EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION SINCE 1890

在美國高中的教學(xué)大綱中，閱讀和寫作占有舉足輕重的地位。專業(yè)的調(diào)研報(bào)告表明，11年級的男生平均一年要閱讀二十五萬英文單詞，而女生的閱讀量更達(dá)到了三十三萬英文單詞。大量的課內(nèi)外閱讀不但豐富了美國中學(xué)生的單詞量，更豐富了他們看問題的視角。這為大學(xué)階段的獨(dú)立研究性學(xué)習(xí)做好了充分準(zhǔn)備。

Reading and writing plays an important role in the American high school syllabus. Professional research shows that boys in grade 11 read an average of 250,000 English words a year, while girls read 330,000. Abundant reading in and out of classes not only enriches the vocabulary of American middle school students, but also enriches their perspective on solving problems. This is a good preparation for independent research at university level.

美國大學(xué)也經(jīng)常設(shè)置閱讀相關(guān)的留學(xué)文書題目，用以考察學(xué)生平時(shí)的讀書興趣以及由此反映出的人生態(tài)度。很多時(shí)候，學(xué)校往往還會(huì)更進(jìn)一步讓學(xué)生談一談自己得到的啟發(fā)和對書中觀點(diǎn)的評判。通過列出在過去一年里閱讀的書目，能夠很好的考察學(xué)生的求知欲和學(xué)術(shù)興趣。而讓學(xué)生在諸多讀物中選擇一本展開，又能借此展現(xiàn)他的個(gè)性以及品味。考慮到這些因素在申請中起到的至關(guān)重要的作用，申請者不應(yīng)以過于隨意的態(tài)度來回答這類文書題目。

American universities often set up reading related essay questions to examine students' interest in reading and their attitude towards life. In many cases, schools will go further and ask students to talk about their own inspirations and comments on the ideas in the book. Students' intellectual curiosity and academic interest can be best tested by listing the books they have read in the past year. Asking the student to choose one of the many books to unfold can show his personality and taste. Given the crucial role these factors plays in the application, applicants should not be too casual in their responses to these essay questions.

為了呼喚學(xué)生的終身閱讀意識(shí)，在寒假里提升閱讀能力，上海美達(dá)菲學(xué)校給大家按照數(shù)學(xué)、物理、化學(xué)、生物4個(gè)科目整理匯總了以下寒假假期可讀書目清單。

In order to arouse students' lifelong reading awareness and improve their reading ability in winter vacation, Shanghai MacDuffie School has compiled the following list of reading for students in four subjects: mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.

What is Mathematics？

《什么是數(shù)學(xué)》

作者：Richard Courant

在書中，作者貫穿了哥廷根學(xué)派數(shù)學(xué)統(tǒng)一性的思想，對基礎(chǔ)數(shù)學(xué)的四大基本分科：代數(shù)學(xué)、幾何學(xué)、分析學(xué)與拓?fù)鋵W(xué)作了精辟的概述，反映它們相互滲透的趨勢。此書還用較大的篇幅闡述了與應(yīng)用數(shù)學(xué)密切相關(guān)的微積分。由于作者十分強(qiáng)調(diào)數(shù)學(xué)的應(yīng)用以及它與其他領(lǐng)域的聯(lián)系, 因此使讀者的范圍大大擴(kuò)展：無論是初學(xué)者還是專家；無論是學(xué)生還是教師，都能從中得到教益與啟迪。

In the book, the author runs through the thought of mathematical unity of Gottingen school, and gives an excellent overview of the four basic branches of basic mathematics: algebra, geometry, analysis and topology, reflecting the tendency of their mutual infiltration. The book also elaborates the calculus, which is closely related to applied mathematics. Because the author emphasizes the application of mathematics and its connection with other fields very much, the scope of readers is greatly expanded: both beginners and experts; Both students and teachers can learn from it.

