But he became inspired when he thought about helping or dinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause n or its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that c holera would never be controlled until its cause was found.He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated aroun d until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon th e affected person died.John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence. So wh en another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry. As the disease s pread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gather information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why.First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had lived. This ga ve him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the wat er pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 and 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not dru nk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame.Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found tha t it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. He immediately told the as tonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle from the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed down. He had shown that cholera was spread by g erms and not in a cloud of gas.In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that wer e linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away from Broad Street, li ked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with certainty that polluted water carried the virus.To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the w ater supplies be examined. The water companies were instructed not to expose people to poll uted water any more. Finally "King Cholera" was defeated.COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONRRY THE ORYNicolaus Copernicus was frightened and his mind was confused. Although he had tried t o ignore them, all his mathematical calculations led to the same conclusion: that the earth wa s not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky make sense. Yet he could not tell anyone about his theory as the po werful Christian Church would have punished him for even suggesting such an idea. They be lieved God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the ce ntre of the solar system.The problem arose because astronomers had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared brighter at times an d less bright at others. This was very strange if the earth was the centre of the solar system and all planets went round it.Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems and tried to find an answer. He had collected observations of the stars and used all his mathematical knowledge to expla in them. But only his new theory could do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on it, gradually improving his theory until he felt it was complete.In 1514 he showed it privately to his friends. The changes he made to the old theory w ere revolutionary. He placed a fixed sun at the centre of the solar system with the planets go ing round it and only the moon still going round the earth. He also suggested that the earth was spinning as it went round the sun and this explained changes in the movement of the pl anets and in the brightness of the stars. His friends were enthusiastic and encouraged him to publish his ideas, but Copernicus was cautious. He did not want to be attacked by the Christi an Church, so he only published it as he lay dying in 1543.Certainly he was right to be careful. The Christian Church rejected his theory, saying it was against God's idea and people who supported it would be attacked. Yet Copernicus' theor y is now the basis on which all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory replaced the C hristian idea of gravity, which said things fell to earth because God created the earth as the c entre of the universe. Copernicus showed this was obviously wrong. Now people can see that there is a direct link between his theory and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.必修5 Unit 2PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHYPeople may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: Engla nd, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history.First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when peo ple refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined t o Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of Englan d and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to f orm the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, t he southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So o nly Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdo m and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack.To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and i nternational relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ir eland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly int o three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is ca lled the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of t he population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the N orth of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they h ave world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the indus trial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture yo u have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatre s, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national government and its administration. It has th e oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building begun by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their to wns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabulary and place-names of the North of England, and t he fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom en joyable and worthwhile.SIGHTSEEING IN LONDONWorried about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Nor man invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained standing for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a roya l palace and prison combined. To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels guarded by special royal soldiers who, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It look ed splendid when first built! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statu es in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of t he abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, ringing out the hour. She fi nished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in Londo n. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock that sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an imaginary line dividing the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation. It pas ses through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo taken standing on either side of the line.The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man who had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only th at, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. Sa dly the library had moved from its original place into another building and the old reading ro om was gone. But she was thrilled by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures di splayed in the museum. When she saw many visitors enjoying looking at the beautiful old C hinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. "Perhaps I will see the Q ueen?" she wondered as she fell asleep.必修5 Unit 3按住Ctrl键单击鼠标打开配套教学视频名师讲课播放 .。
