1、
A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes
full 1 of the facts he observes. He doesn't accept ideas which are not 2 on obvious facts,and therefore refuses to accept
authority(权威)as the only 3 for truth. He
always 4 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
The rise of 5 science may perhaps be considered
to 6 as far back as the 7 of Roger Bacon,the wonderful philosopher (哲学家)of Oxford, who lived 8 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle 9 to suggest that we must learn science 10 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 11 many important discoveries.
Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later ( 1564 〜1642), was the greatest of several great men, 12 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 13 to show how many
important 14 could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 15 towards the earth than small ones, 16 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 17 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall
two 18 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo's science 19 of going direct to Nature, and proving our
20 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.

Early one morning,more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on
the 1 of a sewing machine but he had 2 a very difficult problem:it seemed impossible to get the thread to run
smoothly 3 the needle.
4 he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he was caught by terrible savages(野蛮
人)whose 5 wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a 6 sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe met with
the 7 problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle.
The king flew into the rage(大怒)and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears(矛) 8 . Suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a 9 in the tip of each spear.
The inventor awoke from the dream, 10 that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the 11 of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and make the first
really 12 sewing machine.
To know the 13 of dreams, you have
to 14 what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无意识的)but
still 15 part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the 16 . It stores all sorts of information that you may have 17 or never have
really 18 .
It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are 19 . However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It uses strange 20 which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.

Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to 1 how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I 2 that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and 3 friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was 4 , nothing about my term in France was what I 5 .
The moment I arrived in Paris, I was 6 by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting 7 I received some shocking news from my program coordinator (协调人): there had been a death in my host pare nts’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had
to 8 out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I'd have a 9 this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑)
to 10 my native language, I asked not to be 11 with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I 12 myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian (巴西人) the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the 13 .
I left France with many 14 , so when people ask me what my
favorite part of the trip was, they are always 15 to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends 16 France we enjoyed together. I love how people 17 seem so different, but end up being so 18 . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people 19 to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful 20 .

The concept of solitude(独处) in the digital world is almost non-existent . In the world of digital technology , e-mail , social networking and online video games , information is meant to be 1 . Solitude can be hard to discover 2 it has been given up . In this respect , new technologies have 3 our culture .
The desire to be connected has brought solitude to a (n) 4 as we've known it . People have become so 5 in the world of networks and connections that one can often be contacted 6 they'd rather not be . Today we can talk , text , e-mail , chat and blog(博客), not only from
our 7 , but from our mobile phones as well .
Most developed nations have become 8 on digital technology simply because they've grown accustomed to it , and at this point

I suppose the positive side is that solitude is still possible for anyone who 13 wants it. Computers can be shut 14 and mobile phones can be turned off. The ability to be “connected”and “ on”has
many 15 , as well as disadvantages. Travelers have ended
up 16 on mountains, and mobile phones have saved countless lives. They can also make people feel 17 and forced to answer unwanted calls or 18 to unwanted texts.
Attitudes towards our connectedness as a society 19 across generations. Some find today’s technology a gift. Others consider it a curse. Regardless of anyone’s view on the subject, it’s hard to imagine what life would be like 20 daily advancements in technology.

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源)of temptation(诱惑). But the 1 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2 more remarkable.
After spotting a 3 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for
the 4 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 5 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系)the driver, only
to 6 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car—which was itself worth £35, 000—in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet
was 9 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .
Mr. Anderson said:"I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and
12 he didn’t take t he wallet for himself;he thought about others 13 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there
are 14 guys out there."
Mr. Smith’s act 15 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 16 about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 17 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown 18 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had
job 19 and all sorts," Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 20 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.
