3 READING a You are going to find out about how scientists throughout history have suffered to make their discoveries. Read the extracts and label the illustrations A-D. How many of the scientists actually died as a result of their research? Throughout history scientists have risked their health and their lives in their seard! for the truth ... A Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist was a genius, but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the most bizarre experiments. Once, while investigating how lenses transm~ light he inserted a long needle into his eye, pushed ~ to the back. and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Miraculously, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his vision. Again he escaped suffering permanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered. In the 17505 the Swedish chemist Kart Sdleele was the first I person to find a way to manufacture phosphorus. He in fact discovered eight more elements induding chlorine, though he didn't get the credit for any of them. He was a brilliant scientist but his one failing was a curious insistence on tasting a little of every substance 'he worked ~, induding mercury and cyanide . This risky practice finally caught up ~ him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded by a large number of toxic chemicals, any of which might have been responsible for his death. C In the early 19005 when Pierre and Marie Curie discovered radiation, nobody realized what a dangerous and deadly phenomenon ~ was - in fact most people thought that ~ was beneficial. There was even a hotel in New York which, in the 1920's, advertised 'the therapeutic effect of ~ radioactive waters'. Both Pierre and Marie Curie experienced radiation sickness and Marie Curie died of leukaemia in 1934. Even now, all her papers from the 18905, even her cookbooks, are too dangerous to touch. Her laboratory books are kept in special lead boxes and people who want to see them have to wear protective clothing. Marie's husband Pierre, however, did not die from radiation - ~ he was run over by a carriage while crossing the street in Paris. l D Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist He spent a large part of his lije investigating craters on the moon, and how they were formed, and later did research into the comets of the planet Jup~er. g> t In 1997 he and his wije were in the Australian desert where they -€went every year to search for places where comets might have hit ~ the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert. normally one of the ~ emptiest places in the world, another vehicle crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed instantly. Some of his ashes were sent to the ~ moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and scattered there - '< he is the only person who has had this honour. ~ 'CD E j b Read the extracts again and answer the questions.
