{{B}}Temperature{{/B}}
Three scales of temperature, each of which permits a precise measurement, are in concurrent use: the Fahrenheit,Celsius, and Kelvin scales. These three different temperature scales were each developed by different people and have come to be used in different situations.
The scale that is most widely used by the general public in the United States is the Fahrenheit scale. In 1714,Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit, a German physicist who was living in Holland and operating an instrument business, developed a mercury-in-glass thermometer and the temperature scale that still carries his name. His original scale had two fixed points: 0°was the lowest temperature that he could achieve in a solution of ice, water, and salt, and 96°was what he believed was the normal temperature of the human body (though this was later determined to be 98.6°).Based on this scale, he calculated that the freezing point (or ice point) of water was 32°; in later studies, it was determined that the boiling point of water (the steam point) was 212°. The Fahrenheit scale came to be accepted as the standard measure of temperature in a number of countries, including GreatBritain, and from there it was spread toBritish colonies throughout the worlD、Today, however, the United States is the only major country in the world that still uses the Fahrenheit scale.
The scale that is in use in many other countries is theCelsius scale.AndersCelsius (1701～1744), a Swedish astronomer, developed a thermometer in 1741 that based temperatures on the freezing and boiling temperatures of water. On the thermometer thatCelsius developed, however, 0°was used to indicate the boiling temperature of water, and 100°was used to indicate the freezing temperature of water.After his death, the scale was reversed by a friend, the biologistCarl von Linne (1707～1748), who achieved acclaim for his development of the Linnean classification system for plants and animals. On the new scale after the reversal by von Linne, 0° indicated the freezing temperature of water, and 100° indicated the boiling temperature of water.
At around the same time thatCelsius and von Linne were working on their thermometer in Sweden, a similar thermometer was being developed in France.
After the French Revolution, the scale developed in France was adopted as part of the metric system in that country under the name centigrade, which means "a hundred units," and from there it spread worldwide.
In 1948, an international agreement was made to rename the centigrade scale theCelsius scale in honor of the scientist who was first known to use a 100-degree scale, though it should be remembered that the scale thatCelsius actually used himself was the reverse of today’s scale.

A、third scale, the Kelvin scale, is generally used today for scientific purposes. This scale was first suggested in 1854 by twoEnglish physicists: William Thomson, Lord Kelvin (1824～1907) and James Prescott Joule (1818～1889). The Kelvin scale defines 0°as absolute zero, the hypothetical temperature at which all atomic and molecular motion theoretically stops, and 100°separates the freezing point and boiling point of water, just as it does on theCelsius scale. On the Kelvin scale, with 0°equal to absolute zero, water freezes at 273°, and water boils at a temperature 100°higher. The Kelvin scale is well suited to some areas of scientific study because it does not have any negative values, yet it still main

第4题： EricCarle EricCarle is acclaimed and beloved as the creator of brilliantly illustrated and innovatively designed picture books for very young children.Carle’s books utilize bold color and innovative techniques to try and stimulate a child’s imagination in order to facilitate the child’s transition from home to school. The Very Hungry Caterpillar, for example, is designed with scalloped holes through the pages to demonstrate how a caterpillar eats through different materials. This book has eaten its way into the hearts of literally millions of children all over the world and has been translated into more than 30 languages and sold over 22 million copies. Since the Caterpillar was published in 1969,ErieCarle has illustrated more than seventy books, many best sellers, most of which he also wrote, and more than 71 million copies of his books have sold around the worlD、 Born in Syracuse, New York, in 1929,EricCarle moved with his parents to Germany when he was six years old; he was educated there, and graduated from the prestigious art school, theAkademie derBildenden Kunste, in Stuttgart. But his dream was always to return toAmerica, the land of his happiest childhood memories. So, in 1952, with a fine portfolio in hand and forty dollars in his pocket, he arrived in New York. Later, he was the art director of an advertising agency for many years. One day, respected educator and author,Bill Martin Jr., called to askCarle to illustrate a story he had written. Martin’s eye had been caught by a striking picture of a red lobster that carle had created for an advertisement. BrownBear,BrownBear, WhatDo You See was the result of their collaboration. It is still a favorite with children everywhere. This was the beginning ofEricCarle’s true career. SoonCarle was writing his own stories, too. His first wholly original book was 1, 2, 3 to the Zoo, followed soon afterward by the celebrated classic, The Very HungrgCaterpillar. EricCarle’s art is distinctive and instantly recognizable. His art work is created in collage technique, using hand-painted papers, which he cuts and layers to form bright, and cheerful images. Many of his books have an added dimension-die-cut pages, twinkling lights as in The Very Lonely Firefly, even the lifelike sound of a cricket’s song as in The Very QuietCricket-- giving them a playful quality: a toy that can be read, a book that can be toucheD、Children also enjoy working in collage and many send him pictures they have made themselves, inspired by his illustrations. He receives hundreds of letters each week from his young admirers. The secret ofEricCarle’s books’ appeal lies in his intuitive understanding of and respect for children, who sense in him instinctively someone who shares their most cherished thoughts and emotions. The themes of his stories are usually drawn from his extensive knowledge and love of nature and interest shared by most small children.Besides being beautiful and entertaining, his books always offer the child the opportunity to learn something about the world around them. It is his concern for children, for their feelings and their inquisitiveness, for their creativity and their intellectual growth that, in addition to his beautiful artwork, makes the reading of his books such a stimulating and lasting experience. Carle says: "With many of my books I attempt to bridge the gap between the home and school. To me home represents, or should represent; warmth, security, toys, holding hands, being helD、School is a strange and n
