The vanishing invention

5, Kiểm tra chính tả (s, ed, es)
In (1) __1998______, a Valencian professor made an amazing claim . Professor An tonio Cervilla
discovered how to use water as a substitute for petrol.
The scientist said that you could drive from Bilbao to Valencia on just half a litre of water. His
invention uses a molybdenum (2) compound________ to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Unlike other methods, no electricity is required and the reaction happens at atmospheric temperature.
This impressive technology is based on the way plant enzymes break down water. The molybdenum is
the perfect choice because, although rate, it is (3) __cheap_____ and found all around the planet.
Since the claims were made, nothing more has been heard about this fabulous technology. There is no
explanation for the disappearance anywhere on the internet, apart from a list of similar inventions which
have also vanished. An inventor from the Philippines called Daniel Dingel developed a water-fuelled
car but was arrested at the age of (4) ___82_____ and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
If this technology were to become widely (5) __available______ , it would prove disastrous for
petrol station owners and would also save the planet from the impending environmental
catastrophes being caused by pollution.

Phát minh biến mất

Năm 1998, một giáo sư người Valencia đã đưa ra một tuyên bố đáng kinh ngạc. Giáo sư Antonio
Cervilla đã khám phá ra cách sử dụng nước để thay thế xăng dầu.
Nhà khoa học nói rằng bạn có thể lái xe từ Bilbao đến Valencia chỉ với nửa lít nước. Phát minh của
ông sử dụng hợp chất molypden để phân hủy nước thành hydro và oxy. Không giống như các
phương pháp khác, không cần sử dụng điện và phản ứng xảy ra ở nhiệt độ khí quyển.
Công nghệ ấn tượng này dựa trên cách các enzyme thực vật phân hủy nước. Molypden là sự lựa
chọn hoàn hảo bởi vì, mặc dù hiếm nhưng nó rẻ và được tìm thấy trên khắp hành tinh.
Kể từ khi các tuyên bố được đưa ra, không có thông tin gì thêm về công nghệ tuyệt vời này. Không
có lời giải thích nào cho sự biến mất ở bất cứ đâu trên internet, ngoài danh sách các phát minh
tương tự cũng đã biến mất. Một nhà phát minh đến từ Philippines tên là Daniel Dingel đã phát triển
một chiếc ô tô chạy bằng nước nhưng đã bị bắt ở tuổi 82 và bị kết án 20 năm tù.
Nếu công nghệ này trở nên phổ biến rộng rãi, nó sẽ là thảm họa đối với các chủ trạm xăng và cũng
sẽ cứu hành tinh khỏi những thảm họa môi trường sắp xảy ra do ô nhiễm gây ra.

Thomas Alva Edison was probably the greatest inventor who ever lived, though at school he never
did really well. In fact, he went to the bottom of his class and stayed at the bottom for three months.
Shortly after, at the age of 12, he left school and never went back! His first job was selling newspapers on
trains, and later, at the age of 16, he got a job working in a telegraph office. Not all of Edison's inventions
were successful. In fact, his first one was a failure. Many that followed, however, were spectacular
successes and Edison became famous. Most people regard him as a genius.
Edison worked hard all his life, often working all night in his laboratory, and would not come home
for days at a time. When asked what makes a genius he said, "Genius is 99% perspiration and 1 %
inspiration." Edison married his first wife, Mary Stilwell, when he was 24. She was only 16 at the time.
The story goes that he tapped out his proposal to her in Morse code on a gas-pipe: "Will you marry me?"
"I will" came the reply, also in Morse code.
Mary died when Edison was 37 years old and two years later he married his second wife, Mina
Miller. Although most of the inventions which made Edison famous were made in the first half of his life,
Edison continued to work and invent till he was over 70, often working 16 hours a day! During his long
and productive life Edison made 1,300 inventions. Edison died on October 18,1931, at the age of 84.
America and the world mourned his passing.

Who invented the First Telephone?

Did you know that there are more telephones in the world than there are people? Cell phones alone add
up to more than 6 billion (there are over 7 billion people in the world)! It's hard to imagine a world
without the telephone, and the person we have to thank for the telephone is Alexander Graham Bell, who
invented it in 1876.
Alexander was born on March 3, 1847 in Edinburgh, Scotland. As a young boy, he was very talented in
music, poetry and art, and when he was only 12 years old, he began inventing things. Also, when he was
12, his mother began to lose her hearing and was later to become completely deaf. This greatly affected
Alexander, who became very interested in the scientific study of sound and the human voice.
In 1870, at the age of 23, Alexander moved to Canada with his parents where they bought a farm in the
province of Ontario. It was there that he built a small workshop to continue his experiments in sound. In
1871, Alexander moved to Boston, in the United States, to teach deaf students, people who could not hear,
how to communicate. One of his students was Helen Keller who was unable to see, hear or speak. Starting
from 1873, he began to teach less and focus his energy on experiments with sound. On March 10,1876,
while working on his invention, Mr. Bell spoke the first words ever into a telephone: "Mr. Watson, come
here, I want to see you," when he had a small accident in his laboratory. The first telephone, a machine
that was able to carry the human voice over long distances, had been invented. By 1886, over 150,000
people in the United States owned one, and our world would never be the same again. Alexander Graham
Bell died in Canada in 1922.

Science is a very important indicator of the future. Every scientific advance or discovery gives us a clue about
what the future will hold for society. Perhaps the most amazing scientific discovery in recent times was the birth of
Dolly the sheep. Dolly was the first successful cloned animal - that is, she was the first animal ever to be created from
a single adult cell. She is an exact copy of her biological mother. Since Dolly's birth, there has been debate about what
this means for society in the future - because if we can clone sheep, we can surely clone humans. Some think that
there are already signs that such things will eventually happen. For example, couples in the United States who can't or
don't want to have children by natural methods can now select the human egg and sperm they want through
catalogues, audiotapes or even computer order systems. One journalist has commented, "Ordering a frozen embryo is
