360 BCSOPHISTby Platotranslated by Benjamin JowettSOPHISTPERSONS OF THE DIALOGUE: THEODORUS; THEAETETUS; SOCRATES; An ELEATIC STRANGER, whom Theodorus and Theaetetus bringwith them; The younger SOCRATES, who is a silent auditorTheodorus. Here we are, Socrates, true to our agreement ofyesterday; and we bring with us a stranger from Elea, who is adisciple of Parmenides and Zeno, and a true philosopher.Socrates. Is he not rather a god, Theodorus, who comes to us inthe disguise of a stranger? For Homer says that all the gods, andespecially the god of strangers, are companions of the meek andjust, and visit the good and evil among men. And may not yourcompanion be one of those higher powers, a cross-examining deity,who has come to spy out our weakness in argument, and tocross-examineus?Theod. Nay, Socrates, he is not one of the disputatious sort-he istoo good for that. And, in my opinion, he is not a god at all; butdivine he certainly is, for this is a title which I shouldgive to allphilosophers.Soc. Capital, my friend! and I may add that they are almost ashard to be discerned as the gods. For the true philosophers, andsuch as are not merely made up for the occasion, appear in variousforms unrecognized by the ignorance of men, and they "hover aboutcities," as Homer declares, looking from above upon human life; andsome think nothing of them, and others can never think enough; andsometimes they appear as statesmen, and sometimes as sophists; andthen, again, to many they seem to be no better than madmen. I shouldlike to ask our Eleatic friend, if he would tell us, what is thoughtabout them in Italy, and to whom the terms are applied.Theod. What terms?Soc. Sophist, statesman, philosopher.Theod. What is your difficulty about them, and what made you ask?Soc. I want to know whether by his countrymen they are regarded asone or two; or do they, as the names are three, distinguishalso threekinds, and assign one to each name?Theod. I dare say that the Stranger will not object to discuss thequestion. What do you say, Stranger?Stranger. I am far from objecting, Theodorus, nor have I any difficulty in replying that by us they are regarded as three. But to define precisely the nature of each of them is by no means aslight oreasy task.Theod. You have happened to light, Socrates, almost on the very question which we were asking our friend before we camehither, and heexcused himself to us, as he does now you; although he admitted that the matter had been fully discussed, and that he remembered the answer.Soc. Then do not, Stranger, deny us the first favour whichwe ask ofyou: I am sure that you will not, and therefore I shall only beg ofyou to say whether you like and are accustomed to make a long oration on a subject which you want to explain to another, or to proceed by the method of question and answer. I remember hearing a very noble discussion in which Parmenides employed the latter of the two methods, when I was a young man, and he was far advancedin years.Str. I prefer to talk with another when he responds pleasantly,and is light in hand; if not, I would rather have my own say.Soc. Any one of the present company will respond kindly to you,and you can choose whom you like of them; I should recommend you to take a young person-Theaetetus, for example-unless you have a preference for some one else.Str. I feel ashamed, Socrates, being a new comer into yoursociety, instead of talking a little and hearing others talk, to be spinning out a long soliloquy or address, as if I wanted to showoff. For the true answer will certainly be a very long one, a greatdeal longer than might be expected from such a short and simple question. At the same time, I fear that I may seem rude and ungraciousif I refuse your courteous request, especially after what you have said. For I certainly cannot object to your proposal, thatTheaetetus should respond, having already conversed with him myself, and being recommended by you to take him.Theaetetus. But are you sure, Stranger, that this will be quite so acceptable to the rest of the company as Socrates imagines?Str. You hear them applauding, Theaetetus; after that, there is nothing more to be said. Well then, I am to argue with you,and if youtire of the argument, you may complain of your friends and not of me. Theaet. I do not think that I shall tire, and if I do, I shall getmy friend here, young Socrates, the namesake of the elder Socrates, tohelp; he is about my own age, and my partner at the gymnasium, and is constantly accustomed to work with me.Str. Very good; you can decide about that for yourself as we proceed. Meanwhile you and I will begin together and enquire into the nature of the Sophist, first of the three: I should like you tomake out what he is and bring him to light in a discussion; for at present we are only agreed about the name, but of the thing to which we both apply the name possibly you have one notion and I another; whereas we ought always to come to an understanding about the thing itself in terms of a definition, and not merely about the name minus the definition. Now the tribe of Sophists which we are investigating is not easily caught or defined; and the world has long ago agreed, that if great subjects are to be adequately treated, they must be studied in the lesser and easier instances of them before we proceed to the greatest of all. And as I know that the tribe of Sophists is troublesome and hard to be caught, I should recommend thatwe practisebeforehand the method which is to be applied to him on some simple andsmaller thing, unless you can suggest a better way.Theaet. Indeed I cannot.Str. Then suppose that we work out some lesser examplewhich will bea pattern of the greater?Theaet. Good.Str. What is there which is well known and not great, and is yetas susceptible of definition as any larger thing? Shall I say an angler? He is familiar to all of us, and not a very interesting or important person.Theaet. He is not.Str. Yet I suspect that he will furnish us with the sort ofdefinition and line of enquiry which we want.Theaet. Very good.Str. Let us begin by asking whether he is a man having art or not having art, but some other power.Theaet. He is clearly a man of art.Str. And of arts there are two kinds?Theaet. What are they?Str. There is agriculture, and the tending of mortal creatures,and the art of constructing or moulding vessels, and there is theart of imitation-all these may be appropriately called by a single name.Theaet. What do you mean? And what is the name?Str. He who brings into existence something that did not exist before is said to be a producer, and that which is brought into existence is said to be produced.Theaet. True.Str. And all the arts which were just now mentioned are characterized by this power of producing?Theaet. They are.Str. Then let us sum them up under the name of productive or creative art.Theaet. Very good.Str. Next follows the whole class of learning and cognition; then comes trade, fighting, hunting. And since none of these produces anything, but is only engaged in conquering by word or deed, or in preventing others from conquering, things which exist and have been already produced-in each and all of these branches thereappears to bean art which may be called acquisitive.Theaet. Yes, that is the proper name.Str. Seeing, then, that all arts are either acquisitive orcreative,in which class shall we place the art of the angler?Theaet. Clearly in the acquisitive class.Str. And the acquisitive may be subdivided into two parts: thereis exchange, which is voluntary and is effected by gifts, hire, purchase; and the other part of acquisitive, which takes by force of word or deed, may be termed conquest?Theaet. That is implied in what has been said.Str. And may not conquest be again subdivided?Theaet. How?Str. Open force may; be called fighting, and secret force may have the general name of hunting?Theaet. Yes.Str. And there is no reason why the art of hunting should not be further divided.Theaet. How would you make the division?Str. Into the hunting of living and of lifeless prey.Theaet. Yes, if both kinds exist.Str. Of course they exist; but the hunting after lifeless things having no special name, except some sorts of diving, and other small matters, may be omitted; the hunting after living things maybe calledanimal hunting.Theaet. Yes.Str. And animal hunting may be truly said to have two divisions, land-animal hunting, which has many kinds and names, andwater-animalshunting, or the hunting after animals who swim?Theaet. True.Str. And of swimming animals, one class lives on the wing and theother in the water?Theaet. Certainly.Str. Fowling is the general term under which the hunting of allbirds is included.Theaet. True.Str. The hunting of animals who live in the water has the general name of fishing.Theaet. Yes.Str. And this sort of hunting may be further divided also into two principal kinds?Theaet. What are they?Str. There