Why in the world

• Behaviour is difficult to meaasure, but manu scientists agree about certain differences between the sexes. They say that girls are superior at reading and understanding difficult material, and that they speaks more fluently. Boys are generally better at mathematics.
• They are good at reading maps and they are without doubt more aggressive both phisically and verbally. That doesn't mean, of course, that a particular boy is better at math's than a particular girls, or that he is necessarily more aggressive. Scientists are talking about the average.
• Aggression in mean probably comes from prehistoric times, when only adept fithters could survive. Anthropologists point out that men were usually hunters or killers. It was rare for women to go to war. If similarities exists between societies, behavioural scientists say they probably stem from biological factors.

The microscope

• A mivcroscope is an instrument used to help see things that are too small to see with the naked eye. The word microscope is a combination of two Greek words. The words are mikros, or "small", and skopos, or "watchers". So a microscope is a "watcher of small".
• A microscope consists of a series of lenses in a hollow tube. A lens is a transparent piece of glass that makes an object look larger. The lenses in a microscope are called magnifying lenses. The are the top of the tube is called the eyepiece. The lens at the bottom of the tube is called the objective.
• A microscope has many uses. Medical scientists use microscopes to see tiny organisms live bacteria that causes diseases. Scientists also use microscopes to look at the structure of metals and the cells of plants.
• Microscopes are used in science, medicine and industry.

The Milky Way

• If you are under the sky in the desert or in the mountains, on a moonless night, far from the light pollution of the cities, the spectacle overhad is awesome: a river of stars seemingly without number, stretching from horizon from horizon. This great celestial spectacle is the Milky Way, the galaxy which is our home.
• When, in 1924, the American astronomer Edwin Hubble annouced that the Andromeda Nebula was not part of the Milky Way but in fact a neighboring galaxy, the field of extragalactic astronomy was born,. This led to an extraordinary insight into the possible structure of the universe.

London`s Park

• I`m lying under a tree in St. James Park. There are three downtown parks adjoining each other - St. James and Green, both small, and the big one, Hyde Park.
• All the parks in London are very serene, veru gentle. Young couples are going by, arm in arm, quietly, no transistor radios or guitars in hand. Families are picknicking on the lawn sedately. Dogs are going by on leashes, equally sedate, looking neither to the right nor to the left. There is one exception: a woman is coming by with a small gray poodle on a leash. I say hello to the poodle and he veers towards me, always-glad-to-meet-a-friend, but the woman yanks him back.
• "Please, don't do that" she says to me sharply. "I'm trying to teach him good manners."
• I think, "Pity he can't do that for you."

Terror in a computer world

• A virus is basically an information disorder. Biological viruses use the genetic code of living cells to multiply. Like its biological counterpart, a computer virus carries in its instructional code the recipe for making perfect copies of itself. Lodged in a computer, the typical virus takes temporary control of the operating system. When the infected computer comes in contact with a uninfected piece of software a copy of the virus passes into the new program. Thus the infection can be spread from computer to computer.
• Viruses can travel from one place to another as fast as a phone call. A single virus can quickly turn up in computers hundred of miles away.
• Computer virus can be avoided. Most computers experts warn other users about viruses. "Remember", they say, "only you can prevent a virus epidemic! Don't lend discs. Don't copy software. Don't let anyone touch your computer. Don't panic. Just say no".

The X-Rays

• Roentgen, Wilhelm Konrad. Also Roentgen. 1845-1923. German physics
  • Discovered and studied x-rays (From: The Heritage Illustrated Dictionary)
• X-ray, X-rays, ... X-rayed
• 1. An X-ray is a type of radiation that can pass through most solid materials. X-rays are commonly used by doctors to examine the bones or organs inside your body and at airports to see inside people`s luggage.
• 2. An X-ray is a picture made by sending X-rays through something, usually someone`s body. She was advised to have an abdominal X-rays.
• 3. If someone or something is X-rayed, an X-ray picture is taken of them. All hand baggage will be X-rayed ... , They took my pulse, took my bllod pressure, and X-rayed my jaw.
  • From Collins Cobuild English Dictiionary)

• "Some of the rays were stopped by the bones and produced a clear shadow of the hand's skeleton".
• One day in 1895 a German scientist named Wilhelm Roentgen discovered an astonishing thing. He was experimenting with the electron rays, shooting them at a coated glass screen. Roentgen happened to pass his hands between the rays and the screen. To his amazement, the shadow of the bones inside his hand appeared instead! Most of the rays were passing right to the flesh of his hand lightining the screen, but some of them were stopped by the bones abd produced a clear shadow of the hand's skeleton. Roentgen had discovered the X-rays.
