I can throw the basketball in the net, I think it is easy, but someone think it is hard, I can catch the basketball,too. On Sundays,I am a bbasketball player.I like to watch basketball game on TV, Yao Ming is my favourite basketball player, I want to be a real basketball player someday. 还可以吧~

A 747 was halfway across the Atlantic when the captain got on the loud speaker, "Attention, passengers. We have lost one of our engines, but we can certainly reach London with the three we have left. Unfortunately, we will arrive an hour late as a r esult." Shortly thereafter, the passengers heard the captain's voice again, "Guess what, folks. We just lost our third engine, but please be assured we can fly with only one. We will now arrive in London three hours late." At this point, one passenger became furious. "For Pete's sake," he shouted, "If we lose another engine, we'll be up here all night!" 只剩一个引擎 一架747客机正在跨越大西洋时，喇叭里传来了机长的声音：“旅客们请注意，我们的四个引擎中有一个丢失了。但剩下的三个引擎会把我们带到伦敦的。只是我们要因此晚到一小时 。” 过了一会儿，旅客们又听到机长的声音：“各位，你们猜怎么啦 ？我们刚又掉了第三个引擎。但请你们相信好了。只有一个引擎我们也能飞，但要晚三个小时了。” 正在这时，一位乘客非常气愤地说：“看在上帝的份上，如果我们再掉一个引擎，我们就要整夜都要呆在天上了。” 我命运，我把握（不断超越自己） 正如世界上没有两片相同的叶子，我们每个人都是独一无二的。相信自己，命运就掌握在我们的手中。 Consider… YOU. In all time before now and in all time to come, there has never been and will never be anyone just like you. You are unique in the entire history and future of the universe. Wow! Stop and think about that. You're better than one in a million, or a billion, or a gazillion… You are the only one like you in a sea of infinity! You're amazing! You're awesome! And by the way, TAG, you're it. As amazing and awesome as you already are, you can be even more so. Beautiful young people are the whimsey of nature, but beautiful old people are true works of art. But you don't become "beautiful" just by virtue of the aging process. Real beauty comes from learning, growing, and loving in the ways of life. That is the Art of Life. You can learn slowly, and sometimes painfully, by just waiting for life to happen to you. Or you can choose to accelerate your growth and intentionally devour life and all it offers. You are the artist that paints your future with the brush of today. Paint a Masterpiece. God gives every bird its food, but he doesn't throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, whatever you want to do, it's truly up to you. 试想一下……你！一个空前绝后的你，不论是以往还是将来都不会有一个跟你一模一样的人。你在历史上和宇宙中都是独一无二的。哇！想想吧，你是万里挑一、亿里挑一、兆里挑一的。 在无穷无尽的宇宙中，你是举世无双的。 你是了不起的！你是卓越的！没错，就是你。你已经是了不起的，是卓越的，你还可以更卓越更了不起。美丽的年轻人是大自然的奇想，而美丽的老人却是艺术的杰作。但你不会因为年龄的渐长就自然而然地变得“美丽”。 真正的美丽源于生命里的学习、成长和热爱。这就是生命的艺术。你可以只听天由命, 慢慢地学，有时候或许会很痛苦。又或许你可以选择加速自己的成长，故意地挥霍生活及其提供的一切。你就是手握今日之刷描绘自己未来的艺术家。 画出一幅杰作吧。 上帝给了鸟儿食物，但他没有将食物扔到它们的巢里。不管你想要去哪里，不管你想要做什么，真正做决定的还是你自己。 掌握未来：我们正在起跑点 "We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite---" I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it. We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone. We are all in the position of the farmer. If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest. If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop. If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all. I want the future to be better than the past. I don't want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled. We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives. The past is gone and static. Nothing we can do will change it. The future is before us and dynamic. Everything we do will effect it. Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them. We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor. 中文： “我们正在阅读一本页数无限的书的第一章的第一节……” 我不知道这段文字是谁写的，我一直很喜欢并用它们来提醒自己，那就是未来文明用语之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来，从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西，一如雕刻家可以将未成型的石头刻出雕像一样。 我们每个人都是农夫。我们若种下好种子，就会有丰收。倘若种子长得不良且长满杂草，我们就会徒劳无获。如果我们什么也不种，就根本不会有什么收获。 我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望未来会被那些充斥在历史中的错误所污染。我们应关心未来，因为往后的余生都要在未来中度过。 往昔已一去不复返而且是静止的。任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变过去。未来就在我们眼前而且是动态的。 我们的所作所为都会影响未来。只要我们体会的出来，每天都可以发现新的知识领域伴随而生，可能是在家里，也可能是在我们的事业中。我们正处在人类所努力钻研的每个领域中进步的起点。 A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust. He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river." He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them. Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time. 【译文】 一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去，当他沿着路走时，在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果，他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果，因为富人会给我更多的食物，他会给我很好吃的东西。”然后他拿起苹果，一把扔到土里去。 他继续走，来到河边，河涨水了，因此，他到不了河对岸，他等了一会儿，然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了，因为我不能渡过河。” 他开始回家，那天他没有吃东西。他就开始去找吃的，他找到苹果，很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了。 不要把好东西扔掉，换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处。 The City Mouse and the Country Mouse Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city." The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid. After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid." 【译文】 城里老鼠和乡下老鼠 从前，有两只老鼠，它们是好朋友。一只老鼠居住在乡村，另一只住在城里。很多年以后，乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠，它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看。”于是，城里老鼠就去了。乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里。它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠。城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃，你的家也不好，你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢？你应该搬到城里去住，你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子，还会吃上美味佳肴，你应该到我城里的家看看。” 乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去。房子十分漂亮，好吃的东西也为他们摆好了。可是正当他们要开始吃的时候，听见很大的一阵响声，城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑！快跑！猫来了！”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来。 过了一会儿，他们出来了。当他们出来时，乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里，我喜欢住在田野我的洞里。因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在，比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说，要好些。” Drunk One day, a father and his little son were going home. At this age, the boy was interested in all kinds of things and was always asking questions. Now, he asked, "What's the meaning of the word 'Drunk', dad?"