is one kind which takes them in nets, anotherwhich takesthem by a blow.Theaet. What do you mean, and how do you distinguish them?Str. As to the first kind-all that surrounds and encloses anythingto prevent egress, may be rightly called an enclosure.Theaet. Very true.Str. For which reason twig baskets, casting nets, nooses, creels,and the like may all be termed "enclosures"?Theaet. True.Str. And therefore this first kind of capture may be called by us capture with enclosures, or something of that sort?Theaet. Yes.Str. The other kind, which is practised by a blow with hooks and three pronged spears, when summed up under one name, may be called striking, unless you, Theaetetus, can find some better name?Theaet. Never mind the name-what you suggest will do very well.Str. There is one mode of striking, which is done at night, and bythe light of a fire, and is by the hunters themselves called firing,or spearing by firelight.Theaet. True.Str. And the fishing by day is called by the general nameof barbingbecause the spears, too, are barbed at the point.Theaet. Yes, that is the term.Str. Of this barb-fishing, that which strikes the fish Who isbelow from above is called spearing, because this is the way inwhich the three-pronged spears are mostly used.Theaet. Yes, it is often called so.Str. Then now there is only one kind remaining.Theaet. What is that?Str. When a hook is used, and the fish is not struck in any chance part of his body-he as be is with the spear, but only about the head and mouth, and is then drawn out from below upwards with reeds and rods:-What is the right name of that mode of fish, Theaetetus?Theaet. I suspect that we have now discovered the object of our search.Str. Then now you and I have come to an understanding notonly aboutthe name of the angler's art, but about the definition of the thing itself. One half of all art was acquisitive-half of all the art acquisitive art was conquest or taking by force, half of this was hunting, and half of hunting was hunting animals, half of this was hunting water animals-of this again, the under half was fishing,half of fishing was striking; a part of striking was fishing with a barb, and one half of this again, being the kind which strikes witha hook and draws the fish from below upwards, is the artwhich we havebeen seeking, and which from the nature of the operation is denoted angling or drawing up (aspalienutike, anaspasthai).Theaet. The result has been quite satisfactorily brought out.Str. And now, following this pattern, let us endeavour to find out what a Sophist is.Theaet. By all means.Str. The first question about the angler was, whether he was a skilled artist or unskilled?Theaet. True.Str. And shall we call our new friend unskilled, or a thorough master of his craft?Theaet. Certainly not unskilled, for his name, as, indeed, you imply, must surely express his nature.Str. Then he must be supposed to have some art.Theaet. What art?Str. By heaven, they are cousins! it never occurred to us.Theaet. Who are cousins?Str. The angler and the Sophist.Theaet. In what way are they related?Str. They both appear to me to be hunters.Theaet. How the Sophist? Of the other we have spoken.Str. You remember our division of hunting, into hunting after swimming animals and land animals?Theaet. Yes.Str. And you remember that we subdivided the swimming and left the land animals, saying that there were many kinds of them?Theaet. Certainly.Str. Thus far, then, the Sophist and the angler, starting from theart of acquiring, take the same road?Theaet. So it would appear.Str. Their paths diverge when they reach the art of animal hunting; the one going to the seashore, and to the rivers and to the lakes, and angling for the animals which are in them.Theaet. Very true.Str. While the other goes to land and water of another sort-riversof wealth and broad meadow-lands of generous youth; and he also is intending to take the animals which are in them.Theaet. What do you mean?Str. Of hunting on land there are two principal divisions.Theaet. What are they?Str. One is the hunting of tame, and the other of wild animals.Theaet. But are tame animals ever hunted?Str. Yes, if you include man under tame animals. But ifyou like youmay say that there are no tame animals, or that, if there are, manis not among them; or you may say that man is a tame animalbut is nothunted-you shall decide which of these alternatives you prefer.Theaet. I should say, Stranger, that man is a tame animal, and I admit that he is hunted.Str. Then let us divide the hunting of tame animals into two parts. Theaet. How shall we make the division?Str. Let us define piracy, man-stealing, tyranny, thewhole militaryart, by one name, as hunting with violence.Theaet. Very good.Str. But the art of the lawyer, of the popular orator, and the artof conversation may be called in one word the art of persuasion.Theaet. True.Str. And of persuasion, there may be said to be two kinds?Theaet. What are they?Str. One is private, and the other public.Theaet. Yes; each of them forms a class.Str. And of private hunting, one sort receives hire, and the other brings gifts.Theaet. I do not understand you.Str. You seem never to have observed the manner in which lovers hunt.Theaet. To what do you refer?Str. I mean that they lavish gifts on those whom they hunt in addition to other inducements.Theaet. Most true.Str. Let us admit this, then, to be the amatory art.Theaet. Certainly.Str. But that sort of hireling whose conversation is pleasing and who baits his hook only with pleasure and exacts nothing but his maintenance in return, we should all, if I am not mistaken, describe as possessing flattery or an art of making things pleasant.Theaet. Certainly.Str. And that sort, which professes to form acquaintances only for the sake of virtue, and demands a reward in the shape of money, may befairly called by another name?Theaet. To be sure.Str. And what is the name? Will you tell me?Theaet. It is obvious enough; for I believe that we have discovered the Sophist: which is, as I conceive, the proper name for the class described.Str. Then now, Theaetetus, his art may be traced as a branch of the appropriative, acquisitive family-which huntsanimals,-living-land-tame animals; which hunts man,-privately-for hire,-taking money in exchange-having the semblance of education; and this is termed Sophistry, and is a hunt after young men of wealth and rank-such is the conclusion.Theaet. Just so.Str. Let us take another branch of his genealogy; for he is a professor of a great and many sided art; and if we look back at what has preceded we see that he presents another aspect, besides that of which we are speaking.Theaet. In what respect?Str. There were two sorts of acquisitive art; the oneconcerned withhunting, the other with exchange.Theaet. There were.Str. And of the art of exchange there are two divisions, the oneof giving, and the other of selling.Theaet. Let us assume that.Str. Next, will suppose the art of selling to be divided into two parts.Theaet. How?Str. There is one part which is distinguished as the saleof a man'sown productions; another, which is the exchange of the works of others.Theaet. Certainly.Str. And is not that part of exchange which takes place inthe city,being about half of the whole, termed retailing?Theaet. Yes.Str. And that which exchanges the goods of one city for those of another by selling and buying is the exchange of the merchant?Theaet. To be sure.Str. And you are aware that this exchange of the merchant is of two kinds: it is partly concerned with food for the use of the body, and partly with the food of the soul which is bartered andreceived inexchange for money.Theaet. What do you mean?Str. You want to know what is the meaning of food for the soul;the other kind you surely understand.Theaet. Yes.Str. Take music in general and painting and marionette playing and many other things, which are purchased in one city, and carried away and sold in another-wares of the soul which are hawked about either for the sake of instruction or amusement;-may not he who takes them about and sells them be quite as truly called a merchant as he who sells meats and drinks?Theaet. To be sure he may.Str. And would you not call by the same name him who buys up knowledge and goes about from city to city exchanging his wares for money?Theaet. Certainly I should.Str. Of this merchandise of the soul, may not one part be fairly termed the art of display? And there is another part which is certainly not less ridiculous, but being a trade in learning must be called by some name germane to the matter?Theaet. Certainly.Str. The latter should have two names,-one descriptive of the saleof the knowledge of virtue, and the other of the sale of other kindsof knowledge.Theaet. Of course.Str. The name of art-seller corresponds well enough to the latter;but you must try and tell me the name of the other.Theaet. He must be the Sophist, whom we are