A
In the mornings Alain Pepin works in a surveying office,doing clerical (文书的) work,but in the afternoons and at weekends he does something much more exciting—he is an underwater stuntman (特技演员).In this week’s article he tells us what a summer day in his life is like. What time do you get up?
A summer day for me starts around 7 am.I have breakfast and ride my bike to work.I start work at 8 am.I spend all the morning in front of my network computer working until lunchtime. What do you do after work?
Well,I leave the office at 1 pm and have lunch.If the weather is fine,I pack my equipment and set off to the location of the stunt.When I get there,I set up the equipment and get into the water.This is when the fun starts.I move about in and under the water in a wetsuit and helmet performing tricks.It’s quite tiring though,because each stunt is different and takes a different length of time.A photo shoot usually takes a long time to complete because everything has to be perfect. What do you do when you are not diving?
I enjoy water-skiing,kayaking and snorkelling(带呼吸管潜泳).I spend most of my spare time,however,planning,practicing and training for my stunts. How do you like working underwater?
I love it.It can be a bit boring in the winter,though,when the weather is cold.It is difficult to get a swimming pool all to myself so I can practice.But when I’m diving,I really enjoy it.Every time I come home after work,I feel full of energy and I have a great sense of achievement.

Philo Farnsworth is not a name most people know.But his work changed the way we learn,the way we live,and even the way we think.Philo Farnsworth is responsible for one of the most important inventions of the 20th century:the television.
Philo Farnsworth was born in America in 1906.He was interested in science and technology at an early age.When he was twelve years old,he built an electric motor for his family’s washing machine.When he was fourteen,he was already giving a lot of thought to electrons (电子).As he was driving the family’s horse-drawn plowing machine,he noticed the evenly spaced rows of the potato fields.This sight gave him the idea that electrons could scan an image one row at a time—an idea that was the key to electronic television.
By the time he was twenty-one years old,Farnsworth had started his own company and had managed to build the world’s first electronic television.It was a very simple device.But after years of hard work,Farnsworth was able to introduce the kind of television we now use.
Farnsworth was a great inventor,but he lived an unhappy life.He had a legal battle with the company,Radio Corporation of America (RCA) over who the real inventor of the TV was.He won the case,but the government stopped companies from making TVs during the war,so Farnsworth didn’t make much money from the invention.
When Farnsworth was young,he imagined the television as a convenient way for distant audiences to enjoy lectures by famous professors,or entertainment by the best symphonies (交响乐) and ballets.When he was older,it became much more popular,but he was very disappointed in the silly programs on TV.He even told his own son,“There’s nothing on it worthwhile,and we’re not going to watch it in this household.”
