36、 by developing diminutive machines that brew smaller amounts of coffee.

Both of the products brew

37、the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe. Since many people make a pot of coffee in the morning but drink only a single cup, the new coffee makers should reduce the wasted coffee. Black & Deckers Cup-at-a-Time costs $27, whileToastmasters Coffee Break Retails

38、 for $20. Black & Decker also makes a coffee maker that dripscoffee directly into a carry-around thermal carafe. The carafe, a glass vacuum bottle, is supposed tokeep the coffee fresh for hours.

Born nearHartford, Connecticut, he received his education

43、at Yale College and later began to practise law.But business in this profession was slow, and he was forced to turn to teaching. As a teacher, hesoon discovered that the English school books then in use were unsatisfactory, and the AmericanRevolution reduced the supply of such books as there were. W

44、ebster therefore began to work onthree simple books on English, a spelling book, a grammar, and a reader, and these were the firstbooks of their kind to be published in this country. The success of the first part was surprisinglygreat. It was soon issued again under the title THE AMERICAN SPELLING B

45、OOK, and in thisform about 80 million copies were sold during the next hundred years. From a profit of less thanone cent a copy, Webster got most of his income for the rest of his life. Not only did the little bookhave great influence on many generations of school children, but it also had the effec

46、t or turningits authors attention to questions of language. In 1806 he produced a small dictionary, and thiswas followed by his greatest work, AN AMERICAN DICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISHLANGUAGE, published in two volumes in1828. In both of these works and in many smallerwritings he had one purpose: to sho

47、w that the English language in his country was a trulyAmerican thing, developing in its own special way and deserving to be considered from anindependent, American point of view. As he himself wrote, It is not only important, but in adegree necessary, that the people of this country should have an A

48、MERICAN DICTIONARY ofthe English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England.somedifferences exist . No person in this country will be satisfied with the English definitions of thewords congress, senate, assembly, court, and so forth, for although these are words used

49、inEngland, yet they are applied in this country to express ideas which they do not express in thatcountry. By giving American meanings and American pronunciation, by adopting a number ofAmerican spellings, and especially by introducing quotations from American authors beside thosefrom English litera

50、ture, he was able, to a great extent, to justify the title of his work. If, after ahundred years, some people still doubt the existence of a separate American language, his efforts,nevertheless, have left a lasting mark on the language of his country.59.

A famous example of thismethod was set

54、forth in Greece about the year 400 B. C. A physician named Hippocratestheorized that there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, hebelieved, there existed a definite type of personality. The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in who

55、m all fourhumors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had too much blood, hewas called sanguine (血红色), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bilewas choleric, or irritable and easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, ordepressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, orslow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates f
