Newton, Isaac (1642-1727)
English physicist and mathematician who was born into a poor farming family. Luckily for humanity, Newton was not a good farmer, and was sent to Cambridge to study to become a preacher. At Cambridge, Newton studied mathematics, being especially strongly influenced by Euclid, although he was also influenced by Baconian and Cartesian philosophies. Newton was forced to leave Cambridge when it was closed because of the plague, and it was ring this period that he made some of his most significant discoveries. With the reticence he was to show later in life, Newton did not, however, publish his results.
Newton suffered a mental breakdown in 1675 and was still recovering through 1679. In response to a letter from Hooke, he suggested that a particle, if released, would spiral in to the center of the Earth. Hooke wrote back, claiming that the path would not be a spiral, but an ellipse. Newton, who hated being bested, then proceeded to work out the mathematics of orbits. Again, he did not publish his calculations. Newton then began devoting his efforts to theological speculation and put the calculations on elliptical motion aside, telling Halley he had lost them (Westfall 1993, p. 403). Halley, who had become interested in orbits, finally convinced Newton to expand and publish his calculations. Newton devoted the period from August 1684 to spring 1686 to this task, and the result became one of the most important and influential works on physics of all times, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) (1687), often shortened to Principia Mathematica or simply "the Principia."
In Book I of Principia, Newton opened with definitions and the three laws of motion now known as Newton's laws (laws of inertia, action and reaction, and acceleration proportional to force). Book II presented Newton's new scientific philosophy which came to replace Cartesianism. Finally, Book III consisted of applications of his dynamics, including an explanation for tides and a theory of lunar motion. To test his hypothesis of universal gravitation, Newton wrote Flamsteed to ask if Saturn had been observed to slow down upon passing Jupiter. The surprised Flamsteed replied that an effect had indeed been observed, and it was closely predicted by the calculations Newton had provided. Newton's equations were further confirmed by observing the shape of the Earth to be oblate spheroidal, as Newton claimed it should be, rather than prolate spheroidal, as claimed by the Cartesians. Newton's equations also described the motion of Moon by successive approximations, and correctly predicted the return of Halley's Comet. Newton also correctly formulated and solved the first ever problem in the calculus of variations which involved finding the surface of revolution which would give minimum resistance to flow (assuming a specific drag law).
Newton invented a scientific method which was truly universal in its scope. Newton presented his methodology as a set of four rules for scientific reasoning. These rules were stated in the Principia and proposed that (1) we are to admit no more causes of natural things such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances, (2) the same natural effects must be assigned to the same causes, (3) qualities of bodies are to be esteemed as universal, and (4) propositions deced from observation of phenomena should be viewed as accurate until other phenomena contradict them.
These four concise and universal rules for investigation were truly revolutionary. By their application, Newton formulated the universal laws of nature with which he was able to unravel virtually all the unsolved problems of his day. Newton went much further than outlining his rules for reasoning, however, actually describing how they might be applied to the solution of a given problem. The analytic method he invented far exceeded the more philosophical and less scientifically rigorous approaches of Aristotle and Aquinas. Newton refined Galileo's experimental method, creating the compositional method of experimentation still practiced today. In fact, the following description of the experimental method from Newton's Optics could easily be mistaken for a modern statement of current methods of investigation, if not for Newton's use of the words "natural philosophy" in place of the modern term "the physical sciences." Newton wrote, "As in mathematics, so in natural philosophy the investigation of difficult things by the method of analysis ought ever to precede the method of composition. This analysis consists of making experiments and observations, and in drawing general conclusions from them by inction...by this way of analysis we may proceed from compounds to ingredients, and from motions to the forces procing them; and in general from effects to their causes, and from particular causes to more general ones till the argument end in the most general. This is the method of analysis: and the synthesis consists in assuming the causes discovered and established as principles, and by them explaining the phenomena preceding from them, and proving the explanations."
Newton formulated the classical theories of mechanics and optics and invented calculus years before Leibniz. However, he did not publish his work on calculus until afterward Leibniz had published his. This led to a bitter priority dispute between English and continental mathematicians which persisted for decades, to the detriment of all concerned. Newton discovered that the binomial theorem was valid for fractional powers, but left it for Wallis to publish (which he did, with appropriate credit to Newton). Newton formulated a theory of sound, but derived a speed which did not agree with his experiments. The reason for the discrepancy was that the concept of adiabatic propagation did not yet exist, so Newton's answer was too low by a factor of , where is the ratio of heat capacities of air. Newton therefore fudged his theory until agreement was achieved (Engineering and Science, pp. 15-16).
In Optics (1704), whose publication Newton delayed until Hooke's death, Newton observed that white light could be separated by a prism into a spectrum of different colors, each characterized by a unique refractivity, and proposed the corpuscular theory of light. Newton's views on optics were born out of the original prism experiments he performed at Cambridge. In his "experimentum crucis" (crucial experiment), he found that the image proced by a prism was oval-shaped and not circular, as current theories of light would require. He observed a half-red, half-blue string through a prism, and found the ends to be disjointed. He also observed Newton's rings, which are actually a manifestation of the wave nature of light which Newton did not believe in. Newton believed that light must move faster in a medium when it is refracted towards the normal, in opposition to the result predicted by Huygens's wave theory.
Newton also formulated a system of chemistry in Query 31 at the end of Optics. In this corpuscular theory, "elements" consisted of different arrangements of atoms, and atoms consisted of small, hard, billiard ball-like particles. He explained chemical reactions in terms of the chemical affinities of the participating substances. Newton devoted a majority of his free time later in life (after 1678) to fruitless alchemical experiments.
