Nowadays solar energy is widely used as an alternative form of power. Solar panels transform
the energy from the sun into electricity. The first plane that does not need fuel was constructed
in France, in 2015. It uses only the sun's energy. The panels are placed on the huge wings of the
plane. It doesn’t fly very fast. Solar energy can make the plane move at only 140 miles an hour.
However, the plane is able to travel round the world. It is safe and can successfully cross areas
of bad weather. In the future, engineers hope to construct a model that people can fly in. Our
dream of environmentally friendly transport may come true very soon. Would you like to take a
flight on the solar plane?

We are always told that we should clean our teeth regularly to keep them healthy and to have
fresh breath. It is believed that people started using a kind of paste to clean their teeth around
5000 years ago. However, the ingredients of these tooth powders were very different from ours.
For example, the people of ancient Egypt used salt, mint, dried flowers and pepper to create
tooth powder. Later, in the 18th century, in some countries in Europe, people brushed their teeth
with burnt bread. The first toothpaste appeared in 1890, in Great Britain. At first it was sold in
jars. Then special tubes were designed to make the toothpaste more comfortable to use.

Do you know why it is hot in the summer and cold in the winter? Most people believe that it is
because the Earth is closer to the Sun in the summer and farther from it in the winter. But it is
not like this at all! In fact, the distance between the Earth and the Sun is largest in July and
smallest in January! Scientists suggest that the reason for different summer and winter
temperatures is the angle of the Sun’s rays. In the summer, the rays reach the Earth almost at a
right angle. Due to this, the rays are not spread out and a smaller area of the planet's surface gets
the energy. In the winter, the angle changes and the Sun’s rays are spread out over a larger area.
Besides this, the long nights and short days do not give enough time for the land to warm up.

A robot is a machine that does work for people. The word ‘robot’ appeared in the 1920s and it
was first used in a science fiction story. In real life, the robot was invented later, in 1954. There
are different kinds of robots which are used in different industries. Most of them are operated
with the help of a computer program. Instead of humans, robots do hard and boring work in
unpleasant or dangerous environments. They usually work faster and more accurately than
people. They never get tired and do not make mistakes. Nowadays robots are often used for
domestic needs – to clean houses or to look after sick and elderly people. Scientists say that
soon robots will become a normal part of our life, like mobiles and computers today.

Nowadays people can’t imagine their kitchen without a refrigerator. The first refrigerators
appeared at the end of the 18th century. They looked different: they were just iceboxes. The
refrigerators of the past were just wooden boxes, sometimes lined inside with metal. People put
ice into the box and then placed the food inside to keep it cool. The refrigerator, similar to the
one that we have now, was produced by General Electric in 1911, in France. It was very
expensive. In those days, with the same money you could buy two cars. Today, in developed
countries almost every family has enough money to buy a refrigerator for their kitchen. It’s hard
to imagine how difficult and uncomfortable our lives would be without a refrigerator.

Without the energy from the Sun, the Earth would have no life at all. Nowadays everyone
knows that the Sun is a star. Like all stars, the Sun is a great burning ball of gases. To us, it
seems large and red. The other stars look white or light blue because they are much farther from
us than the Sun. In the past, many people believed that the Earth was the centre of the universe.
They thought that the Sun and the stars went round it. Only in 1543, a great Polish scientist
published a book in which he tried to prove a different point of view. According to him, the
Earth and the other planets moved round the Sun. Those people who supported the scientist
were often imprisoned and even killed.

The carrot is a root vegetable which consists mostly of water and sugar. The carrots that we eat
today originated from the wild ones which grew in Europe and Asia. The vegetable tasted sweet
and the people began to use it as food.
There are two main types of carrots. There are eastern carrots that have dark purple roots and
western carrots with orange roots. In fact, orange carrots first appeared in Europe in 1721.
Dutch farmers selected orange carrots because orange is the colour of the Dutch Royal Family.
Now orange carrots are widely grown all over the world. In modern households carrots are
cooked and eaten in different ways. The vegetable is boiled, fried, baked and eaten raw. People
also make juice from it.

Since 2007 high-speed trains have become a common type of transport in Europe. They make it
possible to cut travel times by hours. The trains travel at 350 kilometres an hour, and this is not
the limit! The only problem for the engineers is the loud noise the trains produce. People living
in the areas the trains travel through suffer from the noise greatly. For the passengers, the
situation is different. For their comfort, all the carriages are made sound-proof from the inside.
Travelling on high-speed trains is comfortable and pleasant. In the future, a high-speed railroad
network could cover most of Europe. For example, a trip from Paris to Rome could take only 3
hours!

Venus is one of the hottest planets in the Solar system. The temperature on its surface is 482
degrees. This unfriendly place looks much the same as the Earth 4 billion years ago. Both
planets were formed from the same gas cloud but Venus lost most of its water and atmosphere.
This happened because the planet turns very slowly. As a result, now it has no magnetic field to
protect it from the Sun's winds. The planet has turned into a lifeless desert. Most space modules
that were sent to Venus, could not work on the planet more than two hours. The acidic clouds
and high pressure quickly made them absolutely useless.

