Freedom and Responsibility

Freedom’s challenge in the Digital Age is a serious topic. We are facing today a strange new

world and we are all wondering what we are going to do with it.

Some 2, 500 years ago Greece discovered freedom. Before that there was no freedom. There

were great civilizations, splendid empires, but no freedom anywhere. Egypt and Babylon were

both tyrannies, one very powerful man ruling over helpless masses.

In Greece, in Athens(雅典), a little city in a little country, there were no helpless masses.

And Athenians willingly obeyed the written laws which they themselves passed, and the

unwritten, which must be obeyed if free men live together. They must show each other kindness

and pity and the many qualities without which life would be very painful unless one chose to live

南极洲：最后(一块被发现)的大陆

南极洲是地球上最冷的地方，同时也是最干燥的地方。南极洲年降水量几乎为零，严格来说该区域就是一片荒漠。南极洲覆盖了南极圈周围约1 400万平方公里的面积，是世界第五大洲。一条横贯南极洲的高大山脉，从东向西将南极洲分成两半。南极洲也有火山，但不活跃。世界上90%的冰都在南极洲，当然南极洲的大部分(70%)淡水也都处于一种冰冻状态。南极洲98%的地表永久地被冰覆盖。冰层平均厚度为2 000米，但某些地方厚度可达5 000米。受地球重力影响，会有暴风从极地吹向海岸，同时也有其他方向吹来的风。很难想象地球上还有比南极洲条件更为恶劣的地方了。

但南极洲仍然栖息着许多野生生物，它们已经适应了那里的极端条件。这里有不同种类的企鹅、飞禽、海豹以及鲸鱼。但是南极洲冬天的夜晚长达182天(地球上持续时间最长的黑暗时期)，气候极度寒冷，降水量极少，这意味着很少有植物能够在那里生存。这里仅发现了两种开花类植物，而这片大陆上什么树都没有。其他的植物也就是一些苔藓、藻类以及地衣。有些藻类已经适应了在冰上生长。

南极洲大部分的冰已经有几千年历史了。因此，它已经变成了人们了解过去的窗口，可以给研究者提供大量有用的信息。这些以火山灰形式封冻进冰层里的气体和矿物质可以告诉我们很多关于远古时期全球的气候情况。南极洲的岩石对于研究来说也很重要。它们大部分是来自外太空的陨石。其中有一块叫作“外星”的岩石，或许能够证明地球以外生命的存在。因为南极洲的大多数岩石是深色的，它们在白色冰雪的映衬下格外显眼，也易于识别和搜集。

南极洲是最后一个被发现的大陆。但是两千多年以前，古希腊的地理学家就相信地球南边会有一大块陆地来与北边的陆地保持平衡。他们称之为Anti­Arktikos或者Antarctica，意为“与北极相反的”。在15世纪欧洲人发现了美洲以后，大探险时代也随之开始了。然而，到达南极洲的步伐却始终非常慢。直到18世纪末，英国探险家詹姆斯·库克才穿越了南极圈，但他却从未发现任何陆地。后来到了1895年，一个叫卡斯滕·博克格雷温克的挪威人成为第一个踏上南极大陆的人。奔赴南极点的竞赛开始了。最终一名挪威人罗尔德·阿蒙森于1911年12月11日到达南极。
