Scientists study the natural world by using the \scientist observes some phenomenon(现象)in nature he develops an idea, called a theory or hypothesis(假设). Then he does an experiment to test his hypothesis. If the results are as expected, then the experiment confirms the hypothesis. If the experiment fails and the results are not as expected, then the experiment disproves the hypothesis and the scientist must come up with a new theory to test.
In ancient times great thinkers came up with complex theories to explain nature, but did not always prove them by experiment. For example, the great Greek thinker Aristotle, for centuries, had a theory that heavy objects would fall faster than light objects until the scientist Galileo performed an experiment and found it had been wrong.
Here's an experiment that you can use to prove or disprove a common-sense theory:
17
STEP 1: Obtain an empty bottle with a small neck. A diameter of 1/2 inch should be perfect.
STEP 2 : Cut a sheet of notebook paper to a square five inches on each side. STEP 3 : Crumple(揉皱) the paper into a tight wad (团).
STEP 4 : Lay the bottle on its side and place the paper so it lies loosely(松松地) in the neck of the bottle.
Construct a theory about what will happen if you blow hard towards it. A common-sense theory might be that the wad would be blown into the bottle. Now conduct your experiment to see what really happens.
If your theory is that the wad would be blown into the bottle, your experiment probably will give you unexpected results. In most cases the wad is blown out of the neck of the bottle in the opposite direction. A new theory might be that wind rushing into the bottle creates a whirlwind(旋风) of air currents(气流) in the closed space pushing the wad out.

A. explain the secret of nature B. teach us how to do an experiment
C. show the importance of experiments D. call on people to learn from scientists 62. The underlined word \A. develops B. shows C. produce D. proves
63. Aristotle made a mistake in his theory probably because .
A. theories change as time passes B. he didn't prove it by doing experiments C. he depended on common-sense too much D. he was less experienced than Galileo 64. The best title for this text could be . A. Theory Is Based on Practice B. Testing Theories C. Challenging Your Common Sense D. Practice Makes Perfect 【答案】61. C 62. D 63. B 64. A 【解析】

‘Tribes’ everywhere have their own special language
As someone who's been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, \冰冻果露)last night,%understand what they meant?
Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.
His or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, \some money in my cab last night.\
So, what exactly is meant by \
A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe. This is a group that defines(定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own \it.
19
If you work in a certain industry---education, for example---you may use slang toords(俚 语)and acronyms(首字母缩略词)that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark in the city, that only locals would understand.
These so-called secret languages each have their own fascinating history. In the US, for example, the underground \舞厅) tribe of 1970s and 80s New York City and its language were showcased(展现) in the 2018 FX show Pose.
These secret words don't always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people's everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase \to be in a conflict\native English speakers all over the world.
As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, \languages, full of history and stories and in-jokes(内部笑话). And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never run out.”
