Unit 1
WARMING UP
Answers:
1 Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-212 BC) He was a mathematician. He found that if you put an object into water the water pushes the object up. It rises and partly floats. The force of the water pushing it up is the same as the weight of the object.
2 Charles Darwin, British (1808-1882) The Origin of Species was published in 1859. It explained how plants and animals had changed over time to fit in with a changing environment. At the time it was published it was very controversial. Many people believed the Bible when it said that God made the first two people (Adam and Eve) and that all other people came from these two. Darwin’s book showed that people had developed from apes instead. So this caused a lot of argument between religious and scientific people. However Darwin’s idea became very influential and is still accepted today.
3 Thomas Newcomen, British (1663-1729) He improved the first steam pump built by Thomas Savery in 1698 and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712. James Watt improved it still further in the 1770s turning it into the first modern steam engine used on the railways.
4 Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822-1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity and inherited characteristics. He concentrated on cross-fertilising pea plants and analyzing the results. Between 1856-1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance. The first is that inheritance factors do not combine but are passed to the next generation intact. Second, he found that each partner gives half the inherited factors to the young. Third, some of these factors show up in the offspring (and so are dominant). The other factors are masked by the dominant ones (and so are recessive).
5 Marie Curie, Polish and French (1867-1934) She was born in Poland and came to study in France in 1891 and she lived there for the rest of her life. In 1898 she discovered radium. She received two Nobel prizes, one (with Pierre Curie) for physics (1903) and one for chemistry (1911). She is the only person to have been so honoured. On the death of her husband she took over his job at the Sorbonne in Paris. Her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium meant that she began a new scientific area of research. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne.
6 Thomas Edison, American (1847-1931) He was already an inventor of other electrical devices (phonograph, electric light bulb) when in 1882 he designed a system for providing New York with electricity from a central power station. This was a tremendous achievement, which had previously been thought impossible.
7 Leonardo da Vinci, Italian (1452-1519) He was a famous artist whose skill for showing human skin tones made his paintings seem to come alive. He used to study dead people in order to make his paintings as accurate as possibile. Some of his famous paintings include “The Adoration of the Magi” and the “The Last Supper”. Later in his life he lived in France where he designed a submarine and a flying machine.
8 Sir Humphry Davy, British (1778-1829) He did research into different gases and discovered the medicinal value of nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) as an anaesthetic. In 1815 he developed a safety lamp for miners. Previously there had been many accidents when candles on the miners’ helmets had exploded when it came into contact with underground gas from the coal the miners were digging. The safety helmet made working underground very much safer.
9 Zhang Heng, Chinese (78-139) He invented the first seismograph to indicate in the direction of an earthquake. It was in the shape of a cylinder with eight dragon heads round the top, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the bottom were eight frogs directly under a dragon’s head. When an earthquake occurred, a ball fell out of the dragon’s mouth, making a noise.
10 Stephen Hawking, British (1942-) He has worked in astronomy and studied black holes in space. He has shown that black holes do not only absorb everything around them but, from time to time, throw out matter as well. This may mark the beginning of new galaxies. This is an advance on the old theory which said that black holes “eat” everything they come across.

Answer key for Exercise 1:
1 An outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854.
2 John Snow began to test two theories.
3 John Snow investigated two streets where the outbreak was very severe.
4 John Snow marked the deaths on a map.
5 He found that most of the deaths were near a water pump.
6 He had the handle removed from the water pump.
7 He announced that the water carried the disease.
8 King Cholera was defeated.
Answer key for Exercise 2:
1 John Snow finally proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera, collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.
2 No. The map helped John Snow organize his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.
3 Three diseases, which are similar today, are SARS, AIDS and bird flu, because they are serious, have an unknown cause and need public health care to solve them.
Sample summary for Exercise 3:
John Snow wanted to find the cause of cholera. He believed that people became ill after eating infected food. He used the next outbreak of cholera to test his idea. He studied a small area of houses which got their water from the same pump. Many people in the area died. John Snow showed that this was because the water in the pump was infected. He showed that cholera could be defeated if people drank clean water.

