4.(6分)About 2,400 years ago in ancient Greece,Aristotle was born.It was a period when the Greeks highly respected great thinkers and teachers,Socrates,Democritus,and Plato.Many historians believe that Aristotle was greater than all of them.
Aristotle is called "the father of biology."Many of his discoveries are still considered correct today.For example,it was Aristotle who first wrote that dolphins are not fish﹣through close observation,he had found out that they give birth to their babies rather than laying eggs,and that mother dolphins feed milk to their young.
Aristotle's way of grouping animals may have been his most important achievement.in biological science.Experts used his system for over 2,000 years.In 1758,a Swedish scientist discovered a new way of grouping animals.Aristotle placed the animals into two groups:those with blood and those without.In fact,though a little bit different,was approximately the same as the modern grouping system of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Professor Nardo wrote:"Although Aristotle paid much attention to the importance of evidence(证据),he failed to realize that doing experiment is almost always the best method of finding it.Yet,when he did simple and basic experiments,Aristotle was able to make mostly correct conclusions."
He also wrote that"Aristotle's influence on the future growth of knowledge was both negative and positive..." For example,Aristotle believed that the planets went around the Earth ,not the Sun.Because the later scientists believed in him blindly,he added that many of Aristotle's ideas brilliantly provided directions for modern discoveries.

6.(8分)When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong,China,we brought not only our luggage,customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders.Unluckily,this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part﹣time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One day,when I was serving food to a middle﹣aged couple,the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the old.As soon as I said that,who happened to hear what I said,took me inside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感),they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences,so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China,people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty,and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However,in the United States,people think "growing old" is a problem since "old"shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging,hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the old,they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn't want to hear.
After that,I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don't respect them any more.I still respect them,but now I don't show my feelings through words.
