Read the story of Archimedes and his bath. Then complete the text with the correct form of the verb in brackets. Archimedes, the Greek mathematician, is probably most famous for the story of King Hieron II of Syracuse and the gold crown. The king a (want) wanted to give a gold crown as a gift to the gods, and b (give) a carefully weighed amount of gold to a goldsmith. The man c даю i(produce) a beautiful crown, but the king was worried that the craftsman d (not use all the gold to make the crown. Dishonest craftsmen often e (mix) gold with silver, which was cheaper, but the king could not find a way of proving that the man f(do) this. He g (ask) Archimedes to solve the problem. Archimedes h (know) that gold and silver have different densities. The problem was that nobody could calculate the mass of an object like a crown. While Archimedes i (think) about this problem, he decided to go to the public baths to relax. While hej (climb) into the bath, he k (notice) some water on the floor. It! (spill). over the side of the bath, and he m (realize) that he n (solve) -the problem by accident. The total amount of water that o (spill) out of the bath must be the same as the volume of his body. He could use a piece of pure gold and calculate its volume, and then test the crown and see if it was the same. According to the story, he p (jump) straight out of the bath and q (run) down the street calling 'Eureka - I've found it.' The goldsmith soon r (admit). that he s (cheat) the king, and was punished. Archimedest (discover) a principle of buoyancy. see
I spend my summer holidays at my granny’s. There are many things there to do. What I did most of the time - I swam in the sea and sunbathed. Sometimes I made a fire with my friends at the seaside and cooked potatoes there. It was wonderful. We told anecdotes to each other, and did everything we wanted. I also got used to walk alone in the forest.
When August was coming to its end, I went on a small voyage by ship. The ship name was “Sevastopol”.
But this summer wasn’t for me only sugar and honey. I have passed through the graduating exams after school and entering exams in the university. So the bigger part of my summer vacations I spent sitting with the books. Of course, it was not interesting, but I’m glad that I did it because now I’m a student of the best university in our country.
