I. Reading
Read the texts given below. For questions (1–8), write A, B or C in the correct box.
A Yuri Gagarin
“I see Earth. It’s so beautiful!” These are the first words ever spoken by a human in space. The speaker was 27yearold Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin.
Yuri Gagarin was born on 9 March 1934, in Smolensk, Russia. When he left school, Yuri decided to train as an engineer, so he enrolled at a technical college on the outskirts of Moscow. While he was a student, he became interested in aircraft and took lessons at a local flying school. Soon it became obvious he was a talented pilot, so when he finished his studies in 1955, he joined the Soviet Air Force. This proved to be a turning point in his life. He was chosen to be a testpilot, flying new and experimental aircraft. Yuri was selected to join a special group of the country’s best test pilots and went on to further training to be a cosmonaut. His instructors described him as very calm and confident with very quick reactions.
Yuri’s epic one-hundred-and-eight-minute flight into space on 12 April 1961, made headline news all over the world. It was man’s first venture into space and the beginning of his journey to the stars. As the pilot of the spaceship, Gagarin proved that a human could survive lift-off, re-entry and weightlessness and return safely to Earth. What’s more, he was able to record important data which future astronauts would use.
Yuri Gagarin became a national hero. Unfortunately, he was tragically killed seven years later in a plane crash. He was thirty-four years old.
B Albert Einstein
Albert Einstein is one of the most gifted scientists of all time. He is best known for his theory of relativity, which he developed when he was only twenty-six and which changed the way scientists looked at space and time.
Einstein was born on 14 March 1874, in Ulm, Wurttemberg, Germany. He studied Mathematics and continued to live in Switzerland, worked in an office, but spent his spare time doing scientific research and experiments.
He became professor at Zurich University in 1909, but even before that his research had made him an important force in the world of physics. In 1921, he won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Einstein’s genius changed the course of history, since it was central to the development of atomic energy. Einstein was an outspoken believer in world peace, however, and he was deeply-saddened when he realised the outcome of his research would be an atom bomb. He said at the time, “If only I had known, I’d have become a watchmaker.”
In 1933, Einstein accepted a position for life as a professor at Princeton University. He lived there, dedicated to the study of physics, until his death in 1955.
C Steve Jobs
In 1975, Steve Jobs founded Apple Computer, a company that revolutionised the personal computer. Born in 1955, Steve grew up in Silicon Valley, California. He dropped out of college after the first term and took a job as a video game designer. Here he met up with an old friend, Steve Wozniak, and together they founded Apple.
The pair built their first computer in Jobs’ parents’ garage. A local electronics shop bought fifty of these computers and the company was on its way to success. The company’s second model, Apple II, changed the computer industry forever by making computers smaller and more user-friendly, so they could be used by ordinary people. Both charming and demanding, Jobs managed to push Apple Computer to the head of the computer revolution.
Steve Jobs’ visionary designs changed people’s idea of computers. “We started out to get a computer in the hands of everyday people, and we succeeded beyond our wildest dreams,” he once said.
