Inventor, physicist, surveyor, astronomer, biologist, artist… Robert Hooke was all there and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the course of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect, Christopher Wren.
Hooke’s early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of 13, and from there went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, at he age of 28, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London- meaning that he was responsible for demonstrating(展示) new experiments at the society’s weekly meeting. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!
Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes(消遣). He invented a compound microscope(顯微鏡) for this purpose. One day while observing a cork(軟木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb-like structures. There were cells –the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院).
Another achievement of Hooke’s was his book Micrographia, which introduced the enormous potential(潛力) of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the thing he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion(燃燒) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on these phenomena(現(xiàn)象).
Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(火山口) on the moon is named after him in honour of his services to this branch of science.

A. friendly B. sociable C. creative D. helpful
Which is the possible reason why Hooke accepted the job as Curator of Experiments?
A. He liked designing experiments.
B. His family needed his support.
C. He wanted to please the famous scientists in England.
D. His parents couldn’t afford his education.
The cell got its name because of __________.
A. its use B. its shape C. Hooke’s favourites D. Hooke’s experiences
Which of the following is true according to the text?
A. Hooke went to Oxford in 1645.
B. Hooke was well paid in the Royal Society of London.

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”
In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.
Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.
Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “l(fā)ost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.
The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.
A. loss B. wonder
C. lucky thing D. terrible thing
Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.
A. he was a man difficult to please
B. she never knew when he was coming
C. she was too busy looking after her children
D. he never stayed long enough for a meal
What do we know about James’ behavior?
A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.
B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.
C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.
D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.
Maggie felt pleased when _______.
A. she paid James the money that she owed him
B. James gave some money to the children
C. she had to wake James up to catch his train
D. James thanked her for the nice supper
The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.
A. had been dead B. suffered from loss of memory
C. had run away from him D. might appear again one day
