Final Exam Second Semester-English 5th
ACCIDENTAL INVENTIONS! What do the microwave, coffee and the tape on your trainers have in common? Well, they were all accidental inventions! The microwave: In 1945, an American scientist called Percy Spencer was working in a lab. He was making a new kind of machine called a magnetotron. While he was working, he had some chocolate in his pocket. Suddenly, Percy found that the chocolate was melting! He realised that the machine could be used for heating food. The first food that he cooked in the microwave was popcorn! Coffee: A long time ago in Ethiopia, there was a farmer who had goats. One day he saw something: after eating the fruit from coffee plants, his goats didn’t sleep. He told other people, and they made a drink from the fruit. This drink became coffee. Today, people all over the world enjoy coffee! Velcro®: In 1941, a Swiss engineer called George de Mestral went for a walk in the woods. When he came back, he found he had a lot of seeds on himself. He looked at the seeds under the microscope and he noticed they had very small hooks that stuck to the tiny loops of his clothes. He decided to make a material that could do that same thing, and he invented the useful hook-and-loop tape on your trainers that is now called Velcro!
