Lets find out by meeting Louis Pasteur. Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in a little town in France. As he grew up, he loved to paint. He loved to look at the world around him. When he went to college in Paris, he showed interest in looking through a microscope. A microscope makes things look a lot bigger, it lets you see things you cant see just with your eyes. Looking through a microscope, Pasteur found a living world in a drop of water. He saw and drew pictures of the small living things-he called them “microbes” or “germs” -that crowded in a drop of water. One day a winemaker came into the lab, hoping that someone could help him with his problem. “Sometimes my wine tastes delicious, but sometimes terrible,” he said to Pasteur. “Can you help me find out why?”Pasteur put some drops of the wine under the microscope. He noticed that the terrible wine had some unusual germs. If he killed these germs, maybe he could keep the wine from turning terrible. He tried with different ways to kill the germs. In the end he found heating（加热）the wine seemed to work best. The winemaker tried it, and every bottle of wine tasted good. Pasteurs idea worked for other people, too. When farmers heated milk, it didnt turn bad so quickly. Beer is heated, it tasted better. People called it “pasteurization” - heating a liquid to kill bad germs. Arent you glad that the milk you drink has been pasteurized?31. The Chinese meaning for the word “microbes” is _.A病毒 B真菌 C支原体 D微生物32.

Dad and I would go to Bernies place. Wed sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal. Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then wed bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heartthe reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free partand throw away the rest. Bernie was my fathers idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful businessman. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernies wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you dont take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy lifes small pleasure, your work is probably hurting your life.
