fog
Fogconsists of tiny drops (droplets) of water
in the air close to the ground. These drops form
when moist air, containing a lot of water vapour,
is suddenly cooled. Cool air cannot hold as much
water vapour as warm air, and so the water
vapour in the air condenses. Thin fog, in which
the visibility is greater than one kilometre, is
known as mist. Fog which contains smoke and
pollution is known as smog.

Famous Books in Science
Integration and Equation
This book, written in the ninth century by the Arab
mathematician al-Khwarizmi, is one of the most
important works in the field of mathematics. In
Integration and Equation, al-Khwarizmi described
equations, algebraic multiplication and division,
measurement of surfaces and other questions. The term
algebra, in fact, comes from the title of the book in
Arabic Al-Jabr wa-al-Muqabilah. The book was
translated into Latin and was used until the sixteenth
century as the principal textbook in European
universities.
Philosophia Botanica
Carolus Linnaeus was one of the worlds most important
biologists. He was born in Sweden in 1707 and from an
early age began to learn about nature from his father. He
wrote several books on botany, including Philosophia
Botanica, his most influential book, which was published
in 1751. Linnaeus devised a system for classifying plants
using a binomial system the genus and the species.
This is the same system which is used today.
Book of Roger
The Book of Roger (Al-Kitab al-Rujari) was written by
the famous Arab geographer and cartographer al-Idrisi
in the twelfth century. Al-Idrisi was educated in
Cordoba, but travelled to many distant places to collect
data. The King of Sicily, Roger II, asked al-Idrisi to
produce an up-to-date map of the world. Al-Idrisi
produced a globe showing the seven continents of the
world on a ball of silver weighing 400 kilograms. The
Book of Roger was written to accompany this globe.
The Principia
Sir Isaac Newton is considered to be one of the most
famous names in science. He was born in England in
1642 and studied at the University of Cambridge. His
best known book was Philosophiae Naturalis Principia
Mathematica, published in 1687. In it he described his
discovery of universal gravitation, which explains that all
bodies in space and on Earth are affected by a force
called gravity. The publication of this book was a
turning point in the history of science.
The Starry Messenger
Galileo was a famous Italian physicist and astronomer,
born in Pisa in Italy in 1564. He was one of the most
influential scientists in history. Using his powerful
telescope, Galileo studied the moon, the planets and the
stars of the Milky Way. He adopted the Copernican
theory that the Earth revolves around the sun. Galileo
explained the results of his findings in the book The
Starry Messenger, which was published in 1610.
Title: The Canon of Medicine
(Kitab al-Qanun fi al-tibb)
Author: (Ibn Sina) Avicenna famous
physician and Muslim philosopher
Born: Bukhoro, Central Asia AD 980
Died: 1037

My uncle looked at me with a proud and triumphant glance. A crater, he said.
Do you hear? I did hear, but I was totally unable to make a reply. The crater of
Mount Sneffels was an inverted cone, the gaping hole half a mile across; the depth
indefinite feet. What must this hole have been like when full of flame and thunder
and lightning? The bottom of the funnel-shaped hollow was about five hundred
feet in circumference, by which it will be seen that the slope from the summit to the
bottom was very gradual. We were therefore clearly able to get there without much
fatigue or difficulty. I compared this crater to an enormous loaded cannon; the
comparison completely terrified me. Descending into the interior of a cannon, I thought to myself,
when it could go off at the least shock, is the act of a madman. I felt like the lamb led to the slaughter.

Unit 6 43
Injuries to the knee Injuries to the knee
The knee is the strong hinge joint between the thigh-bone (femur) and
shin-bone (tibia). It is capable of bending and straightening and, in the
bent position, of slightly rotating. The knee-joint is supported by strong
muscles and ligaments. The ligaments are attached to the thigh-bone,
the shin-bone and the smaller splint-bone (fibula). In front it is protected
by a disc of bone, the knee-cap (patella). Any of these structures may be
damaged by direct blows, violent twists or strains. For example, among
footballers a torn ligament is a very common injury. If the knee has been
injured, there may be pain and swelling around the knee.

