ПОЖАЛУЙСТА ВЫРУЧАЙТЕ ,помогите перевести текст и сделать задания TWO GENERATIONS1 OF THE CURIES2 More than 100 years have passed since the birth of Marie SklodowskaCurie (l867-l934), an outstanding Polish scientist, whose discoveries in physics and chemistry began the era of the utilization of atomic energy. Marie lived to see her story repeated. Her daughter Irene grew into a woman with the same interests as her mothers and she was deeply interested in her mothers work. From Marie she learned all about radiology, about opened by her mother element radium and chose science for her career. At twenty-nine Irene married Frederic Joliot, a brilliant scientist at the Institute of Radium, which her parents, Marie and Pierre had founded. Frederic Joliot was born in Paris in 1900. He first studied engineering and then chemistry. Together the Joliot-Curies carried on the research work that Irenes mother had begun. In 1935 Irene and her husband won the Nobel Prize for their discovery of artificial3 radioactivity. So, Marie lived to see the completion4 of the great work, but she died on the eve5 of the award. In 1946 Joliot was appointed scientific adviser to the International Atomic Energy Commission of the United Nations. Frederic Joliot-Curie was not only a famous scientist, but also a famous leader of the progressive movement for human rights. The two generations of the Curies devoted their lives to science. Pierre Curie, famous for his discoveries in magnetism, provided an example of deep dedication6 to research. Marie, her daughter Irene and Irenes husband Frederic all died from radiation sickness, the result of long years of work with radioactive substances. There is no parallel in the records of science to the dynasty of the Curies. Notes to the text: 1 generation – поколение 2 the Curies – династия Кюри 3 artificial – искусственный 4 completion – завершение 5 on the eve – накануне 6 dedication – посвящение Задание 2.

Помогите перевести текст. Churchill Community School in Somerset is a place where pupils and staff have mastered the art of getting what they want out of their computers. Like many schoolboys, Philip Eagle and his friends enjoy making paper aeroplanes. The only difference is that these boys are being given lips by a computer. "Its physics, aeronautics and education," insists Philip. He forgets to add that its also a pleasant way of passing the time during the morning break. He is currently working on his personal statement for the UCAS university entrance form. "Ive word-processed it so I can get more words into the space on the form. Apart from that, it looks much better type-written." He is one of the many pupils at Churchill Community School who have chosen to spend their twenty minutes of freedom in the learning resource centre. Here they can borrow books, do last-minute homework, catch up on gossip or take a turn on one of the computers that are always available for them to use. Students use the computers for a wide variety of tasks. Ian Blomfield, for example, used a CD-ROM of back-issues of The Times and Sunday Times, along with the electronic encyclopedia Encarta, to find out about environ-. mental damage caused by oil-tanker disasters. But he was able to go a step further. He used E-mail to pick the brains of campaigners and Friends of the Earth. "There was no other way we could have got such up-to-date information," he says. Because of a technologically advanced link to the Internet, twenty-eight computers can remain permanently on line. Cliff Harris, the schools computer technician, explains that pupils can use the Internet as easily as any piece of software. "A lot of students are likely to have a PC at home in their room," he adds. "They go home and have conversations with their schoolmates on the Internet." Most children seem to use their PC in a way that would please any teacher. Charles Palmer, who can also be found in the resource centre at break-time, says, "I didnt exactly learn to read using a computer, but it was the adventure game Monkey Island that made me really want to learn. If I couldnt read what was on the screen, I couldnt play the game." Charles also uses his PC for designing his familys Christmas cards. Helen Brown finds that her PC is an invaluable home tutor that can offer her that little extra bit of help. "Sometimes there are things in algebra or biology that teachers only go over once, and I dont understand them. But I can use a program Ive got at home which explains it again and again until I do understand it!" However, she isnt impressed by the possibility of computers replacing teachers. "You cant ask a computer questions," she says. "It just asks you." Her view seems widely shared. "It would be totally boring," says Chris Richmond. "Youd switch the machine off, or switch oft yourself." Nevertheless, he is currently using his PC to write an article on passive smoking, and claims that he is being given the chance to write the best essay he could possibly write with the use of his computer. Pupils without access to a computer at home are obviously at some disadvantage. The school tries hard to make up for this, however. They want all pupils to have a chance to take advantage of this valuable, interesting -and often fun - form of technology.
