大学英语精读第四册 Unit9 The Education of a Physicist
Idly watching fish swimming in a pond and allowing the mind to wander can lead to some surprising result.Unit 9 The Education of a PhysicistTwo incidents from my childhood greatly enriched my understanding of the world and sent me on a course to become a theoretical physicist.I remember that my parents would sometimes take me to visit the famous Japanese Tea Garden in San Francisco. One of my happiest childhood memories is of crouching next to the pond, fascinated by the brilliantly colored carp swimming slowly beneath the water lilies In these quiet moments, I felt free to let my imagination wander; I would ask myself silly questions that only a child might ask, such as how the crap in that pond would view the world around them. I thought, What a strange world theirs must be!Living their entire lives in the shallow pond, the carp would believe that their “universe”consisted of the dark water and the lilies. Spending most of their time moving around for food on the bottom of the pond, they would be only dimly aware that an alien world could exist above the surface. The nature of my world was beyond their comprehension I was intrigued that I could sit only a few inches from the carp, yet be separated from them by a very huge gap. The carp and I spent our lives in two distinct universes, never entering each other’s world, yet were separated by only the thinnest barrier, the water’s surface.I once imagined that there may be carp “scientists” living among the fish. They would, I thought laugh at any fish who proposed that a parallel world could exist just above the lilies. To a carp “scientist”, the only things that were real were what the fish could see or touch. The pond was everything. An unseen world beyond the pond made no scientific sense.Once I was caught in a rainstorm. I notice that the pond’s surface was bombarded by thousands of tiny raindrops. The pond’s surface became turbulent, and the water lilies were being pushed in all directions by water waves. Taking shelter from the wind and the rain, I wondered how all this appeared to the carp. To them, the water lilies would appear to be moving around by themselves, without anything pushing them. Sine the water they lived in would be appear invisible, much like the air and space around us, they would be baffled that the water lilies could move around by themselves.Their scientists,” I imagined, would make up a clever invention called a “force” in order to hide their ignorance. Unable to comprehend that there could be waves on the unseen surface, they would conclude that lilies could move without being touch because a mysterious invisible entity called a force acted between them. The might give this illusion impressive, lofty names (such as action – at-a-distance, or the ability of the lilies to move without anything touching them).Once I imagined what would happen if I reached down and lifted one of the carp “scientists” out of the pond. Before I threw him back into the water ,he might struggle furiously as I examined him. I wondered how this would appear to the rest of carp. To them, it would be a truly unsettling event. They would first notice that one of their “scientists” had disappeared from their universe. Simply vanished, without leaving a trace. Wherever they would look, there would be no evidence of the missing carp in their universe. Then, seconds later, when I thew him back into pond, the “scientist” would abruptly reappear out of nowhere. To the other carp, it would appear that a miracle had happened.After col lecting his wits, the “scientist” would tell a truly amazing story. “Without warning,” he would see, “I was somehow lifted out of the universe (the pond) and hurled into a mysteriousworld, with blinding lights and strangely shaped objects that I had never seen before . The strangest of all was the creature who held me prisoner, who did not resemble a fish in the slightest.I was shocked to see that it had no fins whatsoever, but nevertheless could move without them. It struck me that the familiar laws of nature no longer applied in this other world. Then, just as suddenly, I found myself thrown back into our universe.”(This story of course, of a journey beyond the universe would be so fantastic that most of the carp would dismiss it as utter nonsense.)I often think that we are like the carp swimming contentedly in that pond. We live out our lives in our own “ pond ” confident that our universe consist of only those things we can see or touch. Like the carp, our universe consist of only the familiar and the visible. We smugly refuse to admit that parallel universes or dimensions can exist next to ours, just beyond our grasp. If our scientists invent concepts like forces, it is only because they cannot visualize the invisible vibrations that fill the empty space around us.A second incident from my childhood also made a deep, lasting impression on me. When I was 8 years old, I heard a story that would stay with me for the rest of my life. I remember my schoolteachers telling the class about a great scientist who had just died. They talked about him with great reverence, calling him one of the greatest scientists in all history. They said that very few people could understand his ideas, but that his discoveries changed the entire world and everything around us. I didn’t understand much of what they were trying to tell us, but what most intrigued me about this man was that he died before he could complete his greatest discovery. They said he spent years on this theory, but died with his unfinished papers still sitting on his desk.I was fascinated by the story. To a child, this was a great mystery. What was his unfinished work? What was in those papers on his desk? What problem could possible be so difficult and so important that such a great scientist would dedicate years of his life to its pursuit? Curious, I decide to learn all I could about Albert Einstein and his unfinished theory.I still have warm memories of spending many quite hours reading every book I could find about this great man and his theories. When I exhausted the books in our local library, I began to visit libraries and bookstores across the city, eagerly searching for more clues. I soon learned that the unfinished papers on Einstein’s desk were attempt to construct what he called the unified theory, a theory that could explain all the laws of nature, from the tiniest atom to the largest galaxy. However, being a child, I didn’t understand that perhaps there was a link between the carp swimming in the tea Garden and the unfinished paper lying on Einstein’s desk. I didn’t understand that higher dimensions might be the key to solving the unified field theory.Nevertheless I could see that this story was far more exciting than any murder mystery and more important than anything I could ever imagine. I decided that that I would try to get to the root of this mystery, even if I had to become a theoretical physicist to do it.。

