26、eration, for he was greedy and dishonest.Be prepared for lots of _ (reject) before you land a job.答案:rejectedrejections哥白尼的革命性理论尼古拉哥白尼被吓得心烦意乱的。虽然他曾经试着不去理睬那些数字,然而他所有的数学计算都得出了一个相同的结论:地球不是太阳系的中心。只有当你把太阳放在中心位置上,天空中其他行星的运动才能说得清楚。他的这个理论可不能告诉任何人,因为即使他只暗示有这种想法,他都会受到强大的基督教教会势力的惩罚。教会认为世界是上帝创造的,正因为如此,地球就具有特殊的意
27、义,它必定要成为太阳系的中心。这样,问题就来了,因为天文学家以前发现过,天上有些行星停顿下来,往后移动,然后再成环状向前移动,而其他行星看上去有时亮些,有时又不怎么亮。如果地球是太阳系的中心,而所有行星环绕着地球转的话,那么这种现象就很奇怪了。哥白尼对这些问题曾经苦苦思索过很久,试图找出问题的答案。他曾经收集过观测星球的数据,并且利用他的全部数学知识来解释这些数据。但是只有他的新理论才能作出解释。于是,他在1510至1514年期间从事这项研究,逐步修改他的理论,直到他感到完善时为止。1514年,他把他的新理论私下里给他的朋友们看。他对旧理论的修改是具有革命性的。他把太阳固定在太阳系的中心位置上
28、,而行星则围绕着太阳转,只有月球仍然绕着地球转。他还提出地球在围绕太阳转的同时,它本身还自转,这样就说明了行星运动的变化情况以及星球的亮度问题。他的朋友都热情地鼓励他把他的想法公之于世,而他却小心谨慎,他不想遭到基督教教会势力的攻击,所以他只是在1543年临终之前才把它公布出来。当然,他小心谨慎是对的。基督教教会拒绝接受他的理论,说这种理论违背了上帝的旨意,而支持这种理论的人都会受到攻击。然而哥白尼的理论却是我们宇宙观赖以建立的基础。他的理论还改变了基督教对地心引力的看法,他们认为物体往地球上掉落是因为上帝创造了地球,而地球正是宇宙的中心。哥白尼表明这是明显错误的。如今人们可以看到,他的这些想

We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system t

But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. _2_The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or a
