Passage two
Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers（哲人） of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador （大使）.
Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of twenty three he was chosen to parliament （议会）. His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.   　　
One of the Bacon`s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon`s time.

Passage three
You either have it, or you don’t --- a sense of direction. But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it, we lose it.
“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”
Jim Marland also said that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:
· If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
· If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on the route (路线) as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
· Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or walls in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are.

A. some babies are born with a sense of direction

B. They should never be allowed out alone if they don’t have a sense of direction.
C. They can develop a good sense of direction if they are driven around in a car.
D. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
48. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ______.
A. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
B. tie it to a tree so as to prevent it from being stolen
C. not take the same route when you come back to it