seeking; no other name can possibly be right.Str. No other; and so this trader in virtue again turns out to beour friend the Sophist, whose art may now be traced from the art of acquisition through exchange, trade, merchandise, to a merchandiseof the soul which is concerned with speech and the knowledge of virtue.Theaet. Quite true.Str. And there may be a third reappearance of him;-for he may have settled down in a city, and may fabricate as well as buy these same wares, intending to live by selling them, and he would stillbe calleda Sophist?Theaet. Certainly.Str. Then that part of acquisitive art which exchanges, and of exchange which either sells a man's own productions or retails those of others; as the case may be, and in either way sells the knowledgeof virtue, you would again term Sophistry?Theaet. I must, if I am to keep pace with the argument.Str. Let us consider once more whether there may not be yet another aspect of sophistry.Theaet. What is it?Str. In the acquisitive there was a subdivision of the combativeor fighting art.Theaet. There was.Str. Perhaps we had better divide it.Theaet. What shall be the divisions?Str. There shall be one division of the competitive, and anotherof the pugnacious.Theaet. Very good.Str. That part of the pugnacious which is contest ofbodily strengthmay be properly called by some such name as violent.Theaet. True.Str. And when the war is one of words, it may be termed controversy?Theaet. Yes.Str. And controversy may be of two kinds.Theaet. What are they?Str. When long speeches are answered by long speeches, and there is public discussion about the just and unjust, that is forensic controversy.Theaet. Yes.Str. And there is a private sort of controversy, which is cut upinto questions and answers, and this is commonly called disputation? Theaet. Yes, that is the name.Str. And of disputation, that sort which is only a discussionabout contracts, and is carried on at random, and without rules-art, is recognized by the reasoning faculty to be a distinctclass, but hashitherto had no distinctive name, and does not deserve to receive one from us.Theaet. No; for the different sorts of it are too minute and heterogeneous.Str. But that which proceeds by rules of art to dispute about justice and injustice in their own nature, and about things in general, we have been accustomed to call argumentation (Eristic)? Theaet. Certainly.Str. And of argumentation, one sort wastes money, and the other makes money.Theaet. Very true.Str. Suppose we try and give to each of these two classes a name. Theaet. Let us do so.Str. I should say that the habit which leads a man to neglect hisown affairs for the pleasure of conversation, of which the style isfar from being agreeable to the majority of his hearers, maybe fairlytermed loquacity: such is my opinion.Theaet. That is the common name for it.Str. But now who the other is, who makes money out of private disputation, it is your turn to say.Theaet. There is only one true answer: he is the wonderful Sophist, of whom we are in pursuit, and who reappears again for the fourth time.Str. Yes, and with a fresh pedigree, for he is the money-making species of the Eristic, disputatious, controversial. pugnacious, combative, acquisitive family, as the argument has already proven. Theaet. Certainly.Str. How true was the observation that he was a many-sided animal, and not to be caught with one hand, as they say!Theaet. Then you must catch him with two.Str. Yes, we must, if we can. And therefore let us try, another track in our pursuit of him: You are aware that there are certain menial occupations which have names among servants?Theaet. Yes, there are many such; which of them do you mean?Str. I mean such as sifting, straining, winnowing, threshing.Theaet. Certainly.Str. And besides these there are a great many more, suchas carding,spinning, adjusting the warp and the woof; and thousands of similar expressions are used in the arts.Theaet. Of what are they to be patterns, and what are wegoing to dowith them all?Str. I think that in all of these there is implied a notion of division.Theaet. Yes.Str. Then if, as I was saying, there is one art which includes allof them, ought not that art to have one name?Theaes. And what is the name of the art?Str. The art of discerning or discriminating.Theaet. Very good.Str. Think whether you cannot divide this.Theaet. I should have to think a long while.Str. In all the previously named processes either like has been separated from like or the better from the worse.Theaet. I see now what you mean.Str, There is no name for the first kind of separation; of the second, which throws away the worse and preserves the better, I do know a name.Theaet. What is it?Str. Every discernment or discrimination of that kind, as I have observed, is called a purification.Theaet. Yes, that is the usual expression.Str. And any one may see that purification is of two kinds.Theaet. Perhaps so, if he were allowed time to think; but I do not see at this moment.Str. There are many purifications of bodies which may with proprietybe comprehended under a single name.Theaet. What are they, and what is their name?Str. There is the purification of living bodies in their inwardand in their outward parts, of which the former is duly effected by medicine and gymnastic, the latter by the not very dignified art of the bath-man; and there is the purification of inanimate substances-tothis the arts of fulling and of furbishing in general attend in a number of minute particulars, having a variety of names which are thought ridiculous.Theaet. Very true.Str. There can be no doubt that they are thought ridiculous, Theaetetus; but then the dialectical art never considers whether the benefit to be derived from the purge is greater or less than that tobe derived from the sponge, and has not more interest in the one than in the other; her endeavour is to know what is and isnot kindredin all arts, with a view to the acquisition of intelligence; and having this in view, she honours them all alike, and when she makes comparisons, she counts one of them not a whit more ridiculous than another; nor does she esteem him who adduces as his example of hunting, the general's art, at all more decorous than another who cites that of the vermin-destroyer, but only as the greater pretender of the two. And as to your question concerning the name which was to comprehend all these arts of purification, whether of animate or inanimate bodies, the art of dialectic is in no wise particular about fine words, if she maybe only allowed to have a general name for all other purifications, binding them uptogether andseparating them off from the purification of the soul or intellect.For this is the purification at which she wants to arrive,and this weshould understand to be her aim.Theaet. Yes, I understand; and I agree that there are two sorts of purification and that one of them is concerned with thesoul, and thatthere is another which is concerned with the body.Str. Excellent; and now listen to what I am going to say,and try todivide further the first of the two.Theaet. Whatever line of division you suggest, I will endeavour to assist you.Str. Do we admit that virtue is distinct from vice in the soul?Theaet. Certainly.Str. And purification was to leave the good and to castout whateveris bad?Theaet. True.Str. Then any taking away of evil from the soul may be properly called purification?Theaet. Yes.Str. And in the soul there are two kinds of evil.Theaet. What are they?Str. The one may be compared to disease in the body, the other to deformity.Theaet. I do not understand.Str. Perhaps you have never reflected that disease and discord are the same.Theaet. To this, again, I know not what I should reply.Str. Do you not conceive discord to be a dissolution of kindred clements, originating in some disagreement?Theaet. Just that.Str. And is deformity anything but the want of measure, which is always unsightly?Theaet. Exactly.Str. And do we not see that opinion is opposed to desire, pleasure to anger, reason to pain, and that all these elements are opposed to one another in the souls of bad men?Theaet. Certainly.Str. And yet they must all be akin?Theaet. Of course.Str. Then we shall be right in calling vice a discord and disease ofthe soul?Theaet. Most true.Str. And when things having motion, an aiming at an appointed mark, continually miss their aim and glance aside, shall we say that this is the effect of symmetry among them, or of the want of symmetry?Theaet. Clearly of the want of symmetry.Str. But surely we know that no soul is voluntarily ignorant of anything?Theaet. Certainly not.。

古希腊有个青年人自认为自己比大哲学家苏格拉底还聪明。有一天，苏格拉底问他一个问题：“世间是先有蛋还是先有鸡？” 青年人不假思索地回答：“鸡是从蛋中孵出来的，自然是先有蛋罗!” “蛋是鸡下的。没有鸡，蛋从哪里来？” 青年人想了想说：“那还是先有鸡!” “你刚才已经说过，鸡是从蛋中孵出来的。没有蛋，鸡从哪里来？” 青年人抱怨说：“你怎么提出这样一个怪问题呢？现在我也问你一个问题。” “请提吧。” “你说说是先有蛋还是先有鸡？” 苏格拉底老老实实地回答：“我不知道。” 青年人笑了：“这样看来，你和我其实差不多啊!” 苏格拉底说：“不，你是以不知为知，我是以不知为不知。以不知为知非知，以不知为不知非不知矣!”

