2、 day a doctor brought particularly frightening news . Staring at my reports , he said in a low voice , “It doesnt look like youre going to make it.” Before I could ask him a question , my wife stood up , handed me my clothes , adjusted the tubes fastened to my body and said , “Lets get out of here .
3、This man is a risk to your health.” As she helped me struggle to the door , the doctor came near us . “Stay back,” demanded my wife . “Stay away from us .” As we walked together down the hall , the doctor attempted to catch up with us . “Keep going ,” said my wife , pushing the intravenous (静脉注射的) s
4、tand . “Were going to talk to someone who really knows what is going on.” Then she held up her hand to the doctor . “Dont come any closer to us .” The two of us moved as one .

8、only in the sixteenth century . According to them , the sailors of the ancient world did not explore distant parts of the world ; they did not have the necessary knowledge or skills for long sea journeys . However , the people who have this opinion are forgetting two important facts of history . Fir
9、st , sometimes early scientists have an idea which is correct , but scientists in later centuries do not believe it . For example , about 270 B. C. a Greek scientist had an idea which we all believe today : The earth moves around the sun . But for the following 1,600 years scientists did not believe
10、 this . In their opinion , the sun clearly moved around the earth . They discovered the truth again only in the fifteenth century ! The second fact of history that many people forget is this : Ancient does not mean simple . For example , the ancient Egyptians knew a great deal about the stars ; they
11、 used this knowledge to find their way across the oceans . Two thousand years ago a Greek scientist who lived in Egypt calculated the distance around the earth . The results of his calculations were close to the actual distance we know today ! So the ancients had a great deal of scientific knowledge
12、 . They also had skills which equaled the skills of today . For example , 1,300 years ago and before , fishermen in Ireland built their boats of wood and leather . Today some fishermen in Ireland still make boats of the same design . They use tools and materials which are not very different from the
13、 tools and materials which their ancestors used . Why ? The ancient design of the boats is good , and with skillful sailors , these boats can sail in all kinds of weather .

15、d very little knowledge about the stars . CIn the history of science , people sometimes have to discover a fact a second time . DThe writer agrees with many Americans and Europeans except for the two facts mentioned in the passage . 61Why does the writer use the example of the Greek scientist who ca
16、lculated the distance around the world ? AHe wants to show it is an ancient Greek scientist that calculated the distance around the world . BHe wants to give an example of something which later scientists greatly improved . CHe wants to show that science has not been developing significantly . DHe wants to give an example of scientific knowledge available to early explorers . 62According to the writer , why do Irish fishermen still use boats like th
