约翰·斯洛击败“霍乱王”

JOHH SHOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”

John Snow was a famous doctor in London - so expert, indeed, that he attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he became inspired when he thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never

1.大学课堂：还有人在听吗？

Toward the middle of the semester, Fowkes fell ill and missed a class. When he returned, the professor nodded vaguely and, to Fowkes’s astonishment, began to deliver not the next lecture in the sequence but the one after. Had he, in fact, lectured to an empty hall in the absence of his solitary student? Fowkes thought it perfectly possible.

在学期中间，Fowkes 因病缺了一次课。他回到课堂的时候，教授毫无表情地向他点了点头。接着令Fowkes大吃一惊的是，教授并没有按照顺序讲下一课，而是讲了后面一课。难道他真的在他唯一的学生缺席的情况下对着空教室讲了一课？Fowkes认为这太有可能了。

Lesson1 未来学

汉纳 琼斯展望未来

我喜欢谈论未来—而且还有很多人都像我这样。很多世纪以来，人们对未来好奇。有些人喜欢阅读幻想故事，想象世界在10年、50年甚至1000年内会变成什么样。其他人喜欢自己写关于未来的事。在18和19世纪，特别是后者，科幻小说的最常见的主题是未来。一些作者甚至预测到此后所发生的事情，例如登陆月球！但是对一些人来说，思考未来不仅仅是为了有趣。他们以设计世界的未来为生，这些人被称为未来学家。

这个周末，数百个未来学家将在纽卡斯尔大学举行会议。会议于星期五开始，专家们将会讨论未来的无数个可能。现在未来是个热门议题，许多人将参加研讨会，他们梦想在这个周末听到的预测的基础上开始新事业。我登陆了一些未来学家的网站，一下是他们的预言：