paraphrase1，I have been studying the traits and……the result humiliating to me.Paraphrase : I have been studying the characteristics of the so-called “ lower-animals “ in comparison with those of man. The result of this study makes me, as a man, feel terribly ashamed.2，For it obliges me to renounce my allegiance……from the Higher Animals.Paraphrase : Because the result of my study forces me to give up / to abandon my loyalty to / firm belief in Darwin’s theory of evolution and to change the theory of the Ascent of Man from the Lower Animals to the theory of the Descent of Man from the Higher Animals.3，In proceeding toward this unpleasant conclusion……the scientific method.Paraphrase : In coming to this unhappy conclusion I have not just guessed, but have used the so-called scientific method.4，That is to say, I have subjected every postulate……test of actual experiment……. Paraphrase : In other words, I have put every theory or hypothesis I can think of to the decisive test of actual experiment…5，It also seemed to suggest that ……a good deal in the transition.Paraphrase : It also seemed to show that the earl came from the anaconda and had lost a lot of anaconda ‘s good qualities in the process of changing from the anaconda to the earl.6，I was aware that many men who have accumulated……appease that appetite. Paraphrase : I knew that many men who have more money than they can ever use have shown a mad desire to get more, and they have not hesitated to cheat poor people and steal their few savings in order to satisfy that desire.7，…among the animals man is the only one……unknown to the higher animals. Paraphrase : …among the animals man is the only one that remembers insu lts and injuries, thinks about them for a long time, waits until a chance comes up and then takes revenge.8，In this matter man occupies a far lower place than the rooter.Paraphrase : As far as ethics or morality is concerned ,man is inferior to or worse than the cock.9，Cats are loose in their morals,……the saving grace which excuses the cat.Paraphrase : Cats are immoral, but they do not know it. They just can’t hel p it. Man has inherited cats’ looseness , but not their innocence, which excuses the cat for its low morals.10，these are strictly confined to man : he invented them.Paraphrase : These are only man’s problems. They are limited to man. They only happen to man.11，Man is “The Animal that laughs.”……that is called the laughing jackass.Paraphrase : People say that man is the animal that laughs. So what ? The monkey can laugh too according to Darwin. So can an Australian bird.12，No--- Man is the Animal that Blushes. ……---or has occasion to.Paraphrase : No, man is not the only animal that laughs, but it is true that man is the animal that blushes. He is the only animal that does it or has the need to.13，Man --- when he is King John , with a nephew……he uses a red-hot iron.Paraphrase : In the case of King John who wanted to get rid of his nephew he used a red-hot iron to torture him….14，He is the only one that inflicts pain for the pleasure of doing it.Paraphrase : He is the only one that enjoys causing pain / Only man can be sadistic.15，The higher animals engage in individual fights,……the atrocity of atrocities, War. Paraphrase : The higher animals fight as individuals, but unlike man, they never fight wars16，There is not an acre of ground on the globe that is in possession of its rightful owner…Paraphrase : Not a single piece of land is in the hands of its original owner. Every piece of land has been stolen.17，…and in the intervals between campaigns ……”the universal brotherhood of man”--- with his mouth.Paraphrase : … and when they are not fighting each other, they will start talking about peace and universal brotherhood, but without any sincerity. Man, according to MarkTwain , is not only cruel and warlike, but also hypocritical.18，He is the only animal that loves his neighbor……if his theology is not straight. Paraphrase : He is the only animal that talks about loving his neighbors, but only when they have the same religion. Otherwise he will kill them.19，He has made a graveyard of the globe……his brother’s path to happiness and heaven. Paraphrase : In trying to make it easy for his brother to find happiness and to go to Heaven, he has turned the world into a graveyard20，And we are told that they are going……It seems questionable taste.Paraphrase : And we are told that they will not be allowed to go to the next world (Heaven ). I wonder why ？It seems to show poor taste to leave out the higher animals and allow only human beings to go to Heaven.21，Man is the Reasoning Animal. Such is the claim. I think it is open to dispute.Paraphrase : Human beings say that they are the only animals who have reasoning power / who can think.

