Francis Bacon,one of the most important philosophers (哲学家) of England,was born in London and educated at Cambridge University.When he was only 15,he went to France to work for the English ambassador (大使).Two years later,he went up to England to study law.At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament (议会).His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking,called the scientific method.
One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays.Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying,conversation,friends and healthful living.In many of his books,Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really exist in nature and then try to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was.Later,by doing experiments,the scientist could see that any cause would always have the same result.This method,which is called inductive reasoning,is used by all the scientists today,but it was new in Bacon’s time.

Do you suppose Darwin,one of the greatest scientists of all time,really did fools’ experiments Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish
Sometimes,people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem.Sometimes,they really do know an answer or a solution,but without thinking they are important.
Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something.And,he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.
Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are exactly the same size and shape.If you drop them at the same time in the same place,they will fall in the same way.Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheet.What happens You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.
But this simple experiment is important.It explains part of our present-day understanding of physics,ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.
Science sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about
them.Even the simplest idea,which we might think is foolish,can shake the foundations of science.

A.was a great English scientist
B.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

It was Christmas,1961.I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my third graders were eagerly waiting for the great day of giving gifts.Each day the children made something new—strings of popcorn,hand-made trinkets(小饰品) and bells made from wallpaper,which we hung from the ceiling.One girl was just watching.I wondered what would happen to this child,once so happy,now so quiet.I hoped the festivities would please her,but nothing did.
We made cards for parents,for sisters and brothers,for grandparents,and for each other.At home the students made fried marbles.So I made each of my students a little bag for carrying their fried marbles home.
The day finally came.We were all excited as we exchanged the presents.But the girl just sat watching quietly.I had made a special bag for her.I wanted to see her smile.She opened the bag carefully.I waited,but she turned away.
After school the children left.I was sitting down in a chair to catch my breath,when she came to me with a small white box in her hands.
“For me ” I asked with a smile.She nodded.I opened the box.There inside,a fried marble hung from a golden chain.
In a flash I knew—she had make it for her mother,the mother she would never see again,the mother who had died just three weeks before.
I held out the chain.She took it in both her hands and put it on my neck.I whispered,“Oh,Maria,it is so beautiful.She would have loved it.” Neither of us could stop the tears.She ran into my arms.And for that moment I became her mother,for she had given me the greatest gift of all:herself.