Pierre de Fermat

The most tantalizing marginal note in the history of mathematics. Of the well over three thousand mathematical papers and notes that he wrote, Fermat published only one, and that just five years before his death and under the concealing initials M. P. E. A. S. Many of his mathematical findings were disclosed in letters to fellow mathematicians and in marginal notes inserted in his copy of Bachet's translation of Diophantus's Arithmetical

At the side of Problem 8 of Book II in his copy of Diophantus, Fermat wrote what has become the most tantalizing marginal note in the history of mathematics. The considered problem in Diophantus is: " To divide a given square number into two squares." Fermat's accompanying marginal note reads:

To divide a cube into two cubes, a fourth power, or in general any power whatever above the second, into two powers of the same denomination, is impossible, and I have assuredly found an admirable proof of this, but the margin is too narrow to contain it.

This famous conjecture, which says that there do not exist positive integers x, y, z, n such that xn + yn = zn when n > 2, has become known as "Fermat's last theorem." Whether Fermat really possessed a sound demonstration of this conjecture will probably forever remain an enigma. Because of his unquestionable integrity we must accept as a fact that he thought he had a proof, and because of his paramount ability we must accept as a fact that if the proof contained a fallacy then that fallacy must have been very subtle.

Many of the most prominent mathematicians since Fermat's time have tried their skill on the problem, but the general conjecture still remains open. There is a proof given elsewhere by Fermat for the case n = 4, and Euler supplied a proof (later perfected by others) for n = 3. About 1825, independent proofs for the case n = 5 were given by Legendre and Dirichlet, and in 1839 Lame proved the conjecture for n = 7. Very significant advances in the study of the problem were made by the German mathematician E. Kummer. In 1843, Kummer submitted a purported proof of the general conjecture to Dirichlet, who pointed out an error in the reasoning. Kummer then returned to the problem with renewed vigor, and a few years later, after developing an important allied subject in higher algebra called the theory of ideals, derived very general conditions for the insolvability of the Fermat relation. Almost all important subsequent progress on the problem has been based on Kummer's investigations. It is now known that " Fermat's last theorem " is certainly true for all n < 4003 (this was shown in 1955, with the aid of the SWAC digital computer), and for many other special values of n.

In 1908, the German mathematician P. Wollskehl bequeathed 100,000 marks to the Academy of Science at Gottingen as a prize for the first complete proof of the "theorem." The result was a deluge of alleged proofs by glory-seeking and money-seeking laymen, and, ever since, the problem has haunted amateurs somewhat as does the trisection of an arbitrary angle and the squaring of the circle. " Fermat's last theorem" has the peculiar distinction of being the mathematical problem for which the greatest number of incorrect proofs have been published.

Karl Feuerbach

What became of Karl Feuerbach? Geometers universally regard the so-called Feuerbach theorem as undoubtedly one of the most beautiful theorems in the modern geometry of the triangle. This theorem concerns itself with five important circles related to a triangle. These five circles are the incircle (or circle inscribed in the triangle), the three encircles (or circles touching one side of the triangle and the other two produced), and the nine-point circle (or circle passing through the three midpoints of the sides of the triangle).* Now the Feuerbach theorem says that for any triangle, the nine-point circle is tangent to the incircle and to each of the three encircles of the triangle.

