Archimedes and the golden crown（课堂笔记）

One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.

________________________________________________________________________________ “It’s a nice crown, isn’t it?” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold?” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.

________________________________________________________________________________ “This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do?” though t Archimedes.

________________________________________________________________________________ Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.

________________________________________________________________________________ “That’s it!” shouted Archimedes. “I know how to solve the king’s problem!”

________________________________________________________________________________ Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.

________________________________________________________________________________ Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.

________________________________________________________________________________ “Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I’m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”

________________________________________________________________________________ “The crown maker tricked me , didn’t he? What a bad man he is!” shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.

When I was seven years old, my family made me an ant farm. First , we put clean sand in a thin glass box. Then we waited for the ants to arrive.

After the ants were in the glass farm, they started to make tunnels(隧道). I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do. Each had its own job.

On the fifth day a tragedy happened. I put my face so close to the glass farm that I knocked it over.

All the tunnels fell down. Although the ants remained alive after their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was scared as I watched them give up building their tunnels to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm .

My mother said that the ants were dying of sadness . They simply could not stand that their tunnels were gone.

Although much time has passed , I still think of that ant farm. Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world , but it taught me much more.

Over the years, I came to realize the importance of teamwork . Working together , the ants were able to make an amazing world for themselves . I also learned that they should be admired for their hard word.

But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: adversity is a natural part of life , and must be accepted . Unlike the ants ,we cannot give up when we are sad . We have to realize that if a tunnel is gone , we must building another .

Giving up , I say , is not a good choice.