Ⅳ. 阅读理解A13、A wild baby bison (野牛) at Yellowstone National Park had to be killed because of tourists.The tourists thought that the baby bison looked cold. They put it in their car and drove to a park ranger (管理员) station.A ranger describ ed the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because adult bisons can look after their babies very well and they will attack (攻击) to protect their young.Park rangers took the animal from the car and set it free. But, sadly, the baby was refused by its family because it had the smell from humans.Yellowstone National Park explained on Facebook that the smell from people can cause parent animals to refuse to accept their young. The park tried again and again to make the baby bison lives with its parents. After several times they had to give up.Many people expressed anger at both the tourists and the park.The park said that they did not have the ability to care for a young bison. They also said that it is “not the task of the pa rk to save animals”.The tourists were fined (罚款) $110 for touching park wildlife. Park rules say that visitors to Yellowstone should stay at least 22 meters away from all wildlife, and at least 90 meters away from bears and wolves.One ranger said that Yellowstone recently added many safety signs that say staying near the wildlife there is dangerous to humans and animals as well. Those signs are written in English and other languages.1．The tourists took the baby bison to a park ranger station because they thought it looked ______.A．sad B．hungry C．happy D．cold2．The park ranger described the action of the tourists as a “dangerous move” because _______.A．the tourists drove in a wrong wayB．adult bisons would attack the touristsC．adult bisons couldn’t look after their baby wel lD．the tourists would make the baby bison sick3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The park refused to send the baby bison back.B．The visitors saved the baby bison.C．Many people are angry at the bison family.D．The smell from humans may bring trouble to bisons.4．From the passage, we can learn that _________.A．we must keep away from any wild animalB．we should care about wild animals in a right wayC．we’ll be fined if we save a bison in the parkD．we’d better write safety signs in many languagesB14、You need some bread and milk. But half an hour later, you leave the supermarket with a trolley(手推车) full of food. What games do supermarkets play to make us spend so much money?The tricks usually start before you walk in. Outside the supermarket entrance, anybody who walks past can smell warm, fresh bread. That makes us hungry and ready to buy lots of food, not just bread.Now you’re inside and, of course, a small basket would be fine, but all they have are trolleys. And of course th e problem with a trolley is that it looks sad and lonely with just one or two products inside. So we may fill it with something. In fact, supermarket trolleys are actually getting bigger so that we buy more.Of course, many people shop in supermarkets because they think everything is cheaper than in other shops. So supermarkets offer very cheap prices on some things but then have higher prices for other products. One new trick is to put red stickers on products. Customers usually connect red stickers with lower prices so the red stickers is easy to be noticed, even when there is no reduction! Interestingly, this trick appears to work more with men than with women.There is a story behind the position of everything in the supermarket. For example, customers often go only to buy milk. So they put it right at the back, forcing you to go past hundreds of shelves full of other products. The position of products on each shelf is also important. The most expensive products are usually at eye-level so you see these immediately. The exception is anything that children might like. These products are on lower shelves so that kids see them.Apart from what you see and smell in a supermarket, what about what you listen to? In most supermarkets they have soft, slow music. I t’s so relaxing that you slow down and spend more time (and money) in the store. You also move more slowly when the supermarket is busy. Experts suggest it’s better to shop when it’s quieter, on a Monday or a Tuesday for example. And be careful with queues at the checkouts. These are sometimes deliberate(故意), to make you buy something from the checkout shelves while you wait.So, next time you go into your local supermarket, remember these tricks and see if you can come with just the things you went for.1．Supermarkets don’t prov ide baskets because ______.A．supermarkets don’t usually have manyB．baskets are too small to hold many productsC．it’s easy to go shopping with trolleysD．a trolley can hold one or two products inside2．According to the passage, supermarkets put red stickers on products to ______.A．make them look more beautifulB．make them different from cheaper onesC．make people think the stickers are for menD．make people think they could save money3．According to the passage, toys for children are usually placed ______.A．on higher shelves B．on each shelf C．on lower shelves D．on the back shelves4．It can be learned from Paragraph 6 that supermarkets usually ______.A．stop people lining up at the checkouts B．close on Monday morningC．play loud and noisy music inside D．make customers feel relaxed5．The passage is mainly about _____.A．several ways supermarkets use to sell more productsB．some advice when people go shopping on the streetC．several rules that every business should followD．some advertisements that make people buy moreC15、When you are about to do something brave, a cheerful wish of “Good luck!” from a friend can be helpful. But if you think you need lots of luck, what else might you do?In the UK and US there are some strange traditions for bringing yourself a little more good luck. Some are hundreds of years old and some are much newer.Have you heard the saying “When you wish upon a star”? If you are looking up at the sky on a clear night and you see a sudden flash of light, it is probably a shooting star! Seeing one doesn’t happen very often. The saying goes that if you see one you have been very lucky, and so ifyou make a wish, it will come true.Maybe you have heard of the lucky rabbit’s foot. Some people believe that rabbits are lucky ani mals, so they carry a part of the rabbit, its foot, for good luck. There are all kinds of strange, unclear rules about which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckie st. It is said that this good luck tradition is the oldest one of all. However, as the funny sayi ng goes, “Depend on the rabbit’s foot if you will, but remember it didn’t work for the rabbit!”People in Britain love trees. If it is autumn and leaves are falling from the trees, some people try to catch the leaves as they fall because they think each leaf they catch will bringthema lucky month in the following year—they will need to catch 12 falling leaves to have a whole of good luck.1．Which thing is mentioned in the oldest good luck tradition?A．A falling leafB．A rabbit’s footC．A shooting starD．A cheerful wish from friends2．According to Paragraph 3, we know that ______.A．people can see a shooting star on a rainy night.B．shooting stars can often be seenC．people believe that it’s unlucky to see a shooting star.D．your wish may come true if you see a shooting star.3．British people try to catch 12 falling leaves because ______.A．the leaves fall in autumn.B．there are so many leaves to catch.C．they want to have a whole year of good luck.D．the leaves can bring them a lucky month.4．In Paragraph 5, the underlined word “them” refers to（指）______.A．leaves B．people C．trees D．years5．The passage is mainly about ______.A．how to wish upon a starB．things that bring good luckC．British people love leavesD．which of the rabbit’s feet is the luckies tD16、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC．Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks andsuggests the words he may want to use next.This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in cha rge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?1．（小题1）Which of the following is TRUE about AI？A．The technology is not very popular now.B．Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.C．It is now much smarter than humans.D．It makes our lives easier.2．（小题2）The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.A．explain how AI has helped usB．show the great hidden use of AIC．show AI has already become part of our lifeD．suggest that AI become dangerous for humans3．（小题3）What would be the best title for this passage?A．AI: a friend or an enemy?B．The development of AIC．The future of human beingsD．The fight between humans and AIE17、Do you know how a young dog or cat gets to know a new home? The animal uses its nose. Right away it smells its new places. Then it makes wider and wider circles, smelling all the time. Before long it can find its way home very well, even in the dark. It simply follows something it knows well.Stories happen about animals who found their way across land they had never smelled before. Take the case of Smoky, a small white cat. Smoky had some funny red hair around its right ear. One day Smoky and his owner began a long journey. They were moving from Oklahoma to Tennessee. When they were just eighteen miles from their Oklahoma home, Smoky jumped out of the car. Then he found his way back to the old house. There he wandered around outside for many days. Finally hedisappeared.A year later Smoky meowed at the door of a house in Tennessee. A man opened the door. “Is that you, Smoky?” he said in surprise. At first he couldn’t believe it. Then he saw the red hair around its right ear. It was Smoky!1．What is the first thing a pet does in a new place?A．It smells the new place. B．It finds its way in the darkC．It follows something it knows.2．Put these events in the right order that they happened.①Smoky got to Tennessee. ②Smoky jumped out of the car. ③Smoky went to his old house.A．③①②B．②③①C．①③②3．The underlined word “wandered” in the passage means _________.A．思考B．围绕C．游荡4．How long did Smoky take to get to the house in Tennessee?A．A year. B．A month. C．A week.5．What is the best title of the passage?A．An Excellent Memory B．A Surprising Journey C．A Humorous CatF18、Two policemen stopped Andrew Kershaw in his sports car one night, because he was speeding in the street of the town.

