2023年专四阅读详解与其诅咒黑暗不如燃起蜡烛

星期3 WednesdayBetter to light one candle than to curse the darkness. 与其诅咒黑暗，不如燃起蜡烛。

Text AHalf a dozen radio stations about the face of the globe crackled sparks of electricity from capital and into millions of humble homes; peace came through the air and was simultaneous over all the face of the earth. The great ceremony on the battleship Missouri in Tokyo Bay was anticlimax.The greatest fleet in the world lay amidst the greatest ruins in the world under a dark and cheerless covering of clouds. The USS Iowa was on one side of the Missouri, the USS South Dakota on the other. A tattered flag with thirty-one stars was hung on one of the turrets of the battleship —the flag of the infant republic, which Commodore Perry brought with him to the same bay almost a hundred years before. Above the mainmast fluttered the battle flag of the Union of today. The deck was crowded with the American technicians. There were a Russian with a red band about his cap and a Tass newsreel man who insisted on crawling in among the main actors to get his shots; there was a Canadian general who spoiled his part and signed on the wrong line; there was a carefully tailored Chinese general from Chungking.Half a dozen Japanese were piped over the side of the Missouri, but for the purpose of history and in every man’s memory there were only two —the general, Umezu, and the statesman, Shingemitsu. Umezu was dressed in parade uniform, all his ribbons glistening, and his eyes blank, but you could see the brown pockmarks on his cheeks swelling and falling in emotion.Shingemitsu was dressed in a tall silk hat and a formal morning coat as if he were attending a wedding or a funeral. He had a wooden leg, and he limped along the deck; when he began to climb to the veranda deck where the peace was to be signed, he clutched the ropes and struggled up with infinite pain and discomfort.Shingemitsu and Umezu were brought forward, and, after a few carefully chosen words beautifully spoken by General MacArthur, they signed their names to a document marking an end to the Japanese Empire. When they had signed, the generals and admirals of all the other nations put their signatures to the document, and peace, if peace it was, had come.1. The document was signed on[A] the USS Iowa. [B] the USS South Dakota.[C] the battleship Missouri. [D] didn’t mention.2. In the second paragraph, “A tattered flag with thirty-one stars” is of[A] USS. [B] the infant USA.[C] today’s USA. [D] the greatest fleet.3. When portraying Umezu and Shingemitsu, the author focused on all the following EXCEPT[A] facial expression. [B] appearance.[C] motions. [D] inner activity.4. By saying “and peace, if peace it was, had come”, the author implied that[A] he valued the signature ceremony.[B] he was sure of the peace coming.[C] he suspected that the signature meant the real end of war.[D] he believed the signature ceremony would bring peace.Text BLeft unfettered(无拘无束的), Anthony Konieczka, 9 years old, would happily thumb away at his Game Boy Advance or PlayStation 2 from the minute he gets up to the moment he crawls intobed, 14 bleary-eyed(睡眼惺忪的)hours later.Anthony’s basement is stocked with traditional toys — board games, puzzles, art supplies —and as far as he is concerned, they are relics of Christmases past. His sister Michaely, 6 years old, still likes dressing her Barbies. But once she starts playing Game Boy it’s hard to get her away.Play patterns like this could grab another Christmas for the toy department. Through September, toy sales were down 5% compared with the first nine months of last year, according to the NDP Group. Meanwhile, the video-game industry is heading for another record year. Thanks to hot new games like Halo 2 for the Xbox, the industry is light-years ahead of the toy business when it comes to buzz. With distractions such as instant messaging, cell phone games and iPods angling for kids’ minds and allowances, the digital revolution is making life miserable for the toy industry.While some hard-to-find toys emerge every holiday season, toymakers are heading into this one without a monster hit. Indeed, there has not been a Furby-style frenzy in years. Of 10 toy segments only two, arts and crafts and dolls, have generated sales growth over a recent 12 month period. Some of the weakest categories like construction sets and action figures are the ones aimed at boys, who suffer the most blisters from the video games. Analysts expect one of the top stocking stuffers this season to be not a traditional toy but the new generation of Nintendo’s Game Boy, the DS, which hit stores last week.The deeper issue is that shifts in play patterns are forcing toymakers to fight for shelf space in a tightening market. Boys in particular seem to be abandoning traditional toys at earlier ages in favor of consumer