Robert moog was an american inventor who developed the moog synthesizer. it
was one of the first synthesizer to gain widespread use as a musical instrument.
Moog’s synthesizers were an important part of musical innovation in rock and
jazz music in the 1960s and 1970s. Robert Arthur Moog was born in queens, a
borough of New York City 75 years ago. He became fascinated with electronics
as a teenager, particularly an early electronic music instrument called the
theremin. mood studied physic and electrical engineering at queens college and
columbia university both in new york city and later received a Ph.D. in
engineering physic cornel University in Ithaca, New York. in 1954, while still an
undergraduate student, Moog Formed his own company to sell theremins and
theremins kits.
Soon after, moog began working on a keyboard instrument that could replicate the
sound of any musical instrument electronically. working with american composer
herbert deutch. moog introduced the prototype moog synthesizer at a convention
in 1964. the device represented a signivicant advance over previous electronic
syntesizerbecause of its use of new semiconductor technology, which made it
smaller and considerably cheaper than earlier machines. the moog, as it was
known, was soon in demand by musician all over the world.
In 1964, moog began a collaboration with american composer and organist walter
carlos who realesed the best selling electronic music album switched-on bach in
1968. Rock groups such as the beatles and yes and jazz musician such as harbie
hancock and chick corea began incorporating moog synthesizer in to their
recordings, a trend that increased when the company introduced the compact and
portable minimoog in 1970. A moog synthesizer was also prominently featured on
the sountrack to the movie A clockwork Orange in 1971. 32-37

During the eihteenth century, pickpockets were hanged in england, large crowds
of people would gather watch the hanging , which was supposed to be a warning
to other pickpockets. however, in time the practice was discontinued. The reason ;
while people were attentively watching the hanging of a pickpockets, other
pickpockets skillfully stole the money of spectators.
Police official say that the most efficient pickpockets come from south america.
many of these expert pickpockets are trained in special school called ‘jingle bell
schools’. A pickpocket’s graduate from J.B.S when he is able to steal a wallet
from a dresses dummy that has bells inside its pockets.
Even the most well dressed, respectable person may be a pickpocket. some of the
favorite places of pickpockets are banks, airports, racetract, supermarkets,
elevators and train and bus station. oftentimes, a pickpocket will work with
another pickpockets as his partner. Another kind of pickpockets works outside or
inside bars and specialize in stealing from women is called a ‘purse snatcher’.
T avoid being the victim of a pickpocket, it’s important to be very cautious and
alert when in the midst of large gathering of the people. 38-41

Planck intriduced an idea that led to the quantum theory, which became the
foundation of twentieth century physics. In December 1900, Plnck worked out an
equation that described the distribution of radiation accurately over the range of
low to high frequencies. He had developed a theory which depended on a model
of matter that seemed very strange at the time. The model required the emission of
electromagnetic radiation in small chunks or particles. These particles were later
called quantums. The energy associated with each quatum is measured by
multiplying the frequency of the radiation, v, by a universal constant, h. Thus,
energy, or E, equals hv. The constant, h, is known as Planck’s constant. It is now
recognized as one of the fundamental constant of the world.
Planck announced his finding in 1900, but it was years before teh full
consequences of his revolutionary quantum theory were recognized. Throughout
his life, Planck made significant contributions to optics, thermodynamics and
stastistical mechanics, physical chemistry, and other fields. In 1930, He was
elected president of the Kaiser Wilhelm society, which was renamed the Max II.
Though deeply opposed to the fascist regime of Adolf Hitler, Planck remained in
Germany throughout teh war. He died in Gottingen on October 4, 1947.

We believe the Earth is about 4.6 billion years old. At percent, we are forced to
look to other bodies in the solar system for hints as to what the early history of the
Earth was like. Studies of our moon, Mercury, Mars, and the large satellites of
Jupiter and Saturn have provided ample evidence that all these large celestial
bodies had formed. This same bombardment must have affected Earth as well.
The lunar record indicates that the rate of impacts decreased to its present low
level about 4 billion years ago. On Earth, subsequent erosion and crustal motions
have obliterated the craters that must have formed during this epoch.
Scientists estimate the Earth’s age by measuring the ratios of various radioactive
elements in rocks. The oldest Earth’s rocks tested thus far are about 3 1/3 billion
years old. But no one knows whether these are oldest rocks on Earth. Tests on
rocks from the moon and on meteorites show that these are about 4.6 billion years
old. Scientists believe that this is the true age of the solar system and probably the
true age of the Earth.
1242. Inline 8, the word “obliterated” means.
A. created
B. destroyed
C. changed
D. erosion
1243. According to this passage, how do scientists estimate the age of the Earth?
A. By measuring the ratios of radioactive elements in rocks.
B. By examining fossils
C. By studying sunspots
D. By examining volcanic activity
1245. Which of the following processes led to the obliteration of the craters
formed by the bombardment of the Earth by the celestial bodies?
A. Volcanic activity
B. Solar radiation
C. Gravity activity
D. Crustal motions
1246. According to the passage, why are scientists forced to look at other bodies
in the solar system to determine the early history of the Earth?
A. Human alteration of the Earth.
B. Erosion and crustal motions.
C. Solar flares.
D. Deforestation and global warming.
Last summer, we decided to spend our vacation at the beach because the weather
was very hot in the mountains. The travel agent said that traveling by bus was the
cheapest way, but we went by plane because it was faster. We wanted to have
more time to spend at the beach. The weather was beautiful and we had a great
time.
Dear Melissa,
I hope you are well. Guess what! I am having a big party next week at my house
and I am inviting all my close friends. The theme of the party is going to be Harry
Potter, so all must dress accordingly. You would make a great witch! I need to let
everyone know by Wednesday since I am throwing the party next Saturday. Sam
is going to decorate the house and my mother is going bake a cake and make lots
of food. There is going to be music and dancing as well. John is going to be the
DJ. You can stay over at my house. It’s going to be great! I hope to see you then.
Love,
Sarah
