Like several great inventors, Dr. Percy Spencer made his most famous discovery by accident. He was testing a new piece of radar technology called “magnetron” in a laboratory in 1946 when the candy bar in his pocket started to cook. This interested him, so he put some corn next to the magnetron - and that cooked too! The next day Dr. Spencer and his colleague placed an egg near the magnetron. Dr. Spencer's curious colleague took a step closer to check the egg - just in time for it to explode and cover his face! After a short time, the company Dr. Spencer worked for was trying to find a more controlled way to use this microwave energy to cook food. In 1947, the first microwave oven became available. It was almost two metres tall and weighed over 350 kilos! Finally in 1966 technology became advanced enough to produce microwaves for everyday domestic use. By then they were much smaller and easier to control. Nowadays you can see microwave ovens all over the world. They are here to stay. 28. Dr. Spencer discovered that ___.

The third time I had - crossed line — I could hear two people having a personal conversation. The fourth time, I managed to speak to Tom, and we exchanged a few words, then we were cut off and we lost the connection. I got very angry Mike: And ? Nick: When I tried again later, he wasn’t in the office. Mike: But Nick, tell me, what did you want to tell your brother so urgently? Nick: That my home telephone is out of order. Tom is the Head of the Telecom Department. II. Listen to Tom's imagined description of what an alien from another planet may be like and tick true (T) or False (F). You can hear the passage twice. I think the inhabitants of Jupiter may be very different to human beings. This is how imagine them: They may be much bigger and more powerful than humans. Jupiterians may have eight legs and be able to move very fast. They may have a lot of hair all over their bodies and their skin might be very thin so they can live in temperatures of around - 145 degrees Celsius. They may have four eyes and be able to see very far. They may also have a very good sence of smell and they may even be able to sense others' feelings like happiness or fear. And I don't think they eat and drink like us. Instead, they get all their energy from the rocks. They may charge their bodies by plugging their feet into the rock, just like charging a battery. That way, they don't even need to breathe air.The only way they may be similar to us is they live in family units of parents and children. They may also use language to communicate with each other.
