Answer 1

Ответ:

Sir Isaac Newton, a seventeenth century (1) scientist was a genius, but that didn't stop him from doing some stupid things.

In his (2) laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while investigating how lenses transmit light, he (3)inserted a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would (4) happen. Miraculously, nothing long-lasting did.

On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear to discover what (5) effect this would have on his vision. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes (6) recovered.

B

In the early 1900s when Marie Curie and her husband Pierre (7) discovered radiation, nobody realized what a dangerous and (8) deadly phenomenon it was - in fact most people thought that it was beneficial. There was even a hotel in New York which, in the 1920s, advertised the medicinal effect of its (9) radioactive waters. Marie experienced radiation (10)sikness and died of leukaemia. Even now, all her papers from the 1890s are too dangerous to (11)touch. Her laboratory books are kept in special lead boxes and people who want to see them have to wear (12) protective clothing.

Перевод:

Сэр Исаак Ньютон, ученый семнадцатого века (1), был гением, но это не мешало ему делать некоторые глупости. В своей (2) лаборатории в Кембридже он часто проводил самые странные эксперименты.  Однажды, исследуя, как линзы пропускают свет, он (3) вставил длинную иглу себе в глаз, толкнул ее назад, а затем подвигал ею, просто чтобы посмотреть, что (4) произойдет. Чудом не произошло ничего плохого, что длилось бы долго.

В другой раз он смотрел на солнце так долго, как только мог, чтобы понять, какое (5) влияние это окажет на его зрение.  Он снова избежал необратимого повреждения, хотя ему пришлось провести несколько дней в затемненной комнате, прежде чем его глаза (6) восстановились.

B

B в начале 1900-х годов, когда Мария Кюри и ее муж Пьер (7) открыли радиацию, никто не осознавал, насколько это опасное и (8) смертоносное явление - на самом деле большинство людей думало, что оно полезно.  В Нью-Йорке был даже отель, который в 1920-х годах рекламировал целебный эффект своих (9) радиоактивных вод. Мари перенесла лучевую (10)болезнь и умерла от лейкемии.  Даже сейчас все ее бумаги 1890-х годов слишком опасны, чтобы (11) их трогать.  Ее лабораторные журналы хранятся в специальных свинцовых коробках, и люди, которые хотят их увидеть, должны носить (12) защитную одежду.#SPJ1
