Unit One Making a difference Listening
Who were the famous scientist described on the tape?
1.This one is one of the greatest scientist of all times.
Even her name tells you that she likes science.
A good scientist should want to find out answers and ask many questions.
In other words,they should be curious.
This woman was certainly curious.
Together with her husband she tried to learn the secrets of radio activity.
The couple were award the Nobel Prize for physics in 1903.
Eight years later,she received the second Nobel Prize,this time for chemistry.
2.It is said this English Gentleman was sitting in his garden one day,
when suddenly he was hit by a falling apple.
The story is probably not true,but this man did mention,
that he got one of his best-known ideas
while watching apples fall from a tree.
His name makes you think that he was not too interested in all things.
He discovered the force of gravity.
and he drew up the system of how objects move.
His laws for motion are still used in physics today
at least in schools and universities.
3.Food is what sets this great mind on fire -- rice to be exact.
This great mind has spent most of his life looking for ways to help farmers grow more rice.
So that all of us will have enough food to eat.
He is known as the Father of Modern Rice.
But because of his long friendship with all the farmers in China,
he would rather be known as 'the Farmer'.
