What makes a person a scientist？（是什么使一个人成为科学家？) Does he have ways or tools of

What makes a person a scientist？ (是什么使一个人成为科学家？) Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others？ The answer is “no”. It is not 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. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, 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 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. There is 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 are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes 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, and Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. nextItem What makes a scientist according to the passage？ ________ A.The tools he uses.

Questions （1）to（5） are based on the following passage:What makes a person a scientist？

Questions （1）to（5） are based on the following passage:

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 is not 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 saw is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, 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 question 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. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the condition permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time mustwork under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes 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 latter tested through investigation. Einstein’s ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurement. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what

they see.Chances are you will receive three different answers.Each person sees the same scene, but each perceives(感觉、察觉) something different about it.

Perceiving goes on in our minds.Of the three people who look out the window, one may say that he sees a policeman giving a motorist a ticket.Another may say that he sees a rush-hour traffic jam at the crossing.The third may tell you that he sees a woman trying to cross the street with four children.For perception is the mind's explanation of what the senses - in this case our eyes - tell us.

Many psychologists today are working to try to decide just how a person experiences or perceives the world around him.Using a scientific method, these psychologists set up experiments in which they can control all of the factors.By measuring and charting the results of many experiments, they are trying to find out what makes different people perceive totally different things about the same scene.

31.Seeing and perceiving are().

A.the same action

B.two separate actions

C.two actions carried on entirely by the eyes

D.several actions that take place at different time

32.Perceiving is an action that takes place().

A.in our eycs

B.only when we think very hard about something

C.only under the direction of a psychologist

D.in every person's mind

33.People perceive different things about the same scene because().

A.they come from different countries

B.they can't agree about things

C.some have better eyesight

D.not clearly mentioned in the passage

34.Psychologists study perception by().

A.setting up many experiments

B.asking each other what they see

C.looking out of the window themselves

D.studying the differences in people's eyes

35.The best title for this passage is().

A.How We See

B.Learning About Our Minds Through Science

Personality comes from the Latin word "persona" which means "mask". Thus, it can be said t

hat personality is a ' mask' a person wears to face the world. No two persons are identical in terms of personality. A person's tastes and ideas add to the colors of his or her personality. Effectively, personality is the outward reflection of a person's inner self. If John is a person who likes to give to the less fortunate, people will remember him as a kind person. In a sense, personality is the colors of a person.

In the normal walk of life, we come across people who are more popular than others. Popularity is a subjective phenomenon and many a sociologist is still trying to figure out what makes for popularity. A person with a bright personality is usually more popular than a person with a dull personality, right？ Beautiful people are usually more popular than ugly people, right？ Actually, it's hard to pinpoint (确定) what kind of personality is popular and what is unpopular.

Behavior. can be described as the manifestation of personality in response to a situation. No two persons will react to the same situation in the same manner. This is because of the person's personality. Let's take the example of an introvert and an extrovert. We shall create a situation to study how they behave in the same environment. The introvert and the extrovert are placed into two identical rooms at the same time. Every effort is taken to ensure that the environment is the same. They are told to read a book in 2 hours. Then, we ask a group of hooligans (小流氓) to go into the rooms and beat the rooms. How do you think the introvert and the extrovert will behave in such an environment？ We don't know but we know they will behave differently.

Are you satisfied with how your career is turning out？ You may not consciously know it but your personality has a great bearing of your job performance. If you are extremely shy and hate to socialize, you are not cut for a sales job or a PR(公共关系)position. You may try to change your ways and take on a more outgoing style. but you may not be happy. There are some personality characters which are inherent. If you know yourself well, you will find a career that suits your personality and excel in it.

We may infer from the first paragraph that______.

A．we have to face the world with masks

B．personality can be shown through one's actions

C．people's personalities are all fixed through their life

D．people's personalities are totally different from each other

根据下面材料，回答题。

What Makes Me the Weight I Am？

There"s no easy answer to this question. Your genetic makeup， the physical traits that get passed down to you from your parents， plays a big part in determining your size and weight.____46____ But if your parents are smaller than average， you may want to rethink that professional basketball career!

The same goes for your body type. Have you ever heard someone say a person is "big boned" ？

It"s a way of saying the person has a large frame， or skeleton. Big bones usually weight more than small bones.____47____

Like your height or body type， your genes have a lot to say about what your weight will be.

But that"s only part of the story. Being overweight can run in someone"s family， but it may not be because of their genes.____48____ And even though some kids gain weight more easily than others，when they eat right and exercise， most kids can be a healthy and happy weight that"s right for them.

It"s true——the way you live can change the way you look.

How much you weight is a balance between the calories you eat and the calories you use.

____49____ If you spend your free time watching TV， your body won"t use as many calories as it would if you played basketball， skated， or went for a walk. If you are in balance， your weight will stay right for you as you grow. But if you eat more and exercise less， you may become overweight.

____50____

听力原文： The first step in writing is to get over the guilt of not writing. You don' t "o

we” anybody a letter. Letters are a gift. The burning shame you feel when you see unanswered mail makes it harder to pick up a pen and makes for a cheerless letter when you finally do. Skip sentences like "I feel bad about not writing, but I' ve been so busy, "etc. A few letters are obligatory, and they are "Thanks for the wonderful gift "and "You are welcome your friends to stay with me. "and not many more than that. Write those promptly if you want to keep your friends. Don' t worry about others, except love letters, of course. When your true love writes "Dear light of my life; joy of my beart, "some response is called for.

Keep your writing stuff and in one place where you can sit down for a few minutes. For ex ample, keep envelopes, stamps, an address book, everything in a drawer so you can write fast when the mood strikes you.

Sit down for a few minutes with the blank sheet in front of you, and meditate on the person you will write to. Let your friend come to mind until you can almost see her or him in the room with you. Remember the last time you saw each other and how your friend looked and what you said and what perhaps was unsaid between you. And when your friend becomes real to you, start to write.

Write the salutation - Dear You - and take a deep breath and plunge in. A simple declarative sentence will do, followed by another and another and another. Tell us what you' re doing and tell it like you were talking to us. Don't think about grammar, don't think about style, don't try to write dramatically, just give us your news. Where did you go, who did you see, what did they say, what do you think.

How to get over the first step to write a letter？

A．You consider that you owe somebody a letter.

B．You consider that letters are gifts.

C．You consider that writing letters makes you feel cheerful.

D．You should feel shamed that you haven' t answered a letter.