electronics, trendy video games, PC software and the Internet. The notion that kids are growing more sophisticated and tech-savvy (懂技术的), a trend called “age compression”, has bedeviled toy companies for at least a decade. Action figures, for instance, used to be considered healthy for boys up to age 12. Now the items are mainly marketed to boys 4 to 6. A recent study found that nearly half of the U.S children start on video games at 4 to 5 years old —and 20% at age 3 or younger.Toy companies, of course, have long seen this coming. Mattel attempted to get into educational software in the late 1990s, spending $3.6 million to buy the Learning Company. But it turned out to be a blunder and led to more than $400 million in losses. Later on Mattel got back to building basic brands like Barbie and Hot Wheels. But Bar bie’s sales slump may also be a victim of kids growing older at younger ages.Several of the toys expected to sell well this season are, in fact, those that incorporate video gaming and DVD technologies. Mattel’s Fisher-Price introduced a game system called InteracTV this year, featuring DVDs with characters like Dora the explorer. Hasbro came out with a portable color video player called VideoNow and has been putting classic games like Battleship and Yahtzee into hand-held electronic format.5. At the beginning of the passage, the author implies that[A] video games are designed only for boys.[B] girls are usually not interested in video games.[C] both Anthony and Michaely are good at playing PlayStation 2.[D] children would not like to stop playing Game Boy once they start.6. We learn from the passage that in this holiday season[A] it is hard to find traditional toys in the market.[B] toymakers are planning to design monster toys.[C] no hit toys will come onto the market.[D] Furby will become popular among children.7. The sales of construction sets are decreasing because[A] they are not healthy toys for children.[B] they are very weak and easily broken.[C] they are hard to find on shelves of toy stores.[D] they are aimed at boys who are easily attracted by the video games.8. What has been bothering toymakers for almost ten years?[A] The Internet addiction.[B] The trend of age compression.[C] The sales of action figures.[D] The new generation of Game Boy.9. It is predicted that in this season the popular toys would be[A] hot new game Halo 2 for the Xbox.[B] arts and crafts and dolls.[C] action figures designed for boys aged from 4 to 6.[D] toys that integrate video gaming with DVD technologies.Text CSpace is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors(流星) but also because of rays from the Sun and other stars.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space. Doses of radiation are measured in units called “rem”. We all receive radiation here on the Earth from the Sun, f rom cosmic rays and from radioactive minerals. The “normal” dose of radiation that we receive each year is about 100 millirem; it varies according to where you live, and this is a very rough estimate. Scientists have reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than this without being damaged; the figure of 60 rem has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage — a person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of children or even grandchildren.Early space probes showed that radiation varies in different parts of space around the Earth. It also varies in time because, when great spurts of gas shoot out of the Sun, they are accompanied by a lot of extra radiation. Some estimates of the amount of radiation in space, based on various measurements and calculations, are as low as 10 rem per year, while others are as high as 5 remper hour! Mission to the Moon have had to cross the Van Allen belts of high radiation and, during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo 8 crew accumulated a total dose of about 200 millirem per man. It was hoped that there would not be any large solar flares during the times of Apollo moon walks because the walls of the lunar excursion modules (LEMs) were not thick enough to protect the men inside, though the command modules did give reasonable protection. So far, no dangerous doses of radiation have been reported, but the Gemini(双子座)orbits and the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory or in a base on the Moon. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by radiation, but no really effective ones have been found so far. At present, radiation seems to be the greatest physical hazard to space travelers, but it is impossible to say just how serious the hazard will turn out to be in the future.10. What make space a dangerous place?[A] The radioactive meteors.[B] The Sun and other stars.[C] Rays from the earth.[D] Rem.11. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?