    • B) Read the passage & answers the questions Many great inventions are initially greeted with ridicule and disbelief. The invention of the airplane was no exception. Although many people who heard about the first powered flight on December 77, 1903 were excited and impressed, others reacted with pearls of laughter. The idea of flying an aircraft, was repulsive to some people, such people called Wilbur and Orville Wright, the inventors of the first flying machine, impulsive fools Negative reactions, however, did not stop the Wrights. Impelled by their desire to succeed, they continued their experiments in aviation. Orville and Wilbur Wright had always had a compelling interest in aeronautics and mechanics. As young boys they earned money by making and selling kites and mechanical toys. Later, they designed a newspaper folding machine, built a printing press, and operated a bicycle-repair shop In1896, when they read about the death of Otto Lilienthal, the brothers in flight grew into a compulsion. Lilienthal, a pioneer in hang-gliding, had controlled his gliders by shifting his body in the desired direction. This idea was repellent to the Wright brothers, however, and they searched for more efficient methods to control the balance of airborne vehicles. In 1900and 1901, the Wrights tested numerous gliders and developed control techniques. The brothers to obtain enough lift power for the gliders almost led them to abandon their efforts. After further study, the Wright brothers concluded that the published tables of air pressure on curved surfaces must be wrong They set up a wind tunnel and began a series of experiments with model wings. Because of their efforts, the old tables were repelled in time and replaced by the first reliable figures for air pressure on curved surfaces. This work, in turn, made it possible for the brothers to design a machine that would fly. In 1903 the Wrights built their first airplane which cost less than $1,000. They even designed and built their own source of propulsion--a light, weight gasoline engine. When they started the engine on December 17, the airplane pulsated wildly before taking off. The plane managed to stay aloft for 12 seconds, however, and it flew120 feet. By 1905, the Wrights had perfected the first airplane that could turn, circle, and remain airborne for half an hour at, time. Others had flown in balloons and hang gliders, but the Wright brothers were the first to build a full-size machine that could fly under its own power. As the contributors of one of the most outstanding engineering achievements in history the Wright brothers are accurately called the fathers of aviation