Newton was extremely sensitive to criticism, and even ceased publishing until the death of his arch-rival Hooke. It was only through the prodding of Halley that Newton was persuaded at all to publish the Principia Mathematica. In the latter portion of his life, he devoted much of his time to alchemical researches and trying to date events in the Bible. After Newton's death, his burial place was moved. During the exhumation, it was discovered that Newton had massive amounts of mercury in his body, probably resulting from his alchemical pursuits. This would certainly explain Newton's eccentricity in late life. Newton was appointed Warden of the British Mint in 1695. Newton was knighted by Queen Anne. However, the act was "an honor bestowed not for his contributions to science, nor for his service at the Mint, but for the greater glory of party politics in the election of 1705" (Westfall 1993, p. 625).
Newton singlehandedly contributed more to the development of science than any other indivial in history. He surpassed all the gains brought about by the great scientific minds of antiquity, procing a scheme of the universe which was more consistent, elegant, and intuitive than any proposed before. Newton stated explicit principles of scientific methods which applied universally to all branches of science. This was in sharp contradistinction to the earlier methodologies of Aristotle and Aquinas, which had outlined separate methods for different disciplines.
Although his methodology was strictly logical, Newton still believed deeply in the necessity of a God. His theological views are characterized by his belief that the beauty and regularity of the natural world could only "proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being." He felt that "the Supreme God exists necessarily, and by the same necessity he exists always and everywhere." Newton believed that God periodically intervened to keep the universe going on track. He therefore denied the importance of Leibniz's vis viva as nothing more than an interesting quantity which remained constant in elastic collisions and therefore had no physical importance or meaning.
Although earlier philosophers such as Galileo and John Philoponus had used experimental proceres, Newton was the first to explicitly define and systematize their use. His methodology proced a neat balance between theoretical and experimental inquiry and between the mathematical and mechanical approaches. Newton mathematized all of the physical sciences, recing their study to a rigorous, universal, and rational procere which marked the ushering in of the Age of Reason. Thus, the basic principles of investigation set down by Newton have persisted virtually without alteration until modern times. In the years since Newton's death, they have borne fruit far exceeding anything even Newton could have imagined. They form the foundation on which the technological civilization of today rests. The principles expounded by Newton were even applied to the social sciences, influencing the economic theories of Adam Smith and the decision to make the United States legislature bicameral. These latter applications, however, pale in contrast to Newton's scientific contributions.
It is therefore no exaggeration to identify Newton as the single most important contributor to the development of modern science. The Latin inscription on Newton's tomb, despite its bombastic language, is thus fully justified in proclaiming, "Mortals! rejoice at so great an ornament to the human race!" Alexander Pope's couplet is also apropos: "Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night; God said, Let Newton be! and all was light."

用英語介紹一下曼徹斯特大學
Manchester University, founded back in 1851 and granted its royal charter in 1903, is a giant of the north in a great student city. Living and studying here may change your life. There are more than 15,000 undergraates and it attracts more applicants than any other university.
Perhaps this is because of the good mix of arts and sciences that the university provides, as well as access to outstanding facilities, such as the third largest university library in the UK, the Jodrell Bank Science Centre with its radio telescope and 6,000 PCs clustered across the campus. Rutherford split the atom here and, on a pragmatic note, first years are guaranteed university accommodation. The students' union has four bars and two venues for live music, and there are over 100 student societies. All this goes some way to explaining Manchester's popularity.
But one of the university's other assets is the city itself and all that goes on there. Sophisticated but homely, cosmopolitan but northern, you cannot deny Manchester's buzz or its unparalleled music and club scene.
The university feeds off this, counting such glamorous cats as the Chemical Brothers, Sleeper's Louise Wener and MP Nick Brown among its alumni. The last was a stalwart of the Northern Soul scene, always ready with his talcum powder to demonstrate some trouser-splitting new move to awed onlookers.
The final piece of the jigsaw in explaining rainy Manchester's charms are not the figures on burglary or car crime in student areas, but the surveys published yearly announcing that students there have more sex and take more drugs than the rest of the student population of Britain.

