SAMUEL P. LANGLEY

Samuel P.Langley was respected physicist, as well as an early pioneer in aviation. He was born August 22, 1834, in Roxbury, Massachusetts, near Boston. He became interested in experimental science early in his life, building a telescope as a boy with his brother and making astronomical observations. His formal education ended with his graduation from the Boston High School in 1851.

He worked in an architectural office in Boston and at Harvard College, and in 1864 and 1865 he visited observatories and research centers in Europe with his brother. In 1866 he became an assistant professor of mathematics at the United States Naval Academy, where he had charge of a small observatory. The next year he became professor of physics and astronomy at the Western University of Pennsylvania. In 1889 he was elected secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, the national museum and center for research in Washington, DC. He held this position until his death.

Langley began studies on heavier-than-air flight in Pennsylvania; and he continued these studies at the Smithsonian Institution. After studying the source of power in bird flight, he constructed steam-powered models which flew successfully and attracted considerable attention. The Smithsonian awarded him $50,000 for the construction of a full-size passenger-carrying machine, or aerodrome, as Langley called it. A quarter-size model, equipped with a water-cooled gasoline engine was flown successfully, but the full-size machine, catapulted from a houseboat on the Potomac River October 8, 1903, and again on December 8, failed both times. Discouraged by newspaper criticism, public misunderstanding, and lack of funds for further experiments, Langley discontinued his work in aeronautics.

In 1914, eight years after Langley's death, several changes were made in his "aerodrome" machine, and it was flown at Hammondsport, N.Y., by Glenn H.Curtiss. The United States Navy honored Langley by naming its first aircraft carrier after him. An Air Force Base in Virginia is also named after him.

When dear old Mrs Bram went back to London after (1) ________ with the Hunters, she sent the children a doll’s house. It was so big that it had to be left in the courtyard, and there it stayed on two wooden boxes. (2) ________ could come to it; it was summer. And perhaps the smell of paint would have gone off by the time it had to be taken in. For, really, the smell of paint coming from that doll’s house was quite enough to make anyone (3) ________ ill.

There stood the doll’s house, dark, oily green. Its two solid chimneys, fixed to the roof, were painted red and white, and the floor was yellow. Four windows, real windows, were divided into four again by broad lines of green.

The perfect, perfect little house! Who could possible (4) ________ to the smell? It was part of the joy, part of the newness.

The hook at the side was stuck. Pat opened it with his knife and the whole house front swung back, and – there you were, looking at one and the same moment into the sitting room and dining room, the kitchen and two bedrooms. That is the way for a house to open! Why don’t all houses open like that? How much more exciting than (5) ________ through a half-open door into a little hall! That is – isn’t it – what you want to know about a house when you come to the door!

The best thing in the house was the lamp that stood in the middle of the diningroom table. The lamp was perfect. The lamp was real.

The Hunter children could hardly walk to school (6) ________ enough the next morning. It had been (7) ________ that while the doll’s house stood in the courtyard they could ask the girls at school, two at a time, to come and look.

A. Elizabeth, England’s most popular ruler, had a difficult childhood, having been declared illegitimate after the fall of Anne Boleyn. Under Mary she was a prisoner, held briefly in the Tower, as a likely focus of Protestant plots. She proved to be a ruler of quality: courageous, shrewd and possessing a potent way with words, although she was politically indecisive. Her aim was stability and concord, but administration was neglected. Crown was losing money, corruption crept into government, and disagreements between Crown and parliament were becoming sharper and shaper.

B. Language has its own force and works to demands and impulses which cannot always prove the received idea that economic and military superiority alone produce linguistic dominance. Pressure groups and revolutionaries can play a part. African American English came from a minority, mostly poor, often oppressed, all of whom were descended from a different language pool than English, and yet their expressions colonized the English language and not only of youth.

C. Of all the sciences psychology was then the youngest and least scientific which most captivated the general public and had the most destructive effect upon religious faith. Psychology was king. Freud, Adler, Jung and Watson had their tens of thousands of fans; intelligence-testers invaded the schools; psychiatrists were installed in business houses to hire and fire employees and determine advertising policies; and one had only to read the newspapers to be told with complete assurance that psychology held the key to the problems of misbehavior, divorce, and crime.

D. It is hard to overemphasize how important bread was to the English diet through the nineteenth century. For many people bread wasn't just an important accompaniment to a meal, it was the meal. Even middle-class people spent as much as two-thirds of their income on food, of which a fairly high and sensitive proportion was bread. For a poorer family, the daily diet was likely to consist of a few ounces of tea and sugar, some vegetables, a slice or two of cheese and, just occasionally, a very little meat. All the rest was bread.

E. Successful paragraphing is essential to good writing. Do not use too many paragraphs. If paragraphs are very short, this may mean that the writer has either introduced ideas without developing them, or separated one idea over several paragraphs. If paragraphs are very long, there is likely to be more than one idea in the same paragraph. Poor paragraphing is considered poor style and will result in a lower grade. As a general rule, a paragraph should use a minimum of three sentences to develop an idea.

F. The links between smoking and major illnesses such as lung cancer and respiratory disease have been well-known for several decades. The laws governing the sale of cigarettes and the places where people are allowed to smoke have become stronger in response to people’s growing fears. It is believed that these more gradual changes in the law are preferable to a complete ban.
