to visitors than the Florentines .

2. Bologna's Etruscan origins go back at least 2,400 years . It became a Roman city in the 2nd
century B.C. With the fall of the Roman Empire , it came under Byzantine rule . Then it
fell to the armies of northern barbarians , called the Longobards . Bologna became an
independent city - state in about 1000. In 1507 , the city came under the rule of the Roman
Catholic Church . This ended with the arrival of Napoleon and the French army in 1796.
Then , in 1859 , the city joined the Kingdom of Savoy , which became the Kingdom of Italy
in 1861 .

3. Bologna's progressive , or leftist , city government is the result of a number of his torical
factors . Many centuries of sometimes brutal rule under the Popes undoubtedly influenced
the Bolognese . During those years , they learned to distrust the Church and all established
power . By the early 20th century , there was already a strong leftist movement in Bologna .
The conservative parties further lost influence in the 1920s and 1930s . At that time , they
supported the Fascists and the Nazis . The leftists , on the other hand , gained in influence
in those years .

4. In their fondness for Bologna , the Bolognese have given their city a number of nicknames .
To some , it is known as Bologna " the red . " This name comes in part from the strong
leftist political tendencies of the city . To others , it is Bologna " the wise " because of its
university . The oldest university in Europe , the University of Bologna is still an important
intellectual and cultural center . And finally , some like to think of Bologna as " the fat , "

3. Although the two men were geniuses , Isaac Newton and Albert Einstein have very little
else in common . True , they both did their best work before the age of 26. However , that
is the only similarity between them . Newton cared about the public's opinion of him , and
he did not like improper behavior . Einstein , on the other hand , enjoyed being different
and did not care what others thought . Newton spent his later years in a comfortable job
with the government , while Einstein remained a full - time scientist .

4. Newton did most of his best work between 1665 and 1668 , during his stay in Woolsthorpe .
Many historians and scientists have wondered how he managed to pro duce so many
brilliant ideas in such a short time . It is probable that he had begun to develop his theories
earlier while at university . Then , in the peace and quiet of Woolsthorpe , those ideas took
form . No one will ever know exactly what inspired his most creative thinking . It is certain ,
however , that his genius is still felt today .

Exercise 13
1. In the early days , people thought it would have a positive effect on family life . It brought
the whole family together in one room . It also put an end to the usual family quarrels .
Everyone stayed quiet and just listened , for a change . But now it is clear that not all the
effects are positive . Some researchers believe that it prevents parents and children from
having normal relationships . The members of the family may be sitting together , but most
of the time no one talks . No one relates to anyone else in the room . The only
communication that happens is one - way : from the actors to each individual . And this
brings up another problem . Many children spend most of their free time this way . That
means that they have no idea of what family life can be . The picture they get of a family -
from what they see - is false and too simple . It leaves out many nega tive aspects and many
uncertainties . This may mean that they may not be able to tolerate real family life with all
its complexities . Topic :

the only one . Many people feel this way after lunch . They may think that eating lunch is
the cause of their sleepiness . Or , in summer , they may think it is the heat . However , the
real reason lies inside their bodies . At that time - about eight hours after you wake up your
body temperature goes down . This is what makes you slow down and feel sleepy .
Scientists have tested sleep habits in experimental situations where there was no night or
day . The people in these experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern .
They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later .
Main Idea :
Answer : There is a natural drop in body temperature that tends to make you sleepy in the
afternoon.

fact , find that they do not need to sleep at all . They feel rested and more awake after just
lying down for a while .

Answer :
To get the most rest , a nap should not be too late or too long .