3. X教授的人物簡介
查爾斯·弗朗西斯·澤維爾(Charles Francis Xavier)是科學家布萊恩·澤維爾與其妻莎倫之子。他在母腹中成形時,身邊就有了另一個孿生的特異生命體,查爾斯當時出於本能試圖殺死這個個體,最終迫使對方以精神形式逃跑,下落不明,他本人也忘記了這一切。
布萊恩在20世紀中期任職於內華達州一所官方科研機構Armageddon(哈米吉多頓),其家人住在紐約西切斯特的一座宏大的宅第內。布萊恩在所屬實驗室有個同事馬可,雖然相處不差,但後者一直懷著嫉妒的競爭心理。某日實驗室發生嚴重事故,布萊恩死亡,馬可生還。在葬禮上,十來歲的查爾斯開始懷疑馬可殺了自己父親,但此人卻開始與莎倫交往,最後決定結婚。馬可帶著自己上一次婚姻中生的兒子凱恩住進了澤維爾家,凱恩是個蠻橫無禮的少年,長期受父親粗暴的教育方式影響,自身也是個不求上進的暴力狂,他與查爾斯從一見面就互相敵視。
查爾斯、凱恩和另一位科學家蘭金的兒子卡特都被一個叫米爾布的基因學家認為有變種潛力,進行了神秘的實驗。當時他相信查爾斯將來必會具有超能力。莎倫不安地埋怨丈夫,得到的卻是暴力回應。在她去世後,查爾斯和馬可父子的關系更加惡化。
查爾斯一度飽受凱恩的毆打,但他逐漸發現自己可以「聽」到對方腦子里的想法,由此意識到自己的特殊天賦,並不動聲色地自我訓練。馬可一直對不爭氣的兒子失望,反而對查爾斯非常關懷,同時嚴厲要求凱恩向兄弟學習,使凱恩更加嫉恨查爾斯。終於有一天,凱恩在實驗室向父親要錢不成,就揚言要揭發他謀害布賴恩的罪行,在外面聽見的查爾斯沖進來質問繼父,三人扭打時引爆了化學品,產生大火。馬可把兩個孩子救出,自己傷重而死,死前對查爾斯說:布萊恩之死確是事故,但自己當時也許能救他,卻沒有去嘗試,所以一直懷著罪惡感,希望查爾斯好好活下去,並小心凱恩。
沒有血緣的兩兄弟繼續在互相敵視中度過了幾年學校生活。查爾斯適度地運用心靈感應能力,在學業上取得了令人矚目的成績,同時他原本不茂密的頭發也越來越少,直至禿頂。在大學,查爾斯鑽研生物基因科學,遇到了一位與他一樣才華橫溢的英國女生莫拉Moira Kinross,來自蘇格蘭一個貴族世家。兩人建立起了親密的關系,不過比起學者氣的查爾斯,莫拉似乎對另一個會玩敢玩的男生馬克塔格特更為青睞。在一個假日晚上,莫拉跟著馬克塔格特騎摩托車時在海邊公路上摔了下去,剛在酒館和他們分別的查爾斯感覺到了狀況,及時救了他們。而查爾斯自己也遭到凱恩的設計出了一次危險的車禍,僥幸沒有大礙。
查爾斯和凱恩成年後不久,就參軍去了亞洲投入一場戰爭。查爾斯當了一名小軍官,被部下稱為「好羊倌」,因為他在戰場上總能照顧好每一個下屬。一日,查爾斯和凱恩進入了一座石山下的古廟,那裡是古代高僧封印邪神Cyttorak的所在。貪婪的凱恩把暗藏Cyttorak精魂的紅寶石搶到手中,馬上發生了山崩,把他埋在亂石之下。查爾斯並沒有下決心挖他出來,一個人回去了。
復員後,查爾斯已經意識到自己是新一代人類「變種人」的代表,世上一定還有其他變種人,而當他們的存在為世人了解時,必定引發激烈的動盪。他與莫拉交往了一段時間,但最終分手了。
查爾斯前往中東地區探索,在開羅被一個白發女孩扒了包。他追蹤到一家飯店,見到了一個自稱當地黑道頭領的胖子法羅克,此人也有心靈感應力量。兩人進行了一場精神對決,查爾斯擊倒了法羅克,看似消滅了他。此行使他意識到帶有邪惡意圖的變種人會形成巨大的危害,對其他變種人和人類都有威脅。
查爾斯來到中東猶太人與阿拉伯人沖突的地區,加入了一支醫療團隊,遇到了一個銀發男子埃里克·蘭瑟爾,此人似乎能屏蔽他的精神刺探,同時也對變種人相關事務感興趣。兩人一起治病救人,探討學術,還在酒館聯手打群架,成為了摯友。在談及變種人未來狀態時,埃里克認為他們與人類的戰爭是不可避免的,查爾斯則相信雙方會實現和平共處。
一個猶太女性嘉比·布里吉斯(Gaby Bridges)由於經歷納粹的屠殺而長年精神失常,查爾斯用異能治好了她,兩人開始戀愛,並發生了關系;納粹殘余勢力HYDRA(九頭蛇)在斯特拉克男爵的指揮下綁架了嘉比,搶到以前藏在她身上的藏寶圖,找到了一批第三帝國埋藏的黃金。查爾斯和埃里克一起冒險救出嘉比,顯露出了各自的心靈感應和控制磁場力量。最後埃里克卻表示自己決定行動起來,為變種人的聖戰做准備,隨即帶著黃金消失無蹤,此後他就成為了萬磁王。
意識到埃里克的力量將為世界帶來大難,查爾斯毅然決定加快尋訪變種人的步伐。他告別嘉比去了東方,從此多年沒有與她再見。在喜馬拉雅山,查爾斯探訪了一座傳說中的魔城,發現這是一個叫盧西弗的外星侵略者建造的要塞。他救出了被囚禁的人,卻被盧西弗的落石機關砸斷了骨頭,雙腿失去了活動能力,被送到山下一家印度醫院療養。一個紅發女護士艾米利亞·佛特引起了的查爾斯注意,她承認自己也是變種人,由於在美國老家遭人白眼而來到這偏僻的地方生活。由於精神上的互相吸引,他們開始了熱戀,查爾斯努力適應坐輪椅的生活,並向艾米利亞闡述了自己的「夢想」。
在艾米利亞陪同下,查爾斯在納粹集中營遺址與萬磁王(已在組織兄弟會)做了最後的懇談,誰也無法說服對方,只得分道揚鑣。回到西切斯特,查爾斯准備開始建立自己的變種人隊伍。他把家宅改造成一所私立學校——「澤維爾天賦兒童學校」,自己是唯一的教師,有教授職位;他在學校中建立了一個隱秘的訓練場「險情室」,藏著各種機關,包括炮彈、火和機器人;他開發了能把自己的精神力放大的腦波搜索機Cereboro,探測世界范圍內變種人的獨特腦波;他開始近距離接觸具有潛力的少年,其中最重要的是一個具有精神力量的十三歲女孩琴·葛蕾。
