     Homesick is a compound (復(fù)合) word made up of HOME and SICK. You know what each word means
on its own, of course. But think about what the words mean when they are used together. Homesick means
SICK FOR HOME.　　
     Now think for a minute about. If you change the word home in the definition (釋義) to the word sea,
would the definition fit SEASICK? Does seasick mean SICK FOR SEA? It means something quite different.
Seasick means SICK BY THE MOVEMENT ON THE SEA. When you are homesick, the only place you want
to be at home. When you are seasick, the last place you want to he is at sea．　　
     Have you ever heard of a person being heartsick? Heart-sick doesn't mean that something is wrong with
a person's heart. People are heartsick when they are hurt deep inside and when they feel as if their hearts are
broken.　　
     But, on the other hand, we have such compound words as handshake and handbag. Perhaps you may
write definitions for them and knowing something like this must be helpful in your English study.

　　This was no ordinary class．The students who came together were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University．They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment：“an interesting week of poetry．” This class was part of a study to answer the questions：Why is science difficult for many nonscience students?What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?

　　The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes．They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers．All students noticed one thing－the importance of spoken words．In science and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard．But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked．They didn’t write anything on the board．

　　The scientists and engineers noticed one similarity between science and poetry．In both subjects, students need to find layers(層次)of meaning．Some layers are simple, clean, and on the surface; other layers are deeper and more difficult．This search for different levels of meaning doesn’t happen much in undergraduate(本科)science classes, but it is important later, in graduate school．And it is always important in humanities(人文科學(xué))．

　　Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience．One poetry instructor, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches．Most of the scientists agreed on several points．First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important．Second, the poetry class was fun．One engineer decided, “We need to change the way we teach engineering to make to make it an enjoyable experience for students．”

　　But perhaps the most important result of the experience was this; All of the professors began to think about how they teach and how they cam teach better．

(1)

What do we know about this unusual class?

[　　]

A．

The teachers did lots of writing on the board

B．

The teacher were invited to attend several lectures．

C．

The student were professors from a university

D．

The students were studying science and humanities．

(2)

The experiment was designed to find out ________．

[　　]

A．

how to teach the students in the science class

B．

whether poetry is difficult for science students

C．

what to be taught in the humanities class

D．

why many humanities students find science hard．

(3)

Finding levels of meaning is ________．

[　　]

A．

important for graduate students in humanities

B．

difficult for graduate students in humanities

C．

common for undergraduate students in science

D．

easy for undergraduate students in science．

(4)

What did the science professors learn after the experiment?

[　　]

A．

They should change the way they teach

B．

A poem could be explained in clear definitions．

C．

A poetry class could be more informative．

D．

       Will there ever be another Einstein? This is the undercurrent（潛流） of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year．A new Einstein will appear, scientists say．But it may take a long time．After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from Isaac Newton．

       Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is a baby now．That's because the search for a unified theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits．New math must be created after the problem can be solved．

       But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon．For one thing, physics is a much different field today．In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theorists who could argue with Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare．Education is different, too．One key aspect of Einstein's training that-is little noticed is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager --- Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others．It taught him how to think independently about space and time and it wasn't long before he became a philosopher himself．

       And Einstein was a clever musician．The interplay between music and math is well-known．Einstein would play his violin hard as a way to think through a knotty physics problem．

       Today, universities have produced millions of physicists．There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills．Those who stay in science don’t work alone and they sometimes do experiment together which takes years．

       It's hard to imagine a renegade（背叛者） like Einstein standing it．“Maybe there is an Einstein out there today,” said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, “but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard．”

1.According to the second paragraph, the next Einstein will ___________．

       A．have to create new math                                            B．create a unified theory

       C．have to be born now                                                D．push math to its limits

2.The underlined words “knotty” in the fourth paragraph means ____________．

       A．easy                   B．interesting           C．strange               D．difficult

3.Which of the following will be useful for the next Einstein to be born?

       A．There will be music around．

       B．There will be no problems to solve．

       C．There will be suitable philosophy to study．

       D．There are only a few physicists．

4.The bold words “unified theory” in Paragraph 2 refers to ___________．

       A．a(chǎn)greement                             B．mathematical rule

       C．unique idea                            D．physical saying
