The word horsepower(马力) was first used two hundred years ago. James Watt had made the world's first widely used steam engine. He had no way of telling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units(单位) for measuring power.Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do. He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300?pound weight 10 feet into the air one minute. His engine could lift a 3300?pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a tenhorsepower engine.

　　James Watt was an English boy. He was clever and bright. He liked to ask questions and was always thinking-hard. One day he was sitting in the kitchen with his old grandmother. There he saw a kettle on the fire. Soon steam began to come out of the kettle. It was rising, rising and rising. And the lid（盖子）was moving. “Grandma, what's in the kettle?” little Watt asked.” Water, my child, nothing but water.” “ I know there is something else. Look, it is pushing the lid up.”“ Oh that's only steam.” “How does the steam get under the lid? The steam must be very strong.” the boy said to himself.” It can push things, if there is more water, the steam will be much stronger.” Many years later, James Watt tried to make steam work for people. Finally he gave the world the first steam engine. His name lives forever.

Good morning, boys and girls．My name is Frank Johnson．Now let me tell you something about our museum．To you maybe it's just four white walls and a ceiling（天花板），but to us it's a treasure．Here you'll see some of the best British physicists（物理学家）．For example，you'll see Newton，who was born in 1642．He went to study at college in 1661．During the years 1665—1666，he made his most important discoveries．It is said that Newton got Iris idea when an apple fell on his head! Another British physicist William Thomson went to study at college when he was just ten years old．He became a professor（教授）at the age of 22．He found clear relationships among heat，work and energy．And of course，James Watt，the famous engineer! At the age of 20．he began to make useful things at college．He improved the steam engine（蒸汽机）and made it more powerful．

OK，boys and girls．You may go and see it now．Have fun!
