　　A successful scientist is generally a good observer．He makes full 　　1　　 of the facts he observes．He doesn't accept ideas which are not 　　2　　 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority(权威)as the only 　　3　　 for truth．He always 　　4　　 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them．

　　The rise of 　　5　　 science may be considered to 　　6　　 as far back as the 　　7　　 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher(哲学家)of Oxford, who lived 　　8　　 the years 1214 and 1292．He was probably the first in the middle 　　9　　 to suggest that we must learn science 　　10　　 observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself 　　11　　 many important discoveries．

　　Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later, was the greatest of several great man, 　　12　　 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 　　13　　 to show how many important 　　14　　 could be discovered by observation．Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 　　15　　 towards the earth than small ones, 　　16　　 Aristotle said so．But Galileo, going to the 　　17　　 of the learning Tower of Pisa, let fall two 　　18　　 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong．It was Galileo's 　　19　　 of going direct to Nature, and proving our 　　20　　 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science．

　　I had arrived at the airport about 30 minutes before the check-in．It had been a very 　　1　　 three days for me with lots of meetings．So I was glad to have the 　　2　　 time to make my notes on what I 　　3　　 to do the following day．But then came the 　　4　　 that my flight had to be 　　5　　 because there was a problem with the plane．

　　As I sat waiting for my 　　6　　 to be called, I reflected on my last meeting of the day．It was not a business meeting but rather a very enjoyable 　　7　　 with an old business friend I had not seen for over 12 years．Our lunch was spent recalling times gone by 　　8　　 filling each other in what had happened in our lives over the last 12 years．We both laughed and smiled as we recalled the good times and the great experiences we had 　　9　　 together．At the end of our time together, we both said how much we had 　　10　　 it and that we must do it again．

　　It was great to have this additional time to replay in my 　　11　　 all that we had talked about．I realized just how important it was to have regular 　　12　　 of the good times in our life．I was lucky enough to have had the chance to take a short 　　13　　 and reflect on the good things that had happened in my life over 12 years．

　　It was somewhat like looking at an old photo album 　　14　　 in a cupboard in your house．There before your eyes are lots of wonderful 　　15　　 that take you back to times and places, and most importantly to those people who are in the 　　16　　．

　　My flight home was finally 　　17　　 three hours later．I smiled as I 　　18　　 the plane and realized that I was not at all 　　19　　 about the delay in the flight, as I had been able to spend the time 　　20　　 on the good times from days gone by．
