When you learn that Jim Abbott played in the Olympics,and pitched (投.) a no-hitter,it might come as a surprise to hear that Abbott W?s bom without a fully formed right hand.

Abbott never complained about his disability,instead,he took it as a challenge. Perhaps life wasn’t easy or fair,but he decided to make the best of it.

He was cut from the freshman basketball team,and after he made the freshman baseball team,he went an entire season without ? hit. Despite these setbacks,he never gave up.

By the time Abbott went to college,he could throw a baseball almost 90 miles per hour. His team,the Michigan Wolverines,won two league champion-ships (联赛冠军) while he was pitching for it.

Abbott played on the United States’ gold-medal winning baseball team there.

After four seasons with the California Angels,Abbott was traded to the New York Yankees. He was upset that he wasn’t playing well,but he wasn’t about to give up. Instead,he continued playing with determination,and in 1993,he pitched a no-hitter for the Yankees. The opposing team,the Cleveland Indians,got no hits and scored only one run.

If you drop a feather and a hammer ( 铁锤） , which do you think will hit the ground first?

On his last moon walk in 1971,Apollo 15's Commander David Scott did his final 21 for the television cameras. Scott was re-creating an experiment 22 by the astronomer Galileo in 1590.

If you guess that the 23 would hit the ground first,you' re not alone. When Galileo was a boy,everyone 24 that heavier things fell faster. A rock twice as heavy as a potato should fall twice as fast. That's what they 25 in school.

But Galileo wasn’ t so 26 . So he decided to 27 it. He dropped balls of different 28 from towers and timed how long they took to get to the ground. And he discovered 29 amazing — dropped things fall at the same rate,no matter how 30 they are.

Why? Falling objects fall 31 the pull of gravity between the object and Earth. And the tremendous (巨大的) force of Earth's gravity is the same whether it's 32 on a feather or a hammer.

But wait,you say — feathers do fall more 33 than hammers. That's quite true,on Earth — but the 34 is air,not gravity. Air pushes against light feathers enough to hold them up,but it isn't 35 enough to hold up a heavy hammer. This pushing of air 36 people for a long time.

The moon has no 37 to slow a falling object. But it does have gravity. The moon's gravity is 38than Earth's,since the,moon is smaller. But it's still strong enough for dropping things.

And sure enough,when Scott let the hammer and the feather drop,they hit the ground 一 exactly 39.

“Galileo was 40 in his findings/' Scott broadcast. .

learning how to see Words

Each time we see the familiar or same thing,we should see something new.

In high school,I had a teacher who made me aware of this concept,although it took many years before I appreciated it fully.

One day,Mrs. Lambert,my English teacher,brought in several baskets filled with all kinds of stuff. Each of us took something and wrote a composition about it for homework. The next day,the baskets reappeared,and we were instructed to select the same object. This time we had to write a composition about the object without repeating anything from the first one.

Over the next few days the same thing happened,with each day bringing an increasing sense of (失意) as we tried to see something new in a familiar object. I will never forget the last piece I wrote about my blue and white Delft fisher boy. After struggling to find something different to say,I got inspired to write a poem. It allowed me to see beyond the porcelain ( figure and into the 從sence (本质) of the character. Mrs. Lambert had shown me how to use my own eyes and creativity to see what I otherwise would have looked at and dismissed.

Fifty years later,as I remember Mrs. Lambert,I wonder,are schools today showing kids how to use their own eyes to see beyond the superficial and into the essence of things? This,I believe,is the most important lesson a child can take into adulthood.

True (T) or False (F) :

1. Mrs. Lambert used to give her students too much homework.()

2. It can be inferred from the text that the author is thankful to Mrs. Lambert. ()