[A] The “normal” dose of radiation we rec eive is generally accepted as safe.[B] Scientists are certain that 60 rem of radiation won’t damage man.[C] Harm of radiation is not likely to be seen immediately.[D] We don’t know exactly the seriousness of radiation damage.12. Missions to the moon are dangerous to the explorers because[A] they have to cross the high radioactive area.[B] solar flares may damage the LEMs.[C] they have to stay in space for a long time.[D] they will probably run into meteors.13. How will men effectively protect themselves when they spend long periods in space?[A] By taking special drugs.[B] By wearing special suits.[C] By using a protective blanket.[D] No effective solution has been found yet.14. The example of Apollo is to show[A] the Apollo mission was very successful.[B] protection from space radiation is no easy job.[C] astronauts don’t care about radiation damage.[D] radiation is not a threat to well-protected space explorers.15. The best title for this passage would be[A] The Atmosphere and Our Environment[B] Research on Radiation[C] Effects of Space Radiation[D] Important Protection against RadiationText DA simple computer program that teaches children to distinguish between sounds can dramatically boost their listening skills. It can allow them to progress by the equivalent of two years in just a few weeks, the game’s creator claims.The game, called Phonomena, was devised by David Moore of the University of Oxford, U.K., as an aid for children with language problems, but he says his latest trials also show that it can help any child. Other experts, however, are reserving judgment until independent tests are carried out.Phonomena is designed to improve children’s ability to distinguish between differentphonemes(音素), the basic sounds that form the building blocks of language. Up to a fifth of all children are thought to have problems hearing the differences between some sounds, says Moore, who heads the U.K. Medical Research Council’s Institute of Hearing Research.In the game, children have to distinguish between pairs of phonemes such as the “i” sound from the word “bit” and the “e” from “bet”. They are played one phoneme followed by two more examples, and asked which one matches the first sound. As the game progresses, the phonemes are gradual ly “morphed”(改变) to make them more and more similar, making it increasingly difficult to distinguish between them.With 44 phonemes in English, there are potentially more than 1,000 different pairs, but the game concentrates on just 22 pairs of the commonest and most similar-sounding phonemes.In the latest trials, 18 children aged between eight and ten played the game three times a week for four weeks. Their language abilities were compared before and after exposure to the game using a standard listening test.The team found a dramatic improvement in their language abilities, with listening ages up by an average 2.4 years compared with 12 children who did not play the game. In earlier trials on children with learning difficulties, the speech and language therapists who tested the game reported similar improvements.But Ted Wragg, an expert in education at the U.K’s University of Exeter, warns that such trials can produce misleading results. The improvements could be due to the efforts and attention of teachers and therapists, rather than the game itself. There is a history in education of people and companies making claims about learning products that do not stand up to scrutiny, he says.It is a bit like teaching someone to catch a ball, Moore adds. “Sensor y performance is no different from motor performance. As far as we know, the neural processes driving them both are the same.” And just as playing catch improves hand-eye coordination in other tasks, Moore thinks the phoneme training boosts children’s gene ral language skills.The advantage of using computers, he says, is each game can be tailored to a child’s abilities.An oxford-based company called MindWeavers has been set up to commercialize the game.Similar computer0based language tools already exist, such as those developed by Scientific Learning of Oakland, California. But these are geared exclusively towards children with speech and language problems and involve intensive training.“We don’t believe you need to do this Draconian(严酷的) amount of training for it to do good,” says Moore. He is also exploring the use of phoneme training as an aid to adults learning a foreign language.16. At first, the Phonomena game is designed for[A] adults.[B] disabled children.[C] children with language problems.[D] all children.17. We can infer from the passage that in the game[A] one fifth of the children have difficult distinguishing between sounds.[B] children are asked to tell the differences between similar sounds.[C] the phonemes are becoming increasingly difficult to distinguish.