We all thought that they had a tragic experience and the Goddess of Heaven was too cruel. She used a river to make the couple separate from each other without mercy.

He entered Pisa University as a medical student in 1581，and became a professor of mathematics at Padua（15921610），where he improved the telescope1 and was the first to use it for astronomy.,At the time that Galileo arrived at the University of Pisa，some argument2 had started up on one of Aristotles（亚里士多德的）“laws” of nature，which heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones. Imagine Aristotle at the top of a building，dropping3 two balls，one twice as heavy as the other. According to his words，the heavier one should fall faster than the lighter one. At that time Aristotles words had been accepted as a truth，and there had been few attempts4 to actually test Aristotles conclusions by actually conducting5 an experiment！,However，Galileo decided to have a try. He needed to be able to drop the objects from a great height. The perfect building was right at handthe Tower of Pisa，54 meters tall. Galileo climbed to the top of the building carrying a variety of balls of different sizes and weights，and dropped them from the top. They all landed at the base of the building at the same time（it was said that the experiment was witnessed6 by a huge crowd of students and professors）. It proved that Aristotle was wrong. No matter what the difference is in weight，objects will fall at the same speed.,阅读短文，判断下列句子对(T)错(F)。1. Galileo and Shakespeare were born at the same year. （ T ）2.
