Education from My Father
My memories of my father are slim because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are 32 that I am often reminded of and which may have had some bearing on my love of 33 .
When I was small I was somewhat 34 of lightning and thunder. My father explained it. The explanation was in 35 that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better 36 later, but I didn’t have to unlearn anything.
What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds 37 it traveled to the ground like a spark. When it traveled 38 the air it made the air so hot that it 39 . Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to 40 the space. He clapped his hands together very loud, 41 to be the air rushing in, and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder, I can still hear that 42 .
He explained why if it was cloudy in the winter the night was warmer than if it was 43 . It was one of those nights when the sky was full of stars: no moon, no town lights. But there were more stars than you could 44 and they had color too. He said that if there were no clouds, we had no blankets and were 45 to the universe. Our warmth was going to 46 the whole universe. When there were clouds, they were like blankets and we were not exposed to the universe. I 47 feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.
I am sure there were many other lessons that I 48 but no longer remember. What I did 49 , in general, was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them, the more comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were 50 but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always been 51 in science.

8.同上。根據(jù)后面的Then there was nothing where the air had been可知,空氣燃燒掉了。
9.句意理解,空氣被燃燒掉后,別處的空氣要填補(bǔ)進(jìn)來,即fill,
10.句意理解,父親拍手,模擬空氣快速填補(bǔ)進(jìn)來。
11.上下文,每當(dāng)我聽到雷聲,我還能回想到當(dāng)時(shí)父親拍手的聲音。
12.上下文,此處與前面的cloudy相反,即clear晴天,根據(jù)后面的It was one of those nights when the sky was full of stars: no moon, no town lights也可以知道
13.句意理解,其實(shí)有比你想象的多得多的星星,他們還有顏色。Explore探索 foresee 預(yù)測(cè) identify 識(shí)別 ,
14.詞組辨析,be exposed to 暴露于 be committed to致力于 be related to 與……有關(guān) lead to導(dǎo)致 句意為,沒有云的時(shí)候,我們完全暴露于整個(gè)宇宙之中,沒有什么遮蓋。
15.上下文,根據(jù)warmth可知,溫暖可以給整個(gè)宇宙加熱,
16.句意理解,在晴朗的夜晚,我仍然能夠感受到(像父親說的那樣)好像站在太空的邊緣。
17.動(dòng)詞。Absorb吸收,理解。句意為我肯定還有其他很多知識(shí)我理解了,但是現(xiàn)在不記得了。
18.句意理解,但是我真正學(xué)到的是,一切都有相應(yīng)的解釋,我理解的越多,我就會(huì)生活的越舒適。
19.父親教會(huì)了我世界上沒有什么是解不開的迷,只要我們?nèi)ふ,就可以理解,弄明白。也許這就是我對(duì)科學(xué)感興趣的原因。

Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(資源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(獨(dú)特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
