第二十一篇： 
discovery 发现
diane ackerman迪安.阿克曼 (无忧教育网 www.51education.net)

the word “discovery” literally means, uncovering something that’s hidden from view. but what really happens is a change in the viewer. the familiar offers comfort few can resist, and fewer still want to disturb. but as relatively recent inventions such as the telescope and microscope have taught us, the unknown has many layers. every truth has geological strata, and you can’t have an orthodoxy without a heresy.
the moment a newborn opens its eyes, discovery begins. i learned this with a laugh one morning after delivering a calf. when it lifted up its fluffy head and looked at me, its eyes held the absolute bewilderment of the newly born. a moment before it had the even black nowhere of the womb, and suddenly its world was full of colour, movement and noise. i’ve never seen anything so shocked to be alive. (无忧教育网 www.51education.net)

　　“发现”一词，字面上是指揭开某种视线以外的隐藏的事物。不过其实是观察者自身发生了变化。很少人能抗拒熟悉事物带来的舒适，愿意扰乱这种舒适的人更少。然而，正如望远镜、显微镜这些较为近期的发明所揭示给我们的，求知事物具有多种层次。每个事实都有地质层次，没有异端也就无所谓正统。
　　新生儿睁开双眼的那一刻起，发现也就开始了。我是在一天清晨给一头小牛犊接生的时候突然意识到这一点的，不禁大笑。小牛仰起毛茸茸的脑袋看着我，目光中透出这个新生命对世界的一无所知。片刻这前，它还呆在母体里某个黑暗而平静的地方，突然，它的世界变得五光十色，变得活泼而喧闹。我从未见过任何东西在获得生命时是如些的惊异。 (无忧教育网 www.51education.net)

第二十二篇：
to all my friends and loved ones
love from me
useful perspective
致朋友们以及我所爱的人们
这是一份爱的礼物
也是一席金玉良言

第二十三篇：
genius at work 天才在工作 (无忧教育网 www.51education.net)

　henry ford didn’t always pay attention in school. one day ,he and a friend took a watch apart. angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch. but the teacher did not know young ford’s genius. in ten minutes, this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home..
ford was always interested in how things worked. he once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire. then he waited to see what would happen. the water boiled and, of course, turned to steam. since the steam had no way to escape, the teapot exploded. the explosion cracked a mirror and broke a window. the young inventor was badly scalded
ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. he dreamed of a horseless carriage. when he built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.
亨利.福特在学校里常常心不在焉。有一天，他和一个小朋友把一块手表拆开了。老师很生气，让他们放学后留下来，把表修好才能回家。当时这位老师并不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分钟，这位机械奇才就把手表修好，走在回家的路上了。
　福特对各种东西的工作原理总是很感兴趣。曾有一次，他把茶壶嘴用东西堵住，然后把茶壶放在火炉上。他便站在一边等候着会出现什么情况。当然，水开后变成了水蒸气。因为水蒸气无处逸出，茶壶便爆炸了，因而打碎了一面镜子和一扇窗户。这个小发明家也被严重地烫伤了。
　多年后，福特的好奇心和他的动手能力使他得到了回报。他曾经梦想着去制造一辆无马行进的车。他造成了一辆这样的车后，运输界发生了永久性的变化。(无忧教育网 www.51education.net)