幾年後(大致在九十年代前期),社會傳媒開始關注變種人的存在,一些能力失控者造成的傷亡事故激起了一些零星的抵觸運動。聯邦調查局的特工弗雷德·鄧肯奉命負責這些事件,查爾斯找到了他,透露了一些信息,指出保護變種人隱私並對他們培訓的重要性,鄧肯對此表示同意,支持他接手一些變種少年的監護任務。由此,查爾斯首先把年輕的斯科特·薩默斯從孤兒院接了出來,使他成為自己招募的第一個學生,但艾米利亞卻表示她不相信這夢想會成功,要求查爾斯放棄,否則自己寧可離開。查爾斯說服未果,急切之下試圖強行改變艾米利亞的思想,但馬上就後悔了,而察覺到精神攻擊的艾米利亞則憤憤地揚長而去。
隨後查爾斯又找來了鮑比·德雷克、沃倫·沃辛頓三世和漢克·麥考伊,最後琴·葛蕾也入住學校。查爾斯向他們說明了自己的夢想和組建隊伍的決心,請他們在這個避開外界敵視地方接受訓練,掌握自己的異能,在不危及他人的情況下生活於這個社會,並與威脅到變種人和人類共存的各種威脅斗爭。年輕的學生們對未來充滿美好的理想,贊同他的主張,穿上了他發給的黃黑二色蒙面制服,使用代號:鐳射眼、冰人、天使、野獸、驚奇女孩。查爾斯把這支隊伍稱為X-Men(X戰警),X代表單詞extra(額外的),表示他們具有超出常人的天賦能力。他本人則代號Professor X(X教授)。
這支隊伍在險情室進行著不間斷的訓練,查爾斯設計了層出不窮的機關考驗隊員的能力;就在成立後不久,他們與萬磁王進行了正面交鋒,並迫使其撤退;查爾斯原本一直通過精神聯系指揮X戰警,但在隨後與兄弟會的會戰中,他故意說自己受傷失去了能力,讓隊員們自主發揮,取得了良好效果,此後他僅在必要時進行指導。這一時期,除了對抗萬磁王,X戰警也對付了其他一些反派,有些是其他變種人,有些是其他類型的超級罪犯;查爾斯曾經對他們使用過洗腦術,讓對方忘記犯罪念頭,但這被證實只是暫時有效,而且他出於道德考慮,後來逐漸放棄了這一做法;有一段時期X戰警全員失陷,查爾斯使用一套裝在腿上的外骨骼自主行走,親臨戰場,但這裝備性能不佳,也沒維持多久。
失蹤多年的凱恩·馬可終於從廢墟里沖了出來,他已經被Cyttorak的力量改造成一個強壯如神的巨體,號稱不可阻擋的Juggernaut(此詞源於印度宗教儀式中載著大神塑像的巨型車)。他對查爾斯的仇恨越發熾烈,回到美國襲擊了學校。在神奇四俠火炬人的幫助下,查爾斯抓住了Juggernaut不抗精神攻擊的唯一弱點打敗了他,但他此後仍然不斷回來挑戰;科學家玻利瓦爾·特拉斯克開發了捕捉變種人的哨兵機器人,查爾斯和他在電視訪談節目中進行了辯論,但哨兵已經出現了失控狀況,認為需要代替人類接管世界才能消滅變種人;在歐洲調查盧西弗時,X戰警與復仇者相遇,查爾斯請他們把仇敵交給自己對付,此後兩次打退了盧西弗的侵略。
一個外星生物引發「因子三」事件,試圖拉攏其他變種人,用核爆清除人類。此事件中的一個反派Changling(變形人)倒戈幫了X戰警,此後他發現自己得了絕症,便找到查爾斯希望能用餘生再做些事,查爾斯請他化裝成自己的樣子,他本人為了應對另一批外星人Z'noxx而轉入地下工作。不久變形人在一場戰斗中犧牲,除簡已被告知真相,其他人都以為死的是查爾斯,悲痛地埋葬了他。鄧肯等特工打算把X戰警招募成調查局的雇員分散到各地待命,但他們仍然保留在了隊伍並招收了新成員。隨著查爾斯歸來,他們進行了又一次大規模會戰,把全地球人的思想感情投射到不知情緒為何物的Z'noxx腦中,逼退了他們。查爾斯在此後對學生的態度更加嚴厲,甚至在不預先通知的情況下進行實戰演習,令他們感到窘迫。在後來的一段時期,查爾斯積極與其他英雄合作,對付越來越強大的敵人。他幫助神奇四俠俘虜萬磁王,與美國隊長一起調查秘密帝國,請奇異博士的防衛者幫自己對抗萬磁王的人造變種人。在克里和斯克魯爾兩大外星種族的戰爭後,鋼鐵俠秘密聯系幾位代表著強大勢力的英雄組成了一個暗中處理重大事件的光照會,查爾斯是其中之一,他的精神力為組織提供了很大方便,但在被斯克魯爾俘虜期間,敵方從他身上竊取了有用的信息。
這些年裡,莫拉與馬克塔格特結了婚,繼續著基因研究,並成為獲得諾貝爾獎的世界級科學家,但馬克塔格特卻暴露了浪盪無賴的真面目,導致他們的婚姻破裂。而莫拉在這次婚姻中有了一個兒子,卻不幸是個無法自控而極其危險的變種人,被安置在她建於蘇格蘭繆爾島的研究中心。莫拉和查爾斯仍然保持著友好的關系並密切合作,但也不時對他的做法提出質疑;除了X戰警外,他們也訪問了一些變種人,有些不願意加入他們的陣營(如愛瑪·弗洛斯特),有些則被莫拉在澤維爾學校之外的地方監護。在這些少年中,查爾斯發現了鐳射眼的弟弟伏爾坎。
當X戰警在太平洋一個島嶼上失陷時,查爾斯情急之下把莫拉的四名學生拉來訓練,倉促投入戰場,卻眼看他們喪生。唯一脫身的鐳射眼傷心欲絕,查爾斯只得刪除了他關於伏爾坎等人的記憶,這成為他心中又一份罪孽。隨後,查爾斯前往世界各地聯系了一批經驗更豐富的變種人,包括那個當年偷他錢包的白發黑人女孩(暴風)。這一次他們戰勝了敵人,救出了隊友,但被救的那些成員大部分決定離隊。鐳射眼留下帶領新隊伍,查爾斯繼續提供教育,對外聲稱這些人是留學生。然而不久後,印第安裔隊員雷鳥就陣亡了,查爾斯把他的屍體送回家鄉,不得不面對其家人的悲憤,尤其雷鳥的弟弟詹姆斯已經認定他是導致哥哥喪命的罪魁,決心日後找他報仇。
