Can you imagine what Edison¡¯s life was like in the years after he had invented the electric lamp? Many things had to be   1   and built before electric lamps could   2   be used by all: machines to measure the electricity each home or office used; things to make it   3   that the electricity in the wires did not   4  fires, things to send electricity  5   the right places.

Everything that was   6   had to be thought   7   and built by Edison and the men  8   worked with him. There was no places where they could buy the things they needed. Edison made   9   inventions in order to send electric power to   10   it was wanted.

Edison directed all the work himself: testing new machines, putting wires  11   ground ;fixing lights, and so on. He  12   to be everywhere or the same time. He wanted his men   13   as much work as he did. But he never asked them to do things he  14   would not or could not do.

He had never thought much about   15   hours for sleep; now he often completely   16   sleeping. He slept for  17   minutes at a time, in the middle of the night, in an underground room   18   the power station, with a metal box for his bed. During these days, he almost never saw his wife and their children.

Everyone probably   19  him. Edison won his success when his work was completed. However, he almost did not notice the money and honor he received  20   soon he became interested in other ideas.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have  1  been people who have looked for   2  ¡ªthose who have climbed the highest mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or sailed in   3  across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who   4  an immediate pleasure from a   5  activity which may only last   6   or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping   7  good example of   8  . You   9  a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot-air balloon)200 meters above the ground   10  an elastic(Óе¯ÐÔµÄ)rope   11  your   12  . You fall at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the ropes   13  you from hitting the ground. It is said that 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities   14  most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping   15  jumping from tall buildings and diving into the sea from the top of high rocks.

  16  do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists(ÐÄÀíѧ¼Ò)suggest that it is   17  life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, people¡¯s lives were constantly in danger. They had to go out and hunt for food, and life was a continuous battle for survival(Éú´æ).

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers   18  excitement. They live and work in relatively   19  condition ¡ª¡ª they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for   20  in activities as bungee jumping.

Some air companies give small presents to their passengers. One day a businessman was   1   in an aeroplane,   2   he remembered that he had promised to get some toy wings(·É»ú¼ÝÊ»ºÏ¸ñ»ÕÕÂ), like the ones which   3   wear, for his children.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the  1  side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to  2  in good health, or  3  about how to behave and conduct oneself in society. If I cut the front article, the opposite one is likely to  4  damage, leaving out half of it or keeping the text  5  the title. Therefore, the scissors(¼ôµ¶£©would  6  before they start,   7  halfway done when I find out the   8  result.

Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your  9  . You can only take up one of them, the other has to wait or be  10  up. But you know the future is unpredictable(²»¿ÉÔ¤²âµÄ)¡ªthe changed situation may not allow you to do what is left  11  . Thus you are   12  in a difficult position and feel sad. How  13  that nice chances and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life  14  greatly on your preference of one choice to the other.

In fact that is what  15  is like: we are often  16  with the two opposite sides of the thing which are both desirable like a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only  17  we get into another. The  18  may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I  19  remember a philosopher¡¯s remarks: ¡°When one door shuts, another opens in life. ¡±So a casual(ËæÒâµÄ)  20  may not be a bad one.

Protecting China¡¯s Giant Panda

China¡¯s giant panda shows the achievement of the international effort to save animals that are now in danger. In television programs we often see pandas  1  funny games. Children have panda toys and beautiful cards with pictures of lovely  2  in them. They often visit the giant pandas in the zoo on  3  holidays and have a good time there. However, scientists are worried about the  4  of giant pandas. They know only about 1 000 giant pandas remain  5  today. They think the giant panda will die out in 30 years if the present conditions are not  6  .

It is reported that the giant pandas have a very  7  birthrate. About 115 pandas live in zoos and research centers mainly in China, but during the past 10 years they  8  only 34  9  pandas that are still alive. Survival rate for giant pandas in the wild are probably the same or lower.

There are several reasons for the low  10  . The main reason is  11  male pandas can make love with females in a very  12  season¡ªonly a few days a year. When they do have babies, females often produce two pandas, but the mother is usually not able to care for  13  of them. The newborn pandas  14  only a few kilograms each. They are too weak to live without special care. In the zoo, scientists can help the mothers  15  the young pandas, but those living in the wild do not get enough  16  . It is very difficult for mother pandas to bring up their young pandas.

Conditions for the giant pandas have been worse in recent years. Pandas in China continue to  17  in number. We know pandas live on bamboos. But sometimes all the bamboos in one area die. The pandas there have  18  to eat and die of hunger.

Giant pandas now live in 13 separate  19  areas in China. Several years ago the Chinese government and the International Wild Life Organization agreed  20  a project of protecting giant pandas in the wild. We hope it could be helpful.

¡°Dear Sir, I probably would have written ages ago, only I was not aware(Òâʶµ½)that you were still alive, ¡±writes a South African schoolgirl called Tyfanny in 1946. ¡°I must have been mixing you up with Sir Isaac Newton. ¡±

Tyfanny, who goes on to ask Albert Einstein about the nature of space, received a(n)  1  reply from the great man six weeks later. ¡°Dear Tyfanny, ¡±he writes, ¡°I have to apologize to you that I am still among the  2  . This will not always be the case, however. ¡±

Tyfanny is one of the 60 children whose   3  to one of the greatest scientists of all time are  4  in the book Dear Professor Einstein: Albert Einstein¡¯s Letters To And From Children.

