Section Ⅳ Reading for Writing,Assessing Your Progress & Video Time
THE STONE IN THE ROAD
Once upon a time there was a king who often thought, “Nothing good can come to a nation whose people only complain and expect others to solve their problems.” One day, he had an idea.
Early one morning, the king disguised himself and went to a local village. He placed a large stone in the middle of the main street and hid gold coins under the stone. Then he hid behind a huge maple tree and watched.
The first person down the street was a milkman with his cart. He crashed into the stone, spilling the milk everywhere. “What fool put this stone here?” he shouted. He picked himself up and angrily went away.
After_a_while,a_group_of_women_came_along,
each_balancing_a_pot_of_water_on_her_head .[1] One woman tripped over the stone and her water pot went crashing to the ground. She picked herself up and limped away in tears. Neither she nor her friends thought about moving the stone out of the road.
[1]这句话使用了独立主格结构。独立主格结构是由名词或代词加上分词等构成的一种独立结构,用于修饰整个句子。独立主格结构中的名词或代词与其后的分词等构成逻辑上的主谓关系,在句中作状语,相当于一个状语从句。
The king watched all day as many people complained about the stone, but he found nobody making an attempt to move it. The king was in despair. “Is there in this village who feels any responsibility to keep their neighbours from harm?” Just then, the king saw a young girl coming alone. She was the daughter of a local farmer. She had been working all day and was very tired. But when she saw the stone, she said to herself, “This stone is a danger to anyone who comes down the street after dark. I'll move it out of the way.”
The girl pushed the stone with all her might. After a great deal of effort, she finally succeeded in moving it to the side of the street. Imagine_her_surprise_when_she_saw_the_gold
_coins_where_the_stone_had_been ![2]
[2]本句是个主从复合句。其中when引导了一个时间状语从句,where引导了一个地点状语从句。
Just then, the king stepped out from behind the tree. “Oh sir,” the girl said, “does this gold belong to you? If_not,_we_surely_must_find_the_owner,_for_he_will_certainly_miss_it. ”[3]
[3]if not是一个if引导的条件状语从句的省略形式,其完整形式是if this gold doesn't belong to you。
The king said, “My dear, the gold is mine. I put it in the road and moved the stone over it. Now_the_gold_is_yours,_because_you_are_the_only_person_who_has_learnt_the_lesson_I_wanted_to_teach_my_people .”[4]
[4] because引导原因状语从句,who引导的定语从句修饰person,定语从句I wanted to teach my people修饰the lesson。
路上的石头
从前有一位国王,他常想, “要是一个国家的人民只会抱怨,指望别人解决他们的问题的话,这样的国家是不会有什么好事发生的。”有一天,他有了一个主意。
一天清晨,国王在乔装打扮后去了当地的一个村庄。他在大街中间放了一块大石头,把金币藏在石头下面。然后他躲在一棵巨大的枫树后面看着。
街上走来的第一个人是一个送奶工,他推着他的手推车。他撞到石头上,把牛奶洒得到处都是。 “是哪个傻瓜把这块石头放在这里的?”他喊道。 (然后)他站起来,愤怒地走开了。
过了一会儿,一群妇女走了过来,每个人头上都顶着一水罐水。一名妇女被石头绊倒了,她的水罐掉到了地上,碎了。她站起来,含着泪一瘸一拐地走了。她和她的朋友都没想过把石头从这条路上搬开。
国王看了一整天,看见的都是许多人对这块石头的抱怨,但是没有人试图搬开它。国王绝望了。 “难道这个村子里没有人觉得有责任保护邻居不受伤害吗?”
就在那时,国王看到一个小女孩走了过来。她是当地一个农民的女儿。她工作了一整天,疲惫不堪。但是当她看见石头时,却自言自语地说, “这石头对天黑以后走在街上的人是个危险的东西。我来把它挪开。”
那女孩使出全身力气去挪那块石头。费尽九牛二虎之力,她终于成功地把它搬到了路边。想象一下,当她在石头所在位置看见金币时,她有多惊讶!
就在那时,国王从树后走了出来。 “哦,先生,”女孩说,“这金子是您的吗?如果不是的话,我们一定要找到它的主人,因为他一定会十分着急。”
国王说, “亲爱的,金子是我的。把它放在路上的人是我,用石头压在上面的人也是我。现在这金子是你的了,因为我想教我的人民的那个道理,只有你学到了。”

Barbara McClintock was one of the most important scientists of the twentieth century.She made important discoveries about genes(基因)and chromosomes(染色体).
Barbara McClintock was born in 1902 in Hartford,Connecticut.Her family moved to the Brooklyn area of New York City in 1908.Barbara was an active child with interests in sports and music.She also developed an interest in science.
She studied science at Cornell University in Ithaca,New York.Barbara was among a small number of undergraduate students to receive training in genetics in 1921.Years later,she noted that few college students wanted to study genetics.
Barbara McClintock decided to study botany,the scientific study of plants,at Cornell University.She completed her undergraduate studies in 1923.McClintock decided to continue her education at Cornell.She completed a master's degree in 1925.Two years later,she finished all her requirements for a doctorate degree.
McClintock stayed at Cornell after she completed her education.She taught students botany.The 1930s were not a good time to be a young scientist in the United States.The country was in the middle of the great economic Depression.Millions of Americans were unemployed.Male scientists were offered jobs.But female geneticists were not much in demand.
An old friend from Cornell,Marcus Rhoades,invited McClintock to spend the summer of 1941 working at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.It is a research center on Long Island,near New York City.McClintock started in a temporary(临时的)job with the genetics department.A short time later,she accepted a permanent(永久的)position with the laboratory.This gave her the freedom to continue her research without having to teach or repeatedly ask for financial aid.
By the 1970s,her discoveries had had an effect on everything from genetic engineering to cancer research.McClintock won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1983 for her discovery of the ability of genes to change positions on chromosomes.She was the first American woman to win an unshared Nobel Prize.
