Newton: The Last Sorcerer
Michael White
From the author of Stephen Hawking: A Life in Science, comes this colourful description of the life of the world's first modem scientist. Interesting yet based on fact. Michael White's learned yet readable new book offers a tree picture of Newton completely different from what people commonly know about him. Newton is shown as a gifted scientist with very human weaknesses who stood at the point in history where magic(魔术)ended and science began.

Fermat's Last Theorem
Simon Sigh
In 1963 a schoolboy called Andrew Wiles reading in his school library came across the world's greatest mathematical problem: Fermat's Last Theorem (定理). First put forward by the French mathematician Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, the theorem had baffled and beaten the finest mathematical minds, including a French woman scientist who made a major advance in working out the problem, and who had to dress like a man in order to be able to study at the Ecole Polytechnique. Through unbelievable determination Andrew Wiles finally worked out the problem in 1995. An unusual story of human effort over three centuries, Fermat's Last Theorem will delight specialists and general readers alike.

M: Well, it looks just like an ordinary plane, really. It’s about the same size as a plane, and it can carry about 50 passengers.
W: But it doesn’t act like an ordinary plane, does it？
M: No, it’s much faster. For example, you could fly from London to Beijing in only 30 minutes.
W: My goodness! And how does it work？
M: Well, shortly after taking off, the plane leaves the earth’s atmosphere and goes into orbit around the earth until it returns to the ground.
W: So it’s really a kind of space rocket.
M: Not really, no, for two reasons. First, a space rocket can only be used once, but this space plane can be used for many times. Second, while the plane is traveling through the atmosphere, the pilot can fly it just like an ordinary plane.
W: It sounds very exciting.

A．A satellite.
B．An ordinary plane.
C．A space plane.
D．A space rocket.

Egypt Felled by Famine
Even ancient Egypt's mighty pyramid builders were powerless in the face of the famine that helped bring down their civilisation around 2180 BC. Now evidence gleaned from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometres to the south was ultimately to blame -- and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile's annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons southwards out of Ethiopia would have diminished these floods.
Dwindling rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stablise the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt, along with sediment from the White Nile4.
The Blue Nile mud has a different isotope signature from that of the White Nile. So by analysing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta, Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of the Blue Nile mud in the river' would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4,500 to 4,200 years ago, immediately predates the fall of the Egypt's Old Kingdom.
The weakened waters would have been catastrophic for the Egyptians. "Changes that affect food supply don't have to be very large to have a ripple effect in societies," says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even more devastating, says team member Daniel Stanley, a geoarchaeologist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. "Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically."
Why does the author mention "pyramid builders"？
A．Because they once worked miracles.
B．Because they were well-built.
C．Because they were actually very weak.
D．Because even they were unable to rescue their civilisation.

Ancient Egypt Brought down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt's mighty pyramid (金字塔) builders were powerless in the face of the famine (饥荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B．C.. Now evidence collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile's annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons (季风) southwards out of Ethiopia would have reduced these floods.
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil. When rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt, along with sediment (沉积) from the White Nile.
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope (同位素) signature from that of the white Nile, so by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought, the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods, from 4500 to 4200 years ago, immediately came before the fall of the Egypt's old Kingdom.
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians. " Changes that affect food supply don't have to be very large to have a ripple (波浪) effect in societies. " says Bill Ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
"Similar events today could be even more devastating," says team member Daniel Stanley, a scientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C..
