those of others? The answer is NO. It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses the tools that make
difference. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will
probably agree that knowing how to investigate and how to discover information is important to anyone. The
scientist goes one step further than that; he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and
that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions
into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist"s knowledge must be exact. 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 change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the
conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the
theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later
tested through investigations, Einstein"s ideas were shown to be correct.

| Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised, "Barbara, be enthusiastic (热情 的)! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there, then the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" When others shout, "No, you can"t!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted, yet she didn"t stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping. We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, Cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. An author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul." Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, "I never made a dime until I stopped working for money."" If we can"t do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years,and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am tempted to call Layton a genius." We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment whole- heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden, the sim- ple picture of a six-year-old, the beauty of a rainbow. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| We should show respect (尊重) to everybody, especially our elders because they are ahead of us-in age, in wisdom, in experience and education. Our 1 have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 2 everything to their kindness and love. When we 3 them respect, whether ii is by bowing to them, or 4 them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 5 our own love and gratitude (感激) to them. 6 , elders have also been through all the years you are 7 and know a little more about the world than you do. It is 8 that you do not agree with the belief of your elders but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 9 with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 10 . However much you disagree with them, give them credit (信任) for their 11 . With changing times and 12 influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 13 express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 14 their voices. If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 15 their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 16 to give up their places to older people. This is not a 17 of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are youngsters have the strength to bear 18 , or stand unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration (体贴) to those who are older and perhaps at a 19 disadvantage (劣势). When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders 20 that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