A GREAT CHINESE SCIENTIST
Father of the Chinese space programme
Yu Ping (YP) is talking to her friend Steve Smith (SS) about Qian Xuesen and his work as a rocket scientist.
Part 1
YP: What do you want to be when you grow up, Steve?
SS:I want to be an astronomer and visits stars. I wish to visit Mars one day.
YP:I think I’d like to work in the space industry too. I’d like to be a rocket scientist like Qian Xuesen.
SS:What did he have to do to become a rocket scientist?
YP:Well, he first studied at university to be an engineer. Later he went to America to study for his doctor’s degree. It was then he began to work on rockets.
SS:So it was lucky for our space programme that he came back to China.
YP:Very much so. There was no work on space rockets in China before he began his institute to design and build rockets to go into space.
Part 2
SS:Do you think he wanted to travel into space in one of his rockets?
YP:I have no idea but I believe he looked forward to the first space flight by a Chinese astronaut.
SS:Yes. Now that China has sent satellites into space. I hope we’ll be the first to land on Mars. That would really be something special and if I were that astronaut I would put Qian Xuesen’s picture on Mars to show how much we admire his work.
YP:Indeed. He is rightfully called the father of the Chinese space programme. He is my hero and he is why I want to be a rocket scientist.
SS:Well, we’d better get on with our homework. We need good grades to get into university.
YP:Right you are. See you, then.
SS:See you.

Sample writing:
Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,
I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.
I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory.
I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show whether your ideas are right or wrong.
So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory.
Yours sincerely,
(your name)

Question 1: The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. More about this appears in the first reading passage.
Question 2: It takes ten hours to fly from Beijing to London Heathrow Airport if you take a direct flight.
Question 3: It may appear to an outsider that the Queen has an important role in ruling the country. However, this is not so. Her position is ceremonial: opening Parliament, welcoming Heads from other countries, going on tours to other countries to encourage trade with Britain, etc. The Prime Minister together with his most important ministers (called the Cabinet) and his Members of Parliament (each from a different part of the country) make the important political decisions and the laws.
Question 4: The counties of Britain are much smaller than provinces in China. They have local government powers for their area. Counties have several Members of Parliament depending on the size of their population. Large towns such as Reading have two MPs and the largest city in England outside London, which is Birming-
ham, has ten MPs.
Question 5: The Rivers Thames and Severn are very similar in length but the River Thames is slightly longer. The River Thames is 338 km and the River Severn is 290 km. The River Avon is much shorter.

CAN A ROYAL PALACE ALSO BE A PRISON?
Zhang Pingyu (ZP) is trying to find out more about the history of the Tower of London from a guide (G).
Part 1
G:The Tower was the home of the King but also a prison. Many important people were kept there.
ZP:I beg your pardon? Can you speak more slowly, please?
G:Of course. Have you heard of “The Princes in the Tower”?
ZP:No, I’m afraid not.
G:These two princes were brothers, called Edward and Richard and they lived six hundred years ago. They came to London, for the older boy to become Edward Ⅴ, after his father, King Edward Ⅳ, died.
ZP:I see. How old was he?
G:He was only thirteen years old. His cruel uncle, also called Richard, was supposed to look after them both, but instead he had them killed while they were asleep.
ZP:What do you mean? He killed them himself?
G:No. He sent his men to kill them because he wanted to become King Richard Ⅲ. There is a story that on a dark night you can sometimes hear those princes crying.
ZP:You can hear them crying? Really? I thought you said they were killed many years ago.
G:Yes, but it’s only a story!
Part 2
ZP:Who else came to the Tower as a prisoner?
G:A future queen. In the 1550s Queen Mary sent her sister, Princess Elizabeth, to the Tower as a prisoner.
ZP:Strange! Why did she do that?
G:She thought Elizabeth was a traitor. So she sent Elizabeth through a special gate called “Traitors’ Gate”. That only happen-
ed to very bad people.
ZP:I’m sorry I don’t understand. How did Elizabeth become Queen if she was a prisoner?
G:Easy. Her brother and sister both died without children so Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ. She tried not to be unfair to others when she was queen.
ZP:I’m glad to hear that.

