章节摘录

版权页：   插图：   This photograph shows a cluster of galaxies. Each galaxy, a collection of billions of stars,appears small because it is very far from Earth. 2 Physics : Concepts and Practice Physics is the study of the material world. It is a search for patterns, or rules, for the behavior ofobjects in the universe. This search covers the entire range of material objects, from the smallestknown particles-millions of millions of times smaller than a marble-to astronomical objects-mil-lions of millions of times bigger than our Sun. The search also covers the entire span of time, fromthe primordial fireball to the ultimate fate of the universe. Within this vast realm of space and time,the searchers have one goal; to comprehend the course of events in the whole world-to create aworld view.  FIRST GRADE This course could be one of the most challenging experiences that you will ever have-except forfirst grade. But then you were too young to notice. What happened in first grade?* Well, you learned to read, and that was really difficult. You first hadto learn the names of all those weird little squiggles. You had to learn to tell a b from a d from a p.Even though they looked so much alike, you did it, and it even seemed like fun. Then you learned thesounds each letter represented, and that was not easy because the capitals looked different but madethe same sound and some letters could have more than one sound. Then one day your teacher put some letters on the board; first, the letter C, and you all knew itcould make a "kuh" or "suh" sound； then the letter A, which had lots of possibilities； and finally aT, which luckily had only one sound. You tried out several combinations including "kuh-AAH-tuh."Then suddenly someone shouted out in triumph, "That isn't 'kuh-AAH-tuh'! It's a small furry animalwith a long skinny tail that says 'meow.'" And your world was never the same again. When your carpaused at an eight-sided red sign, you sounded out stop and understood how the drivers knew whatto do. You saw the words ice cream on the front of a store and knew you wanted to go in.