The map shows us that most of Africa below the Sahara Desert is
affected by malaria. The exception is South Africa and parts of
Namibia in the south west, which are free of the disease. The North
African countries are also generally free of malaria. Moving east
there is an area of malaria around the coasts of the Arabian
Peninsula along the Red Sea coast and through Yemen and Oman.
Parts of Iraq and the south of Iran are also affected. Moving further
into Asia, we can see that most of India and Pakistan are affected. Also
the countries of South-East Asia Burma,
Malaysia, Thailand and the islands of
Indonesia and Borneo, have malaria.
Australia, however, down here in the far
south-east, is not affected. Moving to the
western hemisphere, we can see that North
America is not affected. It has no malarial
regions. But parts of Central America are
affected. Also, the northern countries in
South America are affected by malaria in
particular the area of the Amazon.
Countries in the far south of South America,
such as Argentina and Chile, do not have
malaria.

Lesson 8: Scientifc English
Subject survey The Importance of Greek History of Scientifc Language
Science Journals English and Law Facts about English
Since the Second World War, many scientific
journals have started to publish in English instead
of in the national language. For example, the
Mexican journal Archivos de Investigacion
Medica was originally published in Spanish. Later,
abstracts of each article were introduced in
English. Then, articles appeared in Spanish with a
complete English translation. Finally, the journal
was published entirely in English and had an
American editor. The name of the journal has
changed to Archives of Medical Research. This
language shift has also occurred in other
countries. In France, for example, a survey in the
1980s showed that nearly two-thirds of
publications by French scientists were in English.
Some science subjects have been more affected
than others by this shift towards English. The
table shows the results of a survey of German
academics. Over 98% of the German academics in
the field of physics claimed that English was their
working language. Other pure sciences, such as
chemistry and biology, also had high scores
in the survey. On the other hand, subjects such
as law, theology, classics and history used English
much less frequently. Will this situation continue?
Or, like Latin 300 years ago, will it be replaced by
another language of science?
If a scientist in Libya wants to communicate with a
scientist in Japan, which language will they
communicate in? The answer is probably in
English. Does this mean that English is becoming
the international language of science and
technology? Just consider these facts. Eighty per
cent of science books and journals throughout the
world are published in English. Many scientific
conferences in non-English-speaking countries are
being conducted in English. Eighty per cent of
information stored in the worlds computers is in
English. Most communication on the Internet,
widely used by scientists, is in English. Statistics do
seem to suggest that English is, in fact, the new
scientific lingua franca.
English, however, has not always been dominant in
science. In earlier periods in history, Greek, Arabic,
Latin and German have at one time or another
been the leading language of science. English became
important in the seventeenth century with the rise
of British science. Scientific publications in English,
such as Philosophical Transactions produced by the
Royal Society in London, were read throughout the
world scientific community. But the position was
soon lost to German, which became the dominant
language of science until the First World War in
1914. After the war, the growing influence of the
United States made sure that English once again
become the most important language in scientific
publishing.

Detective: You havent spoken to anyone else about it?
Abdullah: Let me think. No No, I havent.
Detective: Who do you think killed Hassan?
Abdullah: I dont know. There were a lot of people who
didnt like him.
Detective: Hmmm. I dont understand how the killer did
it. I mean, Hassan was a big man. A strong
man. Why didnt he defend himself?
Abdullah: Well, he probably didnt see the killer.
Detective: How can you be sure of that?
Abdullah: Well, the knife was in his back, wasnt it? So
the killer must have stabbed him from behind.
Detective: Thats true
Part 3

Radio: Here is the weather forecast for the weekend,
followed by the outlook for the next week.
Listener: Lets listen.
Radio: The weather on Thursday will be similar to
today cloudy in most parts of the country
with thunderstorms and heavy rain in some
mountain areas.
Listeners: Oh no. What a pity.
Radio: There is a risk of flash floods in wadis and
some roads may be closed at wadi crossings.
Listener: How annoying!
Radio: However, coastal areas in the north will have
clear skies in the afternoon with little or no wind.
Listener: Oh good! Thats better.
Radio: Friday should be a mostly dry day, but there
may be a few showers on the south coast.
Temperatures on Thursday and Friday will be
between 20 and 24 degrees Centigrade, which
is average for this time of year. The outlook
for next week temperatures will begin to rise,
and a long period of dry weather is expected.
Listener: OK, what shall we do on Thursday?
Part 2
Radio: Good evening. Well, the high winds that weve
been having for the last few days are still
coming in from the northwest, bringing very
cold weather across the Atlantic from Canada.
Listener: Oh no!
Radio: This means another very cold day tomorrow,
especially in northern and northwestern parts
of the country, where temperatures will reach
a maximum of three degrees in the daytime,
dropping to minus three at night in the north
and west, and minus one in the southeast.
Listener: What terrible weather!
Radio: There will be snow in the north during the night
and more rain in the south, so drivers should
expect ice on the roads in the early morning.
There will be high winds on the north coast,
Tapescript

