3. Warming Up There are some great scientific achievements that have changed the world. Can you name some of them? What kind of role do they play in the field of science ? Do these achievements have anything in common? Match the inventions with their inventors below before you answer all these questions.

4. Alexander Bell electricity Thomas Edison the First telephone Laite Brothers the electric Lamp Madame Curie black holes in Universe Franklin Theory of Gravity Steven Hawking the First Plane Elbert Einstein Radium Isaac Newton the Theory of Relativity

5. Quiz Questions (P1) 1. Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287- 212 BC), 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. 阿基米德 (Archimedes)

6. 2. Charles Darwin, Britain (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. Charles Darwin

7. 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.

8. 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.

9. 4. Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822- 1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity( 遗传学 ) and inherited ( 继承, 承传 ) characteristics. He concentrated ( 集中精力 ) on cross- fertilizing ( 施肥 ) pea plants and analyzing the results. Between1856-- 1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. Gregor Mendel

10. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance ( 承传的规则 ). The first is that inheritance factors do not combine but are passed to the next generation intact ( 完整的 ). Second, he found that each partner gives half the inherited factors to the young.

11. Third, some of these factors show up in the offspring ( 子孙 ) (and so are dominant 显性的 ). The other factors are masked by the dominant ones (and so are recessive 隐性的 ).

12. 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). Marie Curie

13. She is the only person to have been so honored. 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.

14. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne ( 索邦神学院 : 巴 黎大学前身 ).

15. 6. Thomas Edison, American (1847- 1931) He was already an inventor of other electrical devices ( phonograph 电唱机, 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. Thomas Edison

16. 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 possible. Leonardo da Vinci

17. 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.

18. 8. Sir Humphry Davy, British (1778- 1829) He did research into different gases and discovered the medicinal value of nitrous( 麻醉 ) oxide( 氧化物 ) (or laughing gas) as an anaesthetic( 麻 醉剂 ). In 1815 he developed a safety lamp for miners. Humphry Davy

19. 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.

20. 9. Zhang Heng, Chinese (78- 139) He invented the first seismograph( 测震 仪、地震仪 ) to indicate in the direction of an earthquake. It was in the shape of a cylinder( 圆筒形 ) with eight dragonheads round the top, each with a ball in its mouth. 张衡 地动仪

21. 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.

22. 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. Stephen Hawking

23. 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.

24. Leading in Supply the following words with detail. John Snow Cholera

25. John Snow (1813-1858) John Snow was born in York on March 15th, 1813, the oldest of nine children. York London

He was educated at a private school in his native city until the age of fourteen, when he was apprenticed( 当学徒 ) to William Hardcastle, a surgeon( 外科医生 ) living at Newcastle-on-Tyne.

27. After serving for a short time as a surgeon and unqualified assistant during the cholera epidemic of 1831-1982, he became in October 1836 a student at the Hunterian School of medicine in Great Windmill Street, London. He began to attend the medical practice at the Westminster Hospital in the following October.

28. 183637383940184541424344 He graduated M.D. of the University of London on 20 Dec. 1844, and in 1850 he was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians.

29. He designed a chloroform inhaler( 氯仿吸入器 ), described in his book, On Chloroform and other Anesthetics, published in 1858. Dr. Snow was also a prominent anesthesiologist( 麻醉师 ) What else was he famous for?

30. What is Cholera? Cholera is the illness caused by a bacterium called Vibria cholerae. It infects people’s intestines( 肠 ), causing diarrhea( 腹泻 ), vomiting and leg cramps.

31. The most common cause of cholera is by someone eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated with the bacteria.

32. After a disaster, this is a very real danger, since regular, clean water and food supplies are often unavailable. The disease can be spread even further by infected people using already dirty water sources to clean themselves or dispose of waste.

33. Cholera can be mild or even without symptoms, a severe case can lead to death without immediate treatment. The diarrhea and vomiting brought on by the infection quickly leaves the body without enough fluid. The following dehydration( 脱水 ) and shock can kill a person within hours.

34. Look at the picture, the title and the map, guess what is the content of the text? Then skim it quickly to see if you were right.

35. When we want to solve some problem. First we should find the problem, do some research on it, prove your finding, and then make a conclusion. This is a scientific and objective way of researching. 1. What order would you put the seven in? Pre-reading

36. Infectious diseases can be spread to other people. They have an unknown cause and need public health care to solve them. 2. What do you know about infectious diseases?

37. Repel ( 回避 ) may be exposed to an infectious diseases, so may animals, such as bird flu. AIDS, SARS are infectious diseases. Infectious diseases are difficult to cure.

38. Cholera is the illness caused by a bacterium called Varian cholera. If infects people’s intestines( 肠胃 ), causing diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps( 腹痛 ). 3. What do you know about cholera?

39. The most common cause of cholera is by someone eating food or drinking water that has been contaminated( 污染 ) with the bacteria.

40. Cholera can be mild( 不严重的 ) or even without symptoms( 症状 ), but a severe case can lead to death without immediately treatment.

41. First we should find the problem. Then, think of a method. We should collect as much information as possible. 4. Do you know how to prove a new idea in scientific research?

42. Analyzing results is the most important stage. Before we make a conclusion, it is necessary for us to repeat some stages or processes.

55. What should you do if you're travelling to a country that has a cholera outbreak? Drink only water that you have boiled or treated with chlorine or iodine. Other safe drinks include tea or coffee made with boiled water and carbonated, bottled beverages with no ice.

56. Eat only food that's been thoroughly cooked and is still hot, or fruit that you've peeled yourself. Avoid undercooked or raw fish and shellfish.

57. Avoid raw salads and vegetables. Avoid food and drinks from street vendors. "Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it." TIPS

58. Group Discussion 1. John Snow believed Idea 2 was right. How did he finally prove it? 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.

59. 2. Do you think John Snow would have solved this problem without the map? 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.

60. 3. Cholera is a 19th century disease. What disease do you think is similar to cholera today? Two diseases, which are similar today, are SARS and AIDS because they are both serious, have an unknown cause and need public health care to solve them.
