27. Modern wheelchairs are a big improvement on the first wheelchairs, which
were just wheelbarros like the ones we use in the garden. Professor Stephen
Hawkings´s wheelchair, for example, is a vehicle, an office, and a domestic
servant, all in one.
The first real wheelchair was owned by King Phillip of Spain in the sixteenth
century. It had the latest technology- removable arm rests and leg rests- and
was made of wood. Modern wheelchairs are made from the same strong, light
metal as aircraft, and electric engines mean that users don´t need to use
their arms have soomeone to push.
Wheelchair design made a big jump forward with the invention of a computer
program that responds to voice commands. For users who cannot speak,
computer technology also makes it possible to manoeuvre a machine by smal
movements of the head, hand, tongue, and breath.

55. UNIT 5 PAIN
A continuous or prolonged dull pain in
some part of one's body is called an ache.
Pain is a more general term, but it is not restricted
to the skin. It comes on suddenly, can be local or
widespread, and can be mild or acute. Ache, on the
other hand, is persistent, generally restricted to an
area or organ and is chronic. Ache does not hinder
you from doing something while pain does.
And ache comes out of tiring, say of muscles for
example, and lasts a while. Unlike pain, it is
persistent and dull. It is the body’s signal to take
suitable remedial measures.
