James Watt had made the worlds first widely used steam engine (蒸氣機). He had no way of tel

10、ling people exactly how powerful it was, for at that time there were no units for measuring power. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He called that unit one horsepower. With this unit he could measure the work his steam engine could do. He discovered tha

11、t a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horsepower engine.21. The selection says that Watt made the first _.A. engin

He studied the observations of comets (彗星) which other scientists had made. The orbit (運行軌道) of one particular comet was a very difficult mathematical

14、 problem. He could not figure it out. Neither could other scientists who dealt with such problems. However, Halley had a friend named Newton, who was a brilliant (有才華的) mathematician. Newton thought he had already worked out that problem, but he could not find the papers on which he had done it. He

15、told Halley that the orbit of a comet had the shape of an ellipse (橢圓). Now Halley set to work. He figured out the orbits of some of the comets that had been observed by scientists. He made a surprising discovery. The comets that had appeared in the years 1531, 1607, and 1682 all had the same orbit.

16、 Yet their appearances had been 75 to 76 years apart (相隔). This seemed very strange to Halley. The different comets followed the same orbit. The more Halley thought about it, the more he thought that there had not been three different comets, as people thought. He decided that they had simply seen t

17、he same comet three times. The comet had gone away and had come back again. It was an astonishing idea! Halley felt certain enough to make a prediction of what would happen in the future. He decided that this comet would appear in the year 1758. There were 53 years to go before Halleys prediction co

18、uld be tested. In 1758 the comet appeared in the sky. Halley did not see it, for he had died some years before. Ever since then that comet has been called Halleys comet, in his honor.24.