科学的追求的英语作文

The pursuit of science is an endless journey that has been a fundamental part of human civilization.It is the quest for knowledge,understanding,and the desire to explore the unknown that drives this endeavor.The following essay delves into the various aspects of the scientific pursuit and its significance in shaping our world.The Importance of CuriosityAt the heart of scientific pursuit lies curiosity.It is the innate human desire to know more, to question the status quo,and to seek answers to the mysteries of the universe.Curiosity has led to the discovery of fire,the wheel,and the laws of physics that govern our world. It is this drive that propels scientists to explore the depths of the ocean,the far reaches of space,and the intricacies of the human genome.The Role of InnovationInnovation is the lifeblood of scientific progress.It is through innovative thinking and the development of new technologies that we can push the boundaries of what is known. From the invention of the microscope,which allowed us to see the microscopic world,to the creation of the internet,which has revolutionized communication and data sharing, innovation has been crucial in advancing our understanding of the world.The Power of CollaborationScience is a collaborative endeavor.It is through the sharing of ideas,data,and resources that scientific breakthroughs are made.The pursuit of science often requires the expertise of individuals from various fields,working together to solve complex problems.This collaborative spirit is evident in projects such as the Human Genome Project,which involved scientists from around the world to map the entire human genetic code.The Impact of Science on SocietyThe fruits of scientific pursuit have a profound impact on society.Advances in medicine have increased life expectancy and improved the quality of life for countless individuals. Technological innovations have transformed industries,creating new opportunities for economic growth and development.Moreover,scientific research has led to a greater understanding of our environment,enabling us to address pressing issues such as climate change and sustainable resource management.The Ethical ConsiderationsWhile the pursuit of science offers numerous benefits,it also raises ethical questions.The responsibility of scientists to consider the potential consequences of their work is paramount.This includes ensuring that research is conducted ethically,with respect for the environment and the rights of all individuals involved.The ethical use of scientific knowledge is crucial in maintaining public trust and ensuring that scientific advancements serve the greater good.The Future of Scientific PursuitLooking ahead,the pursuit of science will continue to evolve.With the advent of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and quantum computing,the potential for discovery is vast.However,this also brings new challenges,such as the need for robust data privacy and the ethical implications of creating intelligent machines.In conclusion,the pursuit of science is a dynamic and essential aspect of human endeavor. It is driven by curiosity,innovation,and collaboration,and its impact is felt across all facets of society.As we move forward,it is important to embrace the potential of scientific discovery while also navigating the ethical considerations that accompany such progress.。

His favorite ancient myth is The Odyssey. Tom Hiddleston, 32, could have been a popular professor teaching English Literature at (21) __________ university, but the well-educated British man chose to do something that he loves even more: acting.He’s well-known around the world as the villain Loki from the Hollywood films Thor (2011), The Avengers (2012) and now Thor: The Dark World, which will come out in China on Nov 8. Hiddleston’s role as Thor’s evil brother has led his fans —“Hiddlestoners” — (22) __________ (refer) to h im as “the most charming villain” in cinema.(23) __________ his charm, Hiddleston had a tough time (24) __________ (persuade) his scientist father that acting was a worthwhile job. As a student at Eton, a private school for upper-class kids in England, Hiddleston performed in a lot of school plays. At 18, he appeared on stage at the Edinburgh International Festival. “It was the first time that people I knew and loved and respected came up to me after the show and said: ‘You could really do this (25) __________ you wanted to’,” Hiddleston toldthe Daily Mail.He said that as a teenager he didn’t have much self-esteem, but acting gave him confidence. “It was when they started saying I could do it (26) __________ I really committed to it as a possibility,” he continued. However, his father did not approve, believing his polite and bright son should be using his brains for (27) __________ else. “You’ve been educated, so why do you want to spend your life pretending to be someone else when you could be your own m an?” the father told the son.So, instead of going to drama school, Hiddleston went to Cambridge, (28) __________ he studied classics. There, he continued to appear in student plays and even landed some roles on TV and in local theaters. He managed to balance his acting and his studies so well that he (29) __________ (graduate) with a first-class degree.But Hiddleston’s international breakthrough came when he auditioned for the 2011 film Thor.

