Listening 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.

Biologists
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

Physicists
???
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
???
37
Mathematicians
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
38
Computer 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.