[D] 44 phonemes in English are involved.18. In Ted Wrag g’s opinion,[A] the trial results are not reliable and reasonable.[B] the game is helpful to children with language problems.[C] the trial results are accurate.[D] the trial results show that the game is useless.19. What is the advantage of using computers in Phonomena game?[A] It can provide customized service.[B] It can provide multimedia service.[C] Children can play the game at home.[D] It can improve child’s ability.20. What’s the limitation of the existing computer-based language tools?[A] They are designed exclusively for children.[B] They require too much training.[C] They are too harsh.[D] They do nothing good to language skills.语境词汇Text A1. crackle sparks of electricity <喻>通过电波传递2. anticlimax n.令人扫兴的结尾3. tatter v.扯碎，使变破烂：a tattered flag 一面破旧的国旗4.mainmast n.主桅5. pipe v.召集，召唤6. the veranda deck 舰艇上的游廊7. clutch v.抓住，抓紧Text B1. thumb v.以拇指摆弄n. 大拇指2. blister n.水泡，气泡v.使起水泡3. angle v.谋取；垂钓n.角；角度，观点4. hit n.成功的尝试；击中v.打（击）5. frenzy n.狂乱；极度的激动6. trendy a.时髦的，流行的n.新潮人物,穿着时髦的人7. bedevil vt.使苦恼；折磨8. slump n.经济衰退；消沉v.倒下，陷落；下跌Text C1. radiation n.放射，辐射；放射物，放射线2. cosmic n.宇宙的；广大的，无限的3. probe n.太空探测器；探查v.查究，调查4. spurt n.喷射；忽然的加速、增强vi.喷出，涌出5. accumulate v.积累，聚集；增长6. excursion n.郊游，远足，游览Text D1. distinguish vt.＆vi.区分，辨别2. phoneme n.音素，音位2. exposure n.暴露，揭露；曝光，曝光时间3. scrutiny n.细察，详审4. sensory a.知觉的，感觉的，感觉器官的5. tailor vt.使合适，修改n.裁缝6. exclusively ad.仅仅，专门地；排他地，独占地难句突破Text A1.

风可以吹灭蜡烛也可让火更旺英语作文

风可以吹灭蜡烛也可让火更旺英语作文英文回答：Wind, a seemingly innocuous force of nature, possesses the paradoxical ability to extinguish a flickering candle's flame and simultaneously fan the embers of a raging fire into an inferno. This enigmatic duality stems from the complex interplay between the wind's velocity, temperature, and the physical characteristics of the combustible materials involved.When a gentle breeze caresses the slender wick of a candle, it disrupts the laminar flow of air surrounding the flame. This turbulence introduces oxygen-rich air into the reaction zone, intensifying the combustion process and causing the flame to burn brighter. However, as the wind's velocity increases, it overwhelms the candle's feeble stabilizing mechanisms. The flame becomes unstable,flickers erratically, and eventually succumbs to the relentless force of the wind.In stark contrast, a roaring bonfire thrives on the presence of wind. The oxygen-rich air carried by the wind fuels the combustion reaction, providing the necessary ingredients for the fire to burn vigorously. As the fire gains strength, it creates a convective updraft that draws in even more oxygen from the surrounding environment. This positive feedback loop sustains the fire, allowing it to grow ever larger and more intense.The wind's temperature also plays a significant role in its effect on fire. Warm wind, being less dense than cold wind, tends to rise and create updrafts that promote combustion. Cold wind, on the other hand, is denser and tends to sink, smothering fires and preventing them from spreading.The physical characteristics of the combustible materials also influence the wind's effect on fire. Fine, easily combustible materials, such as paper or dry grass, ignite readily in the presence of wind. Heavier, more compact materials, such as logs or coal, require a strongerwind to sustain combustion.In summary, the wind's effect on fire is a complex phenomenon that depends on a multitude of factors,including velocity, temperature, and the physical characteristics of the combustible materials involved.While gentle breezes can extinguish candles, strong winds can fan fires into raging infernos, highlighting the paradoxical nature of this powerful force of nature.中文回答：风可以吹灭蜡烛也可让火更旺。

The soft glow illuminated the room, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere. Time seemed to stand still as I stared at the mesmerizing flame.Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through the window, causing the flame to waver. It fought to stay alive, but ultimately succumbed to the force of the wind. The room plunged into darkness, leaving me momentarily disoriented.In the absence of light, my other senses became heightened. I could hear the faint sound of raindrops against the windowpane, the distant hum of traffic outside, and the gentle rustling of leaves in the wind. The darkness enveloped me, creating a sense of solitude and introspection.As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I realized that there was beauty in the absence of light. The silence andstillness allowed me to reflect on my thoughts and emotions. It was a moment of clarity, a chance to delve into the depths of my mind and explore the intricacies of my soul.Without the distraction of the flickering flame, mymind wandered freely. Memories flooded my thoughts, both happy