X-RAY
One day in the year 1895, the German physicist Wilhelm Konrad von Roentgen was exper imenting with the conduction of electrical charges through gases contained in a vacuum tube. Suddenly he found that the radiation was passing through objects that were opaque to ordinary light. The discovery was startling, and years after a curious friend asked the pro fessor: «What did you think, when this happened!» «I didn’t think,» he replied, «I experimented.» He named his discovery X-RAYS, the X signifying that the nature of the radiation was unknown.

3. A glimpse of Great Britain. Teens and Internet
Today`s young people feel themselves lost, helpless and alone without the Internet. They do not know how people survived without it!
The number of teenagers using the Internet is growing around the world. According to a recent study, teens are much brighter with computers than adults and use the Internet more often and for more varied reasons — to communicate with friends, to make new friends, to play games, download music, get news, shop, research homeworks and ask health questions.
Email is losing its privileged place among teens. It’s only used to communicate with ‘adults’, such as teachers. Young people prefer instant messaging (IM) and text messaging as ways to connect with their friends. IM is already hugely popular in Great Britain and its advantages are obvious.
