1. Read the text . Translate paragraphs 3, 4 in written form:

Transportation for the 21^st century

1) Experts estimate that in the 21^st century we will go by rocket from New York to Tokyo in 30 minutes. We will be able to reach any other point through tunnels deep in the earth. The prospect is adventurous and exciting.

Trips through metropolitan areas will be made on quiet, swift buses travelling on separate express lines of city streets. Helicopters soon may help solve the complicated problem of getting passengers from the centre to the airport and back again.

2) Most of the advances in air transportation will materialize within the next few years. The largest airplane ever designed for commercial service, capable of seating nearly 500 passengers, is already being built. Supersonic transport prototypes now in development are forerunners of a new generation of 1,800 miles per hour passenger jet-liners.

3) Mankind has entered an age of high speeds, pressures and temperature which could be generated and withstood only with the help of new and hitherto unknown materials.

Of tremendous importance is the creation of new materials. Chemists engaged in polymer research have produced the world’s best synthetic materials.

Metallurgists studying a new class of aluminium alloys have produced a very durable alloy which is being used in aircraft and rocket engineering.

Plastics are employed in a number of aircraft engine applications where they have successfully displaced metals. At present a great deal of research and development is being carried out to produce special grades of plastics for space vehicles. Many plastic materials possess this property, and also offer the advantage of light weight. Astronaut couches, space capsules, missile fuel cases are manufactured of plastic materials.

4) Some ideas of rapid air transportation are on the drawing board, some may never get off. Some are already under way and operational, while others may not take shape until the next decade. But changes are taking place, and there are more to come.

2. Answer the following questions in writing:

1) What kind of transport will people use to get from New York to Tokyo in future?

2) What will be the speed of a passenger jet-liner of a new generation?

The Early Days of the Automobile

5) One of the earliest attempts to propel a vehicle by mechanical power was suggested by Isaac Newton. But the first self-propelled vehicle was constructed by the French military engineer Cugnot in 1763. He built a steam-driven engine which had three wheels, carried two passengers and ran at maximum speed of four miles. The supply of steam lasted only 15 minutes and the carriage had to stop every 100 yards to make more steam.

6) In 1825 a steam engine was built in Great Britain. The vehicle carried 18 passengers and covered 8 miles in 45 minutes. However there were restrictions according to which the speed of the steam-driven vehicle was limited to 4 miles per hour and a man with a red flag had to walk in front of it.

7) From 1860 to 1900 was a period of the application of gasoline engines to motor cars in many countries. The first to perfect gasoline engine was N. Otto who introduced the four-stroke cycle of operation. By that time motor cars got a standard shape and appearance.

In 1896 a run of motor cars took place from London to Brighton to show how reliable the new vehicles were. In fact, many of the cars broke, for the transmissions were still unreliable and constantly gave trouble.

The cars of that time were very small, two-seated cars with no roof, driven by an engine placed under the seat. Motorists had to carry large cans of fuel and separate spare tyres, for there were no repair or filling stations to serve them.

After World War I it became possible to achieve greater reliability of motor cars. Constant efforts were made to standardize common components. Multi-cylinder engines came into use.

8) Like most other great human achievements, the motor car is not the product of any single inventor. Gradually the development of cars driven by internal combustion engine led to the abolition of earlier restrictions. Huge capital began to flow into the automobile industry. From 1908 to 1924 the number of cars in the world rose from 200 thousand to 20 million. No other industry had ever developed at such a rate.

5) Who first offered to propel a vehicle by mechanical power?
