II. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
The stethoscope is considered as an iconic symbol of medicine. It was invented in 1816 by
the French physician René Théophile Hyacinthe Laënnec (1781-1826). At that time, in
order to diagnose the patient’s conditions, doctors had to use immediate auscultation, which
means placing their ears directly on the chests of patients to hear the heartbeat. This could
be quite embarrassing for female patients. One day, while walking in Paris, Dr. René saw
two children sending signals to each other using a long piece of solid wood and making
scratching sounds with a pin. It was this observation that inspired his invention of the
stethoscope. First, he tested this idea by rolling up a piece of paper and then used it to listen
to his patient’s chest. He was surprised that he was able to hear his patient’s heartbeat more
clearly. Dr. René later experimented with different types of materials until he finally
decided upon a hollow tube of wood. He called this instrument “the cylinder” due to its
shape. Then, he changed its name into the “stethoscope” because from the Greek ‘stethos’
means chest and ‘skopein’ means examining. In 1851, an Irish doctor named Arthur Leared
invented a binaural version of the stethoscope. A year later, George Cammann created a
flexible, rubber stethoscope and it was put into mass production. Throughout the 20th
century, many minor improvements were made to the stethoscope to reduce weight,
improve acoustic quality, and filter out external noise. Electronic versions of the stethoscope
were also introduced to further amplify the sounds inside the body. During the Covid-19
pandemic, digital stethoscopes are seen as a major rise in popularity. A digital stethoscope is
able to convert an acoustic sound to electronic signals which can be transmitted to a
personal computer, and doctors can remotely listen to it.