and sad. I reminisced about moments of joy and laughter, as well as moments of heartache and loss. It wasa bittersweet journey down memory lane, reminding me of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.In the darkness, I found solace. It was a reminder that even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimmer of hope. Just as the flame can be extinguished, it can also be reignited. The darkness served as a catalyst for self-discovery and growth, a reminder that sometimes we need to embrace the unknown in order to find our way.Slowly, the room began to brighten as the first rays of dawn peeked through the window. The darkness receded, replaced by the warm glow of the rising sun. It was asymbolic reminder that after every night, there is a new day, a fresh start.The candle may have been extinguished, but its light still lingered within me. It served as a reminder to embrace the fleeting moments of beauty and to find strength in the face of adversity. Life is a series of moments, some bright and others dark, but it is in the contrast that we find meaning and purpose. So, as the candle burned out, I vowed to carry its light within me, illuminating my path and guiding me towards a brighter future.。

熄灭蜡烛英文作文

熄灭蜡烛英文作文英文：Extinguishing a candle may seem like a simple task, but it can hold a deeper meaning. To me, blowing out a candle represents the end of something. It could be the end of a celebration, the end of a day, or even the end of a life. Each time I blow out a candle, I am reminded of the impermanence of life and the importance of cherishing every moment.In some cultures, blowing out a candle is seen as a way to make a wish. This tradition is often associated with birthday celebrations, where the person blowing out the candles is encouraged to make a wish before extinguishing them. While I don't necessarily believe in the power of wishes, I do appreciate the sentiment behind this tradition. It's a reminder to take a moment to reflect on what we want and to set our intentions for the future.In a more practical sense, extinguishing a candle requires a bit of finesse. If you blow too hard, you can send wax flying everywhere and potentially start a fire. If you blow too softly, the candle may not go out completely and continue to smolder, which can be a fire hazard. It's all about finding the right balance and technique.Overall, there's more to blowing out a candle than meets the eye. Whether it's a reminder of the impermanence of life, an opportunity to make a wish, or simply a practical task, there's always something to be learned from this seemingly mundane act.中文：熄灭蜡烛看起来似乎是一件简单的事情，但它可能具有更深层次的含义。

科学实验蜡烛用玻璃瓶盖熄灭的英语作文

科学实验蜡烛用玻璃瓶盖熄灭的英语作文全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1Science Experiment: Extinguishing a Candle Flame with a Glass JarToday in science class, we did a really cool experiment to learn about oxygen and combustion. Our teacher brought in several small candles and some empty glass jars with lids. He first lit one of the candles and asked us what was happening that allowed the candle to keep burning. A few of my classmates raised their hands and gave the right answer - the candle's wick was reacting with oxygen in the air through a chemical process called combustion.Mr. Wilson nodded and explained that for the candle to keep burning steadily, it needs a constant supply of oxygen from the surrounding air. He said we were going to conduct an experiment to see what happens when you limit the oxygen supply to the candle flame.First, he had us make observations about the burning candle in the open air. We noted the characteristics of the flame - it hada teardrop shape, was orange in color, and produced some smoke from the burned wax. The flame danced and flickered slightly from air currents in the room.Next, Mr. Wilson placed the glass jar upside down over the candle, trapping the flame inside with a limited air supply. Immediately, we saw the flame start to change. At first, it got a little taller as it consumed the oxygen that was already inside the jar. But after about 30 seconds, the flame started getting smaller and dimmer. The orange color started fading to a dullerred-orange shade."What's happening here?" Mr. Wilson asked. "Why is the flame getting weaker?"I raised my hand with the explanation. "Since the jar is closed off from the fresh air supply outside, the flame is using up the limited oxygen that was trapped inside. As oxygen levels drop, combustion can't happen as easily.""Exactly right," Mr. Wilson affirmed. "The candle will go out once all the oxygen is consumed because combustion requires oxygen."We watched for the next couple minutes as the flame shrank down to just a small glowing spot at the end of the wick. Itlooked like it was struggling to stay lit. Suddenly, with almost no warning, the tiny