Science, as we think, was born when the Greek(希腊) philosopher ( 哲学家 ) Thales ( about 640-546 B.C.) asked a difficult question: What makes up our universe?
No one had a ready answer, so Thales went on studying the earth around him, the sky and the stars. He saw so much water on earth and so much water falling from the sky as rain that he decided water must be the basic substance ( 物质 ) of the universe.
Other Greek thinkers became interested in this question. They suggested other answers. One said that because air lies around the earth, it must be air that makes up all things. Another said that fire, appearing in different forms, was the building block of the universe.
The Greek philosophers were feeling their way towards the ideas on which chemistry is based. Centuries later, scientists proved that the universe is made up of certain basic substances. But the list is much more complicated than the Greeks realized. We now know of 103 basic substances which we call “ elements ( 元素 )”.

A. 94 years old B. 106years old
C. 40 years old D. 46 years old

A. not difficult B. not simple
C. not famous D. not different

C. water falling from the sky D. air lying all around the earth

A. nothing ever changes in the universe
B. Thales decided that the basic substance of the universe was air
C. the universe is made up of four different substances

Dear Wang Mei,
I’m sorry to hear about your problem. Don’t be too concerning about it. Now I’d like to give you some advice. Firstly, you may have the heart-to-heart talk with your roommates. Perhaps they will realize their mistakes or correct them. Secondly, if you find hard to have a good talk with them, you may write a letter about them. Lastly, if these ways don’t work, you’d better to report it to your teacher, whom will help solve the problem. Good communication is the key to deal with the relationship with others. Maybe someday you should become good friends. I hope my advice will be of greatly help to you.
Best wishes!
Yours,

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取)to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia.

Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another woman doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children.

Jack Evans quarreled with his neighbour，Ellen Brown. Mrs. Brown had a dog. Jack did not like dogs. He wanted Mrs. Brown to give away or sell her dog，but she refused.
“I'll take you to court if you don't，” he said.

“Good. I want to take my neighbour to court. However, I will pay for your advice only if you think I will win the case in court.”?
The lawyer was not pleased by this suggestion. However, he had very little work. Here was a chance to get some.?
“All right，” he said. “I agree. I will listen to your problem. I will give you honest advice. You will pay me only if I think you can win in court.”?
Jack told him about the problem. The lawyer listened carefully. Sometimes he made notes. When Jack finished, the lawyer sat back in his chair and said, “You will win your case. I have no doubt about it. May I take your case to court?”
Jack stood up and walked towards the door. “No, thank you,” he said. “I will not take it to court.”?
“What about my fee?” the lawyer asked. “You have to keep your promise.”
