The history and use of the umbrellaBArchimedes(阿基米德) is considered one of the three greatest mathematicians（数学家） of all time along with Newton and Gauss. In his own time, he was known as “the wise one”. He was one of the last great Greek mathematicians. Except for his studies at Euclids school, he spent his whole life in his birthplace. Archimedes proved to be a master at mathematics and spent most of his time trying to solve any new problems. Sometimes he was so involved in his work that he forgot to eat. Lacking the blackboards and paper of modern times, he used any possible material to write on, from the dust on the ground to ashes(灰烬) from a fire that had burned out. He never gave up any opportunity（机会） to think carefully about his work. Archimedes was a friend of Hiero, the king of Syracuse, and Gelon, Hieros son. He liked to solve the kings most difficult problems to the amazement of the king. At one time, the king ordered a gold crown(王冠) and gave the goldsmith(金匠) the exact amount of metal to make it. When Hiero received it, the crown had the correct weight, but the king doubted that some silver(银)had been used instead of the gold. Since he could not prove it, he brought the problem to Archimedes. One day while considering the question, “the wise one” entered his bathtub(浴缸) and recognized that the amount of water that overflowed(溢出) the tub was proportional（相称的） the amount of his body that was submerged. This idea gave him the means to solve the problem. This observation is now known as Archimedes Principle. Archimedes another famous statement is “Give me a place to stand on and I will move the earth.”61. According to the passage, Archimedes _. A. was followed by many great Greek mathematiciansB. was good at thinking and hardworkingC. could draw his geometric(几何的)figures on paperD. was a great mathematician for a time 62.

A. when he drawing the geometric figures B. when he was doing mathematic problems C. when he was playing with the king D. when he was bathing in his bathtubA. Let others read your writings , and ask them to circle misspelled words .B. Youre trying to build up the motor memory of writing it correctly spelled .C. The only way to really learn a word is to use it , and that counts（有价值） for spelling as much as for learning its meaning.D.
