Ironically they are named for a 19th century scientist who invented powerful explosives that came to be used as weap
18、ons of war.Alfred Nobel, a Swedish-born chemist who died in 1896, was known by some as “The Mad Scientist,” and by others as “The Merchant of Death.” He was really pacifist, who at one time believed that his explosives could end warfare. Later, he realized that he was wrong.“High explosives will not
19、 stop men from war,” he wrote. “Nobody will benefit from my inventions except manufacturers of war materials, some generals, and diplomats.”Nobel was born in Sweden in 1833. His father was an architect and inventor who moved to Russia. With only one year formal schooling, Nobel became a chemist and
20、inventor by the age of 16.He was also excellent in languages, speaking English, Russian, German, and French in addition to Swedish. He wrote poetry. His study of explosives began with manufacturing liquid nitroglycerin for use in mining and construction. But in 1864, the factory blew up, killing his
21、 youngest brother and four others. He then discovered that liquid nitroglycerin could be dried and handled safely to be a mixture, which can explode.He called the mixture dynamite, after the Greek word dynamis, meaning “power.” He then perfected a more powerful form of dynamite that made him a multi
22、millionaire. When he died, his fortune was about $9 million.Nobel never married, and he left his fortune to what has since become known as the Nobel Prizes. The money is invested and the interest is given out every year as prizes for the most important work in six fields: Physics, Chemistry, Physiol

27、7.BThere are robots all around us. Some do very complicated jobs like flying airplanes and driving subway trains. and some do one simple job. When an automatic washing machine is switched on, water pours in. The machine waits until the water is warm enough for washing clothes. It does this by “feedb
28、ack”(反馈). Information about what is happening is feedback into the robot to tell what to do next. Our eyes, ears and other senses are our feedback. They tell us what is going on around us. So robots are like human beings in two ways. They work and they have feedback.In some ways robots are better th
29、an human beings. They work quickly and do not make mistakes. They do not get bored doing the same job over and over again. And they never get tired. So robots are very useful in factories. They can be taught to do many different jobs. First their electronic brain must be shown how the job is done. A
30、 person moves the robots “arms” and “hands” through each part of the job.The most intelligent robots can move and see. Their eyes are cameras.

You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once w
35、e know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, theyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, wi
36、ll answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know
37、 how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real l
38、istening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its
39、 time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you f
40、eel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.51.
