23Listening Text
1. This woman is one of the greatest scientists
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.
24- This woman was certainly curious. Together
with her husband, she tried to learn the secrets
of radioactivity. The couple were awarded the
Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903. Eight years
later, she received a second Nobel Prize for
chemistry.
25- 2. It is said that 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.
26- His name makes you think that he was not too
interested in old things. He discovered the force
of gravity, and he drew up a system of how
objects move. His laws for motion are still used
in physics today, at least in schools and
universities.
27- 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.
28- 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.
29Great mind No 4 You What are you interested
in? What would you like to invent, discover or be?
30Where there is a will, there is a way.
God helps those who help themselves.

Have you thought about ?
34Biologists
I think biology is the most important and
useful science because it is essential to
protecting the ecological balance and
environment. People cant live without living
things. Furthermore, biology goes hand in hand
with our life. If there were no science of
biology, there would not be medicine. In a
word, biology is the most important and useful.
Darwin
???
???
F. H. Crick
35chemists
Well, maybe, but I think that chemistry
is the most important and useful, because
chemistry is the key to the progress of the human
being. Besides, it is chemical reaction that
produces many new things.
???
Scheele??
???
???
36Physicists
???
It is hard to say. There are many physical
products. And physics is widely used in many
fields, such as medicine, industry and
agriculture. Without physics, we could never go
and explore outer space. So I think physics is
the most important and useful science.
Einstein
Hawking
???
37Mathematicians
Thats true. But maths is the basic science.
You cant learn physics or chemistry well without
a good knowledge of math. Maths is a tool in
science and engineering. Therefore, maths is the
most important and useful science. Whats your
idea?
???
???
Gauss
Archimedes
38Computer scientists
Well, there is no doubt that maths is an
important and useful science. In my opinion, the
most important and useful science should be
computer science in our modern information
society. The computer is now an indispensable
tool in many fields. It can settle all
kinds of problems at a high speed and
can help people work easily. So I think computer
science is the most important and useful science.
39 Wish you succeed and make a difference!
A bright future will lie ahead !
