Read the text about Alexander Graham Bell and do the tasks:
Alexander Graham Bell is widely known as inventor of the first telephone. He was born on March 3rd, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. When he was 23, Bell emigrated to Canada with his parents and the next year moved th the United States to teach deaf-mute children. With his colleague Thomas Watson, Bell worked very hard on the experimentation to invent devices such as the harmonic telegraph ( used to send multiple messages over a single wire) and phonautograph ( used to draw the shape of the sound waves). The first telephone communication was said to have happened between Bell and Watson in 1876 while Bell was at one end of the line, and Watson worked on the telephone in other room. The first transmitted words were, " Mr Watson, come here. I want to see you"
a. Decide if the statements are T or F
1. Alexander Graham Bell is Scottish /T/
2. He spent all his life in Canada /F/
3. He worked with the deaf when he moved to the USA /T/
4. He wanted to create a device that can transmit human voice /T/
5. He was able to succeed right from the first experiment /F/
6. He worked on his inventions all by himself /F/
b. Answer the questions
1. What is Bell 's "harmonic telegraph"?
It's used to send multiple messages over a single wire
2. What is Bell 's "phonautograph"?
It's used to draw shape of the sound waves
3. When did the first communication over happened and how did it happen?
.... ( mk chịu )
VII. Read the text and answer the questions
1. Most people think of computers as very modern inventions, products of our new technological age. But
2. actually the idea for a computer was worked out over two centuries ago by a man called Charles Babbage.
3. Babbage was born in 1791 and grew up to be a brilliant mathematician. He drew up plans for several
4. calculating machines which he called “engines”. But despite the fact that he started building some of these, he
5. never finished any of them. Over the years people have argued whether his machines would ever work.
6. Recently, however, the Science Museum in London has finished building an engine based on one of
7. Babbage’s designs. It has taken six years to complete and more than four thousand parts have been specially
8. made. Whether it works or not, the machine will be on show at a special exhibition in the Science Museum to
9. remind people of Babbage’ work.
