Unit4爱因斯坦是外星人么艾伯特爱因斯坦被搞得筋疲力尽.连续第三个晚上，他的宝贝儿子汉斯，哭泣，让家人清醒直到黎明。
当艾伯特终于睡着了是时候起床去工作。
他不能跳过一天。
他需要工作来养活家人。
他轻快地走到专利局，在那里他是一个“技术专家，第三级，”艾伯特担心他的母亲。
她越来越虚弱，她不赞成他与米列娃结婚，关系紧张。
艾伯特看了一眼路过商店的橱窗。
他的头发是一个烂摊子；他忘了梳一遍。
工作。
家庭。
使收支平衡。
艾伯特感受到任何年轻的丈夫和父亲所有的压力和责任的。
放松，他彻底改变了物理学。
1905年，在年龄26时，四年前他找到了工作作为一个物理学教授，爱因斯坦出版了五个最重要的论文在科学史”——所有在他的空余时间写的。
”他证明了原子和分子的存在。
1905年之前，科学家们不清楚那些。
他认为光是小块（后来被称为“光子”），从而奠定了量子力的学基础，。
他描述了他的狭义相对论理论：空间和时间是同一个织物的线，他提出那是可弯曲，拉伸和扭曲的。
哦，顺便说一句，E = mc2。
在爱因斯坦之前，最后一个有这样突出创意的科学家，是艾萨克牛顿先生。
它发生在1666时，牛顿隔离自己母亲的农场去避免爆发在剑桥的瘟疫。
没有什么更好的事，他提出了他的万有引力。
几个世纪以来,历史学家称为1666牛顿的“奇迹年。
现在这些话有不同的意义:爱因斯坦和1905。
联合国已经宣布2005年“世界物理年“庆祝爱因斯坦“奇迹年的100周年。
现代流行文化吧爱因斯坦画一个bushy-haired superthinker。
我们被告之他的想法，是不可能远远领先于其他科学家。
他一定是从其他星球来的——也许是牛顿长大的同一个星球。
“爱因斯坦不是外星人，”哈佛大学物理学家和科学史家彼得笑到。
“他是他那个时代的人。
”他所有的1905年的文件揭开问题正在被其他科学家研究，成败参半，“如果爱因斯坦没有出生的，[文件]将最终由他人以某种形式写出来”Galison说。
1905年值得注意的是，一个人撰写的五个文件的全部，加上原有的，爱因斯坦以不敬的方式得到自己的结论。

1.The Campers at Kitty Hawk在这篇文章中，John Dos Passos运用散文和诗歌两种文学形式，讲述了莱特兄弟制造的世界上第一架飞机，这是人类历史上最重要的里程碑之一。
他还描述了杰出的莱特兄弟的生活，他们去kitty Hawk 不是为了野营，而是去完成一个听起来不可能的事情。
1903年12月17日,住在俄亥俄州代顿市霍桑街一幢木头房子里的兄弟联合会主教、曾任《宗教嘹望》报编辑的莱特先生收到了他的儿子威尔伯和奥维尔发来的电报。
他们两个突发奇想, 去北卡罗来纳州海岸沙丘上的一个小宿营地度假,给自己匆忙赶制的滑翔机做一些修补。
电文：周四早成功四次飞行，在21mile/hour 从水平面起飞，仅靠引擎力量启动，平均31mile/hour 最长57秒。
数字有点出入，因为电报员误读了奥维夫的潦字。
但事实并没改变，来自dayton，俄亥俄州的两个单车修理工设计，建造，并试飞了一架真正的飞机。
电机预热几分钟后，我松了拉住飞机在跑道的绳，飞机迎风冲去。
韦伯扶着机翼跑以保持机身的平衡，以免跑出跑道。
不像14号那天，今天电机平静的向前稳行，直面27M/H的风。
韦伯一直扶着它直到它跑了40英尺后起飞。
一个救命的摄影师拍下了它离地两英尺的一幕。
它当时刚飞到跑道尾部，飞行过程上下摇摆既不稳定，归因于空气的不平稳和驾驭经验的不足。
一个猛扎结束了它120英尺的飞行旅程。
它飞了12秒，但这是人类飞行史上第一次带人的，全程自力飞行的，过程没有减速的，且最后落点与起点等高的飞行。
晚些时候飞机遇上阵风，打了个翻，撞个粉碎，差点杀了那想把它拉下来的海防巡警。
这很不幸，但兄弟俩太高兴了，并不在意。
他们证明了那该死的东西能飞。
当所有这些尘埃落定，我们马上打包行李回家，因为我们知道飞行器时代已经到来。
他们返回家乡过圣诞。
他们的家乡位于俄亥俄州的Dayton。
他们70年代出生于此。
他们家从1840年就搬到这阿巴拉契亚山脉西面。

走读生过着一种矛盾的生活，他去学校是为了能体会一种自我探}ll}索的生 活，而实际上与父母在一起是绝对无法保持“我独立的。
你也许认为我们这些人住在家中、 每天往返学校的日子很惬意。
不用等洗衣机，牙膏用完了橱拒里有新的，更重要的是，冰箱 里塞满了食物，也不用自己付款。
不仅如此，通常还有人付电话费，即使再晚，微波炉里也 还热着食物。
你会嗤之以弃—那不是大学生活，那只是永远长不大的孩子。
也许表面上看起 来我们像被惯坏了的孩子， 但事情远没有那么简单。
住在家里的大学生过着一种矛盾的生活。
跟你们一样，我们来到大学探索自我;自我探索和有机化学一样是我们所受教育的一部分。
然而，鉴于父母监督子女的本能不会减弱，我们要保持自我独立可就不容易了。
再者，家庭 的责任也在所难免。
比方说，当父母的结婚周年纪念日正好在我们期末考试的前一天，我们 该怎么办?事实上，做一个无法脱离家庭约束的学生简直与努力跟一个你不喜欢的室友相处 一样困难。
我们的问题很复杂。
在一定程度上，我们是这个社会的二等公民。
由于你不得不 开车回家或赶最后一班车， 你很难享受俱乐部、 大学生联谊会和舞会的乐趣。
同样不幸的是， 你意识到你不能参加仅有一次的商法复习课，因为它结束得太晚。
但这还不是问题的关健: 毕竟，每个人都可以随时在朋友的宿舍里借宿。
’真正的问题在于，我们错过了那些活动， 错过了由此产生的一种友好的情嗦，这种情嗦来自于一同突击恶补工业心理学的漫漫长夜， 来自于谁跟谁上了床的瞎扯闲铆， 来自于关于 “乔治· 威尔” “亲爱的艾比” 和 的热门话题， 以及在这之后彼此对于毕业临近的真切感受的交流。

尘封的情书（Unit 4）我对姑祖母史提菲娜·鲁斯向来心存敬畏。
事实上，我们小时候显然都很畏惧她。
她不跟家里人住一起，情愿孤零零一个人住在乡间的小屋里，也不愿住在舒适但有些喧闹的家里---我们长大的地方，这一点更是增强了我们对她原本就有的敬畏之情。
她从来不拥抱我们。
只是打个招呼，然后用她那美丽却冰凉的手牵着我们热乎乎的小手，她手背上青筋突起，似乎要撑破那脆弱的皮肤。
随着年事渐长，我惊奇地发现，居然对这位冷漠的姑祖母产生了十足的好感。
直到今天，我依然不知道当时出于什么莫名的冲动，竟让带着乔治去见她，还告诉她我们订婚的事，当然之前我可任何人都没告诉过。
让我感到意外的是，她十分的欣喜。
“是英国人啊，”她惊呼。
“真是太棒了，太棒了。
