17、syringe (注射器)” comes from the Greek word syrinx, meaning “tube”.The first syringe was used in Roman times during the 1st century. It was mentioned in a journal called De Medicina as being used to treat diseases. Then, in the 9th century, an Egyptian surgeon created a syringe using a glass tube. In 1
18、650 Blaise Pascal invented a syringe as an application of fluid mechanics that is now called Pascals law. He used it for testing his theory about pressure. An Irish physician named Francis Rynd made the first recorded subcutaneous injection (皮下 注射) in I844. Then shortly thereafter in 1853 Charles Pr
19、avaz and Alexander Wood developed a medical syringe with a needle fine enough to give an injection under the skin and treat nerve conditions.

20、ore interesting and advanced in 1946 when Chance Brothers in England produced the first all-glass syringe with an interchangeable barrel and plunger (筒和活塞). This was revolutionary because it allowed the mass-sterilization (大规模消毒) of the different components without needing to match up the individual
21、 parts. Shortly thereafter Australian inventor Charles Rothauser created the worlds first plastic disposable (一次性的) syringe at his Adelaide factory in1949. However, because the plastic used by Rothauser softened with heat, the syringes had to be chemically dealt with before packaging, which made the
22、m expensive. Two years later he improved syringes that can be dealt with by heat. Millions were made for Australian and export markets. Then in 1956 a New Zealand inventor Colin Murdoch was issued with patents for a disposable plastic syringe. It was closely followed by the Plastipak-a plastic dispo

By

Lee says, “Change is possible, but we cant depend on reserves as lifeboats for naturewe need a great

35、ble.DUnconcerned.二、七选五When it comes to playing the spikeball (迷你排球) game, you need to master several different skills. _16_The first essential skill is called ready position. Spikeball uses the concept of volleyball. Well, the ready position is one of the few skills that both volleyball and spikebal
36、l have in common. It is a general positioning of the body in spikeball and volleyball. _17_ Besides, the ready position is very important because, if players perform it properly, it enables them to react more quickly to the strike coming from the partner or opposing team. The second essential skill
37、is known as hand-eye coordination (协调). _18_ In these two sports hand-eye coordination is pretty much essential if youre looking to achieve a better level. _19_ The eyes will let you understand where the ball is going while the hand deals with defending and striking. Lastly, sending or receiving is
38、another essential skill during the spikeball game. In a way to avoid losing a point to the opposing team, every player needs to understand or figure out the best ways to receive the ball and then strike it back. _20_ The first thing you need is just to get familiar with the rules and regulations of
39、the sport. What is more, start small until you fully understand the rules. After that, you just need to practice and practice until you become better at playing spikeball.AThats why spikeball is popular.BSpikeball offers a sense of achievement.CIts not hard to learn how to play spikeball.DThis is al

Maybe its time to introduce yourself to the _21_ of yet. By adding this simple word, you can change everything, “I really dont understand this ma
42、ths problem yet.” Suddenly, the _22_ becomes possible. I read about a school that has _23_ the way it _24_ its students exams. The school recognized that the old pass/fail system wasnt helping students _25_. If you passed, then great, but those students who didnt pass often felt like _26_. So now st
43、udents who dont get the score they need to pass, dont see a big red “F” for “fail” on their exam papers; _27_ they see a “Not yet”. That way the students feel that they are on a journey. They havent reached the _28_ , but they know that they are going the right way. This kind of _29_ is part of what
44、 experts call “having a growth mindset”. People with a growth mindset dont _30_ failure. They arent worried by not getting things right the first time and are _31_ to keep trying until they do. They enjoy the _32_ and believe they can change. _33_ , people who just focus on failure have what the exp
45、erts call “a fixed mindset”. These people are always worried about failure and are happy to _34_ when things dont go right. _35_, it is better to have a growth mindset than a fixed mindset.21AoriginBdefinitionCpowerDprinciple22AawfulBimpossibleCartificialDunnecessary23ApreservedBblockedCmissedDtrans
