He wondered how Father Christmas would know what to bring him if he didnt know himself.As he was sitting up in bed, Bunny heard a big noise on the roof (屋顶) and a sound downstairs. It
19、 was Father Christmas, he realized. Bunny jumped out of bed and raced down the hall to the stairs hoping to have a look at the old man with his own eyes.By the time Bunny reached the bottom of the stairs, though, everything was again silent. Beautiful gifts were piled (堆积) under the Christmas tree,
20、but Father Christmas was gone. He looked for him for a few minutes, but it was already too late.

25、 their search for the truth.Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didnt stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a lo
26、ng needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another occasion he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped suffering permanent
27、damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered.In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷).

34、ind out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue(疲劳). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all!

35、e toxins(毒素)and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxins at the end of the day.

Hadfield, says, “The greater part of the fatigue from which we suffer is of mental origin. In fact, fat

He declares, “One hundred percent of the fatigue of a sitting worker in good health is due to emotional problems. ”What kinds of emotions make sitting workers tired? Joy? Satisfaction? No! A feeling o
38、f being bored, anger, anxiety, tenseness, worry, a feeling of not being appreciatedthose are the emotions that tire sitting workers. Hard work by itself seldom causes fatigue.
