One day, a few years ago, a train was travelling through the English countryside.
This was in the days when trains had small compartments, and in one particular compartment there were four people.
There was a young girl, quite pretty, who looked like a student or someone who was starting her first job ; there was an old lady, dressed in black with bags and magazines and knitting ; there was an army officer in his mid - thirties, immaculately dressed in his uniform and very stiff and proper in his manner ; and finally there was a young cockney, casually dressed with a sparkle in his eye and ever ready to have joke.
It was quite obvious that both the men were attracted to the young girl, though the officer certainly wouldn’t show it and the cockney felt inhibited by the presence of the others.
Suddenly the train went into a tunnel ; the lights had not been put on, so for half a minute the carriage was in complete darkness, and in the darkness came the sound of a large kiss followed almost immediately by a loud slap.
What had taken place while the train was in the tunnel?
When the train finally emerged and it was light again in the carriage, there for all to see was the officer with a bleeding nose and swollen eye.
And the old lady, seeing this, thought to herself, “What a brave young lady, who dared to hit the officer for stealing a kiss in such a cowardly way!
” And the young girl, seeing the suffering of the officer, was puzzled.
“How strange”, she thought, “that the officer should kiss the old lady, not me!
” The poor officer, nursing two injuries that caused him more than a little pain and embarrassment, considered to himself “That cockney’s quite a clever chap!
He kissed the girl, and the girl hit me!
” And the cockney laughed silently to himself at the trick he had played.
“I am a clever chap, ” he thought to himself.
“I kissed the back of my hand, hit the officer in the face and nobody said a word!
”.

FROM THE HISTORY OF RAILWAYS IN GREAT BRITAIN
The history of railways in Great Britain began in the second part of the 18th century.
The first railways were horse - powered and were used for transporting coal, timber and ore.
Later on, horse - powered railways appeared in large cities and were used as passenger transport.
However, they did not last long.
In 1763, James Watt invented the stationary steam engine and George Stephenson was one of the first who put a steam engine on wheels.
He made a design of a locomotive but could not build it, as he had no money.
Some businessmen decided to construct a railway between Stockton and Darlington to see how Stephenson’s locomotive worked.
On the day when it was opened, a man on a horse went in front of the engine and shouted that the train was coming.
Stephenson, who was running his locomotive, asked the horseman to go away.
He put steam on and ran his locomotive at a speed of 12 miles per hour.
It was the beginning of steam - powered railways.
In 1829, the Liverpool - Manchester Railway was built, and the railway company offered a prize of £500 for the best steam train.
The prize was won by G.
Stephenson with his famous train the “Rocket”.
This locomotive was faster and stronger than the first one ; it could pull 13 tons and achieved an “unheard - of speed” of 29 miles (46 km) per hour.
At first, many people were afraid of the railways.
However, in 1842 the steam - powered railways were already in wide use in Britain.
It should be said * that the gauge was not the same on all the railways.
The famous English engineer Brunel considered that the * * broader the gauge, the easier would the trains run.
Following his advice the Great Western Company had constructed the railway network with a gauge of 7 feet.
That is why for many years there were two gauges in England : the 7 feet suggested by Brunel and 4 feet 8½ inches, offered by Stephenson.
It was inconvenient because where there was a break of gauges, delay was caused and time was wasted.
Angry people wrote to the newspapers and demanded to change the broad gauge.
At last in the House of Commons * * * the broad gauge was described as a “national evil”.
It was very difficult to alter the gauge as the engines, carriages, wagons were made for the broad gauge and more than 30 years “The Battle of the Gauges” lasted.
Only in 1892 the Great Western Railways was converted to the standard gauge.

Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher.
He was a brilliant scientist
HIS EARLY YEARS
Galileo was born in 1564 in Pisa, Italy.
He was the first of six children of Vincenzo Galilei and Giulia Ammannati.
His father was a famous musican.
Galileo's early education was in a monastery.
From there, in 1581, he went to the University of Pisa, where he was a student of medicine and mathematics.
Then from 1592 to 1610 he went to the University of Padua.
He wasn't a student as this university – he was a professor of mathematics and astronomy.
Galileo was the father of three children – two daughters and a son – but he wasn't married to their mother.
HIS SCIENTIFIC LIFE
Galileo made excellent telescopes.
With the he could see moons going round the planet Jupiter and the planet Venus going round the sun.
At the time, there was the belief that the earth was the centre of the universe and the sun went round the earth.
However , by 1610 Galileo's theory was that the earth was not the centre of our universe.
Galileo said that the sun was the centre, and the earth moved round it.
HIS LAST YEARS
Some religious organisations weren't happy with Galileo's theories.
His ideas were dangerous because they were different from the ideas in the Bible.
Finally, in 1634 there was a trial.
Galileo was 70 and not in good health so he wasn't sent to prison, but he couldn't leave his house in Florence.
It was here that he died is 1642.
He was 78 years old and completely blind.

