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(明显的) 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 perhaps be considered to 6 as far back as the 7 of Roger Bacon, the wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who live 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(伽利略), however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men, 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 leaning 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.

Someone asked him, “What does a country need ” Confucius answered, “Enough food, a good army, and a good leader.” The people then asked, “Which one is the most important ” Confucius answered, “An army is not very important.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the do-it-yourself'(DIY) trend(趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.
‘We needed furniture(家具) for our living room,' says John Ross, ‘and we just didn't have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.' John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. ‘I was deeply upset (焦虑)about it. Now I've finished a car repair course(课程), I should be able to fix the car by myself.'
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing
everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a ‘do-it-yourselfer’, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

Gulangyu—A Fairyland in the World
Gulangyu, which is an island located to the southwest of Xiamen, covers an area of no more than two square kilometers.
The scenery there is very beautiful, especially when you enjoy it from the top of the Sunshine Rock. Because of its natural beauty, Gulangyu is regarded as a garden on the sea. There is a ban on driving motor vehicle on the island, which makes the island so quiet that music played on the piano can be heard. However, there are some disadvantages there. The ticket prices for most attractions are very high. What's worse, with the development of tourism, the original scenery on the island has been destroyed and polluted.
It is hoped that everyone should make every effort to keep its beauty.