and there is a storm warning for ships in these
areas. Friday will be very similar to Thursday,
with more rain and snow on high ground.
Listener: More rain. How boring!
Radio: The outlook for Saturday and Sunday is
better, with the wind coming from the
southwest and bringing warmer weather with
it. The rain, however, is likely to continue for
a few more days.
Listener: More rain. I dont believe it. Whens it going
to stop?

Part 1
Announcer: You can easily reduce the effects of jet lag by
following four simple steps during your flight.
First, change the time on your watch. Soon
after take-off, set your watch to the time at
your destination. Dont wait until you arrive
at your destination; do it before you arrive.
This will help you to start adjusting to the
new time.
Sitting in one position for many hours can add
to the feeling of tiredness when you arrive. To
avoid this, do exercises on the plane: do leg
exercises, stretching and bending your legs like
this ; stretch and bend your arms, like this
; move your head slowly in different
directions, like this ; exercise your back, your
neck and your abdomen, like this You can
do all these exercises without leaving your seat.
Eat light food. Heavy food, like steak, is not so
good before and during the flight. This is because
your body has to adjust to a new pattern, and big
heavy meals make that job harder.
Finally, during your flight, drink plenty of
water and soft drinks. The atmosphere on
planes is dry, so its important to keep up the
level of fluids in your body.
Part 2
Announcer: Now, here is some advice for reducing jet lag
when you arrive at your destination. When you
arrive, try to adjust to the new pattern. If its
daytime, but night-time back home, you may
want to sleep. But the golden rule is: dont sleep
in the day; wait until night. If you do this,
youll sleep better at night and feel fresher the
next day. Its better not to drink coffee in the
evening. Coffee in the daytime is fine, but not
in the evening, because coffee keeps you awake
and a good nights sleep will help to minimize
the effects of jet lag. Its a good idea to take
some exercise on your first day. This will make
you feel better after your long flight, and will
help you to sleep on your first night. You can
help your body clock to adjust quickly if you
use the light in your environment. For your
body clock, light means day and dark means
night, so you should go out and get plenty of
sunlight during the day, but avoid bright lights
at night.
CS5
1. Dont wait until you arrive. Do it before you
arrive.
2. Dont sleep in the day. Wait until night.
3. Eat light food. Heavy food is not good.
4. Light means day, and dark means night.

Part 1
A: Have you heard of the Not Very Good Club?
B: The what?
A: The Not Very Good Club.
B: No. What is it?
A: Well, its a club that was started a few years
ago in Britain. It was for people who are not
very good at something.
B: What sort of thing?
A: Anything. They had a not very good artist,
somebody who couldnt sing very well, a
fisherman who couldnt catch fish lots of
people like that.
B: This is true, is it?
A: Yes. Really, its true.
B: How many people were in the club?
A: Well, it started with 20 members in London.
They had their first meeting in a not very good
restaurant in London. After that, lots more
people joined the club. They put on a concert
where everybody played a musical instrument
badly. And they had an art exhibition where
they showed not very good paintings.
Part 2
B: Is the club still going?
A: No. It went on for three years, but in the end,
they had to close it.
B: Why? Did everyone get bored with it?
A: Oh no. On the contrary, it became too
successful.
B: What do you mean?
A: Well, unfortunately, the club became famous.
They had applications from 20,000 people.
B: From how many people?
A: Twenty thousand.
B: Wasnt that good?
A: Yes, it was good, but the club was supposed
to be not very good.
B: Oh. I see. If the club had had 20,000
members, it would have been a good club. It
wouldnt have been a not very good club.
A: Thats right. So they decided to close the club.
B: Ha! Thats crazy!

