     What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those
of others?
     The answer is"no". It isn't the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a
scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter(木匠).
You will probably agree,too,that knowing how to investigate(调查) ,how to discover information,is
important to everyone. The scientist,however,goes one step further;he must be sure that he has a
reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer he gets to many questions is into a large set of
ideas about how the world works.
     The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There's no room for half right or right just half the time.  He
must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times.  If the conditions are different,any changes the scientist
observes in a demonstration(实证) must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason why investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein,who developed the Theory of Relativity,
amved at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy (正确性) of his mathematics was later tested
through investigation.  Einstein's ideas were proved to be correct.  A scientist uses many tools for
measurements.  Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations (计算) that may test
his investigations.

     One year ago today, seven patients shared their stories of illness and recovery on the New York Time Well
(a blog), according to a report published in April,2009.
     They were the first Patient Voices, a regular series that offers a first person (第一人称的) description of
the challenges patients face as they deal with different kinds of health problems. Since the first Patient Voices
appeared, New York Times producer Karen Barrow has continued to give a voice to a lot of patient stories.
     We heard from Jacqueline Castine of Bloomfield Hills, Mich,who had bipolar disorder (躁郁症), and whose
son also suffered from mental (精神的) illness."I could not save him," she said."I could not fix (惩罚 ) him.
He leaves a beautiful daughter and a very sad mother."
     And there is runner Alyssa Johnson,43,who was training for the Boston Marathon in 2003 when she began
showing the first signs of Parkinson's disease." Sometimes when I'm running I'll come to a long downhill, and
my legs work the way they used to work and my arm swings (摆动) the way it used to. It's like running before Parkinson's, and that's the best feeling.
     And then there's the voice of Robin Grinsted, 50, of Swansea, S. C.,who has H. I. V. She is refused by her
church and feels lonely."They're not accepting," she said." But I know there will be people putting their arms
around me some day."
