第一章定語從句（guangxian錄入）

1,圖書館的出現(xiàn)使教育的發(fā)展成為可能，而教育的發(fā)展又反過來使圖書館不斷擴(kuò)大充實(shí)。

知識(shí)的增長遵循了一種復(fù)利法則。由于印刷術(shù)的發(fā)明，這一知識(shí)增長過程得以大大加速。

2,如果他們每個(gè)人都能予以信任來承擔(dān)這樣的職責(zé)，并在他們所管轄的范圍內(nèi)發(fā)揮主動(dòng)性,

那么管理費(fèi)用就會(huì)降低。

3,遲早可能不存在我們想得出但解答不了的問題，甚至包括我們意識(shí)到的問題。

4,至少由于氫彈、彈道導(dǎo)彈和登月火箭出人意料地發(fā)明，那個(gè)歷史時(shí)期宣告結(jié)束了。

5,關(guān)于威德爾海豹特殊的生理機(jī)制，在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里對(duì)其進(jìn)行的研究已作過詳細(xì)的描述。該生

理機(jī)制使海豹可以適應(yīng)長時(shí)間潛水時(shí)出現(xiàn)的極度缺氧。海豹長時(shí)間潛水時(shí)最深可達(dá)水面以下

500米，時(shí)間可持續(xù)70多分鐘。

6,20世紀(jì)50年代女權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)的復(fù)興產(chǎn)生了斯塔西學(xué)派，這一學(xué)派回避好與壞的二分法，認(rèn)

為邊境地區(qū)婦女和東部婦女過著同樣的生活。

7,書中的主人公湯姆與一個(gè)人發(fā)生了爭執(zhí)。這人雖然愛家中的寵物，但作為一個(gè)奴隸販子,

卻認(rèn)為“拆散夫妻，讓骨肉分離算不了什么”。

8,我們不了解工作給人們提供的能把充實(shí)的生活與空虛的生活區(qū)分開來的心理滿足的程度

有多大。

9,因此，強(qiáng)大的教育體系所應(yīng)具備的統(tǒng)性這?特點(diǎn)是通過提供各種機(jī)會(huì)來達(dá)到了。如果

10,雖然已經(jīng)設(shè)計(jì)出液氫驅(qū)動(dòng)的汽車，但是這些系統(tǒng)帶來一些由如何處理低溫液體而引發(fā)

的似乎難以回避的問題。

11,這樣做是為了促使學(xué)生學(xué)習(xí)，而學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)當(dāng)是學(xué)生生活中迫切的任務(wù)。

12,我們知道，（因?yàn)椋┡c我們?nèi)说难劬ο啾?，貓的眼睛能吸收更多的光線，所以貓?jiān)诤?/p>

夜里也能看得很清楚。

13,行為主義者的看法是：如果一個(gè)兒童在有許多刺激物的環(huán)境長大，而這些刺激物又能

培養(yǎng)其作出適當(dāng)?shù)姆磻?yīng)能力，那么他就會(huì)有比較高的智力發(fā)育水平。

14,雖然有多少個(gè)歷史學(xué)家，就差不多有多少種歷史學(xué)的定義，但現(xiàn)代史學(xué)家的實(shí)踐大都

15,盡管這條分界線并不算是國家領(lǐng)土的外緣邊界，但是，因?yàn)樵趪H法中領(lǐng)海也是國家

領(lǐng)土的組成部分，它的確是其他國家在其內(nèi)不享有一般權(quán)力的海區(qū)（內(nèi)水域）與其他國家在

其中享有某些-?般權(quán)力的那些海區(qū)（領(lǐng)海及其他區(qū)域）之間的分界線。

16,他發(fā)現(xiàn)原先比較容易教的學(xué)生現(xiàn)在躊躇不前了：原先比較容易教是因?yàn)樗麄兡馨呀探o

他們的所有東西都付諸實(shí)踐;現(xiàn)在躊躇是因?yàn)樗麄兠鎸?duì)著大量的在基礎(chǔ)教科書是所沒有接觸

過的英語詞匯和慣用法。

17,讀者如果略微仔細(xì)地閱讀以下幾頁就會(huì)有理由認(rèn)為，實(shí)驗(yàn)操作和思維在物理學(xué)中都具

有一定的地位，因而不能強(qiáng)調(diào)一方面而忽略另一方面。

18,公眾對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展的前景不樂觀，在議事人士和新聞媒體的某種鼓動(dòng)下，公眾的觀點(diǎn)似