你，”她转向乔治，“你要在这里安家吗？不打算再回英国了吗？”听到乔治已在我们农场附近也购置一个农场，准备定居在南非时，她似乎松了口气，变得欢快起来，和乔治拉闲聊起来。
她对我的爱情还是忧心忡忡，总问一些看似奇怪的问题，隐约觉得她似乎在担心会有什么破坏这桩婚姻的事情发生。
让我猝不及防的是，当我向她提起乔治考虑在结婚前临时返回英国一趟时，她突然情绪失控。
“绝不能让他回去，”她喊道。
“伊娜，你千万不能让他回去。
答应我一定要阻止他。
”她浑身发抖。
我使出浑身解数来安慰她，她看起来还是那么疲惫、脸色苍白。
我说服她回房间休息，答应明天回来看她。
第二天再来时，看到她坐在屋前的门廊上。
她显得如此孤独和悲凉，那是我第一次感到疑惑，为何没有男人愿意娶她，照顾她，爱怜她呢。
母亲曾告诉过我，姑祖母年轻时出落得楚楚动人，现如今除了那双褐色的眸子还残留着曾经的风韵外，昔日的美貌早已不见了踪影。
尽管如此，她还是那么娇小玲珑、惹人爱怜，凡是男人见了，都难免心生怜香惜玉之情。
她欲言又止，似乎不知从何说起。
接着她仿佛又在心底振作了起来。
“你肯定在纳闷，”她说，“为什么我听说乔治要离开你回英国会很难过。
我老了，或许老了就会胡思乱想，可我必须告诉你我的爱情故事，听完后你再来决定让未婚夫在结婚前离开究竟是不是个明智之举。

Unit 41.Directions: Read the following passages, and then select the best choice for each ofthe questions or incomplete statements.Passage 1There are stock markets in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock market, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell the shares of a factory of company. And each share means part ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to the stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing （投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling (赌博). All are eager to make money by “gambling” in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to “gamble.” Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.(Words: 244)1. The following people go to the stock market EXPCEPT those whoA) want to become richerB) want to get rid of povertyC) want to save moneyD) want to find jobs2. Which of the following statements is true?A) A good investor can affect the change in stock prices.B) A good investor can tell exactly when the stock goes up or down.C) A good investor will sometimes lose money.D) A good investor knows how to choose a company which does a good job.3. In the passage the writer .A) encourage people to go to the stock marketB) assures people that buying stock is a good investmentC) warns people to be careful in buying stocksD) explains how stock goes up when factories or companies run well4. The word “ complex” in the last sentence probably means .A) completeB) strangeC) difficultD) modern5. The passage mainly tells us aboutA) the ABCs of stock marketsB) gambling in stock marketsC) how to make money in stock marketsD) how to buy or sell shares in stock marketsPassage 2She is widely seen as proof that good looks can last forever. But, at nearly 500 years of age, time is catching up with the Mona Lisa.The health of the famous picture, painted by Leonardo da Vinci in 1505, is getting worse by the year, according to the Louvre Museum where it is housed.