I will have to do a physics and mathematics degree in China. After that I hope to go abroad to Reading University in England where yo

15、u can study all about robots. There is a special cybernetics(控制論) department there. A: What personality will be needed for that job? B: I think I need to be patient for my ideas which will take a long time to develop. I also need to be creative enough to have good ideas.,A: What experience will be m

I think designing robots sounds fun.,Answer key for Exercise 1: Possible answers include: Go to your teacher Go to a natural museum and speak to a specialist Look it up in a flower book,Listening,on

18、page 41,Answer key for Exercise 2: The correct answer is C. Summary A is not correct because it does not give enough information. Summary B is inaccurate.,Answer key for Exercise 3: Biology, book, Sweden, 1707, 1778, serious,Answer key for Exercise 4: It means that his flower has already been identi

19、fied and has a name. He would know by checking his lily against other lilies in the specialist book. If his lily is different (for example in the number of petals or stamens) it will be a new species.,All plants have two names just like people. The first is the group of flowers they belong to and is

20、 like the family name. The second is the kind of flower within that group and is like a given/personal name. Before Linnaeis there was no way of finding out whether a plant was new or not. This caused problems because different scientists claimed that they had found and named flowers first. After he

21、 organized his system it was easy to discover whether a plant was new or not and so who had the right to name it.,NAMING FLOWER,Robert Briggs (RB) is talking to Zhang Wei (ZW) about a new kind of lily he has found.,ZW: Hello Robert. Whats that book youre carrying? RB: A book that helps you identify

22、a flower. ZW: I see. Why do you want that? RB: Well, Ive found this lily. It looks different to me. So I want to find out if its new or not. Our biology teacher told me that If its already known, Id find it in this book. ZW: Wow! So you think may have found a new lily? RB: I hope so, but I have to d

23、o some research first to find out for sure.,ZW: What happens if Its in the book? RB: It means that somebody else has found it and named it. Then Ill know its biological name. ZW: What do you mean by the biological name? RB: Actually like us a flower has two names. The first is the group of flowers i

24、t belongs to-like a family name. A rose is one such group. The second is the kind of flower-like a given name. It may describe what the rose looks like; for example, the colour of an autumn sunset. Together you get the flowers name, which is Rose Autumn Sunset. ZW: Gosh! Who made that system? RB: A

25、great scientist called Carl Linnaeus. He lived in Sweden from 1707 to 1778.,ZW: So long ago! RB: Yes, and he solved a very serious problem for biology. ZW: What was that? RB: Before him nobody could tell if a plant was new, as there was no way of checking. Therere so many plants, you see! ZW: Yes, I

26、 appreciate that! So his system is still used? RB: Indeed it is. If my flower isnt in this book, Ill know that Ive found a new kind of lily. ZW: Thats great! Can I come and help you? This research sounds fun. RB: Yes, and if Im lucky(fading out),Answer key for Exercise 1: Students will give their ow

29、d walk around the city so that you would cross each bridge only once.,Suggested answers to Exercise 6: There is no Euler path for this figure. Look at Figure 4 in the Reading task. It is a Euler path for Figure 3.,A MATHEMATICIANS PROBLEM John Smith (JS) is talking to Zhao Yang (ZY) about a mathemat

30、ician who interests him. Part 1 JS: Do you know that weve been studying Euler in maths? ZY: Who is he? Ive never heard of him. JS: Well, he was a famous mathematician in the eighteenth century. He revised all the pure mathematics that was know in his day. ZY: That probably wasnt very much.,JS: Youre wrong there. He wrote more than any other mathematician before or since. ZY: Really! Well, what did he do? JS: He introduced a lot of sym