Part 1
Jenny: Have you read this book?
Zahra: Let me see Oh yes. Its very famous. Of
course, I read it in Arabic. Thats an English
translation.
Jenny: Whats it about?
Zahra: Its about an Egyptian family in Cairo in the
early part of the twentieth century.
Jenny: Is that when it was written?
Zahra: No, it was written in the 1950s, I think.
Anyway, this family theyre a traditional
Muslim family, but life around them is
changing fast, so, I suppose the books really
about um I dont know how to explain it
um old ideas and new ideas.
Jenny: Ah. Tradition and change.
Zahra: Yes. The conflict between tradition and
change.
Jenny: Is it fiction or non-fiction?
Zahra: Fiction.
Jenny: Who are the main characters?
Zahra: Well, theres the father. He enjoys life and has
a good time, but hes very strict with his
family. He has three sons, who are all very
different. And then there are the mother and
the girls, who never go out of the house.
Thats the way it was in those days.
Part 2
Jenny: So what happens? Whats the story?
Zahra: Well, it has all the usual family dramas:
marriages, births, a divorce and a death. So
its the story of this family. But at the same
time, its a story of political and social change.
So you get a wonderful picture of life at that
time.
Jenny: It sounds interesting.
Zahra: And you understand the characters and their
problems. The girls, for example. On the one
hand, the girls love their father, so they obey
him, but on the other hand, they are like
prisoners in the house and they want a better
life. So they have to work out this problem.
Jenny: And what happens in the end? Does it have a
happy ending or a sad ending?
Zahra: I cant tell you that! Read it and find out!
Jenny: Do you think Id enjoy it?
Zahra: Oh yes. Its brilliantly written; and its
interesting to see what life was like in those
days. Its well worth reading.
Jenny: Okay, Ill buy it.

Part 1
Narrator: The most common cause of choking is food.
You know the feeling. You put something in
your mouth and suddenly youre coughing.
Usually its not a serious emergency, but
sometimes the victim cant breathe. If that
happens, the victim will die unless you act
quickly. Food is not the only cause. Children
put toys and other small objects in their mouths,
and these can cause choking, too. Never allow
babies and infants to play with small objects.
If you find someone who is unconscious, how
do you know that he has choked? Well, if you
find the victim near food, then choking is a
possibility. Another sign is face colour. If his
face is blue, that means that hes not breathing
properly, so again, choking is a possibility.
Part 2
Narrator: If a small child is choking, pick him up by the
feet. Hold him upside down and slap his back.
Slap him between the shoulders three or four
times. Do it quite hard, but be careful not to
hurt him. Always use the soft, flat part of your
hand. This method usually clears the throat.
If this doesnt work, you should sit the child
facing away from you. Put your hands around
him so that two fingers of your left hand meet
two fingers of your right hand. The fingers should
meet just above his navel. Dont use more than
two fingers. Press gently, but firmly upwards. One
or two quick presses should clear the throat. If a
small child is unconscious, lie him on his back.
Put the tips of two fingers of each hand just above
his navel. Press gently but firmly upwards. One or
two quick presses should be enough. Make sure
you clear his mouth afterwards. Use your finger
for this. When the child is conscious, give him
some water to drink. Never give water to
someone who is unconscious.

1. English, for me, is very important indeed. Im
a doctor working in India. English is
important for me because its the international
language of medical science. If I want to keep
up to date with the latest techniques and
products, I must be able to read and
understand English. English is one of the
official languages of India, so I learnt it in
school, but I have to read regularly to keep up
my knowledge of vocabulary.
2. English is important for me in my work. Im an
engineer from Libya, and right now Im working
on a very big engineering project. In fact, the
project is so big that we use a lot of foreign
workers as well as Libyans. There are some from
Europe and some from Asia. I dont speak their
languages, and they dont speak Arabic, so we
have to communicate in English. The project
would be impossible without a common language.
3. Im a secretary and I live in Cairo, so my first
language is Arabic. When I left school, I got a
job in an office in Cairo and I went to English
classes in the evenings. I did that for a year
and I passed an exam at the end. My salary
was nearly ten times higher than it was before
I learned English. I use English for translating
documents and writing letters, and sometimes
I have to answer the telephone in English. I
enjoy my work and I earn good money, so
thats why English is important for me.
4. Well, my country, Denmark, is a very small
country, and nobody else speaks Danish, so if
we didnt learn English, wed have nobody to
talk to! Danes like to travel and talk to people
from other countries. Danish and English are
similar in some ways, so learning English is not
difficult at all, and nearly everyone in Denmark
speaks English well. There arent many books
or magazines in my language, so its good to
read foreign books and magazines. I like to
understand the words of songs when I hear
them on the radio too. Im a student, so I also
need to read English for my studies.
