Inventor,physicist,surveyor,astronomer,biologist,artist…Robert Hooke was all these and more.Some say he Was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century.In the course of his work,he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton,and the great architect, Chrish@ler Wren.

Hoocke's early education began at home,under the guidance of his father.He entered Westnfinster School at the age of 13,and from there went to Oxford,where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England.Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments.In 1662,at the age of 28, he was named Curator of

 Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London—meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating new experiments at the society’s weekly meetings.Hooke accepted the job,even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!

Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favorite pastimes.He invented a compound microscope for this purpose.One day while observing a cork(软木塞)under a microscope,he saw honeycomb-like structures.They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact,it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the boxlike ceils of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院).

Another achievement Of Hook’s was his book Micrographi which introduced the.Enormous potential of the microscope.It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the  microscope.The book also includes,among other things,ideas on gravity,light and combustion(燃烧)that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.

No fight can end, and no friendship can move on, until everyone says these little words : I’m sorry . Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 71  

It’s not about winning.

Friendships aren’t like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving you’re right and he is wrong , or by making him be the first to apologize .

In reality, you’ll BOTH LOSE if you let your fight ruin your friendship, and you will BOTH WIN if you find a way to heal it.

72   

You may have heard the expression.“His pride stood in the way .”It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined to be “ right ” that he lets an opportunity for happiness pass him by forever . 73    Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend.

Take the first step.

Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin your friendship? 74    You don’t have to take full responsibility for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said that’s worth apologizing for. Maybe you’re sorry that you let the fight go for so long , or that you overreacted (反应过度) to something your friend did . If you say you’re sorry, it’s like an invitation for your friend to do the same.  75   

A. Then try to be the first to apologize.

B. Stop thinking about your pride.

C. It’s about taking some responsibility for the argument.

D. Don’t let this happen to a friendship you care about.

E. Here are some things to keep in mind.

F. There are some special cases when you shouldn’t be the one to apologize first .

G. Once you’ve both said it, you’ll both feel a million times better .
