1、Exercise One In order to learn to be ones true self,it is necessary to obtain a wide and extensive knowledge of what has been said and done in the world;critically to inquire into it;carefully to ponder over it;clearly to sift it;and earnestly to carry it out.It matters not what you learn,but when y

2、ou once learn a thing,you must never give up until you have mastered it.It matters not what you inquire into,but when you inquire into a thing,you must never give it up until you have thoroughly understand it.It matters not what you try to think out,but once you try to think out a thing,you must nev

3、er give it up until you have got what you want.It matters not what you try to sift out,but when you once try to sift out a thing,you must never give it up until you have sifted out clearly and distinctly.It matters not what you try to carry out,but when you once try to carry out a thing,you must nev

4、er give it up until you have done it thoroughly and well.If another man succeeds by one effort,you will use a hundred efforts.If another man succeeds by ten efforts,you will use a thousand efforts.为了学会做一个真实的自我，你必须深入和广泛的理解全人类的言行，敏锐的探究它，细心的揣摩它，仔细的考察它，并且严肃认真的去践行它。学什么并不重要，然而，一旦你学习某一东西的时候，就必须完全掌握它。探究什么并不

5、重要，然而，一旦你探究某一事物的时候，就必须彻底的理解它。思考什么并不重要，然而，一旦你思考某一事物的时候，就必须获得自己想要的东西。考察什么并不重要，然而，一旦你考察某一事物的时候，就必须清楚的理解它。践行什么并不重要，然而，一旦你去做某件事的时候，就必须完全彻底的做好它。如果别人能够以一分的努力获得成功，你要拿出百分的努力来。如果别人能够以十分的努力获得成功，你要拿出千分的努力来。Exercise Two Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man:since re

6、cords began to be written down,it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities(死亡)have numbered in the millions,and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation.The greater part of such damage and loss of life had been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rocks

11、ubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether,but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood,man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.地震可以理所当然被列入其中一个最具破坏力:记录以来人类已知开始被写下来,据估计,与地震活

12、动有关的死亡(死亡)上被数以百万计,与地震活动有关的破坏已经超越的计算。大部分的这种造成的伤害及生命的损失已经由于坍塌的建筑物的影响,洪水,火灾,崩落、海啸、和其他疾病导因于地震观测到的事件,而不是从地震本身。绝大部分的所有地震发生在两个特定的地理区域。这样的一个区域覆盖了太平洋和它的海岸边的陆地。其他的延伸从东印度人对阿特拉斯山脉,包括喜马拉雅山、伊朗、土耳其和高山的地区。它是在这两个伟大的腰带或区,90%的地震发生的事;,但是他们完全可以发生在任何地方在任何时间。这个元素未知有几个世纪以来很大的增加了死亡和恐惧周边地震”,但在最近的几次,已经有迹象表明,地震预测预报是有可能的。通过分析动物

14、ists timekeeping methods.For this reason,scientists are interested in devices that give promise of more precise timekeeping.In their search for precision,scientists have turned to atomic clocks that depend on various vibrating atoms or molecules to supply their“ticking”.This is possible because each

15、 kind of atom or molecule has its own characteristic rate of vibration.The nitrogen atom in ammonia,for example,vibrate or“ticks”24 billion times a second.One such atomic clock is so accurate that it will probably lose no more than a second in 3000 years.It will be of great importance in fields such

16、 as astronomical observation and long-range navigation.The heart of this atomichron is cesium atom that vibrates 9.2 billion times a second when heated to the temperature of boiling water.An atomic clock that operates with an ammonia molecule may be used to check the accuracy of predictions based on

17、 Einsteins relativity theories,according to which a clock in motion and a clock at rest should keep time differently.Placed in an orbiting satellite moving at a speed of 18,000 miles an hour,the clock could broadcast its time readings to a ground station,where they would be compared with the reading

18、s on a similar model Whatever differences develop would be checked against the differences predicted.科学观测的精度与计算结果总是摆布的科学家的计时方法。因为这个原因,科学家们感兴趣的装置,给的承诺更精确的计时。在他们的搜索精度,科学家已经转向原子的时钟,依靠各种振动原子或分子提供他们的“滴答”。这是有可能的,因为每一种原子或分子具有自身的特点率的振动。氨氮原子振动,例如,”或“蜱 240 亿次一秒钟。这样的一个原子时钟是如此精确,它可能会输球不超过一秒在 3000 年。这将是非常重要的领域(如