No one was left alive. There was only bloody odds and ends of turbans and plaids and bones and flesh.24，These Reasoning Animals had disagreed on……carried the matter to a Higher Court. Paraphrase : These so-called reasoning animals had a quarrel over a minor point in theology and had decided to go to Heaven ( to kill each other ) to ask God to settle the matter.25，the long highway of perfect innocence :Paraphrase : the long process of our change from one insect into another, one animal into another and one reptile into another, all completely innocent, until we become human beings and lose all our innocence.。

大学英语精读：第四册UNIT9
In 1976, during America's bicetennial celebration, a family decided to travel to the American West instead of joining the majority of people that were celebrating on the East Coast. They wanted to follow the trails that the pioneers had made when they began to settle the West. The family was looking forward to making their own discoveries.JOURNEY WESTJim Doherty We began our trip out West on June 19, 1976, a time when millions of other American families were preparing to crowd into the Bicentennial shrines of the East. We sized up America's 200th birthday celebration a bit differently. Although the Republic may have been born in the East, it had spent most of its time and energies since then moving west. So we resolved to head in the same direction in 1976, following the old pioneer trails and the famous rivers. Concentrating primarily on Wyoming and Montana, we would explore such legendary mountain ranges as the Big Horns, the Bitterroots and the Swan. There was one problem though, I was sure our four kids —— educated about the West through the movies —— would be disappointed. As an environmental editor, I knew that strip mining was tearing up many scenic areas and that clear-cutting was causing widespread damage in the mountains. I was well aware that draining and damming were making a mess of many rivers and wetlands. The grasslands were overgrazed and coal-burning power were befouling the air. Wildlife was on the run everywhere and tourists were burning the national parks into slums. I was prepared for the worst. But how to prepare the kids? The answer, we decided, was to undertake our journey not just as tourists on a holiday, but as reporters on the trail of "the real West." So all of us, from my kids to my wife, pledged to do our homework before we left and to record on the way everything we did, saw, hear, felt or thought. Predictably, we did not uncover any new truths about the West in three short weeks. But there were plenty of surprises on that 5,200-mile journey and the biggest one was this: I had been wrong. Some of the troubles we saw were every bit as bad as I had dreaded. But by and large, the country was as glorious, as vast and as overwhelmingly spectacular as those know-nothing kids had expected! Half the fun of going west is discovering, along the way, how much the past is still with us. Old wives' tales. Little old farm towns shaded from the summer heat by enormous maple trees on streets. White-haired folks reading the paper on their farmhouse porches at sunset. Worn-out windmills standing alone in pasture… All in all, we did not see much evidence that small-town America is vanishing as we traveled through rural Wisconsin, Minnesota and South Dakota. It's true that many new homes are rising in many old cornfields. But for the most part, life in vast areas of the American heartland remains pretty much the same as it was 30 and 40 years ago. In the hilly farmlands of southern Wisconsin and Minnesota, we found the fields and forests green and the creeks still flowing. The farms, with their "eggs for sale" signs and enormous "grandma's gardens" in the front yards, looked prosperous and secure. Not much further north, though, a drought was threatening the land. In South Dakota, the situation was far worse. "Haven't seen anything like this since the dirty thirties," one farmer told us. Even in normal times, most of South Dakota is dry. Now it was being burned to a crisp. The water holes were dried up and we saw dead cattle lying here and there on the treeless, rolling range. Some farmers were hauling water out to their thirsty stock daily; others were trying to drill deep wells. We saw two distinctly different Wyomings. We crossed the first Wyoming between the Black Hills and the Big Horns. Wide-open grassland, fenced and colorless, with red rocks and sweet-smelling shrubs scattered about, it was typical of a hard-used land. Cattle grazed on it. Oil rigs pumped on it and power lines zigzagged all over it. Freight trains labored across it, hauling coal from strip mine to power plant, hauling uranium and other minerals to refineries. This Wyoming, clearly, was booming. The other Wyoming started some miles east of Buffalo, an unexpectedly graceful community in the foothills of the Big Horns. On one side of town, antelope abounded by fours and fives in the hills, and yellow wild flowers lined the roads. On the other side rose the Big Horns and nearly 10,000 feet up, Powder River Pass cut through them. The Big Horn canons were incredible, with four and five distinct layers of pine trees somehow clinging to the steep, rocky walls. Far, far below, Ten Sleep Creek was a thin, white torrent on the rampage. In some of the less wild terrain, we saw deer on the high green hillsides and, as we climbed up toward our picnic spot, we flushed two does and two fawns. That night, we fell asleep with the roar of Ten Sleep in our ears. We had picked by chance for our stopping place an area rich in western lore. At one time, Ten Sleep —— a small village at the western base of the Big Horns —— lay midway between two great Indian camps. In those days, the Indians measured distances by the number of sleeps and the halfway mark between those two camps was exactly ten sleeps. We crossed the Continental Divide for the first time on a cool morning, cutting through the Rockies in northwestern Wyoming at a place called Togwatee Pass （at a height of 9,656 feet）. Our van had just leveled off and we were rounding a downhill bend when, all at once, there they were, stretched out before us in a spectacular procession of massive white peaks: the Tetons. My wife gasped and, behind us, the kids began to yell. In truth, it was a startling sight—— a sight none of us will ever forget. We had seen mountains before, but we had never experienced anything even remotely like that initial impact of the Tetons. It was exactly what we had in mind when we decided to take our first trip "out West."。

