I was born in the city of York,in England,in the year 1632.My father was a man of some wealth,able to give me a good home and send me to school.It was his wish that I should be a lawyer but my head began to be filled very early with thoughts of travel,and I would be satisfied with nothing but going to sea.My father give me strong advice against it,but with little effect.One day,being at Hull,I met a school-fellow who was about to sail for London in his father's ship,and he invited me to go with him,and without telling my father,I went on board. On the way to London,a storm arose,the ship was wrecked,and we barely escaped with our lives,I went on foot to London,where I met with the master of a vessel which did business with countries on the coast of Africa.He took a fancy to me,and offered me a chance to go with him on his voyages,which I gladly accepted. A great storm came up,and the ship was tossed (被颠簸)about for many days,until we did not know where we were.Suddenly we struck a bank of sand,and the sea broke over the ship in such a way that we could not hope to have her hold many moments without breaking into pieces.So we launched (使......下水)a boat.After we had been driven four or five miles,a mountainous wave struck us so hard that it overturned the boat at once.Though I swam well but the waves were so strong that I was dashed (被猛撞)against a rock with such force that it left me senseless.But I recovered a little before the waves returned,and,running forward,gt to the mainland safely.【缺少答案，请补充】

I worked as a manager in a company for a number of years. I liked my job, and was doing well there, but our company was bought by a larger company and most of the managers at our place lost their jobs. That was when I decided to do something I'd always wanted to do -become a freelance(自由撰稿的)writer.Changing professions(职业)has meant that my lifestyle has changed in a number of ways. The main difference for me now is that I have a much more flexible(灵活的) schedule. I work about as much as I did before - between 45 and 50 hours a week - but my schedule is much less rigid than it used to be. Before, I worked from 8 to 5 every day, with a few extra hours on weekends. Now, however, I work when I feel like it. For instance, sometimes I work until midnight or 2 A.M., then sleep until noon. I really prefer this kind of schedule. It seems more natural to me. I also decided that it was about time I began to pay more attention to my health. While I was working as a manager, I never exercised. I already felt tired after work, so I just came home in the evening and watched TV. However, last year I joined a health club and began to do regular exercise. As a result I have lost over 10 pounds and I feel much better. I've also started to eat more healthfully. I used to eat a lot of fast food, but now I do my own shopping. I buy lots of fruits and vegetables and cook them at home. Of course, not all the changes have been that easy. For example, I don't feel as secure financially as I used to. When I was working as a manager, I never worried much about money. I could always count on getting my paycheck every two weeks. Working freelance, I don't have a regular paycheck. So now I have to make sure there's enough money until the next check arrives. All in all, I really like my current lifestyle. Of course, that doesn't mean I'll never want to have a "regular" job. But for now, at least, it suits me.【缺少答案，请补充】

Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer: “I put out fires” or “I fix sick people” or “I teach primary school”. As a theoretical (理论的) physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley(硅谷). With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable-and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to -is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “What is the nature of Reality(现实)?” We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what is the nature of matter. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person. So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.【缺少答案，请补充】

There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: “Is there anything I can do for you?” and “How’s the car?” I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, and he’s determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress shoes and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness. His other standard question- “How’s the car?” - used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that “How’s the car?” is not about the car. It’s a father’s way of asking his adult daughter how she is. The advantage is that if there’s something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if you’re having marital problems or doubting a career choice, he might have to put Mom on the line. At age 30 I finally took the plunge (突然一跳) into adulthood by leasing (租) a car without my dad’s help or advice. I’m sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughter’s independence is evidence (证据) of a job well done, it still implies the job’s done, and many fathers are reluctant to retire. Even when my dad was overworked, he’d happily hop on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question, “Is there anything I can do for you?” underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. It’s interesting: Even though we’re tied by blood and I love him no matter what, he still seems to need a concrete function - suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare - to feel he has a role in my life.【缺少答案，请补充】

Judging from the first paragraph, the author has a very ___