That’s about a quarter of the world’s current GDP, and almost half of the world’s current debt,” said U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Women’s Issues Catherine Russell in a recent speech. She also noted that “studies have found that countries with less gender inequality are more secure, and peace 32 last longer when women are at the negot iating table.”Nonetheless, no country in the world can 33 that it has achieved full gender equality.“Around the world, women are vastly 34 in politics and the workforce, particularly in leadership positions and other high-paying jobs,” said Ambassador Russell. At the same time, women make up the majority of the poor. “I’ve heard people say that poverty has a 35 face, and that makes sense when you consider that women control just one-fifth of global wealth,” said Ambassador Russell.World leaders are beginning to recognize that everyone benefits from 36 gender equality, she said. This is why gender equality is part of U.S. foreign policy. A key part of U.S. efforts focus on educating and empowering girls. In the past 18 months, the United States 37 its global strategy to empower adolescent girls, as well as Let Girls Learn, which is a Presidential initiative that focuses on educating girls.We are also working with numerous countries to remove 38 that keep women from inheriting or owning property, entering the formal job market or accessing banking services.“Gender equality sometimes looks like an impossible task —a 39 without an end,” said Ambassador Russell. “But...we can make progress, and that progress is worth making. Little by little, discussion by discussion, step by step, we can improve the lives of women and girls, men and boys all around the world. And in doing so, we can reach our 40 goals of peace, prosperity, and security.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.“Achievement Gap” Closing Slightly for Young Students in U.S.Within many education systems, wealthier students often test better than poorer ones, which, to education experts, is often called the “achievement gap.”Sean Reardon is a professor of poverty and 41 in education at Stanford. He studied children and how they prepare for kindergarten classes. He also looked at how their preparation has changed since the 1990s. He found 42 that from 1998 to 2010 the achievement gap closed a little.One way to reduce the gap is to offer pre-kindergarten 43 to very young children.Education experts and some politicians have long 44 for pre-kindergarten classes for all young children. In fact, it has been a 45 heard on the political campaign trail —universal pre-kindergarten classes for all 3- and 4-year-olds.Such classes are already being offered in some areas around the United States, including the U.S. capital, Washington, D.C. 46 ,education reformers may want to look to Washington as a role model.Vincent Gray, former mayor of the District of Columbia, wrote the legislation for universal pre-K when he was chairman of the D.C. Council. His 47 gave parents of all children in Washington the choice to begin school at either age 3 or 4. The pre-K programs are not a 48 in the city. Parents can still choose what is best for their family. But many parents are choosing education.However, there are theories that say a child does not need schooling at the age of 3 and 4. If we are looking at test results, Finland 49 the United States and most other countries in mathematics, reading and science. Yet Finnish children do not start school until age 7.Perhaps there is not a one-size-fits-all answer. Perhaps different children need school at different times. Generally, wealthier parents have more 50 resources to help their children. Educated parents — wealthy or not — may know how to use the resources that are available to them. For example, they may take their children to free events at a public library or recreation center. Washington, D.C. also has many museums with free 51 .Perhaps children who grow up with these types of activities don’t need to start attending school at age 3. However, children who are growing up in what Vincent Gray calls socio-economically 52 situations may not have access to such activities. For some families, he says, starting school at age 3 can be a game changer.Pre-kindergarten classes do more than 53 the child. They also bring parents and caregivers into the schools. This point of contact, explains Gray, is a valuable time to educate families.A federal study found that, 54 , parent involvement increasedwith such contacts. But it increased even more among 55 parents. It shows schools offer a place where conversations with these parents can happen.41. A. efficiency B. inequality C. convenience D. independence42.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Science not always so seriousDid you know that if you attach a weighted stick to the back of a chicken, it walks like a dinosaur?No, you did not know (or care to know) such things, but now you do! Thanks to this year’s winn ers of the Ig Nobel Prizes! Now in its 25th year, the Ig Nobel is the goofy younger cousin of the honored Nobel Prize. It applauds achievements in the fields of medicine, biology, physics, economics, literature, etc. Every September at Harvard University, awards are presented in 10 categories that change year to year, depending on — according to the organization —what makes the judges “laugh, then think”.The ceremony officially begins when audience members launch paper airplanes at an assigned human target on the stage, then speakers only have 60 seconds to present their research. In previous years, the one-minute rule was imposed by a young girl —nicknamed Miss Sweetie Poo —who would go up to the platform and repeat the words: “Please stop, I’m bored,” in a sharp tone until the speaker left the stage.Fortunately for candidates though, the Ig Informal Lectures are held afterwards on Saturday to give presenters more time to explain the crazy things they’re working on.The research can seem more like the brainchildren of teenage boys than of respectable adults. JustinSchmidt won the physiology Ig for creating the “Sting Pain Index,” which rates the pain people feel after getting stung (蛰) by insects. Smith pressed bees against 25 different parts of his body until they stung him. Five stings a day for 38 days, Smith concluded that the most painful sting locations were the nostril (鼻孔) and the upper lip. Ouch.As silly as they sound, not all of the Ig awards lack scientific applicability. A group of scientists from 12 different countries won in the medicine category for accurately diagnosing patientswith appendicitis (阑尾炎) based on an unusual measurement: speed bumps (减速带). They found that patients are more likely to have appendicitis if they report pain during bumpy car rides.All these weird experiments have just one thing in common. They’re improbable. It can be tempting to assume that “improbable” implies more than that — implies bad or good, worthless or valuable, trivial or important. Something improbable can be any of those, or none of them, or all of them, in different ways. And what you don’t expect can be a powerful force for not only entertaining science, but also for the boundary-pushing science we call innovation.56. The underlined word “goofy” in Paragraph 2 probably means __________.A. timidB. funnyC. gloriousD. warm-hearted57. According to the passage, what can we know about the awarding ceremony of Ig Nobel?A. It is held at a fixed place.B. Candidates should know how to fold paper planes.C. Miss Sweetie Poo is one of the hostesses.D. Ig Informal Lecture gives presenters 60 seconds to finish their speeches.58. The example in Paragraph 6 is used to illustrate that Ig Nobel __________.A. celebrates the diligent work of researchersB. offers another opportunity to those who miss the Nobel PrizesC. serves as a platform for the creative and practical achievementsD. amuses the audience59. Among the four candidates below, who is most likely towin an Ig Nobel?A. A chemist who invents a chemical method to partially un-boil an egg.B. A novelist who criticizes social injustice severely.C. A physicist who studies the origin of the universe.D. An economist who achieves a breakthrough in the study of international trade.(B)All aboard: try these outHere are new card games popular in the Western geek circle that offer much brain work. Give them a try if you fancy testing your limits.MysteriumIn this game, the players are to solve a murder mystery in order to put rest the soul of a wrongly-accused man who dies in prison.Mysterium allows one player to be the ghost itself, who offers hints to other players in the way of “dream cards”. The dream cards will then lead players to the cards with details about the murder weapon, location and suspects. Figuring out the connections between these elements will help them find the murderer.Playing the ghost can be fun, as Tony Mastrangeli, a game reviewer, puts it, “For me, some of the most fun comes from playing the ghost role. I like steering the ship and handing out cards.”CodenamesCodenames starts players out with cards. Each card bears a word on the front and a secret identity on the reverse. Players are divided into two teams, red team and blue team. Each team hasa leader, or “spymaster”, who ow ns a map of each hidden identity. It’s then their job to give out clues so the team members can find their own spies.Spymasters can only indicate the word on the card following a strict format: a single word followed by a number. For example, if the cards bearing “cactus (仙人掌)” and “heat” both belong to the red team, the clue can be “desert, two”. The red team members will then start discussing the clues and try to find the two cards that relate to “desert”.Pandemic: LegacyIn this game, you and your friends play a team of doctors and scientists, who can help to prevent four deadly diseases from wiping out humanity. This is a cooperative game, which means you and your teammates either live together or die together.By drawing an instruction card, teammates will be able to move, treat diseases or build a research station. If they draw one of the five “epidemic” (流行病) cards, the city will suffer a disease outbreak. If handled wrong, outbreaks might lead to a chain reaction and cause things to crash down.Pandemic: Legacy requires you to look at the bigger picture before making any decisions. Finding the balance between treating diseases and seeking more permanent cures is a constant challenge.60. Playing the ghost in Mysterium offers you a lot of fun because __________.A. you can bring the poor man back to lifeB. you can solve the murder mystery by yourselfC. you can dominate the whole gameD. you can select your partners61. In Codenames, what clue may the Spymaster give for thecards bearing “agency”, “climate” and “fountain”?A. “architecture, 3”B. “tourism, 3”C. “location, 3”D. “geology, 3”62. Which of the following is NOT true about Pandemic: Legacy?A. It’s a role-play game.B. Its players need to beat one another.C. It provides fun and mental challenge.D. It calls for carefulness and comprehensive thinking to win the challenge.