SCIENCE FLYING IN THE FACE OF GRAVITY

It looked just like another aircraft from the outside The pilot told his young passengers that it was built in 1964, a Boeing

KC-135 refuelling tanker, based on the 707 But appearances were deceptive, and the 13 students from Europe and the USA

who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives

Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel Heavily padded from floor to ceiling, it looked abit like a lunatic asylum There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls eerily illuminated it Most of theseats had been taken out, apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists quickly took their places with a look ofapprehension

For 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at the invitation ofthe European Space Agency The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be conducted in weighflessconditions

For the next two hours the Boeing's flight resembled that of an enormous bird which had lost its reason, shooting upwardsThe aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on anything like ascheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane in to a 45-degree climb which lasted around

20 seconds Then the engines cut out and we became weightless Everything became confused, and left or right, up or down

no longer had any meaning After ten seconds of free-fall descent the pilot pulled the aircraft out of its nosedive The return

of gravity was less immediate than its loss, but was still sudden enough to ensure that some students came down with abump Each time the pilot cut the engines and we became weightless, a new team conducted its experiment First it was theDutch, who wanted to discover why cats always land on their feet Then it was the German team, who conducted asuccessful experiment on a traditional building method to see if it could be used for building a future space station TheAmericans had an idea to create solar sails that could be used by satellites

After two hours of going up and down in the plane doing experiments, the predominant feeling was one of exhilaration rather than nausea Most of the students thought it was an unforgettable experience and one they would be keen to repeat.

THE SIMSONS, AMERICAN'S FIRST FAMILY

The Simpsons began life in 1987 as a 30-second cartoon which was broadcast as part of another TV show But the audience

loved it, and it soon became a world-famous TV series, making superstars of Bart, Homer, Marge, Lisa and Maggie Simpson

in over 70 countries The Simpsons - even though they have very little money, intelligence or even ability - were at one time called 'the USA's First Family'.

It is remarkable that one of the greatest comedies of all time should feature a bright yellow cast with outrageous hairstyles

and only six fingers each, but The Simpsons is one of TV's finest achievements If you are one of those people who thought that The Simpsons was just a cartoon for children, then you are making a big mistake - as any adult Simpsons fan will tell you The Simpsons remains one of the funniest, cleverest and most subversive programmes on television It is astonishingly

inventive, brilliantly written and at times deeply sincere The fact that it managed to achieve all of this on the normally

conservative Fox Network is another example of its genius.

An average Simpsons episode has more jokes than most sitcoms manage in a whole series And the jokes appeal to people

from a broad range of ages and cultures, meaning that everyone can find something to laugh about There is so much going

on that it's often hard to get everything on first viewing But although the show's creators managed to make the show sofunny, they always focus on characterisation too

THE MILENNIUM SEED BANK

Trang 4

Every living creature depends on plants to survive Plants are the basis of the ecosystems in which animals live and grow.Plants provide human beings with food, materials and medicines Environmentally, plants are essential for renewing oxygenlevels and protecting us from floods and drought.

Plants also play an important (41) in culture and art The world's plant life, however, is under (42) Every plantrequires certain conditions in order to grow Climate change and human exploitation are rapidly reducing the areas of theworld where such conditions are present Many (43) and useful wild plants are struggling to survive because tougherforeign species have been brought into their habitats In fact, experts predict that up to half of the world's plant species could

be extinct by 2080

It was in (44) to this that the Kew Gardens' Millennium Seed Bank was set up in 2000 in Sussex, England The project

aims to gather and maintain samples of seeds from wild plants all around the world to insure against their extinction.Collected seeds are stored at sub-zero temperatures The collection is kept alive by periodically germinating the seeds toproduce new samples The (45) number of seeds collected reached one billion in 2007 including many from plants nowextinct in the wild

As global threats increase, the project directors hope, together with their international partners, to have banked seeds from25% of the world's plant species by 2020 Yet, the directors are the first to (46) that simply collecting seeds is not enough.Even if a plant becomes extinct in the wild, the reasons behind this loss would have to be known and dealt with before the

project could successfully reintroduce the plant into the wild So the Seed Bank is a great resource, but it cannot

single-handedly save the world's plant life The only long-term solution is for all of us to turn over a new leaf and start activelyprotecting the environment!
