Certainly

18、 Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to the sea to further his work.For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travelers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many

19、questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that question “What is at the bottom of the oceans?” had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. They had to know the depth and profi

20、le (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured.It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测深) were tak

21、en to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book The Physical Geography of the Sea.The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed

22、 and when it was taken out for repairs, it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea.Within a few years oceanography was under way. In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition (考察), which laste

23、d for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.24. The proposal to lay a telegraph cable from Europe to America made oceanographic studies ta

26、7. This passage is mainly about .A. the beginnings of oceanographyB. the laying of the first undersea cableC. the investigation of ocean depthsD. the early intercontinental communicationsCLast week, my granddaughter started kindergarten, and I wished her every success. But part of me didnt. I actual

27、ly wanted her to fail in some ways because I believe that failure can be good for our learning process. Success 9陌北学习网 www.985211.bidis proving that you can do something that you already know you can do, or doing something correctly the first time, which can often be a problematic (存在问题的) victory. F

28、irst-time success is usually a fluke (侥幸). First-time failure, however, is supposed to be the natural order of things. Failure is how we learn.In Africa they describe a good cook as “she who has broken many pots”. If youve spent enough time in the kitchen to have broken a lot of pots, probably you k

29、now a fair amount about cooking. I once had dinner with a group of cooks, and they spent time comparing knife wounds and burn scars. They knew how much credibility (可信) their failures gave them.I earn my living by writing a daily newspaper column. Each week I know that one column I write is going to

30、 be the worst column. I try my best every day. I have learned to love that column. A successful column usually means that I am discussing my familiar topic, writing in a style I am used to or saying the same things as anyone else but in a better way.My younger daughter is a trapeze artist (荡秋千演员). S

31、he spent three years practising a show, and she did it successfully for years. There was no reason for her to change it but she did anyway. She said she was no longer learning anything new and she was bored. And if she was bored, there was no point in subjecting (使服从于) her body to all that stress. S

32、he risked failure and great public embarrassment in order to feed her soul.My granddaughter is a perfectionist. She will feel her failures, and I will want to comfort her. But I will also, I hope, remind her of what she learned, and how she can do better next time. I hope I can tell her, though, tha

36、luxurious as a steaming hot shower on a frosty winter day, but to be kind to your skin and hair, youll need to turn the nozzle (喷头) down. As it turns out, hot water dries out skin and leaves hair dry and easily broken, Sejal Shah, MD (Doctor of Medicine) in New York City, told Womens Health. And if

37、you dye (染）your hair, the color is likely to fade faster once the water gets steamy. To make matters worse, by making your skin lose natural oils, hot showersabove 99 degrees Fahrenheitmay bring about health problems. You may not like it, but the showers temperature that offers the greatest hair and

38、 skincare benefits is, well, cold.“Cold showers strengthen the contractile fibers around pores (毛孔), muscles, and hairs which improve the firmness of skin,” says Carl Thornfeldt, MD with over 30 years of skin research experience. Though many people believe hot showers open and clear pores, its actua

39、lly wiser to close them. “Closing pores helps keep pollution from getting into the skin, at least temporarily.”The benefits of cold showers are numerous, but surely we cant be expected to stand under cold water shivering every day especially in winter not to mention that too cold (below the bodys average temperature of 96.6 degrees Fahrenheit) is also bad. Fortunately, Dr. Thornfeldt recommends a happy medium. “The best solution
