Lesson 13
1. Read and translate the text:
Scientific Progress and Man.
Scientific and engineering progress opens up wide prospects, before man. The more scientific knowledge man has, the more he is able to use the forces of nature to his advantage.
Scientific
and technical progress enables man to obtain newer and cheaper
sources of energy, to manufacture new man-made materials and to
launch
artificial satellites into outer space. Let us take, for example, the prospects for accelerating communications.
Today with the latest means of transports man can overcome great distances. Rocket transport may solve the problem of far distances in the very nearest future. Quantum electronics will have to enable man to transmit comprehensive information over great distances.
The possibility to watch what goes on in the world over TV changes people's way of thinking. People begin to understand that they are neighbours and have to build their relations on the basis of scientific and cultural cooperation. One should remember that it is the scientific cooperation which is to become the foundation of international relations.