Studies of the atmosphere first received technical support in 1912. Equipment to measure
temperature and pressure was invented in Germany. But the question was how to raise it high
into the air. In 1921, Russian engineers suggested using planes. The special equipment was put
on planes that made regular flights. Thanks to this, scientists got a lot of new information about
the structure of the atmosphere. Nowadays scientists use modern flying laboratories to study the
structure of clouds at different levels. Unlike the first planes, these laboratories can work in any
weather and are able to predict climate changes.

Wombats are exotic animals that only live in Australia. They have become an unofficial symbol
of the country. In 1974 a wombat appeared on an Australian stamp for the first time. Since then
it has been regularly used on different Australian stamps and coins. Wombats look like little
bears and prefer grass to meat. They also love eating berries, plant roots and mushrooms. Like
camels, wombats drink little water because there is enough water in fresh grass. Wombats spend
most of their life in holes under the ground. With their strong arms and long nails they are able
to dig very long and complex tunnels. Fortunately, wombats have few enemies in the animal
world. Most wombats live around 15 years.

The word ‘tsunami’ can be translated from Japanese as ‘big wave’. It describes a natural process
that can be dangerous for people and their homes. Most of the huge waves appear after
earthquakes. Most waves are born in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans where volcanoes are
active. The mass of water rises from the bottom of the ocean and moves to the shore. It moves
at the speed of a plane and can be up to 40 meters high. The wave is very powerful and
dangerous. In 2004, a tsunami happened in the Indian Ocean. It was one of most terrible natural
disasters in history. It hit 14 countries bordering the Indian Ocean. Thousands of people were
killed or went missing.

Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales. It is located in a national park. It stands at 1085
metres above sea level, and it is often described as the busiest mountain in Great Britain.
Snowdon is very popular with tourists. If you are strong and brave enough to get to the top, you
can enjoy wonderful views from there. On a clear day, you can see as far as Ireland! During the
summer months there is a café at the top. There, tourists can get a welcome cup of tea, or soup
if the weather is cold. If you feel too tired to walk back, you can always take the train down the
mountain. The mountain railway was built in 1896. It is safe, and there have never been any
accidents on this route.

Most people enjoy watching the night sky. And the brightest object in the sky is the Moon.
Every night the Moon rises in the East and sets in the West. It takes about 27 days to go around
the Earth, and it’s an interesting fact that we always see the same side of the Moon. The Moon
is the closest object to the Earth. It would take us only 13 hours to get to the Moon by rocket. If
we were able to travel at the speed of light, it would take a bit less than two seconds.
There is a very thin atmosphere on the Moon. Life is not possible there. In spite of this, the
Moon can be used as a base for space exploration and even for space tourism. Some space
companies say that they will be able to take tourists to the Moon as soon as in 2020.

People have always wanted to discover new things and new worlds. We have built spaceships to
go to other planets and are planning to visit other galaxies one day. Meanwhile, we know very
little about our own planet. The oceans, which cover 70 percent of the planet, are an unknown
world to us. The Pacific Ocean is the largest one. The lowest point on the Earth is also there. It
is called Challenger Deep and it was discovered in 1875. The Pacific Ocean stretches from the
Arctic Ocean to the coast of Antarctica, but most of its water is in the warm tropics, which
makes it warm. A lot of fish and animals live in the Pacific Ocean. The place is still waiting for
researchers to discover its secrets for us.

The Arctic Ocean is the smallest ocean of the world. It covers the northern polar region of the
Earth. The Arctic region is a very cold place. The lowest recorded temperature there is minus 68
degrees. In spite of the cold, a lot of animals live on the Arctic ice. The polar bear is one of
them. Now, due to global warming, the polar bear is in a serious trouble. The thing is that polar
bears hunt seals and they need ice to do this. The bears wait for seals on the ice, hunt them in
the water and go back to the shore. If the ice is too thin, it breaks under the bears’ heavy bodies
and they may drown. The situation is getting worse and some researchers say the ocean may
become ice-free as soon as 2050.

In 1642 a French student invented the first mechanical calculator. He was only 18 and the
counting machine was a present for his father. The father worked as a tax collector and the
young man wanted to make his job easier.
The talented inventor made several machines but nobody was interested. The young man was
ahead of his time. Many years passed before people realized how useful these machines could
be and started mass producing them.
Today most mechanical calculators have been replaced with electronic models. These small
devices can perform a lot of mathematical operations. You just need to enter the numbers by
pressing the keys and you’ll see the final result on the screen in no time.

One day a young man who lived near the lake in a small American town asked himself, “Why
can’t people ski on water if they can ski on snow?” With his brother’s help he constructed
several models of skis to test his ideas. He experimented on the local lake for a few days and
created skis suitable for the water. This happened in 1922. The young man, who was only 18 at
that time, didn’t patent his invention. However, he performed a lot of shows across the country
that made him and the sport of water skiing popular. Later, he was recognized as the creator of a
new sport – water skiing.
Water skiing equipment has been greatly improved since that time, and the number of people
who enjoy this sport is growing in many countries.

The ninth planet of the solar system was discovered not long ago. It happened in 1930.
Scientists had been hunting for the planet for a long time. They had calculated its probable
position but there was no proof that the planet really existed. It was too far away for the
telescopes of that time to find it. It’s worth mentioning that the first photos of the planet were
taken by a very young researcher. He was only twenty-four and had no formal education in
astronomy. However he was deeply involved in the search for the ninth planet. The planet at the
edge of the solar system was called Pluto, after the Roman god. The name for the planet was
suggested by an 11-year-old British girl.