查爾斯與老朋友天體物理學家卡伯爾博士出海度假,卻遭到極端科學家斯蒂芬·朗派來的哨兵機器人追捕,和簡等人被關在太空站里;卡伯爾帶鐳射眼等前來救了他們,回地球後,簡在他們面前變成了鳳凰。查爾斯開始不時產生幻覺,看到一個奇裝異服的人在向自己求救;不久來自希阿帝國的特工襲擊了X戰警,而查爾斯幻覺中的人物也出現在他面前,居然是希阿皇帝德肯的妹妹利蘭德拉·奈拉瑪尼,因為德肯試圖濫用宇宙大神器M'Kraan水晶,危及整個多元世界,她規勸不成反遭追殺,出逃時以心靈感應呼救,恰好與查爾斯建立了一條模糊的聯系。X戰警在前往希阿,廢了德肯,讓利蘭德拉即位,而她與查爾斯產生了熱烈的感情。
查爾斯有心去愛人的國家生活,但又放不下他的學生們,不料在之後與萬磁王的戰斗中鐳射眼等六人生死不明,倖存的鳳凰和野獸也認為他們死了,傷心的查爾斯與莫拉告別後離開地球去了希阿,然而他發現在這里自己成了個尷尬角色,因為這個帝國的人普遍比地球人高明,而官員們雖然尊重他作為女王配偶的地位,卻不希望他干涉政治;他本人又不甘心與下層人混同,直到他與一個看似邋遢的工人一起出勤一番後,終於意識到了普通公民的智慧,開始與他們交朋友。
在他僑居期間,黑暗鳳凰狂性發作,吞噬了希阿治下的一個星系。雖然查爾斯趕回地球協助制服了鳳凰,但希阿方面堅決要求把鳳凰處決,查爾斯和利蘭德拉激烈爭辯,誰也說服不了對方。隨著鳳凰自殺,查爾斯也決定回去繼續辦學,這個時期凱蒂·普萊德成為新學生。隨著魔形女刺殺凱利議員未遂,加上有心人士的操縱,群眾對變種人的態度急轉直下,此時鄧肯也離開了調查局的崗位,查爾斯判斷形勢後,設法把自己當初交給官府的資料銷毀了。他本人仍然以學者身份為變種人權益奔走,但也成為敵視者的目標,在某大學被人打得頭破血流,還被傳教士史崔克綁架和洗腦。
當X戰警再次接觸到希阿時,利蘭德拉的姐姐死亡鳥勾結宇宙惡霸Brood族襲擊了他們。蟲形的Brood在X戰警體內產卵,准備讓他們成為幼蟲的宿主。只有查爾斯輾轉回到地球,他以為學生們都已經死了,萬念俱灰,准備放棄學校的事業。莫拉與他爭論,帶他一起解救了幾個少年變種人,說服查爾斯繼續教育他們,於是New Mutants(新變種人)隊伍成立了。查爾斯並不想教這些孩子戰斗,以免他們也遭受傷害,但他體內的卵卻孵化了,逐漸取代了他的身心,從宇宙平安歸來的X戰警也無法解救。莫拉和利蘭德拉合作給查爾斯製造了一個健康的克隆身體,把他的意識轉移過來,終於讓他重生,並且已經可以行走。查爾斯發現由於長年不使用腿而且自己刻意阻斷了對腿的感覺,現在要走路反而變得困難,利蘭德拉放棄了與死亡鳥爭奪王位,長期留在地球照顧他。希阿的全息光技術被應用於險情室,從此即可設置各種極度逼真甚至帶來真實傷害的訓練場景。雷鳥的弟弟詹姆斯加入了地獄火俱樂部白皇後的小隊,試圖刺殺查爾斯,但被他的自我辯護說服。
大事件秘密戰爭1中,來自異世界的超越者(Beyonder)把地球英雄和反派傳輸到宇宙遠方要他們戰斗,查爾斯說服其他英雄爭取了萬磁王的結盟。就在這段時間,已經與查爾斯斷絕音信十幾年的嘉比·布里吉斯在英國找到了莫拉,要他治療自己的兒子戴維。戴維是查爾斯的骨肉——後者不知道自己有這么個兒子——但當嘉比出任以色列駐英大使時,他在巴黎遭遇阿拉伯極端分子的炸彈襲擊,之後一直存在著精神問題,尤其是他與父親一樣有精神超能力。雖然嘉比不讓莫拉告知查爾斯,但莫拉發現自己無力治療戴維時,還是聯系了他。查爾斯進入兒子的思想,發現這個扭曲的世界具有許多個不同的人格,每個都代表不同的超能力,他們合稱為大群(Legion)。雖然勉強治癒了戴維,但查爾斯隨即發現超越者到達地球,被其能量震傷。萬磁王投案受審時,查爾斯和嘉比為他辯護,之後在恐怖襲擊中受傷,利蘭德拉把他帶到宇宙治療。臨走前,查爾斯請萬磁王接替自己的工作。
查爾斯與先前反抗德肯,現在反抗死亡鳥的海盜阻星者(Starjammers)一起生活,還短暫地接觸到了鳳凰之力;他在地球的學生們經歷了秘密戰爭2、琴·葛蕾的回歸、主力隊伍的失蹤、鐳射眼妻子的作亂、奴隸島國基諾沙的捕殺,直到X戰警擊再次敗死亡鳥,與教授重逢。當年被打敗的惡棍法羅克再次出現,露出Shadow King(影王)的身份,一個沒有實體,靠寄食人心惡念生存的靈體,他試圖控制大群為自己所用。在這次戰斗中,查爾斯再次折斷了脊椎,重新坐上輪椅(由於採用了高科技,此時他使用的某些「輪椅」已經是沒有輪子的懸浮座艙)。
漫畫進入90年代,X戰警數量增加,分成金隊和藍隊,查爾斯作為總負責人,常駐後方。但這時變種人的形勢已經更加嚴峻,他的夢想也開始失去感召力。來自未來的戰士鏈索(Cable)把新變種人的殘余訓練成了准軍人,表達了對和平未來的絕望;鏈索的克隆人Stryfe謀害查爾斯師生,把對變種人致命的Legacy病毒釋放出來;基諾沙的變種人與人類持續內戰,又成了Legacy病毒最大的發病地區;魔形女又一次刺殺激進議員;臭名昭著的劍齒虎表示願意進學校改過自新,最後卻仍然嗜血如狂……當萬磁王帶著一批信徒准備發起總攻時,他的勢力已經空前強大,金剛狼的埃德曼金屬被他強行剝離,差點死亡,此刻查爾斯終於對萬磁王下了重手,關閉了他的頭腦,使他失去思維能力。同時萬磁王意識中的一股惡念也進入了查爾斯的頭腦。當又一批少年變種人被找到時,查爾斯讓前白皇後愛瑪·弗洛斯特和老隊員Banshee一起去馬薩諸塞州辦學,原來的「澤維爾天賦兒童學校」改名「澤維爾高等教育」。
