Have you ever wondered how we know the things that we know? How do we know that the stars are really huge balls of fire like the Sun and very far away? And how do we know that the Earth is a smaller ball turning round one of those stars, the Sun?
The key to those questions is“ evidence\证据). Sometimes evidence means actually seeing (or hearing, feeling, smelling…) that something is true. Astronauts have travelled far enough from the Earth to see with their own eyes that it is round. Sometimes our eyes need help The\in the sky, but with a telescope( 望远镜 ) you can see that it is a beautiful ball. Something that you learn by direct seeing(or hearing or feeling… )is called an observation(观察)
Often evidence isn't just observation on its own, but observation always hides at the back of it. If there's been a murder, often nobody(except the murderer and the dead person!)actually observed it. But
detectives(侦探)can gather together lots of other observations which may all point towards the suspect(嫌疑犯). If a person’s finger- prints match those found on a knife, this is evidence that he touched it. It doesn't prove(证明)that he did the murder, but it can help when it's joined up with lots of other evidence.
Prediction helps to look for evidence. Scientists make a guess about what might be true. For example, if the world is really round, we can predict that any of us, going on and on in the same direction, should eventually find ourselves back where we started People sometimes say that you must believe in feelings deep inside, but not all the inside feelings are real
evidence.
What can we do about all this? When somebody tells you something that sounds possible, think to yourself: \say to them: What kind of evidence is there for that? \a word.
1．Why does the writer use the example of a detective in Paragraph 3? A．To explain what prediction is B．To tell what observation is called C．To introduce how detectives work. D．To prove evidence is not just observation
2．The underlined \ A．probably B．finally C．completely D．luckily 3．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．Prediction helps to prove something if it is true. B．What you see directly is real evidence
C．People should always believe their inside feelings D．Astronauts find the Earth is round with a telescope. 4．what's the best title of the passage? A．Evidence speaks
B．Scientists make predictions C．Inside feelings help get ideas D．Observation offers the facts

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it is taken out. Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.
Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called \became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were
using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him.
Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.

18、Long ago, there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well-known for his wide knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn things from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.
One day a student asked him, “My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself had many more questions about things than we did? On the contrary, we students have far more than you.” With a smile, the teacher drew two circles—one as a big wheel, the other smaller.
“Of course, I’ve learned much more. But a teacher does not necessarily have fewer questions than his students. Now look at these two circles. Within the big one is my knowledge of things, and within the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, the line that marks out the circle is longer. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And
that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn, the more questions you have. You never learn enough, you know.”
