6. Qian Xuesen is one of the best-known scientists in China. His work has been very important for the development of China. 1

9. Yu Ping is telling her friend Steve Smith about Qian Xueshen’s life. Listen to the tape and then answer the questions. Yu Ping and her friend Steve Smith are talking about Qian Xuesen, who has made great contributions to the development of China’s space industry.

10. Before we begin to listen to it, look at the screen and read the new words in the material : astronomer ( 天文学家 ) astronaut ( 宇航员 ) institute ( 研究所 )

11. A GREAT CHINESE SCIENTIST Father of the Chinese space programme Yu Ping is talking to her friend Steve Smith about Qian Xuesen and his work as a rocket scientist. Listening text

12. YP: What do you want to be when you grow up? SS: I want to be an astronomer and visit stars. I wish to visit Mars one day. YP: I think I'd like to work in the space industry too. I'd like to be a rocket scientist like Qian Xuesen. SS: What did he have to do to become a rocket scientist?

13. YP: Well, he first studied at university to be an engineer. Then he was lucky enough to go to America to study for his doctor's degree. It was then he began to work on rockets there. SS: So it was lucky for our space programme that he came back to China.

14. YP: Very lucky. There was no work on space rockets before he began his institute in China to design and build rockets to go into space. SS: Do you think he wanted to travel into space in one of his rockets?

15. YP: I have no idea but I believe he looked forward to the first space flight by a Chinese astronaut.

16. SS: Yes. China, has already sent satellites into space. I hope that we’ll be the first to land on Mars. That would really be something special and if I were that astronaut I would put Qian Xuesen's picture on Mars to show how much we admire his work.

17. YP: Indeed. He is called the father of the Chinese space programme. He is my hero and he is why I want to be a rocket scientist.

18. SS: Well, we'd better get on with our homework. We need good grades to get into university. YP: Right you are. See you, then. SS: See you.

19. 1.What did Qian Xuesen study first? Qian Xuesen first studied to be an engineer. 2.What experience did he get in America that was very useful for China? In America he began to work on space rockets so that he was able to develop a space programme when he came back to China. Answer the questions

20. 3.What was Qian Xuesen's achievement when he returned to China from America? When Qian Xuesen returned to China he set up a Space Institute to begin training people in how to design and build rockets.

21. 4. How has he been honored in China? In China he has been honored as “the father of the space programme”. 5. How would Steve honor him? Steve Smith suggested putting QianXuesen's picture on Mars when the first Chinese astronaut lands there.

22. These questions may help you: What job do you want to do? What education will you need? 2 In pairs discuss what scientific job each of you would like to choose in the future.

23. What personality will be needed? How long will the training take? What work experience would be useful? How will you prepare for this career?

24. MIKE: What do you want to do when you grow up? LI RU: I want to build robots. I will have to do a physics and mathematics degree in China. Sample conversation:

25. After that I hope to go abroad to Reading University in England where you can study all about robots. There is a special cybernetics( 控制论 ) department there. MIKE: Why personality will be needed for that job?

26. LI RU: They have a lot of uses: for example, in making cars on a production line or doing other repetitive jobs. MIKE: What personality will be needed for that job?

27. LI RU: I think I need to be patient for my ideas will take a long time to develop. I also need to be creative enough to have good ideas. MIKE: What experience will be most useful to you?

28. LI RU: I think technology and engineering projects. I hope to work in a factory in my holidays. MIKE: What kind of person makes a good inventor?

29. LI RU: I think someone who is happy to persevere at something and learns from his mistakes. MIKE: Thank you. I think designing robots sounds fun.

30. Robert Briggs is very interested in biology and especially in the study of plants. Today he is telling his friend Zhang Wei some exciting news. Read the questions before you listen to the tape. This will help you to understand the information. Listening (P41)

31. New words in the listening passage: species ( 种类 ) ， parrot ( 鹦鹉 ) ， blackbird ( 乌鸦 )

32. 1. Choose the best one. Explain why the others are wrong. A. This is about a man who wants to name a flower. B. This is about a man who finds a flower and wants to own it. C. This is about a man who finds a flower and wants to know if it is a new species of flower. It does not give enough information. B is inaccurate.

