In the 20th century, a better way was found. Sound was used to measure the ocean. An American Navy ship sailed into a narrow area of water to do an experiment. Seamen dropped some equipment that would produce a loud noise

Research Is a State of Mind

① For many years, there has been much misunderstanding as to just what research is. The popular belief seems to be that there is something mysterious (神秘 的))about it and every research requires expensive scientific equipment. Actually, this is not so, Research isn't a physical thing at all; it's a state of mind. It is a simple, organized way of trying to accomplish something you wish to do.

②You start by selecting the problem you would like to solve, and then you list at least ten reasons why it has not been solved. But in selecting the problem, you need to be sure that it is worth the effort. Remember, it takes just as much effort to solve a useless problem as a useful one.

③ After carefully selecting the problem and the ten things between you and the solution, you then use the same procedure as in solving a crossword puzzle (填字游戏). You start with the less serious difficulties, and eventually you arrive at the one or two maior ones. In the solution of the remaining difficulties, you may need some simple equipment, but what you need most is patience. Few people realize how hard it is to do anything new.

④Maybe one of the reasons people are so easily discouraged is because of their education. During all our years at school, we were examined two or three times a year. If we failed once, we were out. However, all research work is 99,9% failure and, if we succeed once, we are in. If we are going to make progress, we must learn to fail intelligently so that we won't become discouraged at the 99.9% failure.

Many Ways of Life

All over the world, people do many of the same things necessary in order to live, yet in different ways.

Along the Amazon River, people live in river houses. Many South American Indians live in grass huts, and Eskimos may live in snow houses. You may be living in an apartment building several stories high. 26

People live in different places, and they eat different foods 27 For instance, sea spiders (蜘蛛) are caught for food in Japan. You may have eaten a sea spider, too, in the form of a seafood cold dish. In the United States, you may buy your hunch from a hotdog stand.28 But there, a native seller may sell you a hotdog that is actually a piece of dog meat

29 Yet the Indians there have found a way to take the poison out from the plant and use the plant to make flour. From the flour, they make the bread, which is major food all over South America.

Much of the food you eat probably comes from your local supermarket.30 But an Indonesian on the island of Bali may wait much longer for a meal. There, a sticky(粘性的) liquid is spread on the end of a long pole. Then it is held up in the air until dragonflies(蜻蜓) come along and are stuck in the sticky iqu In this way, a meal is done.

A. And much of that may need only to be heated before it is ready to eat.

B. Yet sometimes, they may eat the same foods
