A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and pla

A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficie

String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right armtwo entirely differen

16、t movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune.

But they have their own difficulti

17、es: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion (撞击、碰撞) and each overlapping tone has to sound clear.

24、0.00)Volts From the Sky 1 Lightning has caused awe and wonder since old times. Although Benjamin Franklin demonstrated lightning as enormous electrical discharge more than 200 years ago, many puzzles still surround this powerful phenomenon. 2 Lightning is generated when electrical charges separate i

25、n rain clouds, though processes are still not fully understood. Typically, positive charges build at the cloud top, while the bottom becomes negatively charged. In most instances of cloud-to-ground lightning, the negatively charged lower portion of the cloud repels negatively charged particles on th

26、e grounds surfaces, making it become positively charged. The positive charge on the ground gathers at elevated points. A flow of electrons begins between the cloud and earth.

30、l seconds. 4 Thunder is generated by the tremendous heat released in a lightning discharge. Temperatures near the discharge can reach as high as 50,000 F within thousandths of a second. This sudden heating acts as an explosion, generating shock waves we hear as thunder. 5 About 2,000 thunderstorms a

Within the United States, lightning strikes are estimated at 20 million a year, or about 22,000 per day. You have a l-in-600,000 chance of being struck by lightning during your lifetime. Lig

38、 the happiest person in the world.“ But if we take a close look at her life, we will find her happiness is closely connected with her misfortunes. First of all, she did not have a happy childhood. 3In her research work, she had to sit up late night after night. She experienced many losses, tooshe lo

39、st her beloved father, her dear husband, and later her eyesight. But she never complained and never stopped working for the benefit of mankind. That is why her life was happy and meaningful. 4 Some people complain that their work is insignificant and thus their lives are meaningless. But what kind o

40、f work is significant? Worker, peasants, teachers, and scientists, they are all working for the welfare of mankind, themselves included. That is where the meaning of life lies. 5Once a friend of mine told me he felt very wretched for having to work as a teacher. “Our lives can be compared to candles

41、. While giving light lo others, we ourselves are burning out. Our students may become famous one day, but what will become of us? We shall only remain what we arefameless and wealthless. “Paradoxically, I would rather think he was giving a vivid description of the nobleness of a teacher. Different p

42、eople may think of life differently.

But some people seem to think little of such a life.B. She awoke to

43、the realities of life.C. When she was in France, she studied twice as hard as others but lived a poor and simple life.D.