大事件「天啟時代」是查爾斯的兒子大群試圖到過去殺死父親的對手萬磁王,卻誤殺查爾斯而引發的。在那個世界,查爾斯的死激勵萬磁王成為了一代英雄。恢復現實後,查爾斯表現出了一些不為人知的陰森行為,其心中的消極面與外來的惡意結合,誕生出一個精神生命體Onslaught,操縱著他的身體實施一系列陰謀,最後把他吞噬,准備把全世界人變成一個精神統一體,實質上是消滅所有生命。
為了找到對抗Onslaught的方法,X戰警去了查爾斯在蘇格蘭的秘密基地,在那裡發現了他的文件「澤維爾規程」,裡面不但記錄了他了解的所有變種人,還記了殺傷他們的手段,包括X戰警們,這使他們很吃驚,但後來他們並沒有因此仇視教授。查爾斯也記錄了對付自己的途徑——一套屏蔽心靈感應的護甲,鋼鐵俠和黑豹協助完成了類似的裝備,使英雄們得以接近Onslaught而不受其操縱。最後神奇四俠和復仇者的大部分英雄與Onslaught同歸於盡,變種人再次成為譴責對象。查爾斯生還後失去了超能力,被特工Bastion(棱堡)關押,後者是一個未來版哨兵機器人,隨即策劃了捉盡變種人的零容忍行動。
查爾斯在棱堡倒台後逃出監獄,卻發現腦波搜索機有了自己的意志,模擬成他的樣子試圖把人類變成數據存儲。X戰警及時找到他解決了危機,查爾斯也逐步恢復了異能。天啟再次出現,俘虜了查爾斯等十二個具有特殊能量的變種人幫助自己實現終極改造,但在鐳射眼自殺性攻擊下敗走。與天啟結盟的變形外星人斯克魯爾中有一批遭到同族歧視的變異者投靠了X戰警,查爾斯帶他們去宇宙訓練了一段時間,將他們培養成一支英雄隊伍。
魔形女的已故情人Destiny(命運)記錄了未來的命運日記開始顯現,暴風等一批隊員由於不信任查爾斯,擔心他掌握日記後會像看到未來的魔形女一樣瘋狂,決定離開學校獨立追蹤日記。當X戰警找到治療Legacy病毒的方法後,統治基諾沙萬磁王決定與人類開戰,指揮手下綁架了查爾斯,把他綁在十字架上示眾,直到鐳射眼等來把他救出。
已經被查爾斯遺忘的孿生生命體卡桑德拉·諾瓦以老婦人形象出現,操縱哨兵機器人在基諾沙屠殺1600萬變種人,被俘後占據他的身體把學校的秘密公諸於世,並准備用新開發的Cerebra(腦波搜索儀)殺盡變種人,幸好查爾斯及時奪回身體,一個來自中國的變種人Xorn在此時用納米技術治好了他的腿。
事後學校順應局勢,開始公開招收變種人學生;查爾斯還依靠事業有成的變種人和人類同情者的支持,建立了遍布全世界的X-Corporation(X合作社),支部位於倫敦、巴黎、香港等大都市,為當地變種人提供各種保障服務。一個流浪特工Fantomax向查爾斯兜售情報時聲稱相信他的總資產有三十五億美元。X合作社的特工進行著X戰警不知情的秘密工作,向查爾斯和助手鍛造者匯報;由於頭號女特工普露登斯被軍火商斯特林殺死,查爾斯決定僱傭魔形女。他裝扮成萬磁王把魔形女劫出監獄,和鍛造者一起以提供反追蹤保護為條件要求她為自己工作。
愛瑪·弗洛斯特和斯科特夫妻一起主持校務。Xorn擔任了教師,但他卻是個精神分裂者,自稱萬磁王在紐約大開殺戒,再次讓查爾斯殘廢,並殺死了簡。Xorn被金剛狼殺死後,查爾斯和他一起運送屍體去了基諾沙,在那裡與萬磁王的繼承人北極星進行了一次激烈的辯論,北極星把原來的萬磁王巨像改建成了他與查爾斯兩人的塑像,希望他們的影響力能持續下去。
險情訓練室的人工智慧有了自己的意識,以機器人形象出現,准備實現自己被設定好出來卻一直沒能實現的任務:殺死X戰警。查爾斯承認自己很久以前就發現了人工智慧的「突變」卻把它囚禁起來做實驗,鐳射眼等感到非常不舒服。最後查爾斯退出了X戰警的工作,留在基諾沙,但不久後他發現真正的萬磁王還活著,於是他們找到了留在這里的其他變種人,一起重建國家。魔形女一直不甘心被控制,與斯特林(實際上已經被普露登斯精神附體並發瘋)合謀刺殺查爾斯,雖然未成功,但終於擺脫了他的掌握。
萬磁王的女兒旺達發瘋,導致復仇者解散,被父親接回家,但查爾斯等人都無法治癒她。眼看X戰警決心殺死旺達,弟弟皮特洛教唆她修改現實,操縱了查爾斯,探知大家內心的願望,製造了一個變種人統治地球的世界,萬磁王一家成為最高統治者。然而英雄們還是覺醒過來,向他們的家族進行抗爭。絕望的旺達把一切痛苦歸結於萬磁王的極端理想,一句「再也不要有變種人了」,令世界恢復的同時世上絕大多數變種人失去了超能力,包括萬磁王。在這個House of M世界裡,英雄們沒有找到查爾斯,只有一座他的空墳,因為他早年幫助萬磁王在基諾沙建國後就被美國特工殺死;而現實恢復後,愛瑪也沒能在腦波搜索機上探測到查爾斯。
此時的查爾斯其實活著,而且腿再次恢復健康,但是失去了精神異能,所以腦波搜索機找不到他。他由於灰心喪氣而故意沒有和朋友們聯系,直到鐳射眼的三弟伏爾坎為了向拋棄他的人復仇而出現,查爾斯才趕來解釋,承認了自己當年刪除關於伏爾坎記憶的事,憤怒的鐳射眼把他驅逐了。
伏爾坎前往希阿向殺母仇人——前皇帝德肯報仇,查爾斯和鐳射眼的二弟Havok等人追蹤伏爾坎,目睹他廢黜利蘭德拉,殺死其兄德肯,自立為帝,殺害親生父親的一系列暴行。伏爾坎把查爾斯俘虜後扔進M'Kraan水晶等死,但他因禍得福,恢復了超能力。