The Code Book

《密碼故事》

作者：Simon Singh

豆瓣評分9.0。從瑪麗女王上斷頭臺(tái)歸因于密碼書信的被破譯開始，用很多有趣的故事描述了密碼學(xué)的發(fā)展歷史和過程。如：凱撒密碼，古埃及密碼，恩尼格瑪密碼機(jī)和納粹的戰(zhàn)敗...一直到下一代革命性的量子密碼學(xué)。與其說是密碼學(xué)專業(yè)書，這本書倒更像是一本引人入勝的小說。

Douban score 9.0. It starts with the guillotine of Queen Mary attributed to the decryption of the cipher letter, and describes the history and process of the development of cryptography with many interesting stories. The Caesar code, the Ancient Egyptian code, the Enigma Machine and the defeat of the Nazis... All the way to the next generation of revolutionary quantum cryptography. This book is more like a page-turner than a book on cryptography.

A History of Mathematics

《數(shù)學(xué)史》

作者：Carl B. Boyer

本書把數(shù)學(xué)幾千年的發(fā)展?jié)饪s為這本編年史中。從希臘人到哥德爾，數(shù)學(xué)一直輝煌燦爛，名人輩出，觀念的潮漲潮落到處清晰可見。而且，盡管追蹤的是歐洲數(shù)學(xué)的發(fā)展，但作者并沒有忽視中國文明、印度文明和阿拉伯文明的貢獻(xiàn)。既有學(xué)術(shù)性，又有可讀性。

This book condenses thousands of years of mathematical development into this chronicle. From the Greeks to Godel, mathematics has flourished, with celebrities and the ebb and flow of ideas visible everywhere. And, although tracing the development of Mathematics in Europe, the author does not ignore the contributions of Chinese, Indian and Arab civilizations. It's both academic and readable.

Recommended Physics

《上帝擲骰子嗎：量子物理史話》 

作者：曹天元

這本書是關(guān)于量子論的故事。量子論是一個(gè)極為奇妙的理論：從物理角度來說，它在科學(xué)家中間引起了最為激烈的爭議和關(guān)注；從現(xiàn)實(shí)角度來說，它給我們的社會(huì)帶來了無與倫比的變化和進(jìn)步；從科學(xué)史角度來說，也幾乎沒有哪段歷史比量子論的創(chuàng)立得到了更為徹底的研究。然而不可思議的是，它的基本觀點(diǎn)和假說至今沒有滲透到大眾的意識(shí)中去，這無疑又給它增添了一道神秘的光環(huán)。

This book is about the story of quantum theory. Quantum theory is an extremely wonderful theory: in physical terms, it has aroused the most intense controversy and attention among scientists; In practical terms, it has brought unparalleled change and progress to our society. And few histories of science have been more thoroughly studied than the creation of quantum theory. Yet its basic ideas and assumptions have mysteriously failed to penetrate the popular consciousness, which undoubtedly adds to its aura of mystery.

The New World of Mr. Tompkins

《物理世界奇遇記》

作者：George Gamow

這本書是科學(xué)奇才伽莫夫筆下的科普力作，也是享譽(yù)世界的物理科普著作之一。伽莫夫充分地發(fā)揮了他奇特的想象力，從物理學(xué)的角度出發(fā)，把他以前花了很久時(shí)間所想象的奇妙的世界，通過本書呈現(xiàn)到了讀者的面前。在這本書中，作者構(gòu)想了一個(gè)名為湯普金斯的普通職員，也就是本書的主人公，他對科學(xué)一竅不通，卻通過科學(xué)講座以及神奇般地夢游物理奇境而捕獲了眾多的物理學(xué)知識(shí)，尤其是關(guān)于相對論和量子理論的相關(guān)知識(shí)。作者利用一系列有趣的故事將抽象的物理概念和規(guī)律形象化，用通俗的語言闡述深刻抽象的物理學(xué)原理。這本書不僅受到了科學(xué)界的普遍重視，也吸引了無數(shù)的普通讀者和科普愛好者。

This book is a popular science work under the pen of gamow, a science prodigy, and is also one of the world's most popular physics works. Gamow gave full play to his strange imagination, from the point of view of physics, he spent a long time to imagine the wonderful world, through the book presented to the reader. In this book, the author imagines an ordinary clerk named Tompkins, the main character of the book, who knows nothing about science, but captures a lot of physics knowledge, especially about relativity and quantum theory, through scientific lectures and magical sleepwalking in physics wonderland. The author uses a series of interesting stories to visualize abstract physical concepts and laws, and elaborates profound abstract physical principles in popular language. The book has not only received widespread attention from the scientific community, but also attracted countless ordinary readers and science lovers.

