单选题{{B}}E{{/B}} Oceanography has been defined as "The application of all sciences to the study of the sea." Before the nineteenth century, scientists with an interest in the sea were few and far between. Certainly Newton considered some theoretical aspects of it in his writings, but he was reluctant to go to sea to further his work. For most people the sea was remote, and with the exception of early intercontinental travellers or others who earned a living from the sea, there was little reason to ask many questions about it, let alone to ask what lay beneath the surface. The first time that the question "What is at the bottom of the oceans? " had to be answered with any commercial consequence was when the laying of a telegraph cable from Europe to America was proposed. The engineers had to know the depth profile (起伏形状) of the route to estimate the length of cable that had to be manufactured. It was to Maury of the US Navy that the Atlantic Telegraph Company turned, in 1853, for information on this matter. In the 1840s, Maury had been responsible for encouraging voyages during which soundings (测探) were taken to investigate the depths of the North Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Later, some of his findings aroused much popular interest in his book the Physical Geography of the Sea. The cable was laid, but not until 1866 was the connection made permanent and reliable. At the early attempts, the cable failed and when it was taken out for repairs it was found to be covered in living growths, a fact which defied contemporary scientific opinion that there was no life in the deeper parts of the sea. Within a few years oceanography was under way, In 1872 Thomson led a scientific expedition(考察), which lasted for four years and brought home thousands of samples from the sea. Their classification and analysis occupied scientists for years and led to a five-volume report, the last volume being published in 1895.

Since they were scientists, they decided to do an experiment to test the watches. They went into their lab and filled a basin with water, put the watches in, waited for 20 minutes and took them out. They could see there was something wrong with both watches. They observed them for several hours before speaking to each other. They both silently found that the German watch was losing 60 minutes and the Japanese are doubled that. The scientist with the Japanese watch then slowly raised his head and said, "Both watch are out of work, but my watch is right more often than yours, so it's better." The scientist with the German watch went home without saying a word.

单选题A study of a university in Shanghai had found that many of the students there are using a quote (引语) from the Italian poet Dante as a kind of motto. The study at Fudan University, one of China's top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dante's "Follow your own path and don't worry about what others say" as their motto, out of 276 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by "Believe yourself" and "Self-improvement without stop." Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need. Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in children's growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.
