Inventor, physicist, astronomer, biologist, Robert Hooke was all the and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the 17th century. In the cour of his work, he cooperated with famous men of science like Isaac Newton, and the great architect Christopher Wren.
Hooke's early education began at home, under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School and from there he went to Oxford, where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impresd them with his skills at designing experiments and inventing instruments. In 1662, he was named Curator of Experiments at the newly formed Royal Society of London — meaning that he was responsible for demonst
rating (展示) new experiments at the society's weekly meetings. Hooke accepted the job, even though he knew that the society had no money to pay him!

Watching living things through a microscope was one of his favourite pastimes. He invented a compound microscope for this purpo. One day while obrving a cork (软木塞) under a microscope, he saw honeycomb­like structures. There were cells — the smallest units of life. In fact, it was Hooke who invented the term “cell” as the box­like cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of some place.
Another achievement of Hooke's was his book Micrographia, which introduced the enormous potential of the microscope. It contains fascinating drawings of the things he saw under the microscope. The book also includes, among other things, ideas on gravity, light and combustion (燃烧) that may have helped scientists like Newton when they were developing their own theories on the phenomena.

Parents often put their own relationship on the back burner to concentrate on their children, but a new study shows that when spous (配偶) love each other, their children stay in school longer and marry later in life.
Rearch about how the affection between parents shapes their children's long­term life outcomes is rare becau the data demands are high. This study us unique data from families in Nepal to provide new evidence. The study, co­authored by rearchers at the University of Michigan and McGill University in Quebec, was published in the journal 肉粽子的做法Demography.
“In this study, we e that parents' emotional connection to each other affects child growth so much that it shapes their children's future,” said co­author and U­M Institute for Social Rearch rearcher William Axinn. “The fact that we found the kinds of things in Nepal moves us to step clor to evidence that the things are universal.”大理哪里好玩
The study us data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study in Nepal. The survey was launched in 1995, and collected information from 151 neighborhoods in the Western Chitwan Valley. Married couples were interviewed at the same time but parately, and were asked to asss the level of affection they had for their partner. The spous answered “How much do you love your husband/wife, very much, some, a little, or not at all?”
The rearchers then followed the children of the parents for 12 years to document their education and marital (婚姻的) behavior. They found that the children of the parents who reported they loved each other either “some” or “very much” stayed in school longer and married later.
“Family isn't just another institution. It's not like a school. It is this place where we also have emotions and feelings,” said lead author Sarah Brauner­Otto, director of the Centre on Population Dynamics at McGill University. The rearchers say that their next important question will be to identify why parental love impacts children in this way.
5.Why is the rearch rarely done about the influence of parents' love on children's lives?
A.Becau few scientists show passion.
B.Becau the data are demanding.
C.Becau evidence is hard to collect.