(C)The MacArthur Foundation late last month announced its latest crop of “genius grants”, and once again you thought maybe, just maybe, this was your year.And why not? These days, we’re all geniuses. We might be “marketing geniuses” or “cooking geniuses” or “TV geniuses”. We have so weakened “genius” that it’s fast joining the company of “natural” and “mindful” (留心), words left inactive through overuse and misuse.Admittedly, the word is tough to nail down. Sometimes we assume genius equivalent to raw intelligence. But many of humanity’s greatest breakthroughs were achieved by those with only modest IQs.Sometimes we think of the genius as someone extremely knowledgeable, but that definition also falls short. During Albert Einstein’s time, other scientists knew more physics than Einstein did, but history doesn’t remember them. That’s because they didn’t make use of that knowledge the way Einstein did. They weren’t able to, as he put it, “regard old questions from a new angle”.The genius is not a know-it-all but a see-it-all, someone who, working with the material available to all of us, is able to make surprising and useful connections. True genius involves not merely an extra advance, but a conceptual leap. As philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer put it: Talent hits the target no one else can hit; genius hits the target no one else can see.We’ve lost sight of this truth, and too often grant the title of genius on talented people hitting visible targets. A good example is the much-boasted announcement earlier this year that scientists had, for the first time, recorded the sound of two black holes bumping, a billion light-years away. It was a remarkable discovery, no doubt, but it did not represent a dramatic shift in how we understand the universe. It merely confirmed Einstein’s general theory of relativity.As Plato observed, “What is honored in a country is cultivated there.” What do we honor? Digital technology, and the convenience it represents, so naturally we get a Steve Jobs or a Mark Zuckerberg as our “geniuses”, which, in point of fact, they aren’t.The iPhone and Facebook are wonderful inventions. In many ways, they make our lives a bit easier, a bit more convenient. If anything, though, a true genius makes our lives more difficult, more unsettled. William Shakespeare’s words provide more anxiety than relief, and the world felt a bit more secure before Charles Darwin came along. Zuckerberg and Jobs may have changed our world, but they haven’t yet changed our worldview.We need to recover genius, and a good place to start is by putting the brakes on Genius Flooding.63. The key factor that sets geniuses and talents apart is that __________.A. geniuses have a larger range of knowledgeB. geniuses have access to far more resourcesC. geniuses can see visible targetsD. geniuses approach things differently64. The reasons why people naturally regard Steve Jobs & Mark Zuckerberg as geniuses include all the following EXCEPT that __________.A. their achievements bring people convenienceB. they have extraordinary intelligenceC. they are native to the country where digital technology is highly valuedD. they satisfy people’s needs in the age of high technology65. What can we infer from the passage?A. We should stop the improper use of “natural” and “mindful”.B. The first recording of two black holes bumping each other is a genius breakthrough.C. Charles Darwin is hardly a genius.D. More geniuses remain to be found in our life.66. What is the best title for the passage?A. Get a new word, genius.B. Learn from a new model, genius.C. Join in a new group, genius.D. Make a new friend, genius.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. It all depends on the airline.B. Premium economy is always worth the money.C. In the end, it all comes down to money and how much you think it’s worthwhile to pay more.D. Just as with business class and even regular coach, the seats and product vary significantly from one airline to the next.E. That couldn’t be further from the truth.F. Delta’s Comfort +, gives you slightly more spa ce and a chance to board early.5 Fictions about Premium Economy (豪华经济舱)If the sight of your fellow passengers relaxing in premium economy has you filled with envy, you’re not alone. It seems like every airline is providing a few rows of seats that offer just that much more legroom and space. But is it worth the price? Here are five fictions about premium economy class.1. Premium economy is pretty much the same on every airline.“__________ (67)”, says Zach Honig, editor-in-chief of the The Points Guy. Benefits can include anywhere from 5 to 7 inches of extra legroom, a slightly wider seat and slightly more seat recline (向后倚靠). Other conveniences can include adjustable head rests, leg rests on some carriers, larger personal TV screens, power ports and a better level of food. But frankly, nothing is standardized.2. You get a meal and free drinks with a premium economy seat.Not on most domestic flights that offer a semblance (表象) of international service. __________(68). But when it comes to meals, you’ll g et a few more bags of free peanuts than they offer in coach and the opportunity to purchase pre-packed in-flight meals before economy-class passengers do.3. There are others benefits, like free Wi-Fi.You might find furrier pillows and larger blankets, but add-ons like in-flight Wi-Fi usually come along with an additionalcharge. “__________ (69)”, says DiScala of Johnny Jet, who adds, “Some do, so always ask. I made the mistake of buying Wi-Fi on my SAS flight in June. I later learned that premium passengers get it for free.”4. You get a lot more space.A “lot more space” is very relative. Don’t expect a huge seat, just one that’s somewhat larger than those in economy on the same aircraft. Honig says that “You can expect to find roughly as much space as y ou’ll get in the domestic first-class cabin on a U.S. airline, or in JetBlue’s ‘Even More Space’ section. It’s definitely more than you’ll have in coach.”5. __________ (70)“Just as with business class, it’s worth checking the price of premium economy,” s ays Leff of . “The addition may not be very high. Last weekend, I wrote about premium economy on Virgin Atlantic being cheaper than coach. But it may also be much more expensive. Airfares vary dramatically, and that’s as true for premium economy as it is for coach.”IV. Summary WritingDirections: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.A Father’s Influence Makes for Better GradesAdolescents from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers to underachieve and to drop out of school. Studies have shown that a positive attitude towards school work and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face. Most of theevidence about the effects of parental involvement comes from research on mothers. Little is known, however, about how adolescents experience their fathers’ warmth and the beliefs and behaviors that are most affected by it.This new study is part of a larger one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States. Data were analyzed from questionnaires completed by 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork, and how they experienced their fathers. The questionnaires were completed primarily by respondents of Mexican American, African American and European American descent. Their maths and language arts grades were also obtained.Their findings show how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism, self-efficacy, and, ultimately, higher achievement at school.These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters, while in different ways. Experiencing their father’s warmth first influences daughters’ sense of optimism, and then spills over into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities. This in turn leads to better math grades. There is a more direct link between their fathers’ involvement and teenage boys’ belief in their ability to succeed on the academic front. This heightened self-confidence increased their success in English language arts classes.Suizzo suggests that counselors and educators should encourage fathers to communicate warmth and acceptance to their children, because of the positive influence these emotions have on their well-being.V.

