The moon
1. The moon is the only astronomical body whose distance from the Earth can be
 measured in thousands of kilometers. Long before the dawn of written history the Moon
 was paid much attention to by man who was interested and attracted by the presence in
 the sky of a planet that was so clearly seen from the Earth.
2. In the middle ages the moon was supposed to have a smooth crystalline surface like
 a mirror and that the dark spots on the Moon were accounted for1 by the fact that the
 Earth was reflected on its surface. However, with the help of the first little telescope that
 was turned by Galileo upon the Moon this conception was put an end2 to as early as3
1609. Galileo thought that he saw mountains and valleys, seas and continents on the
 Moon.
3. The view of the Moon has been obtained with the help of a series of automatic lunar
 stations named "Luna".
4. Having been transmitted by these stations, the photos and panoramas have shown
 that the surface of the Moon is uneven and rugged, with many hills and cavities like
 volcanic craters, a few of them measuring some kilometers in diameter. A great number
 of stones lying on the Moon's surface proved the lunar ground to be firm enough and it
 would not sink if it were stepped on, walked across or put some heavy weight upon.
 Man's knowledge of the Moon is rapidly progressing, new data being constantly
 reported.
5. The mutual attraction of the Moon and the Earth for one another is accounted for by
 the force of gravitation. American astronauts landed on the Moon and brought
 specimens of Moon rock and a series of photographs for further study.

Electronics
1. То separate electronics from the concepts of electricity is extremely difficult. The
 field of electricity is generally concerned with magnetism, light, heating and the
 production of electricity by generators and chemical action.
2. Electronics usually deals with the application of electricity in communications, in
 radio, television and other devices where vacuum tubes1 and transistors are employed.
 We know the vacuum tube and the transistor to be major components of various
 electronic devices.
3. The many disadvantages of vacuum tubes include high cost, bulky construction,
 high amount of operating current2, limited life and high operating temperature. However
 the vacuum tube is ideal in many situations where electrical energy is readily available
 and where heat is no problem.
4. A more recent invention - the transistor is known to have replaced the vacuum tube
 in many situations. The transistor operates on a minimum amount of electrical energy,
 emits very little heat and has a long life. The transistor is tiny compared to the size of
 the vacuum tube of equivalent energy output. This feature has permitted an electronic
 circuit to be so small that the electronic technician uses magnifying lenses to aid him in
 his circuit construction and repair.
5. Later research has revealed a device which has revolutionized the field of transistor,
 Lew Esaki, discovered a simple semiconductor class of crystal that is even more
 amazing than the transistor. The tunnel diode4, as it is called, operates on a negligible
 amount of electric current, its diameter being some few thousandths of an inch. With
 such a transistor man will be able to see telephones to be worn on wrists, pocket-size
 TV sets and ring radio sets5.
6. Several recent developments in the field of electronics have led to better ways to
 communicate efficiently over long distances. The maser and the laser permit man to
 beam extremely coherent and concentrated energy with almost no loss of intensity.
 Lasers and masers are known to have been used for transmitting power, radio waves
 and other waves used in communication.

X-Rays
1. The modern atomic age which we live in began because of an accidental discovery
 In 1895 a German scientists named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered the existence of X-
 rays. Many scientists had studied these rays but no one had discovered that when
 these cathode rays struck the glass wall of Crookes tube1 X-rays were created.
2. Roentgen also revealed that these X-rays could pass through solid matter and
 expose an X-ray film2. This discovery led immediately to the use of X-rays in medicine,
 the use we are all familiar with.
3. Although Roentgen discovered the properties of X-rays he did not know what rays
 were. He therefore called them X-rays, the X standing for their unknown nature. Today
 scientists know X-rays to be electromagnetic radiation of extremely high frequency and
 therefore of extremely short-wave length. X-rays are considered to be produced
 whenever rapidly moving electrons bombard any solid material. The greater the atomic
 weight of the material, the more plentiful the X-rays, the greater the speed of the
 electrons the higher the frequency of the X-rays.
4. As mentioned above X-rays were in a wide use for diagnostic purposes in medicine
 since their discovery. Industrial radiology has been discovered later particularly for
 inspecting welds and castings in the automobile and airplane industries. Flaws and
 cracks inside the metal are readily revealed due to the use of X-ray techniques. Famous
 paintings are often X-rayed to determine whether they are the originals or forgeries3.
5. Using X-rays irradiation the scientists have learnt to change structures of well-
 known materials such as metals, ceramics, etc. They could obtain materials of greater
 strength with higher melting point and particular electrical properties.
6. Radiation is known to -be a multagenic agent. In microbiology mutations are
 increased by irradiation. When a large-scale production of penicillin was introduced the
 best strain4 yielded 100-200 units of penicillin. Being Irradiated with X-rays, the same
 strain produced more than 1,000 units. Many new uses have been found for this
 treatment in agriculture.
V. Прочитайте 6-ой абзац текста и письменно ответьте на следующий вопрос: What increase was obtained in the productivity of penicillin being irradiated with X-rays?
