Jean Piaget was
born in Neuchatel, Switzerland on 9th August 1896. He became Known to scientists outside his own country at the age
of only fifteen, when he published a series of articles in scientific
journals. He worked at the
University of Neuchatel and then, in
1925, he became professor of child psychology at the University of Geneva.
He began publishing his famous
series of articles on child education in 1923, an influenced people’s ideas
about child development for the next fifty years. In 1955 he started an important academic center at the
University of Geneva, and became its
first director. He continued as
director of this center when he retired from the university in 1971. He was honored by bany universities,
including Cambridge and Harvard, and won many scientific prizes. The famous child psychologist died on 16 th
September 1980, when he was eighty-four

An Interview with Dr. Adam Crocker
Interviewer: Good
evening, tonight on “The World Now” program we have the eminent scientist Dr.
Adam Crocker. Good evening Dr.
Crocker.
Dr. Croker: Good evening and
thank you for inviting me to be on your program.
Int. Thank you for coming. You won the international Science Prize recently. When exactly was that?.
Dr. Two years ago, I won the prize with Dr. Heinz
Luttiger. It’was for our work in
nuclear physics.
Int. I Know your work
is very complex but can you tell us, in simple terms, why it won such and
important prize?
Dr. Well, it helped to produce
the new generation of nuclear reactors.
You know, they are more efficient than conventional reactors. Our work was theoretical but other people
used it to produce the new reactors.
Int. Yes, I see.
Now tell us about yourself; where were you born? Did you want to be a scientist when you
were at school?
Dr. Hmm. . . I was born in Dundee, Scotland. My father was a car mechanic so I didnt want
to be a scientist; I wanted to be a mechanic like him. I wetnt to the local school and then to St.
Andrew’s University.
Int. Yes, interesting, but how did you become a scientist?
Dr. I think I said I was interested in machines. Well, from there I became interested in
science.
Int. Really? Now then, you mentioned your colleague Dr.
Luttiger a few minutes ago. How did
you meet him and why did you decide to work together?.
Dr.
I met Luttiger at a scientific conference in Zurich, Switzerland. Hi work was very similar to may own at
that time. So, when Cambridge
University offered me facilities for my research, I invited him to work with
me.
Int. He died recently, didn´t
he?
Dr. Yes, he was older than
me.
Int. Finally, Dr. Crocker,
what was the secret of your success?
Dr. Patience, I think. A good
scientist must have patience.
Int. Dr. Crocker, thank you
very much indeed.

The Search for New Drugs
1 After Louis Pasteur discovered that infections were causes by bacteria, many scientists began to study these tiny organisms. Soon they were able to identify many kinds of bacteria that caused diseases. Much later, an even tinier kind of infective agent called a “virus” was discovered. All this information about bacteria and viruses helped scientist find out more about the cause and cure of infectious disease.
2 One of the most powerful killers of bacteria and viruses was discovered quite by accident in the fall of 1928. At taht time, in his basement laboratory in London, a bacteriologist, Dr. Alexander Fleming was looking for a substance that would kill bacteria. In order to observe their growth, he had spread some small plates containing the bacteria on his laboratory desk. One evening he accidentally failed to place a cover on one of the plates.
3 When Fleming arrived the next morning, he saw that the plate had gathered mold during the night. This did not surprise him, for the basement was damp and ventilated only by a partly opened window. But what he saw next did surprise him. Around the outside of the unvocered plate the bacteria were still flourishing, while in the area close to the mold there were none. Tehy had somehow disappeared. He transfered the mold, which he named penicillin, to a clean plate and let it multiply for two weeks. Then he began to experiment with penicillin and found it would destroy bacteria in a test tube. Would it, he wondered, do the same to bacteria in the human body?.
4 In 1929, Fleming wrote a report on his laboratory experiments, presented it at a medical meeting, and had it printed in scientific journals. But for ten years, while he continued to experiment with penicillin, this importan news was largely ignored by the scientic world.
5 Meanwhile, another powerful killer of bacteria and viruses was also discovered by accident. In Germany a group of scientists were working on the improvement of dyes that were used for colors in the textile industry. One of the scientists, whose name was Gerhard Domagk, injected a small amount of one of the red dyes into some mice thar were dying from an infection. The mice recovered quickly. After further experiments, Domagk derived a drug from the red dye that became know as the first of the sulfa drugs.

VI. Active Recognition
According to you, which summary reflects the main ideas contained in the text “The discovery of Penicillin and sulfa Drugs” better: A or B? Justify your choice with evidence from the text.
Summary A. Louis Pasteur discovered that infections were caused by bacteria, and many scientists identified numerous kinds of bacteria. In the fall of 1928. Dr. Alexander Fleming left some plates containing bacteria on his laboratory desk. But, one evening he did not cober one of the plates. The next morning he found penicillin in that plate. Meanwhile sulfa drugs were discovered in Germany by Gerhard Domagk. He injected a red dye into some sick mice. Tehy recovered. The red dye was the beginning of sulfa drugs.
Summamy B. After Louis Pasteur discovered that infections were caused by bacteria, another infective agent called a virus was discovered. In 1928 Dr. Alexander Fleming accidentally discovered a powerful killer of bacteria: penicillin. He failed to cover a plate containing bacteria in his damp laboratory. There was mold on the plate, and the bacteria had disappeared. Fleming called this mold “penicillin”. Meanwhile, in Germany, Gerhard Domagk discovered, also accidentally, another killer of bacteria and viruses, when he was working on the improvement of dyes. He derived sulfa drugs from a red dye.
