Passage one
I was born in the city of York; in England; in the year 1632. My father was a man of some wealth; able to give me a good home and send me to school. It was his wish that I should be a lawyer buy my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of rambling; and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea. My father gave me strong and earnest counsel against it; but with little effect. One day; being at Hull; I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father's ship; and he prompted me to go with him; and in an evil hour; without asking God's blessing or my father's; I went on board.
On the way to London; a storm arose; the ship was wrecked; and we barely escaped with our lives. I went on foot to London; where I met with the master of a vessel which traded to the coast of Africa. H
e took a fancy to me; and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages; which I gladly accepted.
A great storm came up; and the ship was tossed about for many days; until we did not know where we were. Suddenly we struck a bank of sand; and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces. In this distress we launched a boat. After we had been driven four or five miles; a raging wave struck us so furiously that it overset the boat at once. Though I swam well the waves were so strong that I was dashed against a rock with such force that it left me senseless. But I recovered a little before the waves returned; and; running forward; got to the mainland safely.

Passage two
Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work; they can give a simp1e di
rect answer: “I put out fires” or”“I fix sick peop1e” or” “I teach primary schoo1”. As a theoretica1 physicist; I never had this 1uck . Society has come to expect many things from the physicist. 1t used to be that me on1y bad to discover the basic 1aws of the wor1d and supp1y the techniques that wou1d power the next of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortab1e-and what makes it hard for us to te11 our kids what we’ re up to-is that in this century we have become; though unwi11ing1y; gurus on questions such as “what is the nature of Rea1ity 现实”
We now deal with a whole new c1ass of prod1ems .We ask how the wor1d began and what is the nature4 of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.
So; when physicists get out of their cars in the morning; have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers; they 1eave a fami1iar wor1d and enter a p1ace where things act in of strange ways that are impossid1e for ordinary peop1e to understand.
