13、ead the examination problem: “Showhow it is possible to determine the height of a tall buildingwith the aid of a barometer（ 气压计）. ” The student had answered: “Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length o

14、f the rope. The length of it is the height of thebuilding. ”The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn t confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some kno

15、wledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and d ashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top ofthe building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula （公式） to calculate the height of th

16、e building. ”At this point, mycolleague had to accept it, and then the student madealmost full marks. I couldn t help asking the studen t what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added“Probably the best is to take thebarometer to the administrator and said to him, Sir, here is a

17、fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.” Th,enI asked the student if he really did not know the conventional answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to thi

18、nk. The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.21.

22、ey and the host is there to offer help and advice as well as to take an interest in your physical and mental health.Accommodation ZonesHomestays are located in London mainly in Zones 2, 3 and 4 of the transport system. Most hosts do not live in the town centre as much of central London is commercial

23、 and not residential. Zones 3 and 4 often offer larger accommodation in a less crowded area. It is very convenient to travel in London by underground.Meal Plans Available? Continental Breakfast? Breakfast and Dinner? Breakfast, Packed Lunch and DinnerIt s importan t to note that few English families

24、 still provide a traditional cooked breakfast. Your accommodation includes Continental Breakfast which normally consists of fruit juice, cereal （ 谷物类食品 ）, bread and tea or coffee.

25、 or fish with vegetables followed by dessert, fruit and coffee.FriendsIf you wish to invite a friend over to visit, you must first ask your host s permission. You have no right to entertain friends in a family home as some families feel it is an invasion of their privacy.Self-Catering Accommodation

30、lf full? Do you believe that every cloud has a silverli ning and that things gen erally turn out forthe best? Do you believe that if someth ing is meant to be, it will be? If you reply“yes” to all of these questi ons, the n you are an optimist. You probably are en thusiastic, cheerful and outgo ing.

31、 You may be successful at work and in love.But you may be misguided because things don t turn out for the best. You may believe that whe n one door closes ano ther one ope ns (for example, you may fail to obtai n a new job; ano ther cha nee will come around soon). Wrong.When one door closes, another

32、 door slams (砰然关上)in your face. That s bitter reality.Nowa book has bee n published which con firms what pessimists （悲观者）have suspected all along. It s called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism. Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results.Defen sive pessimism is a

33、strategy used to man age fear, an xiety and worry. Defen sive pessimists prepare for the things by sett ing low outcomes for themselves. They carefully con sider everyth ing that may go wrong and pla n for ways to han dle these problems. And this gives them a sense of con trol. Lawre nee Sanno, a ps

34、ycholog y professor, says,“ What s in teresti ng aboutdefensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people, so their low opinion of the situation s outcomes is not realistic. They use it to motivate themselves to perform better. ”So far, so good. This is not rocket scienee. Defensive

35、pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong, whether at work, on date or even in a sports game. It makessense to have a back-up plan. There are manysayings in English urging caution. For example,“Don t put all your eggs in onebasket. ” And “Don t count your chickens until they hatc

36、h.” To have acon fide nt and optimistic approach to life s problems is good.

40、ghter is one of the nature s great treatments for a whole range of mental and physical diseases, it is still a serious scientific subject that researchers are trying to figure out.“Laughter above all else is a social thing, ” says Baltimore neuroscientist, Robert Provine, who has studied laughter fo

41、r decades. “All laughter groups laugh ha-ha- ha basically the sameway. Whether you speak Mandarin, French or English, everyone will understand laughter. There is a pattern generator( 发生器) in our brain that produces this sound.”Laughing is our first way of communicating. Babies laugh long before they

42、 speak. No one teaches them how to laugh. They just do. People may laugh at a prank（ 恶作剧） on April Fools day. But surprisingly, only 10 to 15 percent of laughter is the result of someonemaking a joke. Laughter is mostly about social responses rather to a joke. Deaf people laugh without hearing and p

43、eople on cell phones laugh without seeing, showing that laughter isntdependent on single sense but on social interactions.And laughter is not just a people thing.

44、hology professor, studies rats that laugh when he tickles them. It turns out rats love to be tickled they return again and again to the hands of researchers tickling them.By studying rats, scientists can figure out whats going on in the brain during laughter. Northwestern University biomedical engin

45、eering professor, Jeffrey Burgdorf has found that laughter in rats produces a chemical that acts as an antidepressant（ 抗抑郁药 ）. He thinks the same thing probably happens in humans, too. This would give doctors a new chemical target to develop drugs that can fight depression.Even so, laughter itself h

46、as not been proved to be the best medicine, experts said. Margaret Stuber, a professor at University of California, studied whether laugher helped patients. She found that distraction（分心）and mood improvement helped, but she could not find a benefit of laughter alone.“No study has shown that laughter

47、 produces a direct health benefit, Provine said, largely because its hard to separate laughter from justfeeling good. But he thinks it doesnt really matter: “Isnt the fact that laughter feels good whe n you do it eno ugh?33. The most important finding of Robert Provine s research is that .A. laughte

48、r makes a pers on feel goodB. laughter depe nds on differe nt sen sesC. rats like to be tickled very muchD. laughter is a social resp onse shared by all creatures34.

The system translates visual images from a camera into complex soun ds. _37 The program is based on the theory that people can hear certa in sounds and learn to tran slate them in to meanin gful men tal images. Everythi ng has its own unique sound. 38 The height of an object or pe

53、rs on could be determined by pitch（ 音调）. And a built-in colour identifier speaks out colour names when it is turned on. What the vOICe users had to learn is which sound went with which object. Meijer says that he is counting on the brain sability to adapt.39 Within two weeks, most people whoexperime

54、nt with the vOICe system are able to ide ntify objects such as walls and doors. They are also able to identify certain situations, including whether the lights in a room are on or off. 40 Meijer thinks that translatingwilleventuallybecomeautomatic for many users of the vOICe, bringing a form of visi
