A successful scientist is generally a good observer. He makes full     1     of the facts he observes. He doesn't accept ideas which are not     2     on obvious facts,and therefore refuses to accept authority(权威)as the only     3     for truth. He always     4     ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them. 
    The rise of     5     science may perhaps be considered to     6     as far back as the     7     of Roger Bacon,the wonderful philosopher (哲学家)of Oxford, who lived     8     the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the Middle     9     to suggest that we must learn science     10     observing and experimenting on the things around us, and he himself     11     many important discoveries. 
    Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later ( 1564 unequal〜1642), was the greatest of several great men,     12     in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by     13     to show
how many important     14     could be discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more     15     towards the earth than small ones,     16     Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the     17     of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two     18     stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo's science     19     of  going direct to Nature, and proving our ​    20     and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.

Early one morning,more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the     1     of a sewing machine but he had     2     a very difficult problem:it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly     3     the needle. 
        4     he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he was caught by terrible savages(野蛮人)whose     5     wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a     6     sewing machine. When he tried to do so, Howe met with the     7     problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. 
    The king flew into the rage(大怒)and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him with their spears(矛)      8        . Suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a     9     in the tip of each spear. The inventor awoke from the dream,     10     that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the     11     of the needle. This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and make the first really     12     sewing machine. 
    To know the     13     of dreams, you have to     14     what happens when you are asleep. Even then, a part of your mind is still working. This unconscious(无 意识的)but still     15     part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the     16     . It stores all sorts of information that you may have     17     or never have really     18     . 
    It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are     19     . However, the unconscious part acts in a special way. It use
s strange ​    20     which the conscious part may not understand at first. This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves”.

Last spring, I was fortunate to be chosen to participate in an exchange study program. In my application letter, I was careful to     1     how much I wanted to see France; evidently, my excitement really came through in my words. Once I     2     that I was going, all I could think about was the fun of foreign travel and making all sorts of new and     3     friends. While traveling was inspiring and meeting people was     4     , nothing about my term in France was what I     5     .
    The moment I arrived in Paris, I was     6     by a nice French couple who would become my host parents. My entire experience was joyous and exciting     7     I received some shocking news from my program coordinator (协调人): there had been a death in my host parents’ extended family. They had to travel outside France for several weeks. That afternoon, I had to     8     out of one family’s house and into another. The exchange coordinator told me I'd have a     9     this time and asked whether I could share a bedroom with an English speaker. To avoid the temptation (诱惑) to     10     my native language, I asked not to be     11     with an English-speaking roommate. When I got to my new room, I
    12     myself to my new roommate Paolo, a Brazilian (巴西人) the same age as I, whom I was surprised to find playing one of my favorite CD! In just a few hours, we knew we’d be good friends for the rest of the     13     .
    I left France with many     14     , so when people ask me what my favorite part of the trip was, they are always     15     to hear me talk about my Brazilian friend Paolo and the scores of weekdays in class, weeknights on the town, and weekends     16     France we enjoyed together. I love how people     17     seem so different, but end up being so     18     . The most valuable lesson I gained from studying in France wasn’t just to respect the French people     19     to respect all people, for your next best friend could be just a continent away. I would recommend an exchange program to anyone who wants to experience foreign cultures and gain meaningful     20     .