乎是：不管證據(jù)或法律，司法判決對(duì)他們來說是不可接受的，這些判決將會(huì)延緩或者改變社

會(huì)走向。

19,我愿意利用這個(gè)時(shí)刻，利用這個(gè)舉世矚目的講壇，向那些聽到我講話并已獻(xiàn)身同一艱

苦勞動(dòng)的男女青年致敬。他們當(dāng)中肯定有人遲早也會(huì)站到我現(xiàn)在所站的地方。

20,最好在試驗(yàn)臺(tái)存在紊流的那些部位獲取試樣，這樣取樣的污染物在油中是均勻混合的。

21,我們希望富有創(chuàng)造性地生活在我們繼承的這個(gè)世界家庭當(dāng)中，這種希望存在于我們重

新建立人類個(gè)性和社會(huì)公平方面的生活道德目標(biāo)的能力之中。

22,從法國投降那一天起，巴黎就嚴(yán)加戒備，因?yàn)榍鼜挠谫滤果湹姆▏灱s投降時(shí)，

保留了一支相當(dāng)龐大的軍事力量，目的是為了威脅恐嚇巴黎。

23,每當(dāng)我寫文章遇到困難想打退堂鼓時(shí)，或是自嘆不走運(yùn)時(shí)，我就往那臺(tái)破舊的打字機(jī)

里卷進(jìn)一張紙，像媽媽當(dāng)年-?樣，一個(gè)字一個(gè)字吃力地打著。

24,舉例說吧：一個(gè)46歲的男子，在與家人外出度假之前進(jìn)行常規(guī)體格檢查。雖然他自我

感覺良好，但醫(yī)生發(fā)現(xiàn)他患了某種形式的癌癥，不超過6個(gè)月就會(huì)死去。這時(shí)，醫(yī)生該怎

么對(duì)他講呢？

25,在午夜和黎明之間，每當(dāng)我不能入睡，一切舊的創(chuàng)傷開始疼痛的時(shí)候，我常常想象未

來世界的惡夢般的情景，在所有登記入冊(cè)的億萬人民生活的這個(gè)擁擠不堪的世界上，沒有一

處有一線天才的光芒、獨(dú)創(chuàng)性的頭腦和豐富多彩的個(gè)性。

26,社會(huì)需要這樣的人：他們只為?種目標(biāo)所激勵(lì)，即積極行動(dòng)、恪盡職守、奮發(fā)向前。

27,然后他就拿去發(fā)表，有時(shí)詩歌發(fā)表了好幾年，為詞配的樂譜才寫出來。

28,我們生活在?個(gè)狹小的世界里，我們必須對(duì)現(xiàn)實(shí)主義保持警覺并有所認(rèn)識(shí)；現(xiàn)實(shí)主義

要求一個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，不是達(dá)到這個(gè)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，就是以失敗告終。

29,我們能夠讓孩子們接受我們所發(fā)現(xiàn)的最佳價(jià)值觀。

30,簡言之，你如何去行動(dòng)就看你如何想象自己。

31,據(jù)我們理解，一個(gè)成功者既代表個(gè)人又是社會(huì)的一份子，他的真實(shí)表現(xiàn)是可信、可靠、

機(jī)敏、真誠。

32,那些信任別人的人總是最受人愛戴的。

33,上溯到美國人的先輩，他們都有撇下了親人、不能替逝去的父母合上眼瞼的痛楚。而

如今的美國人在體驗(yàn)了遠(yuǎn)離我們大陸的兩次世界大戰(zhàn)造成的死亡以后，不論是對(duì)死亡的認(rèn)

識(shí)，還是對(duì)我們的生活方式的認(rèn)識(shí)，都一概不在意了。

34,老天啊！我真高興能與您交談寫作?？赡苣俏ㄒ辉嘎犖倚箤懽黧w會(huì)的人，您永遠(yuǎn)

不會(huì)厭倦我談?wù)搶懽鳌?/p>

35,當(dāng)然，18、19世紀(jì)的人文思想家們，他們是我們意識(shí)形態(tài)領(lǐng)域的先輩，他們認(rèn)為人

生的目的就是充分展示個(gè)人潛在的能力。對(duì)于他們來說，重要的是人本身的價(jià)值，而并非占

有和使用才是人的價(jià)值。

36,對(duì)于你們能用眼睛觀察事物的人來說，通過觀察那些難以捉摸的表情，觀察肌肉的顫

抖和揮動(dòng)的手勢，就能迅速地捕捉一個(gè)人的基本特征，該是十分容易和更令人滿足的事情。

37,她本來可以吸引很多人，只因她那副愁眉苦臉的表情，自覺做錯(cuò)事的樣子，急于討好

別人的舉動(dòng),或者也許是她以為別人會(huì)有意使她難堪而產(chǎn)生的下意識(shí)的敵意，往往把人嚇跑。

38,我們可以將這類“也許”排滿一張長長的單子，其中，我們能夠有把握加以評(píng)估的卻很

39,如果婚姻只是一種可以任意終結(jié)的親密關(guān)系，而家庭只是靠愛情的紐帶來維持，那么

婚姻和家庭則淪為可以自由買賣的市場，每個(gè)人都可以穿梭于一系列或多或少會(huì)讓自己心滿
