专业好文档 During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make you life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr.Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning, but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.

Most great inventors in the capitalist society meet with much opposition to their inventions from the people who place their own interests before those of the people. Big monopolies try to buy inventions and turn them to their own profits. When they fail, they resort to other tricks. Inventors have to overcome thousands of difficulties put in their path before they can see their dreams realized.
在资本主义社会里大多数伟大的发明家都遭到很多反对势力的阻挠，这些反对的人都是以自我利益为中心的。大的金融寡头们试图买断发明来谋取自身利益。但他们失败的时候，又会使出其他诡计。发明家想要看到自己的梦想实现，就必须克服途中数以千计的困难。
专业好文档 When George Stephenson was experimenting with the stream engine, there was much opposition from the Parliament, the newspaper, and landlords. They claimed that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.
当乔治.斯蒂芬试验蒸汽机的时候，国会、报纸、地主们都极力反对。他们抱怨蒸汽机的噪音和废气会将牛、马、羊致死，还谣言说机器会爆炸，要么就是机器烧过的热媒会将他们的房子烧着。
So it was a very difficult matter for George Stephenson to persuade the people that trains could go on smooth rails, could pull carriages and wagons full of people and goods, and that there was no great danger of accidents.
即使火车可以在平滑的轨道上行驶，可以拉装满货物还有人的车厢，还有极低的意外事故风险，但是无论乔治.斯蒂芬还是很难说服那些反对人们。
However, he was able to do it, and the first train driven by Stephenson himself showed that the newly invented steam engine was a complete success.

As a young girl, Elizabeth Barrett (Browning英国作家勃朗宁) ruptured a blood vessel on the lungs which did not heal. The physician consigned her to a milder climate for the winter and she went Devonshire for restoration. Among the members of her family who accompanied her to those healing shores was her eldest brother.For a whole year they lived side by side in affectionate companionship, she all the while being greatly benefited by mild sea breezes of Torquay.

One summer morning her brother went board a small sailboat with two friends for a trip of several hours around the coast. Just as the vessel came in sight of the window where Miss Barrett sat watching, the boat struck a sunken reef; and all who were in it went down and perished in the sea, before assistant could be rendered. None of the bodies were ever found although the whole village, full of sympathy, assembled in search. This was the tragedy which utterly prostrated for some years afterwards the health and soul of Elizabeth Barrett. Somehow she felt that she herself had in some measure been the cause of all this horror, and she suffered accordingly. Her whole being seemed shattered, and a year longer elapsed before, she was able to be more to London. This fatal event, which so saddened her youth gave also a still deeper devotional feeling to hue of sorrow so apparent in many of her earlier pieces.
一个夏天的早上，芭蕾特的哥哥和2个朋友开始了一段几个小时的帆船环岛之旅，当他们的船正好行驶到坐在窗前的芭蕾特的视野中时，突然撞在了暗礁上，她的哥哥及两个朋友都掉到了海里淹死了，尽管附近的村民们出于同情也加入了搜救，但还是没有找到一具尸体，这场悲剧完全击垮了芭蕾特，都仍是对她身心的重创，甚至她感觉在这整个灾难中，她自己也有一些原因，因此她自身深受折磨，一年过去了，她才回到伦敦，这次致命的打击，对她幼小心灵是个极大的创伤，以致她的整个早期的作品都充满了悲伤。

电视—电子学上调制解调器带来的奇迹，使我们在自己家中可以看到和听到外面世界。而“电视”这个词是指看得远。
Television works in much the same way as radio. In radio, sound is changed into electromagnetic (invisible light) waves which are sent through the air. Experiments leading to modern television took place more than a hundred years ago. By the 1920s inventors and researchers had turned the early theories into working models.Yet it took another thirty years for TV to become an industry.
电视和收音机的工作原理是一样的。在广播电台，声音被转换成可通过空气发送的电磁波。关于现代电视的实验研究开始于一百多年前。到了20世纪20年代，发明家和研究人员开始利用早期的理论来制造模型。又过了三十年才开始电视的工业生产。
The influence of TV on the life of people is incalculable: it can influence their thoughts and their way of life. It can also add to their store of knowledge. Educational TV stations offer teaching in various subjects. Some hospitals use TV for medical students to get close-up views of operations. At first television programs were broadcast in black-and -white. With the development of science and technology, the problem of how to telecast them in full color was solved and by the middle 1960s the national networks were broadcasting most of their programs in color.
电视对人民生活的影响是无法估量的：可以影响人们的思想和生活方式，也可增加人们的知识量。教育电视台可提供各个学科的知识。有些医院利用电视让医学生可以近距离观看到手术操作。早期的电视节目是黑白的。随着科学技术的发展，如何播出彩色节目这个问题得到解决。到20世纪60年代中期播出的电视节目大部分都是彩色的了。
The programs that people watch are not only local and national ones. Since the launching of the first communications satellite, more and more programs are telecast \ Olympic Games in Tokyo. And live telecasts now come from outer space. In 1969, the first astronauts to land on the moon televised their historic \earth. Since then, astronauts have regularly sent telecast to the earth.
人们看到的电视节目不仅是当地的和国内的了。第一颗通信卫星发射以后，人们可以看到越来越多的世界各地的直播节目。在旧金山的人们能够观看到在东京举行的1964年的奥运会。现在可以看到来自外层空间的直播节目了。1969年，地球上的观众可以看到宇航员第一次登月并行历史性的“月亮行走”的电视直播。此后，宇航员已可定期向地球传送电视信号。

