3、vided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. What was surprising was that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities.

11、ave inherited(继承) a good family name and then have passed it on to their children.A mans position among his people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen.

18、ting one overnight. He added lots of illustrations and he told his reporters to write articles on every crime they could find. And they did. One woman reporter even pretended she was mad and was sent to a hospital. She then wrote many articles about the poor treatment of patients in those hospitals
19、where madmen were kept. In 1895, Hearst came to New York from California. He wanted the Journal to be more exciting than the World.

25、without Arabic numbers(数字). No other number system ever invented has a simple way to write a number like 1984. In Roman numeral, it comes out like this MCMLXXXIV. Imagine how difficult it would be for a school pupil to remember it! The Arabs, however, call their numbers “Indian numerals”. This is pr
26、obably because they got the original idea a long time ago from India. There were no printed newspapers or scientific magazine then, so mathematics traveled along the same routes that silk did, as businessmen sold and bought goods. The Arabs took the new numbers and made improvements that quickly led
27、 to advances in technology. The achievement of Arabic technology can be seen from a passage in a 10th-century book about an Arabic city:” The neighboring country showed the results of careful work in agriculture, trade, and industry.
