PART III. READING

Most of us think that great ideas were the result of genius thinking. However, many of the greatest discoveries and inventions in history began with very simple beginnings.
In the 18th century, James Watt was boiling water at home. As the water began to boil, he suddenly noticed that the steam was pushing the lid of the kettle. From this, he created the steam engine.
In ancient Greece time, Archimedes stepped into a bath tub and felt that water was being pushed out when he stepped in. This is how he came up with the idea of how to find the purity of gold.
In the 17th century, Isaac Newton was sitting under a tree when an apple fell and hit him on the head. This is when he realized the pulling force of the earth - the gravity.
There are many other examples of how great ideas began with simple beginnings. What one needs to become an inventor are careful observation and a lot of hard work.

More than one statement can be matched to a spaceship.//
You will listen TWICE.//

Audio script:
The NASA program Apollo included 11 spaceflights in total. Apollo 1 was supposed to be the first manned flight to be launched on January 27, 1967. However, as the spacecraft was ready for a pre-launch test, a fire broke out, killing all three of the crew members. Investigations into the accident led to major design and engineering changes, making Apollo spacecraft safer for the coming journeys.
Apollo 11 was the first to land humans on the moon. Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on July 20, 1969. They spent more than two hours outside the spacecraft, and collected 47.5 pounds (21.5 kg) of lunar material.
Apollo 13 may be the most well-known next to Apollo 11, since its mission was made into a Hollywood movie. Apollo 13 was the third spacecraft intended to land on the Moon. However, it couldn’t because an oxygen tank exploded. Despite great hardship, the crew returned safely to  Earth on April 17.

I think, the Internet is the greatest invention ever. Think how it has changed the world. So much information is out there. It has totally changed my life. I can now chat with friends, download music, buy books online, and get all the information I need, for my homework. It usually took days, or weeks, to do any of these things, before the Internet.// I really like emails. They are so fast. And now I can make friends, with people around the world easily. The feeling of waiting for emails from friends, is awesome. .// A long way from the snail mails, I used to know. I spend hours every day online. I think I am spending a little bit too much time on it. I’m sure, that staring at a computer screen all day, isn’t good for my eyes.// I think the Internet is also making me fat. I need to exercise a little bit more. The only thing I don’t like about the Internet, is that it can be hacked. I never put my personal information online, especially on social networking sites like the Facebook.
