10) Many foreign students and post-graduates study at our higher schools, don’t
they?
7.15 After having listened to the text for the second time write down its main
ideas in English or in Russian
7.16 Title the text being read by the teacher
The world knows the names of many great scientists: mathematicians, physicists,
chemists, biologist, linguists, historians, etc. A lot of discoveries have been made by
them in different fields of science and engineering. But the greatest event of the 20
th
century was the Flight of Man into space.
Special merit here belongs to Russian scientists. K. E. Tsiolkovsky is one of them.
K. Tsiolkovsky was born in 1879 in a small Russian village near Ryazan. Through all
his life he had been working on the problem of interplanetary travel. He worked out the
theory of cosmic flights. Tsiolkovsky believed that “mankind will not remain on Earth
forever” and he dreamt to see that. But he died in 1935.
The man who was standing behind Soviet space strategy from the 1930s was Sergei
Pavlovich Korolev. An outstanding scientist he devoted all his life to rocket research,
constructing artificial satellites.
The first artificial sputnik was launched on October 4, 1957. The Russians have
every right to be proud of it. Some years later the most remarkable event in the history
of cosmonautics took place. On April 12, 1961 the spaceship “Vostok”, piloted by Yuri
Gagarin, went up. It is due to Korolev’s genius and some other top engineers’ talent that
Russia became the world leader in conquering space.
Yuri Gagarin was the first man who made his historic flight into space. The whole
world applauded this handsome young man. He orbited the earth once, staying in space
only for 108 minutes, but he was the first to fly to stars.