The theorem was first stated and proved by Karl Wilhelm Feuerbach (1800-1834) in a little work of his published in 1822. It constitutes his only claim to fame in the field of mathematics~Why did he not produce further? What became of him? Why did he die at so young an age as thirty-four ? The answers to these questions constitute quite a tale.

Karl, the third son in a family of eleven children, was born in Jena on May 30, 1800. His father was a famous German jurist, becoming in 1819 the president of the court of appeals in Ansbach. Karl studied at both the University of Erlangen and the University of Freiburg, and in 1822 published his little book containing the beautiful theorem. He

During the incarceration, Karl became obsessed with the idea that only his death could free his companions. He accordingly one day slashed the veins in his feet, but before he bled to death he was discovered and removed in an unconscious state to a hospital. There, one day, he managed to bolt down a corridor and leap out of a window. But he fell into a deep snowbank and thus failed to take his life, though he did emerge permanently crippled so that later he looked like a walking question mark.

Shortly after his hospital adventure, Karl was paroled in the custody of a former teacher and friend of the family. One of the other nineteen young men died while in prison, and it was not until after fourteen months that a trial was held and the men were vindicated and released. King Maximilian Joseph took great pains to assist the young men in returning to normal life.

Karl was appointed professor of mathematics at the Gymnasium at Hof, but before long he suffered a breakdown and was forced to give up his teaching. By 1828 he recovered sufficiently to resume teaching, this time at the Gymnasium at Erlangen. However, one day he appeared in class with a drawn sword and threatened to behead any student who failed to solve some equations he had written on the blackboard. This wild and unbecoming act earned him permanent retirement. He gradually withdrew from reality, allowed his hair, beard, and nails to grow long, and became reduced to a condition of vacant stare and low unintelligible mumbling. After living in retirement in Erlangen for six years, he quietly died on March 12, 1834.

Euclid

The royal road in geometry. Only two anecdotes about Euclid have come down to us, and both are doubtful. In his Eudemiarz Summary, Proclus (410-485) tells us that Ptolemy Soter, the first King of Egypt and the founder of the Alexandrian Museum, patronized the Museum by studying geometry there under Euclid. He found the subject difficult and one day asked his teacher if there weren't some easier way to learn the material. To this Euclid replied, "Oh King, in the real world there are two kinds of roads, roads for the common people to travel upon and roads reserved for the King to travel upon. In geometry there is no royal road."

This is an example of an anecdote told also in relation to other people, for Stobaeus has narrated it in connection with Menaechmus when serving as instructor to Alexander the Great.

Since so many students are considerably more able as algebraists than as geometers, analytic geometry, which studies geometry with the aid of algebra, has been described as the "royal road in geometry " that Euclid thought did not exist.

Euclid and the student. The second anecdote about Euclid that has come down to us is an unreliable but pretty story told by Stobaeus in his collection of extracts, sayings, and precepts for his son. One of Euclid's students, when he had learned the first proposition, asked his teacher, "But what is the good of this and what shall I get by learning these things?" Thereupon Euclid called a slave and said, "Give this fellow a penny, since he must make gain from what he learns. "

The fraudulent goldsmith.

Apparently Archimedes was capable of strong mental concentration, and tales are told of his obliviousness to surroundings when engrossed by a problem. Typical is the frequently told story of King Hiero's crown and the suspected goldsmith.

It seems that King Hiero, desiring a crown of gold, gave a certain weight of the metal to a goldsmith, along with instructions. In due time the crown was completed and given to the king. Though the crown was of the proper weight, for some reason the king suspected that the goldsmith had pocketed some of the precious metal and replaced it with silver. The king didn't want to break the crown open to discover if it contained any hidden silver, and so in his perplexity he referred the matter to Archimedes. For a while, even Archimedes was puzzled. Then, one day when in the public baths, Archimedes hit upon the solution by discovering the first law of hydrostatics. In his flush of excitement, forgetting to clothe himself, he rose from his bath and ran home through the streets shouting, "Eureka, eureka" ("I have found it, I have found it").

The famous first law of hydrostatics appeared later as Proposition 7 of the first book of Archimedes' work On Floating Bodies.

