From boyhood he had been interested in astronomy(天文學), and while at Cambridge he would sit up at night to watch the stars. But he was not satisfied with the telescopes of those days because they didn't show him a clear picture of things. At first he thought there must be something wrong with the lens. But no matter how hard he tried to improve the lens; the trouble was still there.
This set Newton thinking. He began to study the nature of light and colors. In the end he found that sunlight, or white light, is actually made up of a row of colors. He counted seven colors in all. This was of course a great discovery. But Newton still wasn't satisfied His mind was busy with another problem. Before Newton's time, scientists had already discovered that the sun, not the earth, was the centre of the other planets moving round the sun. But they couldn't explain why this was so until Newton gave the answer.
One autumn evening while Newton was sitting under an apple tree thinking over these problems, he saw the moon rise in the sky. Why, he asked himself, should the moon go round the earth, never leaving the same path? At that moment, he heard an apple drop from the tree. Why didn't it go sideways or fly up?
There seemed to be only one reason:the earth was drawing it-that is the force of gravity. If a stone is tied to the end of a string and whirled around, it will fly round and round in circles because of the string. In the same way, the force of gravity, thought Newton, must be the force that keeps the moon going round the earth and the planets round the sun.

Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman.A man goes shopping because he needs something.His purpose is settled and decided in advance.He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want.If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once.All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants.In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required.No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish:“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size.It happens to be the color you mentioned.”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is:“This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a women go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way.Her shopping is not often based on need.She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“having a look round”.She is always open to persuasion:indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her.She will try on any number of things.Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes.They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain.Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on.It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one.Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
1.What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes?
2.What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?
3.What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?
4.Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that