S1:Please can you speak more slowly? I’m afraid I can’t follow you.
S2:I’m sorry. I’ll speak more slowly. This is the Hall where the Emperor made his sacrifices to the Gods. You may not go in but just look through the door.
S1:What did you mean by making sacrifices?
S2:He killed many animals after making prayers. He was also dressed in special clothes.
S1:I beg your pardon? Special clothes! I thought his clothes were always special! What were they?

CAN PEOPLE REALLY LIVE ON MARS
LI Qiang(LQ) is interviewing Walker Hiller(WH) on the space station about his idea for building a new town called “Wonderworld” on Mars.
LQ: Well, Mr Hiller Why did you think of building a new town on Mars?
WH: It sounds astonishing, doesn’t it? I imagine that it’ll be difficult and the atmosphere, gravity, and climate will have to be just like the earth or nobody will travel there.
LQ: Can you imagine how that’ll be achieved?
WH: Yes, I think so. The atmosphere’s too hot and has no oxygen. So people couldn’t breathe Mars’ air and live. We’ll make a covered area for people to live in with a special air supply.
LQ: Is it likely you can find and use water to keep the climate similar to that on the earth?
WH: Perhaps. We hope there’s water under the planet’s surface. People will have to collect all the used water so it can be cleaned and recycled as rain. Then it can be used again to water plants and crops and provide clean drinking water.
LQ: Yes. I suppose everyone will have to put their dirty water in special tanks. Even animals will have to be trained to go to the toilet in special places.
WH: Yes, I suppose so.
LQ: So is it likely that bacteria will clean the water?
WH: Well, that’s a possibility.
LQ: I wonder if the houses can be made strong enough against the gravity on Mars?
WH: Yes, they can. The robots will provide special building material.
LQ: Still life sounds quite uncomfortable. So what’s the advantage of going to live on Mars?
WH: There will be opportunities for scien-
tific work and to look for gold or other metals. So people may become rich or famous.
LQ: How healthy will the people be, I wonder?

Suggested answers to Exercise 2:
1 “Wonderworld” will provide a covered area for people to live in with a special air supply.
2 “Wonderworld” will make sure there is enough water by collecting some from under the planet’s surface. After use, this water will be cleaned and recycled so that it can be used as rain to water drops and provide clean drinking water. Everyone will put their dirty water in special tanks and animals will have to go to the toilet in special places. Bacteria will clean this dirty water so it can be used again.
3 People may become rich or famous.
4 I think the people will be quite healthy as they have a satisfactory climate, enough water and sufficient accommodation to live comfortably.

town will have one thousand years in the future?
S2: Is it possible life will be better than it is now?
S1: Yes, of course. Probably everyone will be more comfortable. They’ll be provided technological improvements and the robots.
S2: Oh I see. Is it possible that people will have solved the problems of today—global warming, air and water pollution, etc?
S1: Most likely they will. For example, dirty air. It would be easy to solve that. All you would need to do is build a cover over the city. All the air inside would be kept clean.
S2: That sounds fine but is it likely the temperature will be too hot for us to live on the earth?
S1: Maybe, but I’m sure someone will have invented clothes with cooling systems fitted into them. Perhaps everyone will have a machine which pushes water round the body and keeps you cool.
S2: Wow! Can you imagine what life will be like when the energy runs out?
S1: Oh, that will be solved by using the energy from the sun.Don’t worry. I’m sure we’d enjoy a visit if we could ever visit the future! And now we’ve had our four questions. Let’s find another pair to discuss their questions.
Sample writing:
The benefits and problems of living
one thousand years in the future
I think there will be more benefits than problems living in the future. Of course things will be different and there may be many problems.
If there is dirty air we will solve that by placing a cover over our hometown. That way we can clean the air as it enters the town, and keep out all the dust and dirt.
If it is too hot people will be provided with suits fitted with cooling systems. That way they will keep cool all the time.
As for the problem of the energy running out that we face today. That will be solved by using the energy from the sun to run all the electrical plants as well as cars. Luckily it will be endless clean energy!
So we think that life in the future will be much better than it is now.

