I Part 1: Reading

Read the following text carefully and do the activities.

Archimedes was every bit a mad genius, and he was socially handicapped by the breadth of his intellect. When he came up with his principle of hydrostatics, he had been in the bath. Archimedes was so gripped by excitement at his breakthrough that he ran naked through the streets shouting "Eureka!" And his death came from a lack of comprehension that he was in danger. A Roman soldier sent to capture Archimedes entered his home. Archimedes, in the thick of determining a geometry proof using figures drawn in the sand on his floor, dismissed the stranger: "Do not disturb my diagrams," Archimedes told him. §1

The soldier flew into a rage and beat the 75-year-old genius to death. The soldier had been two years in coming; the Romans had held Archimedes' home of Syracuse under siege for two years. But Archimedes' war machines had kept the Romans at bay. His death ray is said to have proven particularly effective.§2

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, located in Sicily, in 287  BC.His father was an astronomer whose name was Phidias.He studied mathematics probably in Alexandria,Egypt.He made great achievements in mathematics ,physics and mechanics.

 He was able to discover the principle of hydrostatics linked to the properties of floating bodies. He also managed to use infinitesimals and develop the method of exhaustion that he practised on solid shapes like the sphere and cylinder.He succeeded in inventing war machines to defend his city Syracuse against the Romans  who besieged it for two years.He invented the famous Heat Ray to set fire to the Roman warships. He designed  a machine called Archimedes Claw that was used to shake the warships and make them sink.

The cause of his death was his dedication to science and research. As he was contemplating a mathematical diagram, the Romans captured Syracuse. A Roman soldier came to him and ordered him to follow him to meet  General Marcellus, but Archimedes refused saying:”Do not disturb my circles.”The soldier got mad and killed Archimedes with his sword.General Marcellus was disappointed by the fatal gesture of his soldier because the life of Archimedeswas very precious to the Romans.