This law, which today every student of physics learns in high school, says that " a body immersed in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid." This means that of two equal masses of different materials, that one having the greater volume will lose more when the two masses are weighed under water. Thus, since silver is more bulky than gold, it suffers a greater change when weighed under water than does an equal mass of gold. So all Archimedes had to do was to put the crown on one pan of a balance and an equal weight of gold on the other pan, and then immerse the whole in water. In this situation the gold would outweigh the crown if the latter contained any hidden silver. Tradition says that the pan containing the crown rose, and in this way the goldsmith was shown to be dishonest.

The witch of Agnesi.

Pierre de Fermat (1601-1663), who must ne conslcterect one ot the inventors of analytic geometry, at one time interested himself in the cubic curve, which in present-day notation would be indicated by the Cartesian equationy(x2 + a2) = a3.
The curve is pictured in Figure 33. Fermat did not name the curve, but it was later studied by Guido Grandi (1672-1742), who named it versoria. This is a Latin word for a rope that guides a sail. It is not clear why Grandi assigned this name to the cubic curve. There is a similar obsolete Italian word, versorio, which means "free to move in every direction," and the doubly-asymptotic nature of the cubic curve suggests

that perhaps Grandi meant to associate this word with the curve. At any rate, when Maria Gaetana Agnesi wrote her widely read analytic geometry, she confused
Grandi's versoria or versorio with versiera, which in Latin means "devil's randmother" or "female goblin." Later, in 1801, when John Colson translated Agnesi's text into English, he rendered versiera as "witch." The curve has ever since in English been called the "witch of Agnesi," though in other languages it is generally more simply referred to as the " curve of Agnesi. "

The witch of Agnesi possesses a number of pretty properties. First of all, the curve can be neatly described as the locus of a point P in the following manner. Let a variable secant OF (see Figure 33) through a given point O on a fixed circle cut the circle again in Q and cut the tangent to the circle at the diametrically opposite point R to O in A. The curve is then the locus of the point P of intersection of the lines QP and UP, parallel and perpendicular, respectively, to the aforementioned tangent. If we take the tangent through O as the x-axis and OR as the y-axis of a Cartesian coordinate system,
and denote the diameter of the fixed circle by a,
the equation of the witch is found to be y(x2 + a2) = a3.
The curve is symmetrical in the y-axis and is asymptotic to the x-axis in both directions. The area between the witch and its asymptote is eras, exactly four times the area of the fixed circle. The centroid of this area lies at the point (0, a/4), one fourth the way from O to R.
The volume generated by rotating the curve about its asymptote is p2a3/2.
Points of inflection on the curve occur where OQ makes angles of 60° with the asymptote.

An associated curve called the pseudo-witch is obtained by doubling the ordinates (the y-coordinates) of the witch. This curve was studied byJames Gregory in 1658 and was used by Leibuiz in 1674 in deriving his famous expression

pi/4 = 1 – 1/3 + 1/5 – 1/7 + …..

A mathematician is flying non-stop from Edmonton to Frankfurt with AirTransat. The scheduled flying time is nine hours.
Some time after taking off, the pilot announces that one engine had to be turned off due to mechanical failure: "Don't worry - we're safe. The only noticeable effect this will have for us is that our total flying time will be ten hours instead of nine."
A few hours into the flight, the pilot informs the passengers that another engine had to be turned off due to mechanical failure: "But don't worry - we're still safe. Only our flying time will go up to twelve hours."
Some time later, a third engine fails and has to be turned off. But the pilot reassures the passengers: "Don't worry - even with one engine, we're still perfectly safe. It just means that it will take sixteen hours total for this plane to arrive in Frankfurt."
The mathematician remarks to his fellow passengers: "If the last engine breaks down, too, then we'll be in the air for twenty-four hours altogether!"
*******************************************
There were three medieval kingdoms on the shores of a lake. There was an island in the middle of the lake, over which the kingdoms had been fighting for years. Finally, the three kings decided that they would send their knights out to do battle, and the winner would take the island.
The night before the battle, the knights and their squires pitched camp and readied themselves for the fight. The first kingdom had 12 knights, and each knight had five squires, all of whom were busily polishing armor, brushing horses, and cooking food. The second kingdom had twenty knights, and each knight had 10 squires. Everyone at that camp was also busy preparing for battle. At the camp of the third kingdom, there was only one knight, with his squire. This squire took a large pot and hung it from a looped rope in a tall tree. He busied himself preparing the meal, while the knight polished his own armor.
When the hour of the battle came, the three kingdoms sent their squires out to fight (this was too trivial a matter for the knights to join in).
The battle raged, and when the dust had cleared, the only person left was the lone squire from the third kingdom, having defeated the squires from the other two kingdoms, thus proving that the squire of the high pot and noose is equal to the sum of the squires of the other two sides.
