The family moved to Florence in the early 1570s. In his middle teens, Galileo attended the monastery school in Vallombrosa and then in 1581 at the University of Pisa, where he was to study medicine.However, he became interested in mathematics and decided to make the mathematical subjects and philosophy his profession. Galileo then began to prepare himself to teach mathematics and several of his lectures have survived. In 1585, Galileo left the university without a degree and for several years he gave private lessons in the mathematical subjects in Florence and Siena. During this period he designed a new form of hydrostatic (流体静力学的) balance for weighing small quantities. He also began his studies on motion, which he pursued steadily for the next two decades. In 1588 Galileo applied for the chair of mathematics at the University of Bologna but was unsuccessful. However, his reputation was increasing and later that year he was asked to deliver two lectures to the Florentine Academy.He also found some theorems (定理) on centers of gravity that brought him recognition among mathematicians and the support of Guidobaldo del Monte, a nobleman and author of several important works on mechanics. As a result, he obtained the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa in 1589. There, Galileo demonstrated, by dropping bodies of different weights from the top of the famous Leaning Tower, that the speed of fall of a heavy object is not related to its weight, as Aristotle had claimed. He continued his research on motion and by 1609 he had determined that the distance fallen by a body is proportional (成比例的) to the square of the falling time.Galileo died on January 8, 1642.4、Where did Galileo receive education in his middle teens?A. In Pisa.B. In Vallombrosa.C. In Florence.D. In Siena.5、What did Galileo do during his college time?A. He studied chemistry.B. He developed a balance.C. He carried out researches on motion.D.

Other children may have manners that are not like yours. There are all kinds of manners. Years ago,children who had good manners were seen everywhere. They kept quiet if grown-ups were talking.
