3. a) You are going to read about great scientists of the USA and the UK. Look through the glossary.

b) Work in two groups. Group 1, read text A about famous scientists of the UK. Group 2, read text B about famous scientists of the USA. Answer the questions below.

A. British scientists have made great contributions to physics and biology.

Charles Darwin is a genius belonging to the nation. He worked on the famous theory, which explored the birth and evolution of living organisms.

Isaac Newton, a British physicist and mathematician, revolutionised the world of science through his outstanding discoveries. He developed new laws of mechanics, gravity and motion.

James Maxwell's greatest contribution to science included works on electric and magnetic fields, theory of gases, optics and colour, which gave birth to colour photography. The list is endless.

Sir Alexander Fleming, a biologist, was awarded the Nobel Prize for his discovery of the antibiotic penicillin in 1928.

Michael Faraday, a physicist and chemist, an electrical engineer Ralph Benjamin are a few other world-known scientists produced by the country.

The greatest 20^th century British scientists include a famous chemist Rosalind Franklin who discovered the structure of DNA molecule and the molecular structure of viruses. Her team member Aaron Klug continued her research, winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1982.

Stephen Hawking was a theoretical physicist and cosmologist known for his study of the black holes. Computers would probably have been non-existent if it wasn't for famous British mathematician, Alan Turing. Sir Tim Berners-Lee is a British computer scientist who created one of the most revolutionary inventions of the 20^th century – the World Wide Web.

B. The United States is one of the most technologically advanced nations in the world. In fact, two of America's founding fathers – Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson – were well-known scientists. The 19^th-century America saw the birth of great engineers and inventors, including a steamboat builder Robert Fulton, Samuel Morse – a Morse code and single-wire telegraph inventor and the genius Thomas Edison, who has been described as America's greatest inventor. His inventions, which include the motion picture camera, the phonograph (a sound recorder), the microphone and the electric light bulb, had a widespread influence on the modern world. One of the biggest innovations by the 19^th-century Americans was the designing and building of the world's first successful airplane by brothers Wright.

In the 20^th century, Americans like Herman Hollerith and Robert Goddard made pioneering technological advances in telecommunications and space technology. American scientists have dominated the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine since World War II.

The nation is also home to some of the great scientists alive today. Among them is American physicist and cosmologist Alan Guth, who explained why the cosmos is as large as it is. James Watson, an American molecular biologist and geneticist, is known as the co-discoverer of the structure of the DNA – for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize.