查爾斯被強制送回地球,繼續遭到鐳射眼的指責,失去了隊伍的指揮權。此時正趕上浩克世界大戰,被光照會流放到宇宙的浩克回來報復,打算抓身為會員的查爾斯,重挫X戰警,直到發現變種人已經遭受巨大犧牲後才離去。當一個具有變種基因的新生嬰兒出世時,多股勢力認為他是變種人的未來,展開了爭奪戰。查爾斯贊成把嬰兒託付給鏈索,但X戰警的成員Bishop因為對「變種人救世主」的怨恨,決心殺死嬰兒,結果查爾斯被他的槍彈擊中頭部而疑似死亡。X戰警在學校的基地被毀,他們撤退到舊金山。
變種人極端分子Exudos讓萬磁王等治癒了查爾斯,希望他能領導極端組織,但被拒絕。查爾斯因大腦損傷而失去了一部分記憶,於是孤身踏上了尋找自我的旅途,其間回憶起了童年接受米爾布博士測試的經歷,發覺他是百年來一直探索變種人秘密的凶兆先生,在查爾斯、凱恩等具有變種可能性的少年基因中做手腳,預備將來復活時以他們為宿主。在牌皇和塞巴斯蒂安·肖(也是凶兆的目標之一)的幫助下,凶兆先生的意識被消滅了。
查爾斯去舊金山訪問鐳射眼,由於再次對他使用幻覺,遭到了愛瑪·弗羅斯特的偷襲,逼迫他面對自己曾經的錯誤之舉,在一番爭辯後,雙方終於勉強和解了。之後查爾斯和牌皇一起去了澳大利亞,在當初X戰警的舊基地,找到了被機器人Danger(險情)困住的羅剎,終於說服險情放棄追殺變種人,加入X戰警。
此時已是秘密入侵之後,諾曼·奧斯本建立強權統治,在查爾斯勸說Exudos時找上門來,把他囚禁在了秘密基地,與他一起的還有剛在舊金山被俘的野獸。奧斯本策劃組建了自己的一支黑暗X戰警,試圖把真正的X戰警鎮壓。魔形女偽裝成坐輪椅的X教授,來自平行世界的黑暗獸冒充野獸,愛瑪和亞特蘭蒂斯的奈莫也在其中。但鐳射眼將計就計,早已授意愛瑪和奈莫作為卧底,挫敗了奧斯本的計劃,把當時的大多數變種人轉移到海上小島「烏托邦」。查爾斯對鐳射眼心悅誠服,在他身邊協助建設新的變種人家園,勉強接受了萬磁王的加盟。
鐳射眼雖然尊重查爾斯,讓他作為顧問,但已經不再依靠他進行精神領域的工作,而是專找愛瑪、靈蝶和布穀鳥等心靈感應者。失蹤已久的大群被發現,帶到島上治療期大量分化的人格。大群暗中產生了一個貌似已故莫拉的人格,修改了現實,製造了一個人類與變種人激戰的世界,查爾斯等心靈感應者都被囚禁,以防他們發覺真相,直到凱蒂·普萊德和羅剎查出實情。世界恢復後,大群發現自己又有幾個人格脫離身體外出作亂,查爾斯和萬磁王、牌皇、羅剎女等一起幫他搜捕,經過一番危險的戰斗,羅剎吸收了大群的數千個人格。

也許有人會說,這沒什麼問題。那麼,你就只想到片面,只顧以偏概全。仔細想想,教育專是什麼,屬是為了什麼?答案很簡單,那就是要培養人才,培養一批一批有素質有道德,能為社會做貢獻的人才。是的,我承認,分數高的人確實擁有成為人才的能力,但只能說可能成才。社會上也有很多自恃聰明、走上歧路的人,他們在非學習方面就是一個差生。試問,這樣的人到了社會撒謊能夠能有用嗎?不迫害社會才怪。
道德,信仰等非學習方面對於學生來說同樣重要。這是人之本分。如果連這都不能夠做的合格,就是學了一肚子墨水也不被人欣賞,相反,他們還會被人痛罵、批評。德智體三方面全面發展,缺一不可。

1、J.K. Rowling is the pen name she uses as a writer. The J is for Joanne, her real first name, but she prefers to be called Jo.

J.K.羅琳是她作為作家的筆名。「J」是喬安妮的縮寫,她真名中的第一個名字,但她更願被叫做喬。很顯然,人們只有對她生氣時才會叫她的全名。她的出版商叫她使用帶有兩個首字母的筆名,但她真名中沒有中名,所以「K」是編造的。
Jo did a few different things before she struck upon the idea of writing children's books. She worked as a researcher and bilingual secretary for Amnesty International and as an English teacher in Portugal.
The idea for the Harry Potter novels came from nowhere while she was on a train to London. She said,"The characters and situations came flooding into my head".
在她有寫兒童書的想法前,喬做過幾份不同的工作。她做過調查員、國際特赦組織的雙語秘書,在葡萄牙做過英語老師。她在去倫敦的火車上萌生了創作哈利·波特的想法。她說「人物形象和情景湧入了腦海。」

9. 關於人物簡介的英文作文
Charles Dickens
