X-ray Read the text and guess the missing information
The first X-ray photograph was taken by a …….. scientist, Wilhelm Kondrad Röntgen, in 1896. It was his wife´s ……….
X-rays were discoverd by accident, while Röntgen was experimenting with ………. Soon after, he built the first X-ray machine. Immediately, hospital operations were made much safer. For the first time, doctors could see inside people´s bodies before they cut them open. In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the very first Nobel Prize in ………. His invention is still used every day by ……….. and …………., and is called the ´window into the human body´. One of the newest methods in medicine used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes is ……………………… - a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken in different directions which can be combined into a three-dimensional image of the inside of the body.
Since the introduction of computer imaging in the 19...0s, X-ray machines have been used for other things, too. At airports, ……………………………. Also, lost works of art have been discovered underneath other paintings. In factories, many faults in new products are found evry day, using X-rays. There is no doubt that new uses for X-rays will be developed in the future.

X-ray The first X-ray photograph was taken by a German scientist, Wilhelm Kondrad Röntgen, in 1896. It was his wife´s hand.X-rays were discoverd by accident, while Röntgen was experimenting with electricity. Soon after, he built the first X-ray machine. Immediately, hospital operations were made much safer. For the first time, doctors could see inside people´s bodies before they cut them open. In 1901, Röntgen was awarded the very first Nobel Prize in Physics. His invention is still used every day by doctors and dentists, and is called the ´window into the human body´. One of the newest methods in medicine used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes is CT scanning (Computed thomopgraphy) - a large series of two-dimensional X-ray images taken in different directions which can be combined into a three-dimensional image of the inside of the body. Since the introduction of computer imaging in the 1970s, X-ray machines have been used for other things, too. At airports, many criminals have been caught with illegal items in their luggage. Also, lost works of art have been discovered underneath other paintings. In factories, many faults in new products are found evry day, using X-rays. There is no doubt that new uses for X-rays will be developed in the future.

Paper Read the text and guess the missing information
Long ago, before paper, people wrote on ……, …… and …… . Then in 2700 BC, the …… started to make papyrus, paper-like material produced from the Cyperus papyrus plant. But the first real paper was invented in the …… century AD by a Chinese government official, Ts´ai Lun. It was made from a mixture of plants and cloth. The Chinese had kept their invention secret for centuries.Finally, in the …… century, paper was brought to Europe by the …… . The first European paper mill was built in Spain in 1150. Since the 18th century, most paper has been made out of …… (the most common material is cellulose pulp derived from ……), because it is much stronger than cloth.Nowadays, each person uses about …… kg of paper every year. Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years leading to increase in …… .

PaperLong ago, before paper, people wrote on animal skins, bones and stones. Then in 2700 BC, the Egyptians started to make papyrus, paper-like material produced from the Cyperus papyrus plant. But the first real paper was invented in the 2nd century AD by a Chinese government official, Ts´ai Lun. It was made from a mixture of plants and cloth. The Chinese had kept their invention secret for centuries.Finally, in the 10th century, paper was brought to Europe by the Arabs. The first European paper mill was built in Spain in 1150. Since the 18th century, most paper has been made out of wood (the most common material is cellulose pulp derived from wood), because it is much stronger than cloth.Nowadays, each person uses about 300 kg of paper every year. Worldwide consumption of paper has risen by 400% in the past 40 years leading to increase in deforestation.

DNA Read the text and guess the missing information
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) was discovered by a …… scientist, Friedrich Miescher, in 1869, but nobody realized its importance then. Other scientists thought that it was too simple to contain the map of how we are made. In ……, a group of British scientists at Cambridge University finally discoverd the structure of DNA and how it worked. They were given the Nobel Prize for …… in 1962. Gradually, scientists learned to read more and more of the information in DNA. In 1986, for the first time DNA testing was used by the …… . Some DNA is usually left by a criminal at the crime scene. This can be matched with DNA from a suspect. The test shows if the suspect is guilty. In 1990 the Human Genome Project was begun. Scientists wanted to make a map of the 3 billion chemical letters in human DNA. Over …… scientists all over the world worked on the project, and it took …… years. With this information, it is possible that a cure for many diseases will be found in the future. But it also brings with it many questions. Do we want to be able to choose what our babies will look like, or pick the best person for a job with DNA tests?

In 1953, a group of British scientists at Cambridge University finally discoverd the structure of DNA and how it worked. They were given the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1962. Gradually, scientists learned to read more and more of the information in DNA. In 1986, for the first time DNA testing was used by the police.

Scientists wanted to make a map of the 3 billion chemical letters in human DNA. Over 1,000 scientists all over the world worked on the project, and it took 10 years. With this information, it is possible that a cure for many diseases will be found in the future. But it also brings with it many questions. Do we want to be able to choose what our babies will look like, or pick the best person for a job with DNA tests? 712. června 2013
Technologies using DNA:- Genetic engineering – the genetically modified organisms are
produced and used in agriculture - Forensics – the police gather ´genetic fingerprints´ at a crime
scene to identify criminals- Bioinformatics - the Human Genome Project - DNA nanotechnology- History and anthropology

Google Read the text and guess the missing information
Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry …… and Sergey …… . Them met in 1995, when they were both studying computer science at Stanford University, USA. They were also both fans of the science fiction TV programme …… , and they loved the spaceship computer. They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.Internet search engines at the time were slow and gave many websites that weren´t useful. In January ……, L. …… and S. …… decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the result should be based on the popularity of each website – the most popular ones have the highest number of ´weblinks´.Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their credit cards and bought as much computer memory as possible. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $...... , and they started their own company. The first office was in a friend´s……. . The company name Google comes from ……………….The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and accurate. By …… it was the biggest search engine on the Internet.

GoogleGoogle is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $ 100,000, and they started their own company. The first office was in a friend´s garage. The company name Google comes from mathematics. A ´google´is a very hight number – 1 followed by a hundred zeros.The Google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and accurate. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet.

Topics to discussion
• Famous Czech inventors (apart from Jára Cimrman)• Compare the life in the past and in the present, make
speculations about the life in the future• Inventions and technology that you use every day (at school,
at work, at home)• Advantages that science and technology brought to people
(medicine, transport, environment, banking, media, history…)• Disadvantages of science and technology (cloning,
agriculture, GM products, civilization diseases, communication…)
• Misuse of science and technology (weapons, pollution, animal testing, organ trafficking/trade,…)