“The thin, wooden pan el on which the Mona Lisa is painted in oil has changed shape since experts checked it two years ago.” The museum said. Visitors have noticed changes but repairing the world’s most famous painting is not easy. Experts are not sure about the materials the Italian artist used and their present chemical state.Nearly six million people go to see the Mona Lisa every year, many attracted by the mystery of her smile. “It is very interesting that when you’re not looking at her, she seems to be smiling, and then yo u look at her and she stops,” said Professor Margaret Livingstone of Harvard University. “It’s because direct vision （视觉）is excellent at picking up detail, but less suited to looking at shadows. Da Vinci painted the smile in shadows.”Da Vinci himself loved it so much that he always carried it with him, until it was eventually sold to France’s King Francis I in 1519.During World War II, French hid the painting in small towns to keep it out of the hands of German forces.Like many old ladies, the Mona Lisa has some interesting stories to tell.(Words: 247)1.In the first paragraph, “catching up with” meansA)coming up with behindB)having effect onC)making up forD)getting along with2.It is difficult to repair this painting due to itsA)painting materialsB)wooden panelC)long historyD)good name3.Mona Lisa is smiling you lookA)at herB)from the corners of your eyesC)into the shadowsD)for details4.Para. 4 is mainly aboutA)the history of the Mona LisaB)the condition of the Mona LisaC)the secret of Mona Lisa’s smileD)the secret of Mona Lisa’s beauty5.During World War II the famous painting was inA)ItalyB)FranceC)BritainD)GermanyII. Directions:Read the following passages, and then fill in the blanks with the missing information.Passage 3Body language is one of the best ways to find out what is really going on inside someone’s head.A small movement of the mouth or nose, or a wink of the eye—these actions can say much more about a person’s feeling than anything they say to you.But you need to be very experienced to fully understand what you see. Here are some basic movements made by Westerners and explanations of what they mean to get you started.Pat （轻拍）/rub(摩擦)one’s stomach. If someone rubs his or her stomach, he is not feeling sick. It is the opposite—he is hungry.Shrug（耸）one’s shoulders. This means “I don’t know” or “I am not bothered.” If your friend shrugs his or her shoulders when invited to a party, it shows he or she is not very interested in going along to it.Keep one’s fingers crossed. It is a gesture to wish for good luck. Before people take exams, they often cross their fingers in the hope of getting good grades. Football fans do the same thing when their favorite team gets an advantage from a penalty(点球)—they wish the players will score a goal.Rub one’s chin. If someone rubs his or her chin, it often means he or she doesn’t believe what someone else is saying! So if your friend makes this gesture, it secretly tells you what he or she feels.Scratch (挠)one’s head. If your foreign English teacher scratches his or her head when you ask a question, then he or she is confused and might not have understood what you have said. Either that, or he or she can’t remember your name!