ember winked out, filling the jar with a thin streak of smoke."Wow!" several of my classmates exclaimed. It was really cool to see that right before our eyes."So what does this tell us?" Mr. Wilson asked. "What are the requirements for combustion or burning to occur?"Kevin, who sits next to me, gave the textbook answer: "For combustion to happen, you need fuel, heat, and oxygen.""Very good," Mr. Wilson said. "In this case, the candle wax was the fuel, the lit wick provided the heat to vaporize the wax, but eventually we cut off the oxygen supply by sealed the flame inside the jar. No oxygen meant no more combustion could take place, so the flame went out."He went on to provide some more examples of combustion in our everyday lives - like fires that require oxygen to keep burning, engines that mix air with fuel for combustion to power vehicles, or even the oxygen we breathe reacting with digested food in our bodies to produce energy.For the second half of the experiment, Mr. Wilson had us take the lids off the jars after the flames went out and observewhat happened by slowly lifting off the jars. As soon as the bottoms of the jars opened up to fresh air, we heard a sudden "whoosh!" as the smoke inside was sucked out by a rush of new oxygen flowing in. It was like the jar was "gasping" for air after being sealed."Combustion does require oxygen, but it also produces carbon dioxide as a waste gas," Mr. Wilson explained. "When we put out the candle flame by cutting off its oxygen supply, we trapped this carbon dioxide inside the jar. As soon as I opened it back up to the fresh air, the heavier carbon dioxide was pushed out by a rapid inflow of oxygen-rich air."To wrap up, Mr. Wilson had each of us relight the candle and carefully place the jar over the flame again, but leave the lid off this time. We saw the flame continue burning normally, getting endless oxygen from the room. It reminded me of how fires need a supply of fresh air to keep going.Overall, it was a great experiment to really visualize the concepts of combustion and oxygen requirements. Who knew putting a glass jar over a candle flame could demonstrate such an important scientific principle? I'll definitely remember this activity the next time I'm roasting marshmallows over a campfire. Like the candle, those little flames are consuming oxygen andexpelling carbon dioxide. Science is so cool when you can experience it first-hand!篇2The Candle Extinguishing ExperimentScience class was always my favorite subject in school. I loved the hands-on experiments that allowed us to see scientific principles in action right before our eyes. One experiment that really stuck with me was the candle extinguishing experiment we did to learn about oxygen and combustion.It was a simple setup - just a candle, a glass jar with a lid, and a match. Mrs. Robertson, our science teacher, began by lighting the candle and letting it burn for a minute. "Who can tell me what is happening as the candle is burning?" she asked. Several hands went up, and she called on Michael."The wax is melting and the wick is reacting with oxygen in the air, releasing heat and light through the chemical reaction called combustion," Michael explained."Excellent explanation, Michael," Mrs. Robertson praised. "The combustion of the candle requires a constant supply of oxygen from the air to keep going. Today, we're going to examine what happens when we limit that oxygen supply."She carefully placed the glass jar over the burning candle, putting the lid on top to seal it. At first, nothing seemed to change. The flame continued flickering away inside the jar. But after a minute or so, the flame began growing dimmer and dimmer until finally, with one last flicker, it extinguished completely, leaving a thin wisp of smoke inside the jar."Whoa, what happened?" I wondered aloud, captivated by the simple yet striking demonstration."The candle went out because it ran out of oxygen trapped inside the closed jar," Mrs. Robertson explained. "Combustion requires three things - heat, fuel, and an oxidizing agent like oxygen. When we sealed off the jar's air supply, the candle consumed all the available oxygen inside until there was no more to keep the reaction going."She went on to describe how a candle flame is basically a stream of hot carbon dioxide and water vapor produced by the wax reacting with oxygen. Without that critical oxygen, the reaction can't sustain itself and the flame dies out.I found the directness of the experiment fascinating. Just a jar, a candle, and we could tangibly witness the effects of oxygen deprivation halting the combustion process. It was like the flamewas actually "breathing" the air to keep burning, then suffocated once it used up its limited supply.Mrs. Robertson then had us split into small groups to try the experiment for ourselves. My