37、makers that brew one or two cup servings of coffee.Both of the products brew the coffee directly into a cup or mug, eliminating the need for a separate carafe.

43、ed this attitude more strongly than Noah Webster (1758-1843). Born near Hartford, Connecticut, he received his education at Yale College and later began to practise law.But business in this proression was slow, and he was forced to turn to teaching. As a teacher, he soon discovered that the English

44、school books then in use were unsatisfactory, and the American Revolution reduced the supply of such books as there were. Webster therefore began to work on three simple books