33. Listen to the tape again and try to complete the following passage. To find the name of an unknown flower, first you have to go to see a flower ________. He /She will look in a special _____written by Carl Linnaeus. specialist book

34. He lived in ______ from ____ to _____. He was very important because he solved a serious problem for ______. He saw all plants and animals produce ______________________. Some animals produce ______ but others lay ____ while plants ____________. Sweden 17071778 biology young plants and animals babies eggs produce seeds

35. He used these different ways of producing young to put plants and animals into ______. For example, the group called birds lay ____ to produce young and they all have _______. Linnaeus put the plants and animals into smaller groups or species. groups feathers eggs

36. He gave each one two names. One is for the large group, for example ____ and one is for the species, for example ______. So a parrot would be ___. He was the first person to successfully classify ( 分类 ) all plants and animals. bird parrot bird

37. NAMING A FLOWER Here is Robert Briggs talking to Zhang Wei about a new flower he has found. Listening text

38. RB: Hello, Zhang Wei, I've found a new kind of lily. I know this one is special because of its size and its color. ZW: How can you find out if it really is a new kind?

39. RB: I'll have to take it to a lily specialist. All the different kinds of lily are collected in a book. He'll see if my lily is there. ZW: Who wrote the book? Why don't you go and see him about your flower?

40. RB: I can't! He's been dead for three hundred years. His name was Karl Linnaeus and he lived in Sweden from 1707 to 1778. ZW: That was so long ago! Haven't they found a better way since then?

41. RB: But you don't understand. He solved a very serious problem for biology. ZW: What was that? RB: Before him nobody was able to tell if a plant or animal was new or not as there was no way of checking. There're so many animals and plants, trees and flowers.

42. ZW: So how did this man do it? RB: He saw all plants and animals have to produce young plants and animals. For example, animals produce babies, birds lay eggs and plants produce seeds.

43. ZW: How does this help? RB: Well, all plants produce seeds but some animals have babies and others lay eggs. So you can use this to start sorting them out.

44. ZW: Can you give me an example? RB: There are large groups like birds. All birds have feathers and lay eggs to produce baby birds. But not all birds are the same. So they're divided into different species of bird like a parrot or a blackbird.

45. ZW: I see. What sort of groups did he make? RB: He wanted to make it easy to find the animals and plants in his book, so he gave them two names each. One is for the large group and the other for the species. So, in the book, a parrot is called "bird, parrot".

46. ZW: I see. So if your flower is new it will be called "lily, Robert" will it? RB: Yes, it will --- if I'm very lucky. ZW: Well, I hope you're successful. Goodbye. RB: Goodbye.

48. Euler's achievements Examples New symbols( 符号 ) and terms Old areas of mathematics Л,sin, cosin revised and analysed all maths of his day

49. Euler's achievements Examples New area of mathematics Overall importance topology introduced a lot of symbols into maths; wrote more books than anyone before

50. A MATHEMATICIAN'S PROBLEM Here is John Smith talking to Zhao Yang about a mathematician who interests him. Listening text

51. JS: Did you know that we have been studying Euler's work in maths? ZY: Are you sure? I don't ever remember hearing that name before.

52. JS: Well, he was a famous mathematician in the eighteenth century. He revised and analysed all the pure mathematics that was known in his day. ZY: That probably wasn't very much.

53. JS: You're wrong there. He wrote more than any other mathematician before or since. He laid the foundations for all later mathematical work. He was a great mathematician. ZY: Really! Well what did he do that I will recognise?

54. JS: He introduced a lot of symbols into mathematics that we use today such as the symbol for pi. He was the first to use the terms sin and cosin. He wrote books and articles about geometry, calculus and mechanics.

55. ZY: Wow! JS: And he did half of this work when he was blind ZY: How did he do that?

56. JS: He remembered all the information in his head. Then someone else wrote it down when he told them his ideas. ZY: He doesn't sound very practical to me. Did he do anything that I would find useful and interesting?

57. JS: He did introduce a new branch of mathematics called topology, which is both of those things. It is a form of geometry that helps you understand things by turning them into diagrams. The subway is a good example.

58. It does not tell you distances but it shows you how stations connect together. ZY: How did he start topology?

59. JS: Well, in 1735 he was inspired by a problem in the city of Konigsberg where he lived. Look at the map in your book. It had a river running through it. The centre of Konigsberg is an island and as it passes the island the river breaks into two parts.

60. Seven bridges were built so that the people of the city could get from one part to another. The people wondered if you could walk around the city so that you would cross each bridge only once. ZY: Let me try that. It sounds quite simple to me.

61. JS: OK. ZY: Why don't you students have a go and see if you can do it? It is not as easy as it looks.
