42. Mr. White lived in a small village.
His parents hadn't enough money to send him to
school. He
had to help them to do
something in the fields. But he didn't like to
live in the poor place. When he
was
sixteen, he got to the town and found work in a
factory. Three years later he became tall and
strong. So he was sent to Africa as a
soldier. He stayed there for five years and got
some money.
Then he came back to
England and bought a shop in a small town. No
people in the town went to
Africa
except him. And he hoped they thought he was a
famous man and that they could respect
him. The children often asked him to
tell them some stories and his life in Africa.
One day a few
children asked him to tell them something about
the animals in Africa. He told
them
how
he
fought
with
the
tigers
and
elephants.
His
stories
surprised
them
all

some
policemen
and
workers
went
to
listen
to
him.
It

him
happier.

If

Africa
or

you
fly
over
forests
for
thousands

kilometers.
These
great
forests
are
the
oceans
of
trees.
There
are
thousands
and
thousands of different kinds of plants
and animals.
However, the world's
forests are getting smaller all the time. We are
cutting down the trees
because we need
wood, and we need more farmland. Some people say
that there will not be any
forests like
these in 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they
disappear?
If we cut down our forests,
a lot of plants and animals will disappear from
the world. In a lot
of places the new
farmland will soon look like the old deserts.
Crops will not grow there. It will
not
rain very often, and the weather will get very
hot. Perhaps the climate of the world will change.
This will be dangerous for everyone in
the world. That is why we must take care of our
forests.

44. What makes one person more
intelligent than another? What makes one person a
genius, like
the brilliant Albert
Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people
born intelligent or stupid, or is
intelligence the result of where and
how you live? These are very old questions and the
answers to
them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born
with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the
mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It
needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly
important for
young
children.
Many
child
psychologists
(
心理学家
)
think
that
parents
should
play
with
their
children more often and give them
problems to think about. The children are then
more likely to
grow
up
bright
and
intelligent.
If,
on
the
other
hand,
children
are
left
alone
a
great
deal
with
nothing to do, they are
more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful
with
what
they
say
to
young
children.
According
to
some
psychologists,
if
parents
are
always
telling a child that
he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is
more likely to keep doing silly
and
foolish things. So it is probably better for
parents to say very positive things to their
children,
such as

born with a good brain and putting it into active
use is more likely to become a

聪明或愚笨
是生来就有的吗？还是说智力是你住

仍然没有清楚回答这些问题的答案。
然而，
< br>我们知道仅仅出生时智力好是不够的。

two

James
Watt
had
made
the
world's first widely
used steam engine. He had no way of telling people
exactly how powerful it
was, for at
that time there were no units for measuring power.
Watt decided to find out
how much work one strong horse could do in one
minute. He called
that unit one
horsepower. With this unit he could measure the
work his steam engine could do.
He discovered that a horse could lift a
3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air on one
minute.
His engine could lift a
3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute.
Because his engine did ten
times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a
ten horsepower
engine.

Snowflakes
look like white stars falling from the sky. But
there have been times when snow
has
looked red, green, yellow, or black. There have
been snowflakes of almost every color. Think
how it would seem to have colored
snowflakes coming down all around you.
Black snow fell in France one year.
Another year grey snow fell in Japan. It was found
that
the
snow
was
mixed
with
ashes.
This
made
it
look
dark.
Red
snow
had
come
down
in
other
countries. When this happened, the snow
was mixed with red dust.
Most snow looks white, but it is really
the color of ice. Snow is ice that comes from snow
cloud. Each snowflake begins with a
small drop of frozen water. More water forms
around this
drop. The way the water
freezes gives the snowflakes its shape.
No
two
snowflakes
are
ever
just
the
same
size
or
shape.
Sometimes
the
snowflakes
are
broken
when
they
come
down.
Other
snowflakes
melt
as
they
fall.
All
snowflakes
are
flat
and
have
six
sides,
if
they
are
not
broken
or
melted.
When
the
air
is
cold
and
dry,
the
falling
snowflakes are small and hard. If the
air wet and warm, the snowflakes are big and soft.
Would
you
be
surprised
to
see
snowflakes
as
big
as
your
head
falling
from
the
sky?
It
happened once in the United States. It
could happen again.

Medicine,
part
of
the
National
Academies.
This
organization provides scientific and
technical advice to the government and the public.
The
report
contains
some
general
suggestions.
The
experts
say
women
should
get
about
two-point-seven liters
of water daily. Men should get about three-point-
seven liters.
But wait
－
in each case,
that is more than eight glasses.
There is an important difference. The
report does not tell people how many glasses of
water to
drink. In fact, the experts
say it may be impossible to know how many glasses
are needed to meet
these
guidelines.
This
is
because
the
daily
water
requirement
can
include
the
water
content
in
foods.
People do not get water only by forcing themselves
to drink a set number of glasses per day.