group cluster around our candle, mesmerized as the flame flickered lower and lower within the confines of the jar until it winked out with that last puff of smoke."This is awesome!" Jake exclaimed. "It's like the candle is actually alive and we're watching it die or something."I had to agree - there was something strangely compelling about seeing that vibrant burning essence blotted out into nothingness as if by magic. The demonstration really brought home how critical oxygen is for combustion in a clear, visceral way.After we'd all had a turn doing the experiment, Mrs. Robertson had us hypothesize about other potential applications of this phenomenon in a classroom discussion. Several students pointed out that it explained why fire extinguishers work by coating fires with substances like carbon dioxide to displace oxygen. Others mentioned how candles and fires can be easily smothered by cutting off their air supply.I raised my hand and posited that the same principle could help explain why lives are lost in household fires when people get trapped in enclosed spaces with limited oxygen due to smoke inhalation. Mrs. Robertson agreed, telling us that asphyxiation from oxygen starvation is a major cause of fatalities in fires, along with carbon monoxide poisoning from the incomplete combustion in oxygen-starved environments.My mind kept going, wondering if the experiment illuminated why controlled burns are used in forest management - by carefully restricting the oxygen flow like we did with the jar, fires can be constrained and curtailed once the available fuel is consumed. Mrs. Robertson affirmed this line of thinking as well when I voiced it.After class, I kept mulling over the incredible simplicity yet significance of the candle experiment. From illuminating the basic components of combustion to modeling the dangers of asphyxiation to demonstrating sustainable forestry techniques, that one little flame flickering out in a jar somehow bridged the gap between abstract concepts and tangible reality for me.I realized science is all about recognizing the fundamental patterns and processes that shape our daily lives, then finding clever ways to isolate and study those systems throughintentional experiments and models. The candle extinguishing experiment accomplished this brilliantly by reducing the combustion process to its essence - a simple reaction between fuel and oxygen that produces heat and light.By methodically removing one ingredient from that recipe, we could witness firsthand how the reaction stalled and broke down in a strikingly visual way. What seemed like an unremarkable act of smothering a candle flame suddenly became a profound explorative lens into the nature of fire, breathing, forest ecology, and more.That's the true power of science in action - taking the familiar and often overlooked patterns and processes we experience every day and redesigning them into insightful experimental setups that let us perceive those phenomena with fresh clarity and understanding. From the sweeping movements of celestial bodies to the minute biochemical reactions within cells, science is all about revealing the hidden, fundamental principles that make our universe tick through careful observation, questioning, and creative model-building.The candle extinguishing experiment opened my eyes to how even decidedly unassuming setups can become elegant windows into pivotal scientific truths when approached with theright framing, reasoning, and attention to detail. As we disconnected that fateful flame from the oxygen it craved, an entire world of mechanisms involving combustion, respiration, ecology, chemistry, physics, and more was suddenly illuminated for me in those simple, smoky aftershocks.I'll never look at a snuffed-out candle the same way again. Those contained yet profound demonstrations have become emblematic of the transformative perspective science grants when coupled with curiosity, mindfulness, and a drive to explain the world around us in an engaging, empirical manner. It was a humble yet formative example of how finding creative ways to sculpt familiar phenomena into focused experimental lenses can help unlock penetrating new scientific insights.After this experience, I came away more excited than ever to continue exploring my passion for science. Who knows what other everyday occurrences might contain profound scientific lessons, just waiting to be uncovered by an inquisitive mind and carefully constrained conditions? The candle may be out, but that childlike spark of wonder has been reignited in me thanks to one simple, illuminating experiment.