Gather it to your class leader. Save it in the rar format and send to my email no later than
Saturday (30 November, 2019) at 8 AM.

Part One: Listening

Answer the following questions based on what you hear in the audio
1. Why does pitch drop experiment hold the Guinness World Record?
because it is the longest running experiment

2. What did Professor Thomas Parnell want to show in this experiment?

Everyday ingredients can have surprising properties

3. What did Professor Thomas Parnell do in this experiment?

He heated some pitch and poured it into a glass funnel, then left it to cool for three
years. In October 1930 the bottom of the funnel was cut and the pitch began to flow.

4. What kind of substance is the pitch?

In fact, pitch is not solid but it is liquid

5. When was the first time a drop of pitch fell?

In 1938. Because its took eight years to fall

6. When is the next pitch drop expected to fall in?

In 2020s

7. How many times did Professor John Mainstone see the pitch drop?
Only six times from nine drops

8. Why could not the pitch drop in the 2000 be filmed?

Because webcam that was recording the experiment suffered a power outage

Part Two: Reading

Fill in the blank, the word that you think appropriate. Use the words in the box below as your
consideration

Electrons prevent Replaces neutrally insulators

Electron prevents Positively neutral Surrounds
shock aluminum Positive shoes conductor
Van de Graaf shoes Electrical repel conductors
Proton allow Electricity attract protectors
Neutron Speeds up Electric shock Rube Goldberg

Atoms, the basic building blocks of matter, are made of three basic components: protons,
neutrons and electrons. The protons and neutrons cluster together to form the nucleus, the central
part of the atom, and the (1) electrons orbit about the nucleus. Protons and electrons both carry
an (2) electrical charge. The charges they carry are opposite to each other; protons carry a (3)
positive electrical charge while electrons carry a negative electrical charge. Neutrons are (4)
neutrally charged - they carry no charge at all.
Electricity is the movement of charged particles, usually electrons, from one place to
another. Materials that electricity can move through easily are called conductors. Most metals,
such as iron, copper and (5)aluminum, are good (6) conductors of electricity. Other materials,
such as rubber, wood and glass, block the flow of electricity. Materials which (7) prevent the
flow of electricity are called insulators. Electrical cords are usually made with both conductors

and (8) insulators. Electricity flows through a (9) conductor in the center of the cord. A layer of
insulation (10) surrounds the conductor and (11) prevent the electricity from 'leaking' out.
Objects usually have equal numbers of positive and negative charges, but it isn't too hard
to temporarily create an imbalance. One way scientists can create an imbalance is with a machine
called a (12) Van de Graaf generator. It creates a large static charge by placing electrons on a
metal dome using a motor and a big rubber band. Since like charges (13) repel, the electrons
push away from each other as they collect on the dome. Eventually, too many electrons are
placed on the dome and they leap off, creating a spark that looks like a bolt of lightning.
Have you ever received a (14) shock after having walked across a carpet? This shock
was caused by extra electrons you collected while walking across the carpet. Your body became
like the dome of the Van de Graaff generator, full of extra electrons looking for a way to get
away. The path back to the carpet was blocked by the (15) shoes you were wearing, but they
were able to move through your hand and into the object that you touched, causing the shock. So,
the next time you shuffle across a carpet and shock your friend on the ear, tell them you were just
trying to be a Van de Graaff generator!

Now, state the main idea of each paragraph

Main idea paragraph 1: Atoms, the basic building blocks of matter, are made of three basic
components: protons, neutrons and electrons.
Main idea paragraph 2: Electricity is the movement of charged particles, usually electrons, from
one place to another.
Main idea paragraph 3: One way scientists can create an imbalance is with a machine called a
Van de Graaf generator.
Main idea paragraph 4: The shock after having walked across a carpet was caused by extra
electrons that you collected while walking across the carpet.

Part Three: Vocabulary

make a sentence using the synonym.

basic Synonym Fundamental, essential, rudimental

Sentence Problem solving is one of fundamental skills in learning
physics
