In many countries the Vikings were greatly feared. Sweeping down upon towns and villages, they would loot and burn them and then would return to their ships. Sometimes, however, the Vikings would settle in a place and quickly learn the ways of the people.

It is believed that the Vikings established small settlements in North America. These settlements, however, were so far from their homes that they could not be maintained. Because of this, the visits of the Vikings to the New World were not considered as important as the visits of later explorers.

Passage 14:AN IMPORTANT FUEL

One of the most important discoveries of the nineteenth century was ‘a method of using natural gas for cooking and heating.

103

For many years after natural gas was first discovered. It was thought to have no value. Finally, however, people began to understand its uses and to find ways of storing it and of moving it from place to place.

Today natural gas is stored in large tanks and used for lighting, cooking and heating. In many ways natural gas is one of our finest fuels. It can be used for cooking without making the room hot. It is cheap and can be moved easily from one place to another through long pipelines, some of which are hundreds of miles in length. 1. While not stated in the article, you can tell that _______

Many of our great men were poor boys. As boys, these men had small means of obtaining an education. Improving their use of time when they were young and in school helped them to gain their standing.

Passage 17:RING AROUND THE MOON

Have you ever noticed a coloured ring around the moon? According to an old superstition, this ring always means that rain will follow. Another superstition holds that the number of stars within the ring indicates the number of days it will rain.

Actually, the coloured ring means hat clouds containing moisture in the form of tiny ice crystals have formed several miles up. As rays of light from the moon pass through these ice crystals, the rays are bent. Such bent light rays produce the coloured ring. However, such a ring can be seen only when enough moisture has formed in the air. When other weather conditions also exist, these may combine with the moisture to cause rain. The belief, then, is partly correct. The facts show that a ring around the moon means rain is probable. The number of stars within the ring, however, has nothing to do with how long the rain will last. 1. While not stated in the article, you can tell that ________

Passage 18:A LARGE PLANT

The banana plant is one of the largest plants in the world. It sometimes attains a height of thirty feet and may be more than a foot in diameter. Because of its unusual size, it is sometimes called a banana “tree”. The stem of this plant, however, consists of leaves extending one over another. Because it contains no wood or bark, the banana plant is not really a tree.

Each banana plant produces only one bunch of bananas. The bunch is made up of a number of clusters, called hands. When the bananas reach the right size, these hands may be cut off and packed for shipping. As a food, bananas are very valuable. They may be eaten in place of potatoes or bread. If eaten before they are fully ripe, however, bananas are hard to digest. When ripe, the skin of the most common type of banana is yellow with small spots of brown.

Passage 19:MEASURING HEAT

A meter is a measuring device. Just as the speedometer in automobile tells how fast the car is going, a thermometer records how warm or how cold something is.

Thermometers measure heat in degrees. For example, for comfort indoors the temperature in a room should be about 2 1°C. A simple room thermometer can tell us how near to this the temperature in a room is. Other kinds of thermometers are also usçd. One is used to measure the heat of an oven. It shows heat from 38°C to 316°C. Another may be used on an air-conditioner The thermometers used to measure body heat record temperatures from 33°C to 42°C. Other thermometers can be used to show us that water freezes at 0°C. The thermometer used to tell temperature outdoors often records from far below 18°C to about 49°C.

Passage 20:A GOOD BUY

Alaska, which became the forty-ninth state of the United States in 1959, was bought from Russia in 1867. The price paid to the Russian government for this huge piece of land was $7,200,000. Secretary of State Seward arranged the treaty and the purchase. Because people in the United States at that time knew little about Alaska, many of them did not approve of purchasing it. Some jokingly called Alaska “Seward’s Folly”.

However, Alaska proved to be a wonderful buy. Over $450,000,000 in gold has been taken from Alaska since it was bought. Alaska streams and rivers are rich in fish, and so many salmon are caught each year in Alaska that it has developed the largest salmon canning industry in the world.

MIDSUMMER IN FINLAND

0 Midsummer, the celebration of the turning of the sun, has been being, the 00 highlight of the northern summer for centuries - an event full of symbolism,1 customs, magic and superstitions. In Finland, Midsummer night is so short2 as that evening dusk flows into morning dawn almost unnoticed. Even in3 southern Finland, midnight is the best described as strong twilight . 4 Midsummer night was the most of all, the celeberation of greenery and 5 fruit. Nature is in a full bloom then and the day is never - ending. It was 6 customary throughout Finland to bring branches and greenery to indoors on7 Midsummer Eve. Houses were so thoroughly cleaned and decorated with 8 birch branches and flower garlands. This indoor forest was complete when 9 leaves on the scrubbed floor gave out a fresh forest aroma. Midsummer is 10 still the Finn’ most important one summer celebration. They gather together 11 around the bonfire to make dance, play and be with family and friends12 themselves. In some areas Midsummer poles decorated with flower garlands and 13 leaves are erected for the festivities. Although some of the old ceremonies are 14 now performed only for fun, Midsummer right as bathed in the strange 15 white light of the North, is still mysterious.

III. ReadingLouis Braille

Louis Braille was born in France in 1809. His father had a small business. He made shoes and other things from leather. Suddenly the knife slipped and hit him in the eye. Louis soon became completely blind.

When he was 10 years old, he entered the national Institute for the Blind in Paris. Once day his class went to visit special exhibit by a captain in the army. One thing in the exhibit was

113

very interesting for Louis. It showed massage in code. Armies sent massage in secret codes so no one else can read them. The captain wrote this code in raised letters on very thick paper.Louis thought a lot about this code. Then he decided to write in the same way so blind people could “read” with their fingers. It is very difficult to feel the difference between raised letters. .Instead of letters, Louis used a "cell” of six dots. He arranged the dots with two dots across and three down.There are 63possible arrangements of the dots in the Braille system. Each arrangement stand for one letter, Punctuation mark, or number. He also used his system to write music. Louis Braille invented this system when he was only fifteen years old.Blind people can also write Braille. They used a special kind of pen to make the dots.Today there are Braille books in all written languages in the world. However, these books are large and expensive to make. They must be on a special paper. Someone who can see must learn the Braille alphabet and make the raised dots in the paper by hand or with a special typewriter.Now there is an easier way for the blind to “read”. “Talking books” are complete books or magazines on cassette tapes or phonograph records. Blind people listen to the book. Blind people can also write using a typewriter or a computer.

Louis Braille invented a way for blind people to communicate. He invented it before the time of phonographs, tape recorders, typewriters, and computers. When he died in1852, he was buried in the Pantheon in Paris. This is where the national heroes of France are buried, and Louis Braille was a national hero.
