M:Yes,of course.What about you? W:In my view,Yuan Longping is the one that I admire most.Because he really made great contributions to people's life in the world.

W:You're right.It was immediately accepted by seabirds' families as one of them.The adults even sang to it, though to their disappointment,the"baby"didn't reply. M:That's funny!Scientists are now working on a new mod- el with one important improvement-it will be able to play seabird songs. Text 8 M:Hello.Is that the library? W:Yes.Can I help you?

W:Sounds great!Then who's your favorite scientist? M:Copernicus!He discovered the sun was the center of the universe,and all the planets went around it.Our ideas of the universe are all based on his theory.And his theo- ry even influenced the work of the great scientists,like Newton and Einstein afterwards. W:Wow!I wonder how he made his discoveries. M:Well,at his time,people believed the earth was the center of the universe.But if that was the case,somethings didn't make sense.So,Copernicus tried to find anan- swer.He collected observations of the stars,and used all his mathematical knowledge to study them.That fi- nally led to his theory. W:Copernicus was great indeed! M:That's for sure!But unluckily,he didn't publish his the- ory until he was dying. W:How come? M:At that time,the Christian Church was extremely strict about ideas.If Copernicus put forward his theory,the theory would certainly have been turned down.And he himself would have been attacked and punished,too. Text 10 The Nobel Prizes are awards that are given each year for special things that people or groups of people have a- chieved.They are awarded in six areas:physics,chemis- try,medicine,literature,peace and economics.The pri- zes come from a fund that was created by the Swedish in- ventor Alfred Nobel.He wanted to use some of his mon- ey to help make the world a better place to live in.Many organizations,chosen by Alfred Nobel himself,deter- mine who receives the prizes.Each award consists of a gold medal,a diploma and a lot of money.Prizes can only be given to individuals of all races,countries and reli- gions. Only the Peace Prize can also be given to a group.The first Nobel Prizes were handed out on December 10,1901- five years after Alfred Nobel's death.Nobel was a chem- ist,engineer and inventor whose most famous invention, dynamite,made him a rich man.Although he gave the world such a deadly weapon,Nobel was always against wars and violence.He therefore left a lot of money that was to go to those who did a lot for mankind. Officials at first handed out only five prizes a year.The prize for economics was first awarded in 1969.In some years prizes have not been awarded because there were no worthy candidates.All prizes are presented in Stock- holm,Sweden,only the Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway.