(Words: 277)1. We can know more about a person’s feelings by .2. When a Westerner rubs his or her stomach, it means .3. When taking exams, Westerners may cross their fingers to .4. If your friends rub their chin, it may mean that .5. “To scratch one’s head” suggests the person doesn’t understand your words or.Passage 4If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then stalk off without paying your fare. And the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dinning rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guest, but also cater to outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to wine and dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages.” But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would invariably come back to pay their fare after they have attended their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, so to live in such a society has turned ev eryone into real “gentlemen”.(Words: 311)1. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first .2. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if.3. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland.4.

Directions: Read the following passages, and then decide whether the statements are true (T) or false (F)Passage 5“Fire! Fire!” What terrible words to hear when one wakes up in a strange house in the middle of the night! It was a large, old, wooden house and my room was on the top floor. I jumped out of bed, opened the door and stepped out into the passage. It was full of thick smoke.I began to run. But as I was still only half-awake, instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction. The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window. But before I could reach it, one of my feet was caught in something soft and I fell down. The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes, and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat. Just then the floor gave way under me and I fell to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.I saw a flaming doorway in front, and I put the bundle over my face and ran. My feet were burning terribly, but I got through. As I reached the cold air outside, my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry. I nearly dropped it in surprise. Then is saw a crowd gathered in the street. A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man’s coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.“My baby! My baby!” she cried. The crowed cheered wildly as she took the smoke-blackened bundle out of my arms. I had saved her baby. I was a hero!(Words: 277)( ) 1.

