Alfred Nobel
1) Alfred Nobel, the great Swedish inventor and industrialist, was a man of many contrasts. He was the son of a bankrupt, but became a millionaire, a scientist who cared for literature, an industrialist who managed to remain an idealist. He made a fortune but lived a simple life, and although cheerful in company he was often sad when remained alone. A lover of mankind, he never had a wife or a family to love him; a patriotic son of his nature land, he died alone in a foreign country. He invented a new explosive, dynamite. World-famous for his works, he was never personally well known as he avoided publicity. However, after his death his name glorified many people.
2) He was born in Stockholm on October 21, 1833 but moved to Russia with his parents in 1842 where his father made a strong position for himself in the engineering industry. But suddenly his father went bankrupt and the family returned to Sweden. Alfred began his own study of explosives in his father’s laboratory. Nobel didn’t go to school or University but studied privately. At twenty he was a skillful chemist and excellent linguist. Like his father he was imaginative and inventive, but he had better luck in business. He built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries.
3) But Nobel never really thought of money or even scientific discoveries. He was always searching for a meaning to life. His greatest wish was to see an end to wars and thus peace between nations. Nobel’s ideas which he expressed long before the threat of nuclear war are the ideals of all progressive people of the world. Nobel died in 1896. His famous will in which he left money to provide prizes for outstanding work in physics, chemistry, physiology, medicine, economics, literature and promotion of world peace is a memorial to his interests and ideals. This will was written in Paris, 1895. Many outstanding scientists, writers and public figures from different countries are Nobel prize winners.

London Underground
1) The fist underground railway in the world opened in London in 1863. On that historic day 30,000 Londoners used this new and strange way of travel. The underground railway covered a distance of almost four miles. London underground carries more than a million passengers every day and this number is constantly growing. In the early days the trains were driven by steam locomotives which burnt coal.
2) The deep tunneling came later in 1890. James Henry Greathead developed a method which made most of London’s tube tunnels possible. London transport’s experience with tunnels brought them another record. One of the longest continuous railway tunnels in the world is 17.5 mile tunnel on the Northern line. There are numerous escalators in the London Underground. The first was installed in 1911. One of them is over 80 feet in length. On long escalators the speed is changeable. The “up” escalator runs at full speed with passengers, but when empty it runs at half speed.
3) Safety was always one of the main concerns of London transport. In spite of the fact that trains often follow each other within seconds, the London Underground is the safest form of transport in the world. New automatic systems are now being used. The air in the Underground is changed every quarter of an hour and the temperature is about 22o
C all year round. Though the quality of service is high there is still significant overcrowding on certain lines at peak periods. The fare in the Underground depends on the distance, but the lowest is 50 pence. The Underground is becoming much cleaner and brighter and therefore more pleasant to use. According to the statistics the crime level in the Underground is rather high. For more safety of passengers and the stuff the transport authorities added more police officers to the Underground System to guarantee as much protection as possible.
2. Answer the following questions in writing:
5) When and where did the first underground railway open?
