It made me wonder why he always seemed so happy.Having observed Jo

16、e with other people, I noticed something else too. Joe asked people how they were going, and really seemed to listen to their answers. He showed pity to someone who was hurting, and had kind words, and offered to help in any way he could.It made me think. What if I tried to smile more? An experiment

17、 began when I went to the supermarket. I smiled as I went up and down the supermarket and people I didnt even know smiled back at me. Some even spoke!

S

23、ometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.Charles Darwin didnt settle for(满足于) just thinking he knew something. And he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the

24、 same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets.What happens？You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it could

25、nt be worth anything.But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present day understandings of physics that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton.

31、teria (自助餐厅) food will be delicious! You just walk up to a machine, stick out your tongue, and it will scan your taste buds (味蕾) to see what you want to eat.
