Part 1: Reading Comprehension


According to the results of the October 2009 competition organised by the London Museum of Science, the X-ray is the most important modern scientific achievement, beating Apollo spacecraft and DNA. Nearly 50,000 members of the public voted in the museum or online on ten of the greatest achievements in science, technology and engineering, selected by the museum curators. The X-ray machine topped the poll, which marks the London museums centenary. The discovery of penicillin antibiotics came second, followed by the DNA double helix. Penicillin transformed the treatment of infectious disease and saved countless lives around the world. The first of our modern antibiotics, it was a powerful weapon against diseases such as pneumonia. In the case of the DNA, Francis Crick and James Watson revealed the structure and beauty of DNA to the world and established DNA as the code for life on Earth. Next in the poll came the Apollo 10 space capsule. It was 40 years ago that three astronauts travelled to the Moon and back, inside this capsule. The success of the mission paved the way for the Apollo 11 Moon landing two months later humankinds first steps on another world. Following Apollo came the V2 rocket engine, which launched us into space. However, as the power behind the first long-range missiles, it also threatened to destroy our world when used by the Nazis to threaten the skies over London and other European cities. In the next place came Stephensons Rocket steam locomotive. The Rocket was the worlds first modern steam locomotive and its design set the standard for 150 years. After Rockets success, the railways expanded quickly and for the first time huge numbers of people were able to move across the world - many in search of a new life. The other inventions include the first computer, the steam engine, the first family car and the electric telegraph. Im thrilled to see the incredible development of the X-ray machine recognised in the museums centenary year, said Katie Maggs, the Science Museums associate curator of medicine. X-rays have radically changed the way we see and understand our world our bodies in particular. X-rays revolutionised how doctors detected disease and injury. For the first time we could see bones and other structures inside the living body - instead of relying on symptoms, samples or surgery. Today, new kinds of imaging technology allow us to see inside our minds as well as our bodies. In the future, brain scanners might be used to record our dreams or even to detect what we are about to think - before we think it Read the text and write the names of the ten inventions mentioned according to the winning order (Lee el texto y escribe los nombre de los 10 inventos mencionados segn el orden ganador) 1)______________________________ 3)______________________________ 5)______________________________ 7)______________________________ 9)_____________________________ 2)_____________________________ 4)_____________________________ 6)_____________________________ 8)_____________________________ 10_____________________________
