Away from Home

Cristobal Martin was born in Granada, Spain, 38 years ago.“Granada is the most beautiful city in the world," says Mr. Martin. "Its sun is warm and its air is clear." Today, Mr. Martin works in Germany, where the weather is often cold and rainy. But in Germany, he works in a factory and makes a much better pay.“In Granada, there is very little industry. I was only a farm worker. When the German company came and offered me a job, I took it right away." Mr. Martin works in a chemical factory. He works from 7:00 am to 4:00 pm. From 10:00 pm to 1:00 am, he has another job cleaning out the office of a doctor in his neighborhood.

Mr. Martin does not speak much German.“I wish I had time to go to school and learn more. It would be easier to live here. I have sat with the same men at lunch every day for four years, and we never talk to each other. They think of me as a foreigner'," he says.

After work, Mr. Martin rides home on the bicycle he brought with him from Spain.“I live in a small room that I don't like very much. But I know that a better room is not why I came to Germany." Mr. Martin hopes that in two years he will have enough money to return home.“I want to open up a small shop, find a wife, and have a satisfactory life for me and my family."

Mr. Martin lives in a neighborhood with Italians and Spanish people. “We think alike," he says,“and we don't mind the noise of the wives and children that the Germans complain about. I am thankful for the jobs Germany has given me. But Germany is not the proper place for me. It is not my home."

Mysteries of the Sea

The sea is the largest unknown part of our world. Much of this vast blanket of water is still to be discovered. 

Luckily, no single nation has to learn all about the ocean by itself. The world sea is owned by no one; it surrounds the earth and belongs to us all. Scientists in many different countries are working to explain its mysteries.

Some are studying ways of bringing the ocean's huge supply of water to the deserts of the world. Others are studying the ways in which sound travels and is affected by water and heat. What happens when sea water touches different elements (元素) is another subject of study. These are just a few of the questions which ocean scientists are working on.

One of the most interesting projects in oceanography (海洋学) is the work of mapping the ocean floor. Only a very small part of it has been mapped. This was not important when only surface ships sailed the world's oceans, but it can mean the difference between life and death to men in ships going underwater.

Long ago there was only one way to find out how deep the ocean was. A seaman would throw a heavy rope over the side of his ship. Then he pulled the rope up after it had reached the bottom. But this was not a very accurate way of measuring.

In the 20th century, a better way was found. Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American Navy ship sailed into a narrow area of water to do an experiment. Seamen dropped some equipment that would produce a loud noise when it hit the bottom. And a little instrument measured the time it took for the sound to reach the ship. This has helped scientists map the ocean floor.

11. Our knowledge about the sea is

A. detailed

B. limited

C. deep

D. vast

12. The third paragraph is mainly about

A. the elements in the sea

B. the weather on the sea

C. the studies of the sea

D. the sound under the sea

13. Ocean scientists are interested in

A. drawing maps of the sea floor

B. building underwater ships

C. sailing the world's oceans

D. saving lives in the ocean

14. Before the 20th century, the measuring of the depth of the sea was

A. inaccurate

B. unknown

C. uninteresting

D. impossible'

15. The American Navy experiment measured the ocean with

A. heat

B. light

C. rope

D. sound

Research Is a State of Mind

➊For many years, there has been much misunderstanding as to just what research is. The popular belief seems to be that there is something mysterious (神秘的) about it and every research requires expensive scientific equipment. Actually, this is not so. Research isn't a physical thing at all; it's a state of mind. It is a simple, organized way of trying to accomplish something you wish to do.

❷You start by selecting the problem you would like to solve, and then you list at least ten reasons why it has not been solved. But in selecting the problem, you need to be sure that it is worth the effort. Remember, it takes just as much effort to solve a useless problem as a useful one.

❸After carefully selecting the problem and the ten things between you and the solution, you then use the same procedure as in solving a crossword puzzle (填字游戏)。You start with the less serious difficulties, and eventually you arrive at the one or two major ones. In the solution of the remaining difficulties, you may need some simple equipment, but what you need most is patience. Few people realize how hard it is to do anything new.

❹Maybe one of the reasons people are so easily discouraged is because of their education. During all our years at school, we were examined two or three times a year. If we failed once, we were out. However, all research work is 99.9% failure and, if we succeed once, we are in. If we are going to make progress, we must learn to fail intelligently so that we won't become discouraged at the 99.9% failure.

Many Ways of Life

All over the world, people do many of the same things necessary in order to live, yet in different ways.

Along the Amazon River, people live in river houses. Many South American Indians live in grass huts, and Eskimos may live in snow houses. You may be living in an apartment building several stories high.  26   

People live in different places, and they eat different foods.   27   For instance, sea spiders (蜘蛛) are caught for food in Japan, You may have eaten a sea spider, too, in the form of a seafood cold dish. In the United States, you may buy your lunch from a hot-dog stand.   28  But there, a native seller may sell you a hot-dog that is actually a piece of dog meat.

  29  Yet the Indians there have found a way to take the poison out from the plant and use the plant to make flour. From the flour, they make the bread, which is the major food all over South America.

Much of the food you eat probably comes from your local supermarket.  30  But an Indonesian on the island of Bali may wait much longer for a meal. There, a sticky (粘性的) liquid is spread on the end of a long pole. Then it is held up in the air until dragonflies (蜻蜓) come along and are stuck in the sticky liquid. In this way, a meal is done.

A. And much of that may need only to be heated before it is ready to eat.

B. Yet sometimes, they may eat the same foods.

C. In South America, there is a very poisonous plant.

D. You may have eaten some of the food yourself.

E. There are hot-dog stands on the islands of Sumatra as well.

F. Or you may live in a house.

A Lucky Coin

A 1943 US penny made at the Denver Mint (铸币厂) has sold for $1.7 million. That single coin is thought to be the  31  copper (铜) coin made in Denver that year.

Pennies were made of steel in 1943 because copper was in  32  supply for use in equipment to help  33  World War II. That was the only year that Lincoln pennies were not  34  of copper.

A  35  coin collector was eager to pay the huge sum for the coin because it was one of a kind. And that collector   36  had a 1943 copper penny from each of the other two US Mints.

You might be surprised to  37  what some of your own coins are  38  The more scarce any collectible (可收藏的) item is, the higher the  39  tends to be. It is possible that you might have a small  40  sitting in your pocket right now!

A. wealthy

B. short

C. learn

D. consisted

E. only

F. already

G price

H. made

I. large

J. fight

K. fortune
