Sir Humphry Davy

Sir Humphry Davy was best known as a chemist and inventor. When he was only
23, he was appointed lecturer at the Royal Institution of London. He did very important
work at the Royal Institution of London during his time, now called the Royal Institution
of Great Britain. His scientific discoveries and books made it possible for other scientists
to make their own discoveries and inventions relating to electricity.

Davy invented the safety lamp an invention that helped coal miners to work safely
in underground mines. During his time, there were many explosions in coal mines. The
miners used lamps to help them see in the dark. The accidents were caused by the
underground gas or firedamp catching fire, due to the open flames from the lamps that
the miners carried.

Worried over the number of people who were killed in mine explosions, the coal
mine owners went to see Davy and asked him to try help them. Using his knowledge of
chemistry and his excellent skills in scientific testing, Davy made a discovery. He found
that, although firedamp was a gas, it could not pass-through tiny holes.

So, Davy made a safety lamp-named the Davy lamp-that could burn oil to give
out light. However, it had a metal frame with tiny holes to keep out the firedamp and
prevent the flammable gas from catching fire and exploding. This invention successfully
prevented any firedamp outside the lamp from becoming hot enough to catch fire.

A Cruise
By Betty A.R.

As I write this, I am travelling on a cruise ship with my aunt. The whole

family came, but my dad had to work and my mum stayed with him. It always
happens. My brother is here as well, but I am trying not to see him! I am glad my
grandparents stayed at home. They get seasick.

The ship is huge. There are great swimming pools, one is indoors and the
other is on the top deck. There are lots of restaurants and cafes. I have got a
favourite cafe that serves delicious fruit juice. I always get lost trying to find it
because it is a long way from our cabins.

We are going to stop in a port tomorrow. It is on one of the smaller islands

in the Caribbean Sea, but I do not recall the name of the port. I do not think there
is much to do there, but I want to find a present for my mum.

My cabin is small, but I really like it. There is no shower in the room, but
I have got my own TV and there is Wi-Fi. The best thing is the balcony. I can sit
and look at the sea. There are lots of big fish that follow the ship. I love it when
they jump out of the water.

I am going for a swim now and then my brother wants me to watch him
play a crazy ball game. It is not hard to play, just boring to watch.

Questions 35 to 40
You are going to read a text about fire and its uses by man.
Six sentences have been removed from the article. Choose from the sentences (A-H) to fit each
gap (35-40). There are two extra sentences which you do not need to use.
For each question, mark the correct answer (A-H) on your answer sheet.

Fire

Fire is the heat and light that is produced by the burning of something. It can be an

advantage or a disadvantage to man, depending on whether it is useful or harmful during its use.

35 Early man, who retreated to caves in the night, was in constant fear of wild

animals which could harm him. Under the cover of darkness, these predators could spring on

and attack him. Fire, thus, gave him the ability to see his surrounding more clearly. 36

With the light supplied by fire, early man could also use his nights. He could be more

productive and efficient, thus helping him to survive better in his harsh environment and making

him superior to animals.

Fire protected early man from being attacked by wild animals. 37 Fire, thus,

gave him the means to defend himself against harm. The heat from fire also protected him

during cold temperatures and nights. 38

Fire was even used in improving the tools, and forming new tools, that early man used

for hunting and cutting meat. Spears were hardened over a fire and then used to hunt man's prey.

39

40 Meat and vegetables were eaten raw, but no one can deny the tasty delights

of barbecued meat and cooked vegetables. Cooked food also meant that man ate better and had

fewer diseases.

8
A One of the best uses of fire is the production of light.

B Fire enabled early man to cook his food.

C In fact, attacks by predatory animals reduced when man started using flame torches.

D There were more advantages with the use of fire.

E This allowed him to hunt better and consume more meat.

F Fire was discovered by early man by accident.

G This allowed him to live through harsh weather in colder environments.

H Visibility in the dark became man's best advantage.
