THE TELEPHONE

1. Alexander Graham Bell never planned to be an inventor. He wanted to be a musician or a teacher of deaf people. In 1863, when Alexander was only sixteen, he became a teacher in a boy’s school in Scotland. He liked teaching there, but he still wanted to become a teacher of deaf people. He read all books about sound that he could find, and started to work on some of his own experiments. Reading scientific books wasn’t easy for him, but he worked very hard, and he learned a lot about the laws of sound.

2. He became interested in telegraph, and he tried to find a way to send musical sounds through electric wires. These experiments were not very successful. Then Alexander was offered a job at the School for the Deaf in Boston, Massachusetts. He was so successful that he was able to open his own school when he was only twenty-five.

3. About this time Alexander became interested in finding way to send the human voice through an electric wire. He found an assistant, Tom Watson, who worked in an electrical shop and knew a lot about building electric machines. Tom and Alexander worked together to build a machine that people could use to talk to one another over long distances. One day, when they were working on a new transmitter, Alexander spilled some acid on himself. Tom Watson, who was alone in another room, heard a voice. The spilled acid was forgotten when Tom and Alexander realized that their talking machine worked.

4. The first permanent telephone line was built in Germany in 1877. And in 1878, the first telephone exchange was established in New Jersey. Alexander Graham Bell was invited to open the new line, and he asked his old friend, Tom Watson, to help. On the important day, January 25, 1915 Mr. Watson was in San Francisco and Mr. Bell was in New York City. Everyone expected to hear a serious, scientific speech. The words that Mr. Bell chose to say were: “Come here, Mr. Watson! I want you!”

GRAVITY

A force of attraction exists between every body in the universe. It has been investigated by many scientists including Galileo and Newton. This gravitational force depends on the mass of the bodies involved. Normaly it is very small but when one of the bodies is a planet, like the earth, the force is considerable.

The greater the mass, the greater is the earth’s force of attraction on it. We call this force of attraction gravity.

Because of gravity. Bodies have weight. We can percieve weight only when a body resists gravity. For example, when we pick up a stone there are two forces involved. One is the lifting force we exert and the other is the force of gravity which attracts the stone downwards and thus gives it weight. When a body escapes from the influence of the earth’s gravitational pull, it can become “weightless”. For example, the centrifugal force of a spacecraft spinning in orbit round the earth cancels the affect of gravity. The crew therefore experience weightlessness.

If the space crew land on the surface of the moon, they experience the much weaker force of the gravity exerted by the moon. On the moon they weigh less than on the earth. Special training is necessary to help them to walk on the moon’s surface.

To simplify engineering calculations, it is assumed that gravity is the same everywhere on the earth’s surface, and that for every kilogramme of mass the earth exerts a force of 9,81 newtons on a body. In fact gravity differs slightly from place to place because of the shape of the earth. It is greatest at the poles where the earth is flattest and is least at the Equator.

METALS

Why does man use metals still so such today when there are other materials, especially plastics? A material is generally used because it offers the required strength, and other properties, at minimum cost. Appearance is also an important factor. The main advantage of metals is their strength and toughness.

Plastics are lighter and more corrosion-resistant, but they are not usually as strong. Another problem with plastics is what to do with them after use. Metal objects can often be broken down and the metals recycled; plastics can only be dumped or burned.

Not all metals are strong, however. Copper and aluminium, for example, are both fairly weak – but if they are mixed together, the result is an alloy called aluminium bronze, which is much stronger than either pure copper or pure aluminium. Alloying is an important method of obtaining whatever special properties are required: strength, toughness, resistance to wear, magnetic properties, high electrical resistance or corrosion resistance.

The properties of a metal can be further improved by use of heat treatment. Heat treatment is the term given to a number of different procedures in which the properties of metals and alloys are changed. It usually consists of heating the metal or alloy to a selected temperature below its melting point and then cooling it at a certain rate to obtain those properties which are required. For example, hardening is used to make metals harder. Tempering makes them softer and less brittle. Annealing is carried out to make a metal soft so that it can be machined more easily.

When Concorde was built, a material was needed which could withstand extreme aerodynamic conditions. To achieve this, a special aluminium alloy was developed which is tough and lightweight and is used in over 70% of Concorde’s structure.

Пояснення до тексту:

toughness	- твердість, міцність
corrosion-resistant	- стійкий до корозії

SOURCES OF ENERGY

Throughout history, people have developed various sources of energy to help them do their work and improve their living conditions. One of the first forms of energy that people used was fire. Later, wind and water supplied energy for transportation and simple machinery.

The inventions of the steam engine, electricity, and the gasoline engine introduced new stages in energy development and increased productivity. Recently, nuclear energy has begun to contribute to the productivity of the economy.

Since the invention of the steam engine, societies have depended on fossil fuels to supply energy. Fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, developed from the remains of prehistoric plants and animals.

Today, fossil fuels supply 97 percent of the world’s energy needs. The amount of fossil fuel people burn has nearly doubled every 20 years since 1900. Such rapid consumption of this type of energy may exhaust the world’s supply of fossil fuels. Engineers predict that oil will become scarce in the early 2000s and the earth’s natural gas reserves will be exhausted within about 30 years. Coal, the most plentiful fossil fuel, is expected to last another 300 to 400 years.

Sources other than fossil fuels fill some of the world’s energy needs. For example, water power provides about 2 percent of the world’s energy. Solar energy, given off by the sun is used in some places to heat homes and generate electricity. Winds, tides, and the heat of the earth’s interior are among other sources of energy people use today.

Пояснення до тексту.

fossil fuels –викопне (русск.-ископаемое) паливо;

scarce-недостатній,мізерний;

to exhaust-виснажувати;

supply-запас;

to supply-постачати,забеспечувати;

consumption –споживання.

COMPUTERS

A computer is a device that has the ability to accept, store and process enormous quantities of data in an extremely short time. A computer allows to get information almost immediately. The modern history of digital computers began in 1939 with the work done by Howard Aiken (Говард Айкен).

A number of automatic machines were constructed in the early days of computing to solve differential equations. Until the discovery of germanium transistors in 1947 electronic computers were like very large furnances, consuming enormous quantities of electrical power.

The appearance of integrated circuits and microprocessors gave birth to the new generation of computers capable of performing two million operations per second. It found wide application in all fields of economy solving the most complex economic problems.

The next generation of computers is widely used in production. The supercomputer “PS-200” is able to perform 200 million operations per second and is based on super high-capacity integrated circuits.

The fastest computer in the USA works like on assembly line with individual processors performing individual operations.