Recommended Chemistry

Oxygen: The molecule that made the world

《氧氣：組成世界的分子》

作者：Nick Lane

這本書將讀者帶入一個(gè)奇妙的旅程，如同驚悚小說一樣扣人心弦，它揭示了很多意想不到的事情。氧氣刺激了生命和死亡的進(jìn)化，這本書揭示了氧氣如何支撐生物復(fù)雜性的起源、光合作用的誕生、動(dòng)物的突然進(jìn)化、對兩性的需求等等。這本經(jīng)典的書籍可能會(huì)重新定義我們思考世界的方式。

The book takes the reader on a magical journey that is as gripping as a thriller and reveals many unexpected things. Oxygen stimulated the evolution of life and death, and this book reveals how oxygen underpinned the origins of biological complexity, the birth of photosynthesis, the sudden evolution of animals, the need for sex and more. This classic book may redefine the way we think about the world.

Atkins' Molecules

《阿特金斯的分子》

作者：Peter Atkins

該書作者是牛津大學(xué)林肯學(xué)院研究員，物理化學(xué)教授。這本書被稱為“有史以來最美麗的化學(xué)書”。作者揭示了我們?nèi)粘Ｉ钪信c織物、毒品、塑料、炸藥、洗滌劑、香水等有關(guān)的分子。這本書從原子和分子的角度來了解我們周圍的世界，揭示了許多意想不到的聯(lián)系。

The author is a research fellow and professor of physical chemistry at Lincoln College, Oxford. The book has been called "the most beautiful chemistry book ever written". The authors reveal the molecules associated with fabrics, drugs, plastics, explosives, detergents, perfumes and more in our daily lives. The book looks at the world around us from an atomic and molecular point of view, revealing many unexpected connections.

The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature

《紅色皇后：性與人性的演化》

作者：Matt Ridley

一本相當(dāng)不錯(cuò)的科普書，雖然作者自稱會(huì)很無聊，但其實(shí)很有趣，適合對生物感興趣的任何人。從書名可以看出，這本書的內(nèi)容就是關(guān)于進(jìn)化的觀點(diǎn)和看法，以及對人類的影響。每一章可讀性都很高，而且語言非常幽默，絕對的生物課外閱讀首選。

A pretty good popular science book that, while the author claims to be boring, is actually very interesting and suitable for anyone interested in biology. As the title suggests, the book is all about ideas and perspectives on evolution and its impact on humanity. Each chapter is very readable, and the language is very humorous, absolute biology reading first choice.

The Selfish Gene

《自私的基因》

作者：Richard Dawkins

豆瓣熱門生物科普圖書TOP1，這是一本講各種各樣生態(tài)系統(tǒng)里面博弈現(xiàn)象的書。書中作者道金斯的關(guān)注點(diǎn)，不在于遺傳法則、物種演化、優(yōu)生優(yōu)育或者群體的過去和未來；而在于我們體內(nèi)的基因是怎么樣使用我們這樣的個(gè)體，來進(jìn)行它們自己的博弈。

Douban's TOP1 biology popular science book, this is a book about the game phenomenon in various ecosystems. Dawkins is not concerned with the laws of genetics, evolution, eugenics or the past and future of communities; It's about how our genes use individuals like us to play their own game.

“身體和靈魂，總有一個(gè)要在路上。” 雖然特殊時(shí)期無法外出旅行，但是我們可以讀萬卷書，可以與書中的世界來一次美好的相遇。手中有書，心中有愛，每一本不同類型的書，都能讓人收獲，無論是思考還是思維。讀書不能改變?nèi)松拈L度，但可以拓展人生的高度，在書的思維里提升自我。

"Either body or soul is on the way." Although we can't travel during the epedemic period, we can read thousands of books and have a wonderful encounter with the world in books. Book in hand, love in heart, each different type of book, can make people harvest, whether thinking or thinking patterns. Reading can not change the length of life, but can expand the height of life, and improve themselves.

愿每一個(gè)上海美達(dá)菲學(xué)子都能愛讀書、多讀書、讀好書。

Hope every student in Shanghai MacDuffie love reading, read more books and read quality books.
