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.

V. Прочитайте 5-й абзац текста и ответьте письменно на следующий вопрос: What is the mutual attraction of the Moon and the Earth accounted for?

2. operating current - рабочий ток


3. transistorized circuitry - цепь, собранная на транзисторах

4. tunnel diode - туннельный диод

5. ring radio set - радиоприёмник, встроенный в кольцо.

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.

V. Прочитайте 6-ой абзац текста и письменно ответьте на следующий вопрос: Where will lasers and masers be used?

4. strain - биологический штамм

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?
