owners around the world. What did the first car look like? It was more
different than the cars we have today. They worked by a steam
engine. These cars looked more like a carriage than a car. A man named

Gasoline is like petroleum. Most car engines are powered like this today.
Benz’s car was known as the Motorwagen.

Aeroplanes have changed the world in the last hundred years. But this

Orville and Wilbur two brothers. They had a bicycle shop in Ohio, USA.
They were good at making bicycles. Planes were their real interest. At that
time people knew how to make and fly gliders. But nobody could make a
plane and fly it. There were two problems. One was about strong wings.
The other was that planes crashed when they wanted to land.
The Wright brothers built a plane in their bicycle shop. The plane worked
with a petrol engine and two wooden propellers. On December 17th, in
1903 they tested it. The plane weighed 275 kilograms. Orville started the
engine and flew it. The plane flew only for 12 seconds. Someone took a

Bell Telephone Company. This invention allowed people to talk to each
other from distance. The first telephones were large and awkward and
each telephone was powered by its own battery. That problem was solved
in the 1890s.

discuss their personal life loudly in public places.Some people complain
when cell phones ring in cinemas and places of worship. They
complain about people who drive too slow. Some drivers don’t pay
attention to the road. Because they are talking on a cell phone.
Always try to keep your phone ringer low. You can put your mobile phone
on vibrate. It does not distract the people around you.
Leave your phone at home, or at least in the car, when you go to a funeral.
Don’t scream when you speak to someone on the phone. Speak in a

Listening script
Well, people have believed for many centuries that animals can predict
earthquakes. In fact, we can look back to records from the ancient Greeks.
They noticed that animals acted wierdly in the hours before earthquakes.
Even now, people talk about dogs that they don’t stop barking and cats
hide before an earthquake. Seismologists or animal experts don’t agree
that animals can predict earthquakes.
Many people have records of very strange animal behavior before the
ground shakes. They say animals behave strangely before an earthquake.
This is evidence that animals can predict earthquakes.
In short, the truth is that we aren’t sure. Animals might be able to sense
earthquakes before they happen, but there is no solid evidence that they
can. If they can predict an earthquake, it could help save many lives.

For British and American people pies are more than desserts. They are

In Britain meat pie is a traditional dinner. At first most meat pies had bird
meat. In the Middle Ages, people often cooked birds called magpies. They
put them on the pastries. Over time these pastries got name “pie”. It came
from magpie. A magpie is a large black and white bird with a long tail.
Today steak pies are most common. In areas like Wales, lamb pies are
popular.
Apple pie means “Americans”. Europeans made apple pie first. They came
to America with it. Over the years, it became a US cultural symbol like

Democratic countries are the places where people have equal rights to
vote. Ancient Athens had the first known democracy. It began there around
in 500 Before Common Era. But their democracy was different from most
examples today. They had a direct democracy. It means, each citizen voted
on the laws. But in today’s democratic countries a few people can vote on
the laws.
The Athenian idea of citizenship was different too. Only some people could
be citizens who were born and had land. Women and men without
property couldn’t be citizens. Foreigners and slaves too. Only 10 or 20
per cent of the population were citizens.
There were two small groups which had more power. The council and
courts. The council decided what to vote on. The courts settled disputes.
Most members of these groups were from rich and powerful families.

Listening script
The word “paper” comes from an ancient Egyptian word “papyrus.”

Papyrus is a plant. It grows along the river banks of the Nile in Egypt. The
Babylonians and Egyptians first used the “paper” from the papyrus plant.
Also the Greeks and Romans used papyrus. Making papyrus was
time-consuming and expensive.
I think paper is one of the best inventions. Without paper, we would all still
be farmers. The discovery of paper was the start of the first information
technology revolution. It changed our lives. We started to write down our
history. We wrote down poems and books and plays. We also wrote our
holy books on paper. Then, one day, many centuries ago, someone invent-
ed the printing press. Suddenly, people printed hundreds, thousands,
millions of books. Society changed because more and more people could
read. We became educated and we can’t live without paper today. Even we
have the Internet, we still love reading real newspapers; we still read real
books; and we still write messages on paper.

Acid rain is one of the biggest environmental problems today. It has

long-term effects. It damages trees,plants and buildings. Acid rain also can
cause breathing and skin problems. It can also cause animals to become
extinct.
Acid rain is caused by air pollution from cars and factories. These machines
burn fuel for energy. When fuel burns, it produces smoke and invisible
gases. These gases and smoke mix with clouds. Then this toxic rain falls on
the Earth.
Acid rain appeared in the middle 1800s. It was discovered by Robert Angus
Smith. Scientist didn’t start studying acid rain until 1950s. Factories used
special filters to remove harmful chemicals. This is a good solution. If the
governments don’t act soon, the damage can be unstoppable.

Edinburgh Castle in Scotland is very old. It has been at the center of

Scottish history for over 800 years. A few hundred years ago, secret tunnels
were discovered under the castle . These tunnels were not natural.

According to one story, a man was sent down into the tunnels to explore.
As he went down into the tunnels, he played bagpipes very loudly so
people could hear him outside. Suddenly the music stopped ... and the the
man never came out. Today, some people are sure that the man is

Chimpanzees, or “chimps,” can be trained. They can learn and remember

various actions and movements. In this way, they can learn to “act” in films
and on TV. About 200 chimps are now used in the U .S. entertainment
business. Sometimes these chimps can seem almost like understanding
actors. But some people are against training chimps to be actors. Although
chimps are smart, they are still wild animals. At training centers, chimps
may be hit if they don’t do what the trainer says.
Also, most TV and movie chimps are very young. Dr. Jane Goodall says
“The chimpanzees we use in entertainment are generally young.
When Chimpanzees are six or eight yeras old, it is difficult to control them.
That’s why adult or older chimpanzees are given to zoos or kept in cages.
They live about 60 years. The cost of keeping a chimp is 10 000 dollars a
year.