现代大学英语精读4课后答案（外语教学出版社）Lesson One Thinking as a HobbyAnswers:I. I have concluded that there were three grades of thinking since I was a child, while myself could not think at all. The subject of thinking was first brought up to me by my headmaster, in whose study I was shown the statuettes of Venus, leopard and the Thinker, which stands for love, nature and pure thought respectively. I was demanded to learn thinking there. People like Mr. Houghten provided me the image of Grade-three thinking, which is often full of unconscious prejudice, ignorance and hypocrisy. The grade-two thinker tends to find the deficiencies of the others, and may enjoy moments of delight, but it does not make for personal security. A still higher grade of thought demands people set out to find the truth and get it .Though these grade-one thinkers were few, I aspired to become one of them and devised a coherent moral and logical system for living. I stood to lose a great deal for my determination, but finally I dropped my hobby and turned professional in that.II.1 . C2 . C3 . D4 . D5 . C6 .B7 .C 8. D 9 .D 10. D 11. B 12 .D 13 .D 14 .B 15 .

With growing flows of trade and capital investment there is the possibility of moving beyond an inter-national economy. Each member of the world community becomes more and more integrated and inter-dependent. Globalization also refers to a process of removing government-imposed restrictions on movements between countriesin order to create an open, borderless world economy.Of course, Globalization, to a large extent, ensured that China’s economy would develop in a balanced way by keeping pace with the world economy. Increased globalization has brought the world vast investment space in China and thus boosted China’s eco nomic growth. What the globalization brought to us is both opportunity and challenge.will affect my future career too. With the development of economic globalization and international communication, English becomes more and more important .The fast pace of globalization presents huge opportunities for those who participate proactively in this internationalization process.

In the co ntext of today’s globalization, their roles are particularly important. Whether a business will succeed or how successful a business will be depends on them to a certain extent.

The Power of Perseverance: Overcoming Challenges in the Pursuit of DreamsIn the journey of life, we are constantly faced with various challenges and difficulties. It is these challenges that shape our character and determine our destiny. The ninth unit of Modern College English Intensive Reading 4, Second Edition, explores the theme of perseverance and how it enables us to overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams. Perseverance is the steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. It is a quality that is honed through hard work, dedication, and unwavering commitment to a goal. As the saying goes, "No pain, no gain." Only through perseverance can we transform our dreams into reality.One of the most striking examples of perseverance is Thomas Edison's journey in inventing the light bulb. He faced numerous failures and setbacks, but he never gave up. Instead, he persevered and ultimately succeeded in inventing a device that revolutionized lighting and changed the world. His story teaches us that success is not final,failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.Similarly, in our daily lives, we encounter numerous challenges that test our perseverance. Whether it is overcoming academic difficulties, pursuing a professional career, or achieving personal goals, perseverance is the key to success. It is the driving force that keeps us going when the odds are stacked against us.However, perseverance does not mean stubbornly sticking to one path regardless of obstacles. It also involves adapting to changes, learning from failures, and finding new ways to overcome difficulties. This flexibility combined with determination is what makes perseverancetruly powerful.Moreover, perseverance is not just about achieving our goals; it is also about the journey we take to get there. The process of persevering teaches us resilience, patience, and the importance of hard work. It helps us grow as individuals and develop a stronger sense of self-belief and confidence.In conclusion, perseverance is an essential qualitythat enables us to overcome challenges and achieve our dreams. It is the driving force that keeps us going when faced with difficulties and setbacks. By persevering, wenot only achieve our goals but also grow as individuals and develop a stronger sense of self-belief and confidence. Let us embrace the power of perseverance and use it totransform our dreams into reality.**毅力的力量：在追梦路上克服挑战**在人生的旅途中，我们不断面临各种挑战和困难。
