　Francis Bacon, one of the most important philosophers(哲人) of England, was born in London and educated at Cambridge University. When he was only 15, he went to France to work for the English ambassador (大使) . Two years later he went back to England to study law. At the age of twenty-three he was chosen to parliament (议会). His ideas about how scientists should study things in nature help to bring the modern way of thinking, called the scientific method.

　　One of the Bacon’s best-known books was his Essays. Each essay was a short piece of writing in which he tried to give a lesson by discussing sides of a subject such as studying, conversation, friends and healthy living. In many of his books, Bacon explained how scientists should study things as they really existed in nature and then tried to figure out what caused a particular thing to be as it was. Later, by doing experiments, the scientist could see that any one cause would always have the same result. This method, which is called inductive reasoning, is used by all the scientists today, but it was new in Bacon’s time.

　 A. Francis Bacon was the most important philosopher of England

　　Frank Lloyd Wright probably is the greatest architect (建筑师) that the United States has ever produced. He was very talented and had a natural ability to design buildings. His buildings were not only beautiful, but they were also functional (实用的). They fit their purposes very well. Wright's church, for example, make people feel like thinking and praying. His office buildings make people enjoy working, and his houses make people feel comfortable at home. However, Frank Lloyd Wright's beautiful, functional buildings are not the only reason that he is famous. There is another reason.

　　Frank Lloyd Wright is called the greatest American architect because he started an American style in architecture. More of the architecture in the United States before Wright was really European, not American. Wright's buildings do not look like those in old European States and in other parts of the world.

　　The most important idea in Frank Lloyd Wright's style of architecture is that a building must fit its purpose and the land around it. His houses are often called “grass-land houses” because their lines are similar to the lines on the grass-land.

　　I promised Michael I wouldn't mention this until the season was over. Now I think it's time.

　　Early last season , I wrote a column （专栏） about an act of kindness I had seen Jordan do to a disabled child outside the stadium. After it ran, I got a call from a man in the western suburbs. He said , “I read what you wrote about Jordan , but I thought I should tell you another thing I saw. ”

　　Here it comes, I thought. It always does. Write something nice about a person, and people call you up to say that the person is not so nice.

　　A few weeks later Jordan and I were talking about something else before a game, and I brought up what the man had said. Was the man right? Had Jordan really been talking to those two boys in that poor and dirty neighborhood?

　　“Not two boys , ” Jordan said. “But four. ”

　　And he named them. He said four names.

　　And what did they talk about?

　　“Everthing,” Jordan said. “Anything. I've asked to see their grades so that I can check to see they're paying attention to their school work. If it turns out one or two of them may need teaching, I make sure they get it. ”

　　It's just one more part of Michael Jordan's life, one more thing that no one knows about, one more Jordan does right. The NBA season is over now, and those boys have their memories. So do I! When the expert reviewers begin to turn against Jordan, as they surely will, I'll think about those boys under the streetlight , waiting for the man they know to come. For someone they can depend on.
