How Does He Know?

An employer was very anxious to find the most intelligent of the three men who had applied for a job. So he told them: "Here are five conical hats. Three are white and two are black. I shall ask you to stand in 3 corners of the room facing the wall, and I shall place a hat on each of your heads. When you turn round, you will be able to see the other's hats but not your own. The first one to tell me the colour of his own hat will get the job." He then placed a white hat on each man's head. When the three men turned to face each other there was a long silence. Then, suddenly, one of the candidates (候选人) said, "Mine is white." How did he work out that he had a white hat on his headv

Make Your Students Active Learners

更快、更平缓的太空旅行(英文)

This month' s income tax deadline might inspire fantasies of fleeing Earth. But the laws of physics, like the laws of the IRS, are irrevocable. Before you can set up a tax shelter on Mars, there's that little matter of achieving escape velocity. Getting off our planet requires a textbook speed of 6.96 miles per second. That number applies only if you want to wrench free from Earth's gravity in a one-shot effort, however. If you can wait, a slow, steady thrust can also do the job. Think of Earth as lying at the bottom of a pit. If you drop a rock into the pit, it will have a certain velocity when it hits bottom. One way to get out of the hole is to jump upward at the exact same speed-the escape velocity. Another way out is to climb gradually up the wall of the pit. So long as you generate enough force to keep working your way up the wall, you' II still get out. Heading upward at even one mile per hour, a rocket could work its way out of Earth' s gravitational field travel clear across the universe if its engine fired for a long enough time.
