Nuclear Radiation

The main difficulty

He must go.

Time for fun

Two men were going in a train. One of them asked the other:

-“Are you going to Brown's lecture today”?

-“Yes, I am”, said the other.

-“Take my advice and don't go”, said the first. “I heard that he is a very bad lecture”.

-“I can't help it”, said the other, “I must go, I am Browns”.

At a college examination a professor asked:”Does the question embarrass you”?

-“Not at all, sir”, replied the student, “not at all. The question is quite clear. It is the answer that bothers me”.

III.Supplementary reading

Nuclear radiation is not a new phenomenon. From the beginning of time, man has always been subjected to natural, or background, radiation from radioactive elements such as uranium, thorium, radium, and other substances which are everywhere in the earth. This radiation is present in small amounts in the air we breathe, the food we eat, the water we drink, and the earth under our feet.

Cosmic rays are also part of this natural radiation to which everyone is constantly exposed. Cosmic rays are nuclear particles of very high ener­gy which strike the earth from outer space.

Man-made radiation, while highly beneficial, can be extremely dange­rous if not used under careful control. But in this respect, it is not essen­tially different from man-made electricity, a familiar and indispensable household and industrial servant, but one which can be a formidable ene­my when out of control. One easy way to understand radiation and its place in our economy, as a matter of fact, is to continue this comparison with electricity. Nuclear radiation cannot be seen, heard, felt, tasted, or smelt. Electricity, though it can be felt, likewise cannot be seen, heard, tasted, or smelt during its normal operation and use.

Nuclear radiation is a new force in our daily lives, as electricity was less than a century ago.

There are five billion people in the world and they live in all different corners of it. They live on the snow and ice of the Poles and in the tropical jungles on the equator. They have climbed the highest mountains and walked on the sea bed. Some of them have even left the earth and visited the moon.

The human species is the most numerous and the most powerful of all the animals on earth. How did this happen? In many ways, animals can do things better than we can. Dogs can smell and hear better than we can. Cats can see in the dark. Birds

fly thousands of miles away and return to the same place every year. But we aredifferent. No other animal builds cathedrals, plays football, tells jokes, gets married, has prisons, writes symphonies, elects presidents, or goes to the moon.

There is one thing above all that makes people and 20 animals different. People love to talk-talk-talk. We are the great communicators! And we can communicate so many things in so many ways - with our faces, our hands, our bodies, and our voices. Most important of all, we can record what we say and think in writing, so that we can communicate through time. We have a sense of past and future, not just present.

We are the only species that can change the world, and we are the only species that can choose either to look after our world or to destroy it.

1. Is the human species the most numerous and the most powerful?

2. What is the difference between people and animals?

3. Who is the greatest communicator in the world?
