24、s not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for a few coppers（铜钱） .The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip（条） of vellum（牛皮纸） on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”! The touch

25、stone was a small pebble（小园石） that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.

So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it int

27、o the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold-throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he pic

32、 father over her desire to be more independent, British teenagers also have their troubles.

34、me with boys over the age of 15. Their sons are battling bad skin, are reluctant(不情愿的 ) to speak, and just like girls over 14 are little interested in their studies. Seven out of ten parents said their s ons become frustrated(挫败的 ) when they are not understood . Unsurprisingly, it isnt just British

41、 on air and carried college students across their campus. In Japan, a whisper-quiet railway engine hovered and raced at 350 miles per hour using magnets and electricity as the power. And in China, a magnet train line linked Shanghai with nearby Pudong Airport. These trains use magnetic levitation (悬

42、浮 ) technology, “maglev” for short. They use the same rules as the magnets you pick up at home or school: opposite poles of magnets attract each other, and like poles repel each other.

43、agnet-filled guiding way. With a magnetic field of sufficient force, the train will go hovering on air, which seemed impossible to us in the past.
