Upon hearing that he could enter the Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich, he passed the entrance examination and began studies there. In 1869, he graduated with a PhD. Then he held positions as professor in several universities. In 1888, he obtained the physics chair at the University of Wurzburg.
In an experiment in 1895, he occasionally found a strange unknown light. It turned out that there was a piece of cardboard, mysterious light is from it. "But why does this cardboard produce light" He asked himself and was determined to test it.
For days on end, he shut himself away in his laboratory, where nothing seemed to make sense to him outside, intent on this nameless ray. After seven weeks of secret experiments, Wilhelm Rontgen found that the effect is caused by an invisible ray that can pass through paper and 2-3 cm thick wood and thin aluminium sheets. If you put your hand between the tube and the screen, you can see the bones in your hand. On December 28, 1895, he announced his new discovery, calling the unknown ray X-ray.
Rontgen was married to Anna Bertha Ludwig, who was six years older than him, for 47 years until her death in 1919. In 1866 they met in Zurich. But his father didn't approve due to her age. Their marriage began with financial difficulties as family support from Rontgen had ceased.

Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings.
In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison in the container. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it.
Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts(腹部按压)to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times on the victim's abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person.
The Mayo Clinic's health centers suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet(止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush(压坏)blood passages and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the Infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical Help arrives.
To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area.

Luggage-free travel, boarding queues and self-flying planes will be common for travelers in 20 years' time. You'll even be able to go on a holiday without leaving your sofa. The bold predictions have been made by futurologist and author Ray Hammond, who is based in the UK.
According to Hammond's predictions published in the Future Travel Report by Allianz Insurance, it's likely that tourists will be flying to and from the moon regularly by 2040. What's more, passports could disappear, as airports move more and more into the land of facial pattern recognition systems at check-in gates. Computer systems that can scan your face and check you into your flight will be standard in 20 years, the report notes.
When you board your flight after checking in with your smiling dial, don't expect to be greeted by the pilot. Hammond bets that planes will be flying themselves in 2040. No pilots and no supervision. It'll play well for the special routes of plane travel-extra-long flights, which have raised concerns about the aircraft staffs tiredness. Are you nervous at the thought of a plane under its own control? You'll be calmer by the time you step aboard Hammond says. Well already be used to self-driving cars.
When you arrive at your destination and check into your hotel, there won't be a porter carrying your heavy suitcase to your room. By 2040, we'll have the ability to send our clothing measurements to our hotel ahead of our arrival, where they'll have a 3D printer ready to print out our clothing. And when we check out, our clothes will be shipping off for recycling.
Virtual reality will be so advanced within 20 years that it'll allow us to experience other countries and destinations without stepping foot outside our door. The report says, "Multi-sensory virtual reality technology will allow armchair travel planners to 'step into' virtual hotel rooms, explore museums or walk into restaurants." However, it won't kill the real-life tourism industry-instead, it's expected to give it an even bigger improvement.
32. What did Ray Hammond say about traveling by self-flying plane?

33. What is possible by 2040 according to flay Hammond?
A. Traveling with anyone as you please.　　　　 B. Having no need to book trips.
C. Enjoying virtual reality only in museums.　　　D. Flying to the moon and back regularly.
34. How will the advanced 3D technology affect tourism?
A. Make clothes easily available to tourists.　　　B. Make recycling more common in tourism.
C. Make it easier for tourists to book tickets.　　 D. Make it possible to travel without passports.
35. What is the best title for the text?
