Charles Babbage (1791-1871), was a mathematician and
an inventor. He is mostly famous because he invented
a ‘counting machine’ – in other words, a very early
computer. Although he drew detailed designs of his
machine, Babbage did not actually build one. About
a hundred and fifty years later, a group of scientists
and mathematicians decided to use his plans to build
a working model. After seventeen years, they finally
completed it in 2002, and the machine is now on display
in the Science Museum in London. The ‘Babbage Engine’
has 8,000 parts, weighs 5 tons and is more than three
metres long and about two metres high. It works perfectly.
3 The text tells us about
A the history of computers.
B how Babbage built one of the first computers.
C one of the first designs of a computer.
4 The machine in the Science Museum is
A between 10 and 20 years old.
B Babbage’s own machine.
C 150 years old.

The first thing you notice about the Stella Mark 6 is its size.
It’s very big – much bigger than most other smartphones.
Because of this, it’s quite hard to use with only one hand
– and that is a big disadvantage. On the other hand, the
screen is wonderful. There’s room to do real work on it,
and the display is excellent. Think of it more as a very
very small tablet! The camera isn’t anything special but
it’s perfectly fine for most people. One of the best things
about this phone is the competitive price. If you don’t
mind carrying a big phone, it’s one to consider.

THE ROCKET
1
George Stephenson was born in Northumberland,
England, in 1781 and his son Robert was born in 1803.
They were both engineers with a particular interest in
railways and trains. George invented railway tracks (the
first one was eight miles long!), and he and Robert went
on to design one of the most famous trains ever – the
‘Rocket’.
2
In 1829, George Stephenson built a new railway track in
the north of England, between Liverpool and Manchester.
When the line was finished, there was a competition to
find the best train. The prize was £500 – a fortune in
those days. Three trains took part in the competition, and
one of them was the ‘Rocket’.
3
It was an exciting event, and crowds of people came to
watch. The three trains went backwards and forwards
while the people cheered them on. The ‘Rocket’ was
faster than the other two. Not only that, the other two
kept breaking down, but the ‘Rocket’ kept going! It was
the clear winner and its makers were suddenly heroes.
4
A year later, the railway between Manchester and
Liverpool opened. Once again, crowds of people came
to watch. Unfortunately this time there was a tragedy.
William Huskisson, a government minister, was standing
on the railway line when the ‘Rocket’ hit him. He died
later in hospital.
