Genre of the passage
Task 1. Read the interview and answer:
1. Who is the interviewee
2. What information does the interviewer want to get from the interviewee
Reading for main idea
Interviewer: Good evening, and welcome to Between the Pages. This evening, I’ll be talking to Dr Richard
Fairhurst, whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published. Welcome, Richard!
Reading for main idea
Interviewer: Impressive stuff! I’ve also been told that you’re an inventor yourself. Is that correct
Richard: Yes, I am, but I’m only one member of a big team — most inventors now work as part of big international teams.
Reading for main idea
Many people might think that the great age of invention is over.
So are most of the new great inventions tech-based
Can you give us some examples
So what is it that inspires us to invent things
Will anybody ever invent a time machine
Reading for main idea
interview
Reading for main idea
interviewee：
Dr Richard Fairhurst, whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published
an inventor as a member of a big team
main idea：
inventions through history and inspiration for invention
Task 2. Read the interview and find out:
1. What inventions are mentioned in the interview
2. What inspires people to invent things according to Richard
Reading for detailed information
Richard: Well, that’s an interesting point. There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. These things changed the world forever. Then there were the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and the radio. And now, we find ourselves in the great new age of technology.
Reading to find the inventions
Richard: A lot, yes. For example, advances in virtual reality and wearable tech, as well as the flexible battery, mean we should soon be seeing further developments. In addition, important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to increasing computer power.
Reading to find the inventions
Richard: Sure. New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts. In terms of the environment, it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house. It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places, with computing technology controlling its “legs”. What’s more, huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly, too.
Reading to find the inventions
Richard: I think you’ve been watching too many movies! Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long way from an invention like that at the moment! But, as they say, “Never say never!”
Reading to find the inventions
Ancient China the four great inventions: gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass
the West the steam engine, the telephone, the radio
virtual reality, wearable tech, flexible battery, 3D printers, GPS technology, computing technology, solar technology
Inventions of the past
Inventions of today
1. What inventions are mentioned
Richard: Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution. This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times, which much later developed into the car.
Reading to find the inspiration
Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles. But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create, and that’s the real spirit of invention.
Reading to find the inspiration
Inspiration for inventions recoginising a problem that needs a solution;
an incredible desire to think and create
2. What inspires people to invent things
Task 4: Choose the sentences that describe Dr Fairhurst's opinions.
1 Inventions in Ancient China were better than those in the West.
2 A lot of today’s great inventions are tech-based.
3 Today, most inventors prefer working by themselves.
4 The desire to solve problems inspires invention.
5 A time machine will definitely be invented in the future.
Post-reading
Listen to the tape and review what the interview is talking about.