The letters are printed  5  as they were written, spelling  6  and all, with some printed in their original handwritten form.

While many letters seek answers to  7  questions, such as ¡°what  8  the sun and planets in space?¡±or ¡°I want to know what is beyond the sky and my mother said you can tell me, ¡±others are more personal. ¡°I would like to ask if you   9  make any mistakes. ¡±  10  one child. While the children¡¯s letters are certainly entertaining,   11  is Einstein¡¯s replies that attract the most interest.

  12  , he could not respond to every letter, but the letters he did  13  the time to answer, which showed the human side of the great scientist. Although he   14  his days looking into mathematics and   15  , he was always very fond of children and their boundless curiosity(ºÃÆæÐÄ).

For example, it was in a letter to a 12-year-old girl from New York that he makes his now well-known remark:¡°Do not worry about your  16  in mathematics; I promise you that  17  are still greater. ¡±

¡°This is a beautiful and touching  18  . It is amazing how intelligent some of the children¡¯s  19  are, ¡±said a reader from Georgia, US. ¡°but it is more interesting to get to know the other  20  of Einstein. ¡±

Signs made up mainly of circles, crosses, or arrows, can occasionally be seen at the entrance of a house. They   1   that a tramp(Á÷À˺º) has been there. This special sign-language is often used by tramps to tell their   2   whether the people living in a certain house are hospitable(ºÃ¿ÍµÄ) or unfriendly, and to save them the trouble of making unnecessary   3  .

Quite by chance one day, I   4   a real tramp. He is such a rare sight these days that I stopped and   5   him from some distance away. He was dressed just as a tramp would be, in patched trousers and a jacket many sizes   6   big for him. On his head there was a shabby hat and his boots were so worn that they were almost coming   7   pieces. But the man himself looked   8  , as if he had not a care in the world. He put down a small bag by the front gate, and began   9   a sign left by a previous(ÏÈǰµÄ) caller. Although the sign was   10   to me, it must have been favorable to him, for his face lit up with   11 . He entered the gate and rang the bell. When the door opened, I saw him   12  his hat. But the conversation that took place was very   13   indeed, for before he said a few words, the door shut loudly in his face. I felt very sorry for him   14   he walked sadly out of the house. But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved   15   towards the gate.   16   he stopped, looked at the sign and shook   17   seriously as if he had made a big mistake. Digging deep into his pockets, he took out a piece of   18  , rubbed out the existing sign and   19  a new one in its place. Then he   20   his things and began walking to the next house, whistling as he went along.

Every day, the news of the world reaches people by over 300 million copies of daily papers, over 400 million radio sets, and over 150 million television sets. Additional news is   1 by motion pictures, in theatres and cinemas all over the world. As more people learn what the important events of the day are,   2  still only care for the events of their own household. Nearly four hundred years ago the English writer John Donne said, ¡°No man is an island. ¡±This   3  is more appropriate(Ç¡µ±µÄ)today than it was   4  Donne lived. In short, wherever he lives, a man  5  to some society; and we are becoming more and more aware(Çå³þµÄ)that  6  happens in one particular society affects, somehow, the life of mankind.

Newspapers have been published in the  7  world for about four hundred years. Most of the newspapers   8  today are read in Europe and North America. However,   9  they may be read in all parts of the world,   10  to the new inventions that are changing the techniques of newspaper  11  .

Electronics and automation(×Ô¶¯»¯)have made it  12  to produce pictures and texts far more quickly than before. Photographic copying doesn't   13   to use type(Ǧ×Ö)and printing machines. And fewer specialists,   14  type-setters, are needed to produce a paper or magazine by the  15  method. Therefore, the publishing of newspapers and magazines can  16  more money. Besides, photocopies can be sent over great  17  now by means of television channels and satellites such as Telstar. Thus,   18  can be brought to the public more quickly than before.

Machines that prepare printed texts for photocopies are being used a great deal today. Film,   19  light and small, can be sent rapidly to other places and used to print copies of the text   20  they are needed. Film pictures can also be projected(ͶӰ)easily on a movie or television screen.

The Grand Ole Opry, in Nashville, Tennessee, has always been America¡¯s most important concert hall for country music. Every Saturday night the place is filled to the ceiling with country music   1 .

One   2  in January 1967, was a very   3  night at the Opry. For the first time, a   4  man was an attraction(ÒýÈËעĿ).   5  music had always been thought of as¡°White music¡±. For many, it was a strange   6   to see Charley Pride step   7   the Opry stage. Some people left   8   about whether a black man could sing country songs.   9   Charley¡¯s smooth voice quickly   10   over the Opry   11  , Charley was so good that before long, he was country music¡¯s biggest   12  .

Like many country singers, Charley was   13   on a farm. He spent his youth milking cows and picking cotton. But he knew he wasn't going to make   14   his career(Ö°Òµ). Later he became a baseball player.

Charley made it to a major(Ö÷ÒªµÄ)league team. But he didn¡¯t stay on for more than one season.

In the winter, after the baseball season, Charley   15   at a local nightclub. One evening, Red Sovine, a great country music star,   16   Charley Red and told Charley to forget about   17   and go for a singing career.

Charley took the   18   and became a true hit-maker. His   19   were always near the top on the list. Some were Number One all over the country.

Today Charley Pride is   20   one of the biggest stars in country music. But he says his real wish is to own a baseball team.
