槍小巧好使,又有必要的威懾力。我買下了槍。在同一天,我弄到了6發(fā)包著塑料頭、一撞擊就崩碎的特別的子彈。這些子彈不是打靶練習(xí)用的,是防身用的?;舜蠹s50美元,我還買了個金屬安全盒。如果知道正確的暗碼,它的按鈕式鎖一碰就開,大概比伸手去床頭柜抽屜取它只慢一兩秒鐘。我知道兒子喬丹拿不到它,但我拿得到。我把槍拿回家,喬丹興奮得不得了。他不停地拿起來看,我緊張地瞧著。但我相信,知識仍是我們最有力的防范手段。由于我主張對孩子進行性知識教育、艾滋病知識教育以及讓孩子學(xué)會開車,我不能不贊成教兒子關(guān)于槍的知識。隨后,我攜槍帶著兒子去射擊場。我給喬丹租了一支0.22口徑的手槍。(0.38口徑的手槍他擺弄不了。)10分鐘后他放下了槍,我不禁松了口氣——他不喜歡握槍的感覺。但他并不因此不來問我,如果我不在家時有人闖入+他能不能使用手槍。我大喝一聲“不行!”,喊聲響得把我們兩人都嚇得跳了起來。我解釋說,要是真有人闖入,他人小,又靈活,完全可以跳窗逃命。如今他對那支槍早沒了興趣。兩人在我的臥室一起看電視時,我常常練習(xí)開啟安全盒,喬丹替我計時。我已經(jīng)快到只需要3秒鐘了。我會問他,拿槍時第一件要做的事是什么,他像看傻瓜似的看著我,說:“要看看子彈是不是沒上膛。不過我不會去碰它,也不會跟朋友們說的?!眴痰屢呀?jīng)厭倦了。而我則盼著每個星期一——射擊場的“女士專場”——我可以免費練習(xí)射擊。我在柜臺上買一盒子彈、幾個靶子,戴上護眼罩和護耳罩,穿過雙層門,來到射擊區(qū)。到了那兒,我把子彈裝上膛,看著槍管上的瞄準(zhǔn)器調(diào)整瞄準(zhǔn)方向。我對著25英尺開外的真人大小的靶子的胸部連發(fā)6彈。隨著一發(fā)發(fā)子彈洞穿對面畫著的圖像,我意識到,自己正在習(xí)慣擁有槍支,拿槍時不再害怕了。槍的重量握在手里已覺得挺舒服。我堅守堅持練習(xí)的諾言。太多的人由于不知如何使用槍而死在自己的槍下。我花了好多年才決定買槍,又花了好幾個星期才學(xué)會把子彈裝上膛。槍讓我惡夢不斷。一天夜晚,我夢見自己醒來,發(fā)現(xiàn)有人闖進屋子。我一把抓起槍,坐在床腳處等著。最后我看見他拐過墻角朝我走來。他很高大,把過道都堵住了——根本不可能擊不中。我不想開槍,.但我知道生死在此一搏。(4)我手指扣住扳機,最后用力一扣,在親手結(jié)束了侵入者生命的同時也慶幸自己沒有成為犧牲品。就在我決定開槍時我醒了。我如釋重負,不由得熱淚流淌,幸虧這只是個夢。我從來沒有像在買槍一事上對某種行為的后果如此反復(fù)權(quán)衡——可是,我也從來沒做過后果如此嚴重的事。'我的大多數(shù)朋友甚至不肯跟我談?wù)撨@事。他們認為,暴力只能導(dǎo)致暴力。他們或許是對的。Unit4WasEinsteinaSpaceAlien?TextAContentQuestions(P.99)Heworkedasa“TechnicalExpert,ThirdClass”.Heneededthejobtosupporthisyoungfamily.Hepublishedfiveofthemostimportantpapersinthehistoryofscience.Thisisbecausetheyprovedthatatomsandmoleculesexisted,laidthefoundationforquantummechanics,describethetheoryofspecialrelativity,andadvancedthefamousequation:E=mc2HedevelopedtheTheoryofUniversalGravitationthen.Becausehisideaswerefaraheadofotherscientistsofhistime.HemeantthatlikeotherscientistsEinsteinwasamanofhistime.Ifhehadn'tbeenborn,his1905paperswouldeventuallyhavebeenwritteninsomeformbyothers.Whatwasremarkableabout1905isthatyearasinglepersonauthoredfiveofthemostimprotantpapersinscience.Einsteinproposedin1905thatlightisparticulateandforthishewontheNobelPrizein1921.BecauseifyoudidsoyouwouldfindyourselfdisagreeingwithphisicistJamesClerkMaxwell,anAuthorityFigurewhohadprovedthatlightwasanelectomagneticwave.Hewasnotatallconcernedaboutauthority.Hehatedbeingtoldwhatwastrue.Sciencewasdinner-tableconversationintheEinsteinhouseholdwhenhewasyoung.Hisinterestinsciencecamenaturally.Hecreditedhisdiscoveriestoimaginationandendlessquestioningmoresothatotthodoxintelligence.Hestruggledtoproduceaunifiedfieldtheory,combinginggravitywithotherforcesofnature,buthefailed.HefoundEinstein'sbrainlookedmuchlikeanyother.TextOrganization(P.100)(P.100)PartsParagraphsMainIdeasPartOneParas.1-3Ayounghusbandandfather,AlbertEinsteinhactoworkhardtosupporthisfamily.PartTwoParas.4-12Einsteinmadeastonishingachievementsinphysicsandthusrevolutionizedthefield.PartThreeParas.13-21Einstein'sdiscoverieswereattributabletohisimagination,questioning,disregardforauthority,powersofconcentration,andinterestinscienee.PartFourParas.22-23Einsteinwasnotspacealien.2.(P.100)