篇3The Candle Flame Experiment: A Scientific JourneyAs a curious student with a passion for unraveling the mysteries of the natural world, I recently had the opportunity to participate in a fascinating scientific experiment that left me in awe of the intricate phenomena that govern our universe. The objective was deceptively simple: to extinguish the flame of a candle using nothing more than a glass jar lid. However, as I soon discovered, this seemingly straightforward task concealed a wealth of scientific principles that challenged my understanding and ignited my thirst for knowledge.Equipped with a sense of wonder and a notebook to chronicle my observations, I eagerly set up the experiment. A pristine white candle stood erect on the table, its wick patiently awaiting the spark that would bring it to life. Beside it rested an ordinary glass jar lid, an unassuming object that would soon play a pivotal role in our exploration.With a careful strike of a match, the candle's flame flickered to life, casting a warm glow across the room. Instantly, my senses were captivated by the dance of the flickering light and the gentle hiss of the burning wax. It was a mesmerizing sight, but one that belied the complex chemical processes occurring before my very eyes.As I watched the flame, I couldn't help but ponder the intricate interplay of elements that sustained its existence. Oxygen from the air, I knew, was essential for the combustion process, fueling the rapid oxidation of the wax and releasing energy in the form of heat and light. It was a delicate balance, a symphony of chemical reactions that had sustained humanity's mastery of fire for countless millennia.With a sense of anticipation, I carefully positioned the glass jar lid over the candle, enclosing the flame within its transparent confines. At first, the flame seemed unperturbed, continuing its hypnotic dance as before. However, as the seconds ticked by, I observed a subtle change. The flame began to waver, its vibrant hues becoming ever so slightly muted.Perplexed, I leaned in closer, my eyes fixated on the unfolding spectacle. Gradually, the flame grew smaller, its once proud flicker reduced to a feeble tremor. It was as if the very life force that sustained it was being siphoned away, a slow and inexorable process that left me both captivated and bewildered.Finally, with a last faint flicker, the flame succumbed to the invisible forces at play, extinguishing itself and leaving a trail of wispy smoke in its wake. The sudden absence of light and heatwas jarring, as if a vital part of the world had been snuffed out, leaving behind an eerie silence.It was at this moment that the true significance of the experiment began to dawn on me. The glass jar lid, far from being a mere container, had played a crucial role in the flame's demise. By enclosing the candle within its confines, it had effectively cut off the supply of fresh oxygen, depriving the flame of the。

熄灭别人的灯不能照亮自己作文

熄灭别人的灯不能照亮自己作文英文回答：Extinguishing the lights of others does not illuminate our own. This adage serves as a timeless reminder that malicious acts or attempts to diminish the achievements of others ultimately prove detrimental to both oneself and society as a whole.Envy and a desire for superiority can lead individuals to engage in acts of sabotage or smear campaigns. However, the perceived gain from such actions is often short-lived and outweighed by the long-term consequences. When we focus on undermining others, we waste precious time and energy that could be better spent on personal growth and development.Furthermore, extinguishing the light of others creates a cycle of negativity and division. It breeds resentment and hostility, eroding the bonds of trust and cooperationthat are essential for a thriving society. By fostering a culture of competition and envy, we create an environment where individuals feel compelled to tear each other down rather than lift each other up.In contrast, when we recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of others, we inspire them to continue striving for excellence. We create a positive feedback loop that benefits everyone. By acknowledging the contributions of others, we demonstrate humility and grace, which in turn attracts respect and admiration.Moreover, a focus on positivity and collaboration fosters innovation and creativity. When we work together and share our knowledge, we are able to achieve far greater things than we could ever accomplish alone. By extinguishing the lights of others, we limit our own potential and stifle the progress of society.In conclusion, the adage "Extinguishing the lights of others does not illuminate our own" holds profound truth. When we engage in malicious acts or attempt to diminish theachievements of others, we ultimately harm ourselves and undermine the fabric of our society. True success and fulfillment are found in embracing positivity, recognizing the accomplishments of others, and fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual respect.中文回答：熄灭别人的灯不能照亮自己。
