IV. READING

Inventors and Inventions

Technology is the reason humans have risen to a dominant role on our planet, above all other species. We are not the strongest or the fastest, in fact we're quite weak in relation to many other animals. But our brains, and our technology have allowed us to dominate our world. The most important discovery in human history is the harnessing of fire, which allowed us to operate in darkness, keep warm in the winter, and cook food. There is no set date to think about the invention of fire, however.

The first great invention, then, was agriculture. Ancient peoples collected wild grains to eat as long ago as 20,000 BC, but didn't start growing these crops until 13,000 BC and 6,000 BC, depending on the region. One of the earliest crops to be domesticated was rice, in China in around 11,000 BC.

Agriculture includes animals, of course, and the earliest animals to be domesticated are believed to be pigs, in 13,000 BC in Macedonia. The switch to agriculture is crucial, as it provides a food surplus. This surplus means that not everyone has to be involved in food production, freeing people up to conduct trade and advance science and the arts.

Other crucial inventions are the wheel, invented by the Greeks, which allowed people to carry heavy goods; as well as nails, invented by the Romans, without which construction was difficult.

Another great, world-shaking invention was the compass. The compass was invented between 200 BC and 100 AD in China. Prior to the compass, mariners had to use the sun and stars to navigate, which meant it was impossible to steer when the sky was overcast. The invention allowed accurate navigation in any weather... though the compass was first used for feng shui, or the construction of houses to be harmonious with the environment.

Probably the most significant medieval achievement was the printing press, without which modern civilization wouldn't be possible. It was invented in Johannes Gutenberg in 1436. Though imprinting symbols or images via stencils and ink had been known in Europe and China for hundreds of years, Gutenberg mechanized the process, improving its speed and efficiency. Up until then, books had to be painstakingly copied by hand, but now they could be mass-produced easily.

About fifty years after the invention of the printing press, twenty million volumes had been mass-produced. This led to a rise of literacy never seen before and directly

contributed to the Protestant Reformation as it allowed average people to access the Bible.

One of the greatest inventions, which today we take for granted, is the lightbulb.

There were several contributors to the field before Thomas Edison came along, but today he is credited with the invention of the first practical incandescent light bulb.

He tried thousands of times to create the light bulb before managing to do so in 1879.

This invention revolutionized the world.

When asked about the thousands of times he'd failed to create the lightbulb, Edison replied 'I didn't fail. I just found 2,000 ways now not to make a light bulb; I only needed to find one way to make it work.' Who the next great inventor will be is up in the air.

Question 31. Why was agriculture an important invention?

A. Vegetables are more nutritious than meat B. It created a food surplus

C. It made trade easier

D. Agriculture was not important

Question 32. Which of the following people invented the wheel?

A. The Romans B. The Greeks C. The Gauls D. Thomas Edison

Question 33. Which of the following was the compass first used for?

A. Spaceflight B. Drawing circles C. Feng shui D. Agriculture

Question 34. Why was the printing press important?

A. It allowed average people to access the Bible B. It created a food surplus

D. It allowed the mass-production of literature

If the steam engine mobilized industry, the automobile mobolized people. While ideas for personal vehicles had been around for years. Karl’s Benz’ 1885 Motorwagen, powered by an (26) combustion engine of his own design, is widely considered the first automobile. Henry Ford’ improvementsin the production precess – and (27) marketing – brought the price and the desire for owning an auto into the reach of most Americans. Europe soon followed.

The automobile effects on commerce, society and culture is hard to (28) . Most of us can jump into our car and go wherever we want whenever we want, effectively (29) the size of any community to the distance we’re willing to drive to shop or visit friends. Our cities are largely designed and built around automobile access, with paved roads and parking lots taking up huge amounts of space and a big chunk of our goverments’s (30) . The auto industry has fueled enormous economic growth worldwide, but it’s also generated a lot of pollution.

Reading the following passage and do the tasks below.

It's important for people to eat as much as they need to give them energy. If they eat too little food or the wrong food they won't have enough energy. If they eat too much, they will need to make more exercise; otherwise they will put on weight. When we eat the correct quantity of food for the exercise we take, we call this the energy balance.

Fat is very high in calories, and so is no help at all in keeping energy balance. Fat has also been linked with heart disease, and many experts believe that eating less would help to reduce it.

(12)

Sugar isn't good for the energy balance either. The only value of the diet is to provide energy, and you can get that from other foods. There's no doubt that too much sugar makes you fat and it doesn't do your teeth much good either.

Fibre, on the other hand is something that we eat too little of. One of the simplest ways of eating more fibre is to eat more bread, particularly whole meal, granary, or high fibre bread. It's a good, cheap source of fibre and nutrients without too many calories. Potatoes are good, too. Like bread, they are underrated, but they're excellent for filling you up without making you fat, especially if you don't cover them with butter or fry them in fat.

So eat less fatty food (sweets, chocolate, cakes pudding, jam) and eat more fibre foods (bread, potatoes, pasta, fresh fruit and vegetables).

Are these sentences true or false? Justify.

Question 31. People won't need to make exercise if they eat too much.

Question 32. When people eat too much they put on weight.

Question 33. Eating less fat would cause heart attacks.

Question 34. Sugar provides energy, but it causes obesity.

Question 35. Fibre foods are good for the energy balance.

V. LISTENING

Listen carefully and fill in each blank with NO MORE THAN TWO word.

Where would we be without muscles? Probably a mess on the floor. Muscles are pretty interesting things. Everybody has lots of them. Some people (36) them better than others. (37) want to have really big muscles. The bigger the better.

They spend hours in the gym (38) to make their muscles as big as they can. (39) work on the specific muscles they need for their sport. If you look at a hundred-metre runner, you’ll notice they have large shoulder and arm muscles.

This is so they can (40) when they run. An interesting thing about muscles is that it takes more face muscles to frown than it does to smile. This means smiling uses less energy, so we should do it more.

Read the following passage , then choose the correct answer.

Music can move the soul. It can be a very strong influence. Some music can calm us down, but some music can make us wild! How does music affect us? Music is used in a variety of ways. It is used in the medical field as a source of research and as a sort of therapy as well. Music has been used as therapy for seizures , to lower blood pressure, treat mental illness, treat depression, aid in healing, treat stress and insomnia and premature infants. Musicologist Julius Portnoy found that it can change heart rates, increase or decrease blood pressure, effect energy levels, and digestion, positively or negatively, depending on the type of music. Calming music, such as classical music was found to have a very calming effect on the body, and cause the increase of endorphins, thirty minutes of such music was equal to the effect of a dose of valium. Both hemispheres of the brain are involved in processing music.

The music in these studies is not the "lyrics", but the music itself, the melody, the tones, the tunes, the rhythm, the chords. Conversely music has also been documented to cause sickness. The right, or wrong music, rather, can be like a poison to the body.

Studies have been done on plants where loud hard rock music, for instance, killed plants and soft classical music, make the plants grow faster.
