The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $ 170, 000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capitals busy Yamanote Line. There has been an alarming rise in the number of people
10、 committing suicide at train stations. A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March. This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier. In 2008, Japan had nearly 2, 000 suicides by jumping in front of a train: around six percent of all suicides nationwide
11、. Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions.No one knows if the blue lights will work. There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: “We thought we had to do something to save lives. We know t
12、here is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides , but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives. “ The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki Takahashi. She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea
13、: “ We associate the color with the sky and the sea. It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide, “ she said.

17、atch, and found it was 15 minutes after four. “ John Winthrop went downstairs to the grandfather clock. It had stopped four minutes before, at 4: 11. Except for stopping the clock, the quake had only thrown a key from the mantel(壁炉台)to the floor.The clock had stopped because Winthrop had put some lo
18、ng glass tubes he was using for an experiment into the case for care. The quake had knocked the tubes over and blocked the pendulum(钟摆). Winthrop, therefore, had the exact time that the earthquake had hit Boston. He looked at the key on the floor. The quake had thrown it forward in the direction of

22、man invented was the ball.In ancient Egypt, as everywhere, pitching stones was a favorite childrens game. But a badly thrown rock could hurt a child. Looking for something less dangerous to throw, the Egyptians made what were probably the first balls.At first, balls were made of grass or leaves held
23、 together by vines. Later they were made of piece of animal skin sewed together and stuffed with feathers or hay.Even though the Egyptians were warlike, they found time for peaceful games. Before long they had developed a number of ball games, each with its own set of rules. Perhaps they played ball
24、 more for instruction than for fun.

He is, even today, a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like?Th
27、e cowboys job is clear from the word “cowboy“. Cowboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of
28、the cowboys job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much, each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses sever
29、al times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive, the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didnt stop rustlers, or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rus
30、tlers. Rusders made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid bally. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.33 The cow

Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects
33、. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of gra
34、ndparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystalclear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investiga
35、tions. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other peoples observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seem
36、s to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers , and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one the outstanding and essential qualities requir
37、ed is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.37 The author cant remember his relatives cle
