Ex 20 Replace the
Russian words and phrases with suitable English equivalents in the
correct form. Retell the passage.

Michael
Faraday was born in London in 1791 to a poor family, and as a boy he
did not learn much.

In
1804, when he was thirteen, he got a job in a book-seller’s shop. He
lived among books, and he
(начал)
to read some of them. The boy could not read every book in the shop
because he was busy and did not have much time. So he began
(выбирать)
the books which he liked best. He soon
(обнаружил)
that his main interest was in
(науке),
and especially in electricity.
(Как
всякий
истинный
ученый)
Faraday wanted to make experiments, but he did not have enough money
to do so.

Faraday
heard of talks on science which were being given by one of the
greatest
(ученых)
of the time, Sir Humphry Davy. As he sat and listened to the great
man he
(делал
записи).
Faraday wanted to give his life to
(науке),
so he wrote a letter to Sir Humphry Davy and asked for his help.

Sir
Humphry
(пригласил)
Faraday to come to see him, and gave him some
(научную
работу)
to do. Faraday
(был
в
восторге).
His work at
first was only to wash and
(готовить)
all the things which Davy and his fellow-scientists were to use in
their experiments, but he
(проводил
много
времени
с
учеными)
and could listen to what they said, and he (мог
наблюдать
их
за
работой).

Sir
Humphry sometimes
(путешествовал)
in Europe, where he went to meet the great
(ученые)
of other countries, and one day he
(решил)
to make another
of these trips. He asked Faraday if he
(хотел
бы),
to come with him.

Faraday,
of course, was thrilled and
(с
радостью
принял
приглашение).
He had never been more than a few miles from London in his life.

Faraday
(получил
большое
удовольствие
от)
his time in Europe, but he was not really sorry at the end of the
journey because he was now able to
(продолжить
свою
собственную
работу)
and experiments in England.

He
was wondering whether a magnet could
(кaким-то образом)
be made to give an electric current. Faraday
(был
совершенно
уверен)
that a current
could be made, but he had very little time for experiments. His
outside
work
(занимала
все
его
время).
Не
could stop his outside work, of course, but if he did so, he would
lose most of the £ 1,200 a year which he
(получал).
Не
had to
(выбирать)
between
(наукой)
and money, and he
(выбрал
науку).

At
first he was quite unable to make an electric current with his
magnets. But
one
day
(ему в голову пришла великолепная мысль).
Не (провел) the
magnet
near
the
wire.
And then he got
what he wanted: an electric current in the wire. Of course, he still
had to
(разработать
идею).

After
(нескольких)
experiments
(этого
рода)
he made a machine. It was the beginning of all the great machines
that make electricity today. All
(современные)
turbines are made on the principles that
(были
разработаны)
by Faraday. His
(открытие)
was the beginning of the electrical age, which
(изменил)
the face of the earth.
