unit-4----the-professor-and-the--Yo-yo
Unit 4:Seen through the eyes of a young friend Einstein was a simple, modest[谦虚的] and ordinary man.The professor and the Yo-yoMy father was a close friend of Albert Einstein. As a shy young visitor to Einstein's home, I was made to feel at ease【感到自在】when Einstein said, "I have something to show you." He went to his desk and returned with a Yo-Yo. He tried to show me how it worked but he couldn't make it roll back up the string【绳子】. When my turn came【轮到我的时候】, I displayed my few tricks【技巧】and pointed out【指出】to him that the incorrectly【错误地】looped string had thrown the toy off balance. Einstein nodded【点头】, properly【非常】impressed by my skill and knowledge. Later, I bought a new Yo-Yo and mailed it to the Professor as a Christmas present, and received a poem【诗】of thanks.As boy and then as an adult, I never lost my wonder【钦佩】at the personality【人格】that was Einstein. He was the only person I knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him. He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this: to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe【宇宙】and the logic 【逻辑】and simplicity【简单】in its functioning【功能】. He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach【所能到达的范围】. But this did not frustrate[使沮丧] him. He was content【满足的】to go as far ashe could.In the 23 years of our friendship, I never saw him show jealousy【嫉妒】, vanity【虚荣】, bitterness【痛苦】, anger, resentment【愤恨】, or personal ambition【野心】. He seemed immune【免疫的】to these emotions【情感，情绪】. He was beyond any pretension【假装】. Although he corresponded【联系】with many of the world's most important people, his stationery【文具】carried only a watermark【水印】- W - for Woolworth's.To do his work he needed only a pencil only a pencil and a pad of【一叠】paper. Material things meant nothing to him. I never knew him to carry money because he never had any use for it. He believed in【相信，信仰】simplicity, so much so that he used only a safety razor【刮胡刀】and water to shave. When I suggested that he try shaving cream【刮胡子涂的……】, he said, "The razor and water do the job.""But Professor, why don't you try the cream just once?" I argued. "It makes shaving smoother【更平滑】and less painful."He shrugged【耸肩】. Finally, I presented him with a tube of shaving cream. The next morning when he came down to breakfast, he was beaming[笑容满面] with the pleasure of a new, great discovery. "You know, that cream really works," he announced. "It doesn't pull the beard. It feels wonderful." Thereafter【此后】, he used the shaving cream every morning until the tube was empty. Then he reverted【恢复到】to usingplain【普通的】water.Einstein was purely and exclusively【高级的】a theorist【学说创立人】. He didn't have the slightest interest in the practical application of his ideas and theories. His E=mc2 is probably the most famous equation 【等式】in history - yet Einstein wouldn't walk down the street to see a reactor create atomic【原子能的】energy. He won the Nobel Prize for his Photoelectric Theory, a series of equations that he considered relatively【相对地】minor【较小】in importance, but he didn't have any curiosity in observing how his theory made TV possible.My brother once gave the Professor a toy, a bird that balanced on the edge【在……的边缘】of a bowl of water and repeatedly【不断地】dunked its head in the water. Einstein watched it in delight【愉快地】, trying to deduce【推断】the operating principle【原理】. But be couldn't.The next morning he announced, "I had thought about that bird for a long time before I went to bed and it mu st work this way…" He began a long explanation. Then he stopped, realizing a flaw[漏洞] in his reasoning. "No, I guess that's not it," he said. He pursued【继续……】various【各种各样的】theories【理论】for several days until I suggested we take the toy apart to see how it did work. His quick expression【表情】of disapproval【不肯定，不支持】told me he did not agree with this practical approach【方法】. He never did work out the solution.Another puzzle【疑惑】that Einstein could never understand washis own fame【名望】. He had developed theories that were profound 【内涵深刻的】and capable of exciting relatively few scientists. Yet his name was a household word across the civilized【文明的】world. "I've had good ideas, and so have other men," he once said. "But it's been my good fortune【运气】that my ideas have been accepted." He was bewildered【为难，手足无措】by his fame: people wanted to meet him; strangers stared at him on the street; scientists, statesmen, students, and housewives wrote him letters. He never could understand why he received this attention, why he was singled out as something special.Unit4 The Professor and the Yo-Yo 在一个年轻朋友的心目中，爱因斯坦是个纯朴、谦虚的普通人。

人教版高中英语新教材选择性必修一Unit 4课文文本和翻译LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK倾听身体的诉说We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, but the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.在与他人交流时，我们既使用言语也通过身势语来表达我们的想法和观点。
通过观察别人的身势语，我们可以了解很多他们的想法。
言语固然重要，但是人们站立、握紧手臂、移动双手的方式也能帮助我们了解他们的情绪。
Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into someone’s eyes—in some countries is a way to display interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.就像口头语言一样，身势语因文化而异。

美国文化的五大象征自由女神像Para. 119 世纪 70 年代中期，法国艺术家弗里德里克·奥古斯特·巴托尔迪正在设计一个大项目，名为“自由照耀世界”。
这是一座庆祝美国独立和美法联盟的纪念碑。
与此同时，他爱上了一位他在加拿大认识的女子。
他母亲不赞成自己的儿子和一个她没有见过的女子恋爱，然而巴托尔迪不为所动，和心中所爱于 1876 年结为伉俪。
Para. 2同年，巴托尔迪组装完雕像的右臂和火炬，并将它们陈列在费城。
据说，他用了妻子的手臂为模本，但觉得她的脸太漂亮，不适合做雕像模本。
他需要这样一个女人：面容沧桑却不失坚定，庄重多于美丽。
他选择了自己的母亲。
Para. 3 1886 年，自由女神像在纽约湾北部落成。
雕像综合了他母亲的脸和他妻子的身材，不过巴托尔迪称之为“我的女儿，自由之神”。
芭比娃娃Para. 4在现今销售的各式各样的芭比娃娃之前，原先只有一种芭比娃娃。
实际上，她的名字叫芭芭拉。
Para. 5芭芭拉·汉德勒是马特尔玩具公司的联合创始人艾略特和鲁思·汉德勒夫妇的女儿。
鲁思是在见到女儿玩纸娃娃之后才想到做芭比娃娃的。
芭比娃娃的三维模特是一个德国洋娃娃，一个哄成年人开心的礼物，被描绘成具有“风尘女子”的模样。
马特尔公司将这个娃娃做了一番改造，变成了体面而地道的美国版本，尽管胸围有些夸张。
它以当时10 多岁的少女芭芭拉的名字命名。
Para. 6自从1959 年面世，芭比娃娃就成了全球公认的“娃娃女王”。
马特尔公司说，一般的美国女孩拥有 10 个芭比娃娃，全球每秒钟就有两个芭比娃娃售出。
Para. 7如今芭芭拉已有 60 多岁了，她拒绝接受采访，但据说她非常喜欢芭比娃娃。