真正的智慧总是与谦虚相连英文作文

真正的智慧总是与谦虚相连英文作文True Wisdom is Always Connected to HumilityDo you know what wisdom really means? It's not just about being really smart or knowing a lot of things. True wisdom goes much deeper than that. It's about understanding the world in a special way and making good choices. But here's the catch – the wisest people are also the most humble ones. Let me explain!I first started thinking about this when my teacher told us the story of the famous Greek philosopher, Socrates. He was supposed to be one of the wisest people who ever lived. But you know what he said? "The only true wisdom is in knowing that you know nothing." At first, that didn't make any sense to me. How could the wisest man claim to know nothing? Shouldn't he know everything?But then I realized that Socrates wasn't saying he was completely clueless. He meant that no matter how much he learned, he always stayed humble. He never thought he had all the answers or that his knowledge made him better than anyone else. Instead, he kept an open mind and was willing to listen and learn from others.That's when it hit me – true wisdom isn't just about facts and information. It's about having the humility to understand that there's always more to learn, and that our personal experiences and viewpoints are limited. Wise people don't act like they know it all. They're curious, ask questions, and are open to different perspectives.My mom is one of the wisest people I know, and she's incredibly humble. She's always telling me, "There's so much in this world that I still don't understand. We should never stop learning and growing." Instead of pretending to have all the answers, she admits when she's unsure about something. And she's always eager to learn new things from books, documentaries, or just talking to people.On the other hand, I know some kids at school who think they're really smart just because they get good grades. They act like they know everything, and they're not interested in hearing other viewpoints. But in my opinion, those kids aren't truly wise. They might be knowledgeable, but they lack the humility that comes with real wisdom.Another example of humility and wisdom is my grandpa. He's an incredibly kind and gentle person who has lived a long, rich life. Whenever I ask him for advice, he never gives me asimple answer or tells me what to do. Instead, he shares stories and experiences from his own life, and lets me draw my own conclusions. He knows that true wisdom can't just be handed to someone – it has to be discovered and understood through lived experiences.And that's another key point about wisdom – it's not just about knowing facts, but about understanding the deeper truths of life. Things like compassion, kindness, patience, and seeing the bigger picture. Those qualities come from a place of humility, not arrogance or pride.I'll never forget the time when my grandpa was teaching me how to fish. After hours of trying with no luck, I got really frustrated and felt like giving up. But my grandpa stayed calm and patient. He said, "Sometimes the wisest thing we can do is let go of our expectations and simply appreciate the beauty around us." In that moment, I realized he was right – true wisdom isn't just about achieving our goals, but about finding joy and meaning in the journey itself.So how can we cultivate this kind of humble wisdom in our own lives? I think it starts with being curious and open-minded. Instead of thinking we have all the answers, we should ask questions and be willing to learn from others. We should alsopractice gratitude and appreciate the many things we don't yet understand or know.It's also important to approach life with a sense of wonder and humility. Instead of acting like we're better or smarter than others, we should approach new experiences and people with respect and a desire to learn. We can learn so much from those who are different from us or come from different backgrounds.Ultimately, true wisdom isn't about proving how smart or knowledgeable we are. It's about having the humility to understand that there's always more to learn, and that our personal experiences and viewpoints are limited. The wisest people are those who remain curious, open-minded, and humble throughout their lives.So the next time you're tempted to act like you know everything, remember the words of Socrates and the humble wisdom of people like my mom and grandpa. True intelligence and understanding come not from arrogance, but from the humility to keep learning, growing, and seeing the world through new perspectives.。

关于一个伟大科学家的品质的英语作文

关于一个伟大科学家的品质的英语作文The Amazing Qualities of Great ScientistsScientists are some of the coolest people on the planet! They get to explore the world around us and make incredible discoveries. But what exactly makes a scientist great? I've been thinking about this a lot, and I've come up with some key qualities that all the greatest scientists seem to have.First off, great scientists are super curious about everything. They never stop asking "Why?" They want to know why things are the way they are and how stuff works. My friend's mom is a scientist and she's always encouraging us to ask questions about the world. Like why is the sky blue? Or how do airplanes stay up in the air? Scientists don't just accept things at face value. Their curiosity drives them to dig deeper and find explanations.Another awesome quality of top scientists is their keen observation skills. They really pay attention to even tiny details that most people overlook. My dad's friend Jane is a botanist who studies plants. She can identify a bazillion different types of trees just by examining their leaves, bark, and seeds. Scientists have to be super observant detectives to notice patterns and clues in the world around them.Speaking of detectives, great scientists are also really good at solving mysteries and problems. They're like super sleuths, gathering evidence and then putting the puzzle pieces together through logical reasoning. For example, when doctors couldn't figure out why some babies were getting very sick, the scientists Marie Curie and Henri Becquerel used their detective skills to discover radiation. Their work helped solve that scary medical mystery.In addition to solving problems, the best scientists get creative when it comes to finding solutions. They don't just follow the usual path - they blaze new trails! Scientists like Albert Einstein and Marie Curie didn't accept old ideas about how the universe works. Instead, their creative and imaginative thinking led to brilliant new theories that revolutionized our understanding of physics, chemistry, and more.But it's not just about coming up with wild ideas out of nowhere. Great scientists also have to be really rigorous in testing their ideas through careful experimentation. They develop hypotheses and then design experiments to check if those possible explanations hold true. Scientists have to be diligent and patient, repeating their experiments over and overagain while controlling all the variables. Sloppy work won't cut it in science!At the same time, excellent scientists remain open-minded rather than getting stuck in their ways. If the evidence from experiments contradicts their original hypotheses, they don't ignore the facts. Rather, they adjust their thinking based on what the data reveals. Stubbornness and closed-mindedness are death for scientific progress.Another key quality is collaboration and communication skills. Although we often think of scientists as lone genius inventors, most actually work together on teams nowadays to tackle big problems. They have to be able to share ideas, listen to others, and combine their diverse expertise. Well-known scientists like Jane Goodall, Stephen Hawking and Neil deGrasse Tyson are all amazing at explaining complex topics in ways that make sense to the rest of us non-scientists.Perhaps most importantly of all, the greatest scientists possess persistence and passion that fuel them to never give up. Science is challenging work filled with frustrations, failed experiments, and wrong turns. But through it all, brilliant scientists like Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall and others kept exploring, no matter how difficult the road became.Their drive to understand the world and find answers outweighed any obstacle. That's the kind of perseverance today's scientists need too.Whether they're uncovering the building blocks of matter, discovering fascinating new species, or launching rockets into space, scientists are real-life explorers and adventurers. But being a great scientist isn't just about making important discoveries. It's also about having qualities like curiosity, observational skills, creativity, rigor, open-mindedness, collaboration abilities, communication talents, and an endless supply of persistence and passion.Those are the kinds of qualities that have allowed scientists throughout history to expand human knowledge and comprehension of our world and universe in amazing ways. By studying their lives and characteristics, we can learn what it truly means to approach the world with a scientific mindset of wonder and diligence. Scientists help make our world a little bit less mysterious every day - and that's an incredible superpower if you ask me!。

不该迷信英文作文

不该迷信英文作文I don't think we should be superstitious. It's just a bunch of nonsense, if you ask me. I mean, come on,believing that walking under a ladder or breaking a mirror brings bad luck? It's all just a load of old wives' tales.Superstitions are nothing but a way for people to try to control things that are beyond their control. It's like they're looking for some kind of explanation for why things happen the way they do. But really, it's just a way for them to feel like they have some kind of power over the unpredictable nature of life.I know some people swear by their superstitions, but I just can't get on board with it. I mean, how can you really believe that carrying a rabbit's foot or wearing a certain piece of jewelry will bring you good luck? It's all just wishful thinking, if you ask me.And don't even get me started on all the superstitionsaround Friday the 13th. People act like it's some kind of cursed day, but really, it's just like any other day. I think it's all just a bunch of hype and hysteria.At the end of the day, I think we should rely on reason and logic, rather than superstition. We should focus on making our own luck through hard work and determination, rather than relying on some silly old superstitions.。
