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 refueling tanker, based on the 707. But appearances were deceptive, and 13 students from
Europe and the USA who boarded the aircraft were in for the flight of their lives
Nhìn từ bên ngoài, nó trông giống hệt một chiếc máy bay khác. Phi công nói với những hành khách trẻ tuổi rằng
nó được chế tạo vào năm 1964, một máy bay tiếp nhiên liệu Boeing KC-135, dựa trên 707. Nhưng vẻ bề ngoài đã
đánh lừa, và 13 sinh viên từ Châu Âu và Hoa Kỳ đã lên máy bay và có chuyến bay tuyệt vời nhất trong đời
Inside, the area that normally had seats had become a long white tunnel. Heavily padded from floor to
ceiling; it looked a bit like a lunatic asylum. There were almost no windows, but lights along the padded walls
eerily illuminated it. Most of the seats had been taken out apart from a few at the back, where the young scientists
quickly took their places with a look of apprehension.
Bên trong, khu vực thường có ghế ngồi đã trở thành một đường hầm dài màu trắng. Được lót đệm dày từ sàn đến
trần; trông giống như một nhà thương điên. Hầu như không có cửa sổ, nhưng đèn dọc theo các bức tường được lót
đệm chiếu sáng một cách kỳ lạ. Hầu hết các ghế ngồi đã được dọn ra ngoài trừ một vài ghế ở phía sau, nơi các nhà
khoa học trẻ nhanh chóng ngồi vào chỗ của mình với vẻ mặt lo lắng.
From 12 months, science students from across the continents had competed to win a place on the flight at
the invitation of the European Space Agency. The challenge had been to suggest imaginative experiments to be
conducted in weightless conditions. For the next two hours the Boeing's flight resembled that of an enormous bird
which had lost its reason, shooting upwards towards the heavens before hurting towards Earth. The intention was
to achieve weightlessness for a few seconds.
Từ 12 tháng, các sinh viên khoa học từ khắp các châu lục đã cạnh tranh để giành được một suất trên chuyến bay
theo lời mời của Cơ quan Vũ trụ Châu Âu. Thách thức là đề xuất các thí nghiệm sáng tạo được tiến hành trong
điều kiện không trọng lượng. Trong hai giờ tiếp theo, chuyến bay của Boeing giống như một con chim khổng lồ đã
mất lý trí, lao lên trời trước khi lao xuống Trái đất. Mục đích là đạt được trạng thái không trọng lượng trong vài
giây.
The aircraft took off smoothly enough, but any feelings that I and the young scientists had that we were on
anything like a scheduled passenger service were quickly dismissed when the pilot put the plane into a 45-degree
climb which lasted around 20 seconds. Then the engine cut out and we became weightless. Everything became
confused, and left or right, up or down no longer had any meaning. After 10 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 a bump.
Máy bay cất cánh khá êm, nhưng bất kỳ cảm giác nào mà tôi và các nhà khoa học trẻ có rằng chúng tôi đang ở trên
một dịch vụ hành khách theo lịch trình đều nhanh chóng bị bác bỏ khi phi công đưa máy bay lên cao 45 độ trong
khoảng 20 giây. Sau đó, động cơ tắt và chúng tôi trở nên mất trọng lượng. Mọi thứ trở nên hỗn loạn, và trái hay
phải, lên hay xuống không còn ý nghĩa gì nữa. Sau 10 giây hạ cánh tự do, phi công đã kéo máy bay ra khỏi tình
trạng lao đầu xuống. Sự trở lại của trọng lực không ngay lập tức như sự mất trọng lực, nhưng vẫn đủ đột ngột để
đảm bảo rằng một số học sinh đã hạ cánh với một cú xóc.
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.
Sau hai giờ lên xuống trên máy bay để làm thí nghiệm, cảm giác chủ đạo là phấn khích hơn là buồn nôn. Hầu hết
học sinh đều nghĩ rằng đó là một trải nghiệm khó quên và họ muốn lặp lại.

Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The word “robot” first appeared in a 1921 stage play by Czech writer Karel Capek. In the play, a man
makes a machine that can think, which he calls a robot and which ends up killing its owner. In the 1940s, the
American science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov, wrote a series of stories about robots and invented the term
'robotics', the science of robots. Meanwhile, in the real world, the first robots were developed by an engineer,
Joseph F. Engelberger, and an inventor, George C. Devol. Together they started Unimation, a manufacturing
company that produced the first real robot in 1961, called the Unimate. Robots of this type were installed at a
General Motors automobile plant and proved to be a success. They worked reliably and saved money for
General Motors, so other companies were soon acquiring robots as well.
These industrial robots were nothing like the terrifying creatures that can often be seen in science fiction
films. In fact, these robots looked and behaved nothing like humans. They were simply pieces of computer-
controlled machines, with metal "arms" or "hands". Since they were made of metal, they could perform certain
jobs that were difficult or dangerous for humans, particularly jobs that involve high heat. And since robots were
tireless and never got hungry, sleepy, or distracted, they were useful for tasks that would be tiring or boring for
humans. Industrial robots have been improved over the years, and today they are used in many factories around
the world. Though the use of robots has meant the loss of some jobs, at the same time other jobs have been created
in the design, development, and production of the robots.
Outside of industry, robots have also been developed and put into use by governments and scientists in
situations where humans might be in danger. For example, they can be sent in to investigate an unexploded bomb
or an accident at a nuclear power plant. Researchers also use robots to collect samples of hot rocks or gases in
active volcanoes. In space exploration, robots have performed many key tasks where humans could not be present,
such as on the surface of Mars. In 2004, two robotic Rovers, small six-wheeled computerized cars, were sent to
Mars.
