贴机经。V刚开始出现了一些11月JJ里看到过的题目，感觉踏实许多，在这里谢谢前人栽树！很佩服能记住很多题目的人，我只记下了一点点...感谢寄托提供的资料，无以为报！

Issue 1. The study of history has value only at the extent to our daily lives.
        2.Scholars and researchers should not be concerned with whether their work makes a contribution to the larger society. It is

more important that they pursue their individual interests, however unusual or idiosyncratic those interests may seem."

Arguement :  "Doctors have long suspected that secondary infections may keep some patients from healing quickly after severe muscle strain. This hypothesis has now been proved by preliminary results of a study of two groups of patients. The first group of patients, all being treated for muscle injuries by Dr. Newland, a doctor who specializes in sports medicine, took antibiotics regularly throughout their treatment. Their recuperation time was, on average, 40 percent quicker than typically expected. Patients in the second group, all being treated by Dr. Alton, a general physician, were given sugar pills, although the patients believed they were taking antibiotics. Their average recuperation time was not significantly reduced. Therefore, all patients who are diagnosed with muscle strain would be well advised to take antibiotics as part of their treatment. "

句子: He observed others in the stadium so ____ that others ____  him. (大概是说他观察别人太投入了，结果 反而其他人

Reading:
1. Supernova , 说照射到地球上的一种光线是从宇宙中什么天体发射出来的。提出一种解释，接着又把它推翻了。

没怎么看懂，不过好像是在讨论一个没有确定答案的问题 。

2. Volcano Ethia Eruption与其他火山比如Hawaii 的火山喷发不一样。因为Ethia 地下mantle的位置... Eruption 会对附近的

人造成影响。

3. 根据一个England Colonist 的记录，很多人认为 最早是 American Indian people --Plymouth  use fish to fertilizers. 但是又说以前有欧洲人被Indians 俘虏过，因此相反，fish fertilizer是欧洲人传授给Indians的。因为在midieval Europe已经有人使用了。

4. African Slavers research 参考written materials, 但是有人从African slavers abandoned cabinet, pot, cloth等一些遗留下来的实物进行研究。因为Written material 总是会有一些 bias, personal ideas。 而physical materials 是不会受到人为影响，然而实物研究的缺点又是 由于它们没有被保护起来而残缺不全。
