与舞蹈和音乐相伴的歌谣跟口头流传的神话，远在文字出现之前就已大量产生。中国的文学正是发端于此

飓风肆意地吹着我,从无边的苦海吹向绝境。

我寻找爱，因为爱使人陶醉。我常常宁愿用我全部的余生来换取几个小时这样的欣喜。我寻找爱，因为爱使我解除了孤寂，解除了一个颤抖的灵魂从人世间到冷漠无底的深渊所经历的孤寂。我寻找爱，因为我在爱的缩影中看到了圣人和诗人眼里天堂的景象。这就是以往我寻找的，虽然对于人生来说似乎过于美好，但我终于找到了。

以同样的激情，我寻求知识。我渴望理解人类的心灵。我想知道群星为何闪烁。我试图领悟毕达哥拉斯的数的魔力，它支配着数的和谐。我已多少达到了此目的。

爱和知识总是通往天堂。但是怜悯总把我带回尘世。痛苦喊叫的回声在我心中回荡。挨饿的孩子，遭摧残的受害者，被子女视为累赘的无助老人，以及这个充满孤独、贫穷和痛苦的世界，是对应有人生的一种嘲弄。我渴望减轻这种灾难，但是我无能为力，我也在受苦。

人和女人做得一样：一样耐心持久地抚育孩子一样任劳任怨地操持家务;一样尽心尽责地伺奉老人。仔细想想，“男女都一样”的口号曾鼓励着许多妇女竭力地建树了和男人一样的丰功伟绩，同时，女人却依然要做那些和男人不一样的事。其实，所谓“一样”的口号，使女人在做着女人的同时再做男人;其实，所谓“一样”的口号，让女人们又给自己加重了一挑担子;其实，女人和男人在根本上还是不一样的。

没有家，没有爱，没有温暖，只有一根生活的鞭子在赶他。然而他能够倔强!他能够恨!他能够用自己的两只手举起生活的担子，不害怕，不悲哀。他能够做别的生在富裕的环境里的小孩所不能够做的事情，而且有着他们所不敢有的思想。生活毕竟是一个熔炉。它能够锻炼出这样倔强的孩子来。甚至人世间最惨痛的遭遇也打不倒他。

___ that there are not 5 percent of the people who are equipped with school, including college, to understand scientific reasoning. We are more ignorant of science as people___2___ with comparable education in Western Europe.

There are a lot of kids who know everything about computers—how to build them, how to take them apart, and how to write programs for games. So if you ask _____3_____ them to explain about the principles of physics that have gone into creating the _____4_____ computer, you don?t have faintest idea. _____5_____

The failure to understand science leads to such things like the neglect of human _____6_____ creative power. It also takes rise to blurring of the distinction between ____7____science and technology. Lots of people don?t differ between the two. Science ____8____ new knowledge that can be applied or not, and technology is the application of is the production of knowledge to the production of some products, machinery or the like. The two are really different, and people who have the faculty for one very seldom have a faculty for the others. _____9_____

Science in itself is harmless, more or less. But as soon as it can provide technology, it?s not necessarily harmful. No society has yet learned to forecast the ___10_____ consequences of new technology, which can be enormous.

指纹。 这项技术将一束密集的X光对准留有指纹的物体表面，并根据扫描结果创建出计算机图像。

传统的方法是通过常规光线使指纹显示出来，而且要借助粉末等物质，这会改变指纹保存状况。而该新方法使用了一种“微X射线束荧光技术”，可以探测到指纹携带的化学成分，却不会改变指纹的保存状态。

该实验室的一位科学家瓦希德·马吉德表示，对那些大实验室来说，这是获取用其他方法看不到的印迹的最好方法。

马吉德说：“这项技术填补了一项空缺。如果没有这项技术，某些印迹就会变得毫无意义。比如说，如果是深色表面上的指纹，普通技术确实无法精确地探测到它们;如果是青少年或小孩的指纹，他们的指尖留下的化学成分(和成人)是不同的，而且这些指纹附着在物体表面的时间并不久，因此不适宜使用传统的分析方法。”

豪夫里洛说：“这是清晰显示指纹的一种新途径。我们查找印迹时不再只观察手指分泌的油脂和残留有机物，而是专注于其背后隐藏的特殊化学成分。”

该实验室发明的这种新型指纹探测法的创新之处在于它包含了计算机软件技术和机器操作方法。但是这一技术也并非众人皆宜。豪夫里洛笑着说：“我们已经收到了一些负面评论。一位批评者对我们说它压根不实用。但我们工作的目标是证明这种技术是切实可行的。”

very cold conditions it becomes a solid called ice and that when heating on a fire it becomes a vapor called steam. __2__ However, water, they would say, is a liquid. We have learned that water consists of molecules composed with two atoms of hydrogen __3__ and one atom of oxygen, which we describe by the formula H2O. This is equally true of the solid called ice and the gas called steam. Chemically there is no difference between the gas, the liquid, and the solid, all of which is made up of molecules with the formula H2O. __4__ This is true of other chemical substances; most of them can exist as gases or as liquids or as solids. We may normally think of iron as a solid, but if we will heat it in a furnace, it will melt and become a __5__ liquid, and at very high temperatures it will become a gas. Nothing very permanent occurs when a gas changes into a liquid or a solid. Everyone knows that ice, which has been made by freezing water, can be melted again by warmed and that steam can be condensed __6__ on a cold surface to become liquid water. In fact, it is only because water is so a familiar substance that different names are used for __7__ the solid, liquid and gas. Most substances are only familiar with __8__ us in one state, because the temperatures requiring to turn them __9__ into gases are very high, or the temperatures necessary to turn them into solids are so low. Water is an exception in this respect, which is another reason why its three states have given three different names. __10__

p being strucked by the __1__ appearance of the women taking part. Their hair styles and make-up look date; their skirts look either too long or too __2__ short; their general appearance is, in fact, slightly ludicrous.

The men taking part, on other hand, are clearly recognizable. __3__ There is nothing about their appearance to suggest that they belong to an entire different age. This illusion is created __4__ by changing fashions. Over the years, the great minority of men __5__ have successfully resisted all attempts to make it change their __6__ style. of dress. The same cannot be said for women. Each year,a fewer so-called top designers in Paris and London lay down __7__ on the law and women around the world run to obey. The __8__ decrees of the designers are unpredictable and dictatorial.Sometime they decide arbitrarily, that skirts will be short and __9__ waists will be height; hips are in and buttons are out. __10__
