Sir Isaac Newton is a world-famous English scientist, who devoted his life to mathematics, physics, astronomy [astronami] and other sciences. Newton discovered the law of gravity and many other laws. He developed some very important scientific theories which helped people to understand and explain a lot of things about the physical world. Isaac Newton was born in a small village in the east of England in 1642. At school he was interested in mathe-matics, which he studied later at Cambridge University. In 1655 Newton received his degree' and returned home where he did much of his most important work. Here, among other things, he studied optics. His experiments [ik'speriments] showed that white light was a nixture of all colours oe the van New on vy explained shet the te loung was made of those colours. Newton's studies of light led him to build the first reflecting? telescope ['telskeup]. Newton also first thought about the law of gravity. The legend says that he discovered this law when an apple fell on his head while he was sitting under a tree in his garden. That's why in many pictures Newton was often shown with an apple in his hand. найди в этом тексте past simple
