Not surprisingly, it was a scientist at the California Institute of Technology, Charles F. Richter, who invented the Richter scale used to measure earthquakes. Seismic activity in California is being constantly monitored and mapped. Seismometers register thousands of small earthquakes every year, and computers instantly calculate the location, depth, and magnitude of an earthquake. Laser distance-ranging networks can detect changes of length, indicating change in crustal stress, accurate to about half an inch in 20 miles. Satellite measurements of crustal blocks are improving, and California seismologists believe they may in time be precise enough to allow earthquake prediction.2.Just as blacks are victimized by racism, women suffer from the sexism of American society. Sexism is the ideology that one sex is superior to the other. The term is generally used to refer to male prejudice and discrimination against women. In Chapter 9 it was noted that blacks can suffer from both individual acts of racism and institutional discrimination. Institutional discrimination was defined as the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals or groups which results from the normal operations of a society. In the same sense, women can be said to suffer both from individual acts of sexism (such as sexist remarks and acts of violence) and from institutional sexism.3.Economists have devoted much effort to finding ways of stabilizing the economy. We even have an act of Congressthe Employment Act of 1946which states that the federal government has the responsibility to promote maximum employment, production, and purchasing power. Reading these words in the 1970s and 1980s you will certainly be aware that our economists and our government havent solved the problem of providing jobs and goods at stable prices. You probably know people who have been unemployed for long periods of timeperhaps even to the point of thinking that they will never find jobs again. Youve also seen the prices of goods you buy increase faster than the money to pay for them. And youve heard TV newscasters say things like, This has been one of the auto industrys worst years. Sales of new cars were 2 million less than in 1972.4.The study of prehistoric humans is, of necessity, the study of their fossil remains. To begin to understand who our ancestors were and what they were like, we must be able to interpret the fragments of them that are coming to the surface in increasing numbers. Given fairly reliable methods to determine their age, we can now turn with more confidence to primate fossils for an answer to the all-important question: How do we tell monkeys, apes, and humans apart? For present-day species this is no problem; all have evolved sufficiently so that they no longer resemble one another. But since they all have a common ancestor, the farther back we go in time, the more similar their fossils begin to look. There finally comes a point when they are indistinguishable. The construction of a primate fossil family tree is essential if we are ever going to discover the line of descent from early hominid to modern human.5. Like Edith, many geniuses have been deliberately subjected to a very stimulating environment. A well-known example is Norbert Wiener, a prime mover in the development of computers and cybernetics. He entered college at 11 and received his Ph. D. from Harvard at 18. According to his father, he was essentially an average Beethoven, were subjected to rigorous daily training by their parents. Since 1945 a large number of ordinary children have been brought to the famous Japanese music teacher Shinichi Suzuki and he has successfully trained every one of themwithout exceptionto, be an excellent string musician. Nature may draw the outline of our traits and potential abilities, but that outline is broad and vague. Nurture appears both to determine the actual boundaries and to fill in the details. 没有主题句 1.Speculation about the earths crust has special edge of urgency in California, which sits on the San Andress fault, the worlds most famous and respected fracture zone.