S3: But when Li Ming checked his alibi he found the man was lying. Good—a great scoop.
S1: Right. So what should our heading be?
S4: Can it be “A film star caught unexpectedly?”
S3: Yes and the sub-heading could be “Did he need the money?”
S2: So let’s begin. Let’s write our ideas down first and then we will be ready to do the article.
Sample article:
A Film Star Caught Unexpectedly
Did he need the money?
There has been a strange happening in a downtown shopping area. It has been said that a famous film star, Wang Ping, was caught stealing a gold necklace yesterday. He went into a shop and when the jeweler turned his back Wang Ping took the necklace and ran out of the shop. The shopkeeper shouted and a crowd of people gathered. The police went to Wang Ping’s home and questioned him. He denied he had stolen the necklace and told them he had enough money to buy the necklace anyway. He said he had been at a restaurant with his wife. But a reporter, Li Ming, found this was untrue. So the police are treating this case seriously.

CAN I HELP YOU?
Zhou Yang (ZY) is hoping to interview Liu Ming, a famous tennis player, about his decision to work abroad. So he calls Liu Ming’s assistant, Lily Wong (LM), to make an appointment.
Part 1
(Telephone ringing)
LW: Hello. This is Lily Wong, Liu Ming’s assistant. Can I help you?
ZY: Hello. I’d like to speak to Liu Ming please.
LM: I’m sorry but he’s busy now. Who’s speaking?
ZY: This is Zhou Yang from China Daily. I’d like to interview Liu Ming about his decision to play professional tennis abroad.
LW: It’ll be difficult. You know that he’s leaving Beijing at the end of this week.
ZY: Well, I’m free tomorrow afternoon and all of Wednesday.
LW: OK. Now, let me see...Liu Ming’s going to see his family tomorrow and then talk to some students on Wednesday morning. Then at four o’clock he’ll go to a special party given by the leaders of our city. What about meeting his in the early afternoon?
ZY: How about over lunch? Our readers will be very interested in his views.
LW: Hmm... I know that he’s very happy about going abroad and hopes to return to China in a few years. Then he wants to improve Chinese tennis.
Part 2
ZY: Many of his fans will be sorry not to see him play in person. Watching him on TV is not quite the same.
LW: Yes, I understand, but he needs to develop his skills. On TV you can still enjoy his play.
ZY: What if he never comes home? We’ll have lost a great sportsman.
LW: I don’t think that he’ll stay abroad. He says that he has no intention of doing that.
ZY: I’m glad to hear that. But what if he gets a wonderful offer to stay?
LW: I think you’ll have to discuss that with him yourself.
ZY: So will 12 o’clock be OK? Where would be the best place to meet?
LW: Why not meet at the Garden Hotel at 12 o’clock. I’ll put it in his diary for Wednesday so he’s sure to come.
ZY: Thank you so much. Goodbye.
LW: Goodbye.