The seriously depressed person sees himself in a very negative way. He is sure that he is alone and hopeless. He often blames himself for ordinary faults and shortcomings which he exaggerates. He is very discouraged about himself, the world, and his future. He becomes less
专业好文档 interested in what is going on around him and doesn't get satisfaction from things he used to enjoy. Fatigue and early morning sleeplessness are quite common. The depressed person may want to sleep more than usual. He may lose his appetite and lose weight, or eat more than normally and gain weight. Another particular sign, seen in women, is crying spells. Many of these spells are short and common.
严重忧郁的人通常都会很消极地看待自己。他确信自己是孤独无望的。他经常责备自己所犯的错误和自己将其夸大的缺点，对自己对世界，对将来毫无信心，开始对自己身边的事情缺乏兴趣并对自己之前说乐于从事的事情感到不满。疲劳以及凌晨的失眠对于他们来说见怪不怪。抑郁的人通常想要更多的睡眠，他可能会没有食欲而导致体重下降，或者因为吃太多而导致体重增加。还有一个很明显的迹象就是抱怨，通常在女性身上看得到的，而大部分这样的抱怨都是很简短而平常的。
Depressives share the feeling that they have lost something very important to them, though often this is not really the case. From a feeling of loss, the depressed person progresses to false ideas that he is a loser and will always be a loser, that he must be worthless and perhaps not fit to live. He may even attempt suicide.
忧郁是当人们失去对于自身来说很重要的东西的时候说产生的一种情感，尽管那些东西根本不算什么。由于这样一种失落感，忧郁的人们会错误的认为自己是一个失败者而且将永远是个失败者，认为自己是没有意义的或许不适合活在人世。这样的人可能会尝试自杀行为。
So many very depressed people attempt suicide that depressive illness may be considered the only fatal mental illness. Not all those suffering from depressive illness do attempt suicide. But the relationship is striking. It is estimated that as many as 75 percent of those who attempt suicide are seriously depressed. Other studies show that the person hospitalized for depression is about 36 times more likely to commit suicide than is the non-depressed person. The greatest risk occurs during or immediately after hospitalization. After age 40, the possibility of suicide increases in very depressed person. Almost twice as many women as men suffer from depressive illness. Almost twice as many women as men attempt suicide, but three times more men than women succeed.
很多的忧郁的人企图自杀表明忧郁症是最危险的精神病。并不是说所有精神病患者都企图自杀，但是这个因果关系是引人注目的，据预测，有75%患抑郁症的人因为严重忧郁而企图自杀。另外有研究表明，抑郁症患者比正常人想要自杀的可能次数多出36. 这样冒险的事情经常是发生在住院治疗期间或者住院治疗的初始阶段。年过40岁抑郁的人自杀可能性更大。女人患有抑郁的可能性以及因为抑郁而自杀的可能性均比男人的高两倍，但是男人自杀的成功率是女人的3倍。

It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferryman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger's figure.
时间还不到十一点,一艘只载着一位客人的小船驶过了小河.在答应多付些船费后,这位客人才能在这个不平常的时间里找到渡船.当那个站在岸头的年轻人在兜里掏钱时,船夫借着月色,点亮一个灯笼,仔细打量着这个陌生人.
He was a young man of barely eighteen years, evidently country bred, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one.
他是个不到18岁的年轻人,在乡村长大,似乎这次是他第一次进城.他穿着一件粗糙的灰色外套,样式挺好看的,不过看似年代久远.
The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad's father.
外套下是一件缝得很好的皮衣,蓝色纱质袜子(似乎出自母亲或姐姐之手)将他结实的大腿紧紧地包裹着.他头上戴着一顶三角帽,看起来这顶帽子曾经为他的父亲遮挡过风雪.
