What was remarkable about 2005 was perhaps that the UN declared it "The World Year of Physics". It was the 100th anniversary of Einstein's theory of relativity and the 50th anniversary of his death. In 1905 Einstein published five highly important essays in the history of science, thus revolutionizing physics. His great achievements can be credited to his impressive powers of imagination, constant questioning, and not giving a fig for authority. It is beyond doubt that Einstein was the greatest scientist in the 20th century.。

美国梦对不同的人有着不同的含义。

但对许多人,尤其是对移民而言,它意味着改善自己生活的机会。

对于他们,美国梦的含义就是才能与勤劳能让你从小木屋走向白宫。

托尼·特里韦索诺并没有爬那么高,但他成功地使自己的梦想成真。

托尼·特里韦索诺的美国梦弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德他来自意大利罗马以南某地的一个遍地是石头的农庄。

他什么时候以及怎么到美国的,我不清楚。

不过,有天晚上,我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。

他身高五英尺七、八左右,人很瘦。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。

我问他叫什么名字。

“托尼·特里韦索诺,”他回答说。

“我割你的草坪。

”我对托尼讲,本人雇不起园丁。

“我割你的草坪,”他又说道,随后便走开了。

我走进屋子,心里有点不快。

没错,眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过,可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢?等我第二天晚上下班回到家,草坪已修整过了,花园除了草,人行道也清扫过了。

我便问太太是怎么回事。

“有个人把割草机从车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来,”她回答说。

“我还以为是你雇他来的。

”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。

我俩都觉得奇怪,他怎么没提出要工钱。

接下来的两天挺忙,我把托尼的事给忘了。

我们在尽力重整业务,要让一部分工人回厂里来。

但在星期五,回家略微早了些,我又在车库后面看到了托尼。

我对他干的活夸奖了几句。

“我割你的草坪,”他说。

我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪,就这样托尼每天轻扫院子,有什么零活,他都干了。

我太太说,但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的,他挺派得上用场。

夏去秋来,凉风阵阵。

“克罗先生,块下雪了,”有天晚上托尼跟我说。

“等冬天到了,你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。

”啊,对这种执着与期盼,你又能怎样呢?自然,托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。

几个月过去了。

我让人事部门送上一份报告。

他们说托尼干得挺棒。

一天我在车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。

“我想当学徒,”他说。

string n. — 1) a series of related or similar events Examples — 2) (a) narrow cord used to tie, fasten, etc.
• The curious boy asked a string of questions.
Reference:
Infertile people who cannot have babies otherwise, people suffering fatal diseases, and some religious people seeking immortality.
2. For what reasons do most governments prohibit cloning?

Passage A
• Think Abou About It
• Write About It
1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
And it’s not just Antinori and his team who are eager to go. A religious group called the Raelians believes cloning is the key to achieving immortality, and it, too, claims to have the necessary egg donors and volunteers willing to be implanted with cloned embryos. So what about tougher laws? Implanting cloned human embryos is already illegal in many countries but it will never be prohibited everywhere. In any case, the prohibition of cloning is more likely to drive it underground than stamp it out. Secrecy is already a problem. Antinori and his team are refusing to name the country they’ll be using as their base. Like it or not, the research is going ahead. Sooner or later we are going to have to decide whether regulation is safer than prohibition.

1. What kind of people are in favor of carrying on with the cloning science?
Reference:
Most governments prohibit cloning mainly because it is against nature and causes ethical problems. Besides, the failure rate of cloning is very high.
miracle n. — an unusual and mysterious event that cannot be explained by the laws of nature Examples
• The Great Wall is a miracle of architecture.
• A car ran over the child, but by a miracle, he was unhurt.
But only when the science is ready. And that’s the real problem. Five years on from Dolly, the science of cloning is still stuck in the dark ages. The failure rate is a shocking 97 percent and deformed babies all too common. Even when cloning works, nobody understands why. So forget the complex moral arguments. To begin cloning people now, before even the most basic questions have been answered, is simply a waste of time and energy. This is not to say that Antinori will fail, only that if he succeeds it is likely to be at an unacceptably high price. Hundreds of eggs and embryos will be wasted and lots of women will go through difficult pregnancies resulting in miscarriages or abortions. A few years from now techniques will have improved and the wasteful loss won’t be as excessive. But right now there seems to be little anyone can do to keep the cloners at bay.

全新版大学英语综合教程2第四单元答案网络科技的发展,使得网络交流成了流行。

全新版大学英语2的第四单元课文讲的就是关于网络聊天的内容。

下面是课文翻译和课后答案,欢迎阅读!Unit 4★ Text A迈亚.塞拉维茨曾是电视制片人,目前从事写作。

她在本文中探索了数字化世界及其后果。

与此同时,她将数字化世界与真实世界做了比较,承认电子空间自有其魅力。

虚拟世界的生活迈亚?塞拉维茨在网上呆了太久,听到电话铃声也会吓一大跳。

显示屏上看多了我男朋友那些一目了然的文字,他的利物浦口音一下子变得难以听懂;而秘书的清脆快速的语调听上去比我想象的要生硬。

时间本身变得捉摸不定——几小时变成几分钟,或几秒钟延伸为几天。

周末原本是我一周的黄金时段,现在却不过是平平常常的两天。

在我不再当电视制片人的这三年间,我的大部分工作都是在家里使用计算机终端进行的。

我通过电子邮件投稿和校订,利用互联网上的人名地址与同行交流。

我男朋友住在英国,因此两人的关系也在很大程度上借助于电脑维系。

我要是愿意的话,可以一连几个星期不出门而什么也不缺。

我可以在网上订购食品、网上理财、网上恋爱、网上工作。

事实上我有时独自呆在家里长达三个星期,只偶尔出去拿信、买报纸及日用品。

1996年那一场接一场的暴风雪我大都是在电视上看到的。

然而,一段时间之后,生活本身就显得不那么真实了。

我开始觉得自己似乎与机器融为一体了,我接收信息,再发送出去,就如同互联网的一个连接点。

其他上网的'人也谈到了同样的症状。

我们开始厌恶外面的社交方式。

我们的状况成了批评互联网的人们最害怕见到的一幕。

一下床就上机,不再为发型、服饰、面部化妆烦心,起初看似高级的享受如今却成为一种对生活的逃避,一种缺乏自律的表现。

你一旦开始用网络交际取代人与人的真实接触,要走出这种穴居状态就会相当困难。

我发现自己变得比以前怯生、谨慎、焦虑。

或者,反过来,当我突然面对现实中活生生的人时,会变得过于兴奋,说个不停,爱打断别人的讲话。
