  The names of Galen,Andess Vesalius,and William Harvey figure prominently in the history of man's study,of his own body.Galen,a Greek who practiced medicine in Rome inthe second century AD,contributed immeasurably to the understanding of anatomy(解剖学).His dissections(解析)were limited to Barbry apes,however,because Roman religious and philosophical attitudes made experimentation on the human body unthinkable.Even so,his reputation(名誉)was so outstanding and his conclusions were so logical that his writings on anatomy and physiology were accepted by medical men for more than a thousand years.

  Vesalius,a Belgian who went to Paris to study medicine,made the first major successful challenge of the teachings that knowledge of human anatomy should be learned from human bodies.No one took him seriously because there was a French law prohibiting(forbidding)dissection(解剖)of the human body.Vesalias,nevertheless,conducted research in secret.When he published his book on human anatomy in 1543,medical scientists criticized him for daring to attack the writings of Galen.

  Eighty-five years later,an English physician named Harvey published a book that disproved Galen's theory of blood circulation.Although Harvey's explanation was not universally accepted at the time,medical men of today credit him with one of the greatest advances in medical history.

Last evening I was watching the evening news on television. The news was about a prize for scientific  1   ;I forgot what it was. The announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my  2  .“All great discoveries,”he said,“are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”  3   a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him.  4   wants to think that he is past the age of making any discovery. The next day I happened to be in the public library and spent several hours looking up the  5  of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.

First I looked at some of the   6   discoveries. One of the earliest discoveries, the famous experiment that proved that bodies of different  7   fall at the same speed, was made by Galileo when he was 26. Madam Curie started her research that  8   to the Nobel Prize when she was 28. Einstein was 26 when he published his world-changing theory of relativity. Well,  9   of that. Yet I  10   if those“best years”were true in other  11   .

Then how about the field of   12   ? Surely it needs the wisdom of age to make a good leader. Perhaps it  13   ,but look when these people  14   their career. Winston Churchill was elected to the House of Commons at the age of 26. Abraham Lincoln  15   the life of a country lawyer and was elected to government. At what age? Twenty-six.

But why  16   best years some after thirty? After thirty, I  17   ,most people do not want to take risks or try   18   ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the ripe age of fifty, while the latter was  19   trying new ways of painting when he was ninety!

Perhaps there is still  20   for me.
