Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be a simple fact ? Do you argue whether it¡¯s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit ?

If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant£®The first blind man who felt the elephant¡¯s trunk said it was like a snake£®The second who felt the elephant¡¯s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal¡¯s tusk£®The fourth, who had hold of the elephant¡¯s tail insisted that it was like a rope£®The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arm around one the elephant¡¯s legs.

The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant¡¯s ears, said it was like a huge fan.

Each man¡¯s idea of the animal came from his own experience£®So if someone disagrees with you about a ¡°simple fact¡±, it¡¯s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours.

To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a ¡°simple fact¡±, try this simple experiment£®Get three large bowls£®Put ice water in one£®Put hot water in the second£®Put lukewarm water in the third£®Now put your left hand in the ice water£®Put your right hand in the hot water£®After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water£®Your right hand will tell you the water is cold£®Your left hand will tell you it¡¯s hot !

What makes people think about simple facts differently ?

     A£®The fact that simple facts differ from one another

     B£®The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact

     C£®The fact that people often disagree with one another

     D£®The fact that it¡¯s hard to make up one¡¯s mind about simple facts

The writer¡¯s advice is _______________.

     A£®We should never think about simple facts

     B£®We should never judge something with a one-sided view

     C£®We should not agree about simple facts

     D£®We must learn from the six blind men

After reading the last paragraph, we may think of __________.

     A£®Newton¡¯s law                    B£®Galileo¡¯s theory of falling objects

     C£®Einstein¡¯s theory of relativity       D£®Marx¡¯s On Capital (×ʱ¾)

School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, he can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher¡¯s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula by heart. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula(¹«Ê½) in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientist, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn¡¯t get everything from school. But they were all so successful and invented so many things for men. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ1¡¿According to the passage, a good teacher should be one who is to_________.

A£®help his students to gain a good memory.
B£®train his students¡¯ ability to learn
C£®teach his students everything he knows
D£®have his students studying long hours
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ2¡¿ If a student want to learn better, the most important thing for him to do is_______.
A£®to learn all the useful facts and formula by heart
B£®to do everything as his teacher have said in class
C£®to absorb (ÎüÊÕ) as much knowledge from his teacher as possible
D£®to think more while he is studying
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ3¡¿The main reason for the success of the great scientists is that________.
A£®the teachers who had taught them were all experienced.
B£®they used to work and study without a moment¡¯s rest.
C£®they had received more schooling than other people
D£®they know how to study and worked hard
¡¾Ð¡Ìâ4¡¿What¡¯s the good advice the writer gives us?
A£®We can learn better without teachers
B£®We should do more asking and thinking while studying
C£®We should pay enough attention to classroom
D£®Book knowledge is little use

2009 is the year of what? Yes, it is the year of the Ox. But do you know that 2009 is also the year of the telescope? This year the world celebrates the 400th anniversary of Galileo Galilei¡¯s observations of the universe through an astronomical telescope. In 1609, the Italian scientist first pointed a ¡°Dutch perspective glass¡± at the night sky and made discoveries that changed mankind¡¯s conceptions of universe.

In honor of Galileo¡¯s discoveries, the United and the I International Astronomical Union have declared 2009 to be the Inter national year of Astronomy (IYA2009)

IYA2009 is a yearlong celebration of astronomy. Its goal is to spread knowledge of astronomy¡¯s contributions to society and culture and to inspire more interest in astronomy and science, especially among young people. The theme of the celebration is ¡°The Universe, to Discover.¡±

One interesting objective of the IYA is to encourage more diversity in the field of astronomy and physics. IYAS organizers hope that the yearlong celebration of astronomy will inspire more females and underrepresented minorities to purse careers in science. An event that will help further that goal is 100 Hours of Astronomy (100HA) that will fall on April. This event aims to have as many people as possible look through a telescope. From April 2nd to 5th, millions of people worldwide will peer through telescopes to catch their first glimpse of the universe, just as Galileo did 40 years ago. Sidewalk astronomy events will give city-people an excellent opportunity to see the moon, the planet Saturn, and other objects in position for early evening observations.

Organizers hope that the activities of IYAA will ¡°promote a greater appreciation of the astronomy.¡± So join the fun. Look through a telescope this year!