Retell the text as if you were : - American Lady The train passed very quickly a long, red - stonehouse with a garden and four thick palm trees with tables under them in the shade.
On the other side was the sea, which was seen only occasionally and far below against the rocks.
"I bought him in Palermo, 2" the American lady said.
"We only had an hour and it was Sunday morning.
The man wanted to be paid in dollars and I gave him a dollar and a half.
He really sings very beautifully.
"
It was very hot in the train and it was very hot in the compartment.
No breeze came through the open window.
The American lady pulled the windowblind down and there was no more sea, even occasionally.
On the other side there was glass, then the corridor, then trees and flat fields of grapes, with greystone hills behind them.
Coming into Marseilles3 the train slowed down and followed one track through many others into the station.
The train stayedtwenty - fiveminutes in the station at Marseilles and the American lady bought a copy of the Daily Mail4.
She walked a little way along the station platform, but she stayed near the steps of the car because at Cannes, 5 where it stopped for twelve minutes, the train had left with no signal of departure and she had only gotten6 on just in time.
The American lady was a little deaf and she was afraid that perhaps signals of departure were given and that she did not hear them.
After it was dark the train was in Avignon.
7 People got on and off.
At thenews - standFrenchmen, returning to Paris, bought that day's French papers.
Inside the compartment the porter had pulled down the three beds from inside the wall and prepared them for sleeping.
In the night the American lady lay without sleeping because the train was a rapide8 and went very fast and she was afraid of the speed in the night.
The
American lady's bed was the one next to the window.
The canary from Palermo, a cloth spread over his cage, was cut of the draught in the corridor that went into the compartment washroom.
There was a blue light outside the compartment, and all night the train went fast and the American lady lay awake and waited for a wreck.
In the morning the train was near Paris, and after the American lady had come out of the washroom, looking very wholesome and middle - agedand American in spite of not having slept, and had taken the cloth off the bird cage
and hung the cage in the sun, she went to the restaurant car lor breakfast.
When she came back to the compartment again, the beds had been pushed back into the wall and made into seats, the canary was shaking his feathers in the sunlight that came through the open window, and the train was much nearer Paris.
"He loves the sun, " the American lady said.
"He'll sing now in a little while.
I've always loved birds.
I'm taking him home to my little girl.
There — he's singing now.
"
The train crossed a river and passed through a very beautifully tended forest.
The train passed through many outside of Paris towns.
There were tramcars in the towns and big advertisements en the walls toward the train.
For several minutes I had not listened to the American lady, who was talking to my wife.
"Is your husband American too?
" asked the lady.
"Yes, " said my wife.
"We're both Americans.
" "I thought you were English.
"
"Oh, no.
"
"I'm so glad you're Americans.
American men make the best husbands, " the American lady was saying.
"That was why we left the Continent, 9 you know.
My daughter fell in love with a man in Vevey.
10" She stopped.
"They were simply madly in love.
" She stopped again.
"I took her away, of course.
"
"Did she get over it?
" asked my wife.
"I don't think so, " said the American lady.
"She wouldn't eat anything and she doesn't seem to take an interest in anything.
She doesn't care about things.
I couldn't have her marrying a foreigner.
"" She paused.
"Someone, a very good friend, told me once, "No foreigner can make an American girl a good husband.
"
"No, " said my wife, "I suppose not.
"
The train was now coming into Paris.
There were many cars standing on tracks — brown wooden restaurant cars and brown wooden sleeping cars that would go to Italy at five o'clock that night ; the cars were marked Paris—Rome, and cars, with seats on the roofs, that went back and forth to the suburbs with, at certain hours, people in all the seats and on the roofs.
"Americans make the best husbands, " the American lady said to my wife.
I was getting down the bags.
"American men are the only men in the world to marry.
"
"How long ago did you leave Vevey?
" asked my wife.
"Two years ago this fall.
12 It's her, 'you know, that I'm taking the canary to.
" "Was the man your daughter was in love with a Swiss?
"13
"Yes, " said the American lady.
"He was from a very good family in Vevey.
He was going to be an engineer.
They met there in Vevey.
They used to go for long walks together.
".