Sample dialogue for Exercise 5:
S1: Hello. I’d like to speak to Li Feizhou. I’m the photographer ringing him to make an appointment for some photographs for Cool Scene magazine. Is it possible to meet him tomorrow?
S2: Hello. Perhaps I can help. I’m Li Feizhou’s secretary. I’m afraid he can only meet you tomorrow afternoon as he has a haircut in the morning. Is that OK?
S1: Oh dear. I was hoping he would be free in the morning as I have another appointment then. It should only take two hours. Maybe we could meet before or after his appointment?
S2: Yes. That might be possible. But he’s busy between 9:00 and 10:30 and then between 11:30 and 1:00 but he might be free for an hour between 10:30 and 11:30.
S1: I don’t think that’s long enough. Could he change his other appointment to another day?
S2: I don’t think so.
S1: Then could he be free at 10:00? We could do the photographs and I would still be on time for my next appointment.
S2: That sounds possible. I’ll ask him. What would he need to wear?
S1: Some comfortable clothes would be best.
S2: Fine. I’ll talk to him and call you again very soon. Where would it be best to meet?
S1: At the studio if that is OK with you. Thank you very much.
S2: My pleasure.
Unit 5
COMPREHENDING
Answer key for Exercise 1:
3 the three types of burns
5 what to do if someone gets burnt
1 the functions of skin
4 the symptoms of burns
2 how we get burns
Answer key for Exercise 2:
A second degree burn B first degree burn
C third degree burn
Answer key for Exercise 3:
1 Because the cold water stops the burning process, stops the pain and reduces the swelling.
2 Because in a third degree burn the nerves have been damaged. If there are no nerves, there is no pain.
3 Because bacteria from the clothes and jewellery could infect the burns.
4 Because all the layers of the skin have been burnt showing the tissue underneath.
Answer key for Exercise 4:
1 Wrong: Sam should not have broken the blisters because the burns could become infected. He should have poured cool water, not icy water on the burn. The correct treatment for a second degree burn like Sam’s is described in No 2 of the exercise.
2 Right.
3 Wrong: Mr Casey was right to take his wife’s blouse off but he should not have picked bits of blouse off the burn. This is because if you pull material that is stuck off a third degree burn like Mrs Casey’s, you would pull the tissue under the material off too. This would cause more damage to the burn. He should not have put butter on the burn because it would have stopped the heat from escaping and it might also cause the burn to become infected. He should not have put a wet bandage on the burn. The correct first aid treatment for a third degree burn is to remove clothing and jewellery near the burn but not if the clothing is stuck to the burn. Do not put cold water on the burn. Place clean, dry cloths over the damaged area. Get the person to a hospital at once.
4 Right.

A FIRST AID QUIZ
The first aid teacher(T) is testing her students knowledge of first aid. Listen to her question and her students’ answers.
T=teacher S=Sarah P=Peter
R=Rachel J=Jim G=Gary
Part 1
T: We’ve looked at several first aid treatments. Now let’t see just what you can remember. OK. Let’s say Lucy has a nosebleed. What should she do...Sarah?
S: Sit down and bend forward slightly. Squeeze her nose just below the bridge until the bleeding stops.
T: Why should she lean forward?
P: So she gets the blood all over the floor instead of on her clothes.(everyone laughs)
T: Very funny, Peter. Rachel?
R: So the blood runs out of her nose and not down her throat. If you swallow blood you might be sick.(everyone groans)
T: That’s right.
Part 2
T:OK, next situation. What should you do if someone’s clothes are on fire? Jim?
J: Stop him from running around, as that makes clothes burn faster. Tell him to drop to the floor and cover him up tightly
with some thick cloth.
T: And then what?
J: Roll on the ground until the fire goes out. Then treat him for burns.
T: Good.
Part 3
T: OK, what about this one? What if your friend got a piece of food caught in his throat and he’s choking? Gary?
G: Nothing. But if he can’t cough, I’d bend him forwards and give him four quick hard slaps between his shoulder blades with my hand.
T: Yes, that should do the trick.
Part 4
T: Now Peter, what if Ben badly sprained his ankle playing football?
P: I’d get him to sit down and put some ice on his ankle to reduce the swelling. Then I’d tell him to put his foot up on a chair. Then I’d bandage up his ankle tightly.
T: Great. Now let’s talk about snake bites. What if a snake bites you?
P: Bite it back!(everyone laughs)
T: Thank you, Peter.(said with amused tolerance) Now the first thing remember is...(fading out)