It can be learned from the passage that I became a hero by chance.Passage 6It seems you always forget—your reading glasses when you are rushing to work, your coat when you are going to the cleaners, your credit card when you are shopping. Such absent-mindedness may be frustrating to you. Now British and German scientists are developing memory glasses that record everything the user sees. The glasses can play back memories later to help the wearer remember things they have forgotten such as where they left their keys. And the glasses also allow the user to “label(贴标签于，标注)” items so information can be used later on.The wearer could walk around an office or a factory identifying certain items by pointing at them. Objects indicated( 指出)are then given a blank label on a screen inside the glasses that the user then fills in.It could be used in industrial plants by mechanics looking to identify machine parts or by electricians writing a complicated device. A spokesman for the project said: “A car mechanic, for example, could find at a glance where a part on a certain car model is wrong so that it can be identified and repaired.” For the motorist, the system can highlight(使显著)dangers on the road.In other cases, the glasses can be worn by people going on a guided tour, indicating points of interest; or they can be worn by people looking at panoramas where all the sites can be identified.(Words: 231) ( ) 1. An absent-minded person is easy to forget.( ) 2. Memory glasses can remind users of what they have forgotten.( ) 3. If you are wearing the memory glasses, it means you have a bad memory. ( ) 4.

UNIT 13 Fighting Fire with Fire这个春天，吉姆·布伦纳将会带领几百个男男女女一起燃烧超过两百万英亩的佛罗里达的松树林。
看到这些树吗？嘶！他们烤焦了。
看到那些香蒲芦苇丛吗？正在咝咝地响！他们是历史遗留下来的。
那些腐烂的圆木呢？噼啪响！不见了。
布罗纳是一个纵火狂吗？实际上，他恰巧相反：他作为佛罗里达的消防管理员，布伦纳一直在跟火灾战斗。
但是为什么佛罗里达的顶级消防队员会焚烧森林呢？布伦纳是相信以火攻火的人数越来越多的土地管理者之一。
通过开始他们自己小心的控制大火——一个叫做规定火烧的练习，他们希望结束像上个夏天毁坏了五十万英亩的佛罗里达森林的森林大火灾。
布伦纳还记得说：“那是一个人间地狱。
假如我们有做更多的规定火烧，我们将可以大幅度的降低那次森林火灾的损害。
”佛罗里达不是唯一一个在最近几年因为大火儿上了头条的地方。
墨西哥，巴西以及印度尼西亚都曾经遭受过他们自己的灾难性的火灾。
我们是不是处在易燃的新时代的边缘？科学家警告说全球变暖（温室气体例如二氧化碳引起的行星加热）到2070 年可能提升地球温度5°F。
根据世界气象局的记录，在1998 年地球表面的平均温度是最高的。
一个正在逐渐变暖的行星意味着越来越低的干旱，将导致植被死亡和更有可能的越来越热。
美国森林官员是怎样对付这个紧迫的威胁的？规定火烧曾经得到火生态学家（研究火生态的科学家）的广泛认可。
他们也相信在凉爽的潮湿的天启让光亮的火燃烧可以减少失控的火的风险。
而且消防技术在1970 年代第一次试验是基于频繁的小火减少毁灭性的事件的风险的理论，就像上个夏天，当保持着生态系统良好的情况下的佛罗里达的森林火灾。
在1988 年黄石国家公园那场由闪电引发并由林业员们同意使其燃烧的大火的肆虐之后，公众情绪反对“任其燃烧”和指定式的燃烧行为。
现在，能够助燃无可控制的火苗的不断增加的森林残骸重新激发了人们在这些消防管理策略上的兴趣。

近一半的country 's population now lives in suburbs, up from a quarter in 1950 and a third in 1960.国家的人口现在住在郊区的四分之一,而在1950年,三分之一在1960年创立的。
The third century of American history is shaping up as the suburban century. Until 1920 most 第三世纪的美国历史是塑造成郊区的世纪。
直到1920年最Americans lived in rural areas. By 1960 the country was a third urban, a third rural, and a美国人都生活在乡下。
1960年第三个国家的城市,三分之一的农村,third suburban. That balance didn't last long, however. By 1990 the urban population had第三郊区。
这种平衡没有延续很久,不过了。
到1990年城市人口slipped to 31 percent and the rural population was down to less than a quarter. We are now a 滑落至31%和农村人口是到不到一刻钟。
目前我们为suburban nation with an urban fringe and a rural fringe.郊区市镇边缘的国家与乡村刘海。
