are some metals so much more valuable than others? Gold, silver and platinum have been highly valued for centuries because of their scarcity, beauty and high qualities.

When Christopher Columbus discovered the America in 1492, Spanish expeditions soon followed. Though they are much criticized for their cruelty, greed and treachery, the military achievements of the 'Conquistadors' were remarkable. First they conquered Mexico and took away its valuable treasures. Seeking more land and wealth they invaded Peru, home of the Incas. Here they murdered the king and stole his vast hoard of gold - probably the greatest in the world. The natives were enslaved and set to work to win more gold. Later the Spanish conquered Chile and Bolivia, both of these countries being rich in precious metals, particularly silver.

To the metallurgists, the most exciting discovery made by the Spaniards was the finding of platinum in the silver mines of Mexico. At that time the new metal was