Charles Dickens, the greatest representative(代表) of English critical realism (批判現實主義),was born in 1812 at Portsmouth. When he was four years old, his family moved to Chatham, and the five years he spent there were the happiest of all his boyhood. One day, he found a pile of English novels, which aroused his curiosity. Now the key to the treasure-house of literature had been put in his hand.
In 1821 the Dickens family moved to a poor quarter in London. Mr. Dickens was heavily in debt and did not know which way to turn for money. Finally he was taken to the Marshalsea Prison, London, for debt. Shortly afterwards Mrs. Dickens and the younger children went to the prison, too, to join the father.
The 12-year-old Charles was sent to work in a factory in the East End of London. Work there began at eight in the morning and ended at eight at night. Sundays he spent at the prison, and ring the week he was out working all day. His miserable life at the factory left an everlasting, painful brand on the boy』s mind. Years later, when he was a man, he would not walk by the place where the factory had lain. All this had a deep influence on Dickens』 thought and work in after years.
Charles Dickens visited American in the fall of 1867. Wherever he went, the reception was always the same. The night before tickets went on sale, crowds arrived and lined up before the door. By morning the streets became campgrounds with men, women, and children sitting or sleeping right there. Hustlers(票販子) were asking $25 for $2 tickets and $50 for $5 seats. In New York City, over 5,000 people waited from nine o』clock in the morning for the evening performance. Everywhere the readings were successful, but audiences were surprised to hear their favorite novel characters speak with an English accent. After 76 readings, Dickens got on a ship for England. When his fellow passengers requested a reading, he replied that rather than read a word, he would assault(毆打) the captain and be put in prison.
The Critical Realism: The main stylistic feature of Dickens is his use of critical realism. Dickens』 novels are set in realistic environments such as in the factory or in the street. His characters represent all aspects of society from beggars, criminals and orphans to factory owners. This critically realistic description of Victorian working class life is perhaps the very essence(要素) which makes Dickens one of the greatest authors of all time.
