The great English scientist Isaac Newton , (1) theory of gravitation is well- known throughout the world , was born in the village Woolthorpe, not far (2) the town of Cambridge , on December 25 th , 1642 .His neighbours thought he would (3) become a well-known clockmaker, because he had already made a clock his neighbours had never heard of before . It worked (4) water . Besides the water clock , Newton also made a sundial. When he grew older, he (5) interested in Mathematics and Physics. His first physical experiment was carried (6) in 1658 , when he was 16 years old. On June 5 th ,1661, Newton entered the University of Cambridge (7) he studied Mathematics and soon became famous at the age of 21. When Newton was 22 years old, he began studying the (8) of gravitation . In 1669 he (9) appointed professor and began giving lectures (10) Mathematics at Cambridge . Issac Newton died in 1727 at the age of 85. 2.

The first time he saw fire was probably when a tree was struck by lightning. He soon learned how to make fire for himself. However, man probably made his first fire by rubbing two sticks together. Fire was very important to man. He needed fire to keep himself warm at night. He used fire to cook his food. He used fire to frighten away enemies and wild animals. In some parts of the world he used fire to signal messages. Red Indians, for example, used fire to make smoke signals. In some other countries people lit fire to warn their friends of danger. Fire was also used to give light. Before the invention of the oil lamp, man used burning sticks as torches. And before man discovered gas and electricity, he hung small fires in wire baskets from post to light the streets. One man ever used fire to tell the time. He invented a candle clock. He made a candle that took exactly twelve hours to burn. Then he marked this candle in twelve equal parts. He lit the candle and could tell the time by counting the number of parts left of the burning candle. But the candle clock did not always work well. If there were a wind blowing on the candle, the flame burned too quickly. *Choose the best answer. Tick(  ) only one for each question 1. Man probably first made fire A.

Twelve days Money About three thousand years ago, there were no shops. If you needed something, you had to make it yourself. For example, if you needed something to wear, you had to kill an animal and get its coat. If you were a good hunter, and had a lot of coats, you could exchange them for other things you needed. You could get meat or fruit. This way of exchanging things is called barter. Later on, people began to use money. They made money from thing which would last and not go bad easily. They used stones, shells and animals’ teeth. After men had discovered metal into small bars to use copper, tin, silver and gold. They made these metals into small bars so that they were easy to store and carry about. Before there were banks, people kept their money themselves. Most people hid their money in the ground. They thought that it was the safest place to store money. About five hundred years later, people began to make coins. They were easier to carry than metal bars. Early coins were not flat and round but were in lumps. Usually a king or ruler of a place gave the order to make coins. Therefore, people often put a picture of his head and his name on one side of the coin. This side of the coin is called the head. Then they put the date and value of the coin on the other side. This side is called the tail. The first paper money was made by the Chinese. In the fifteenth century. The first banks appeared in Italy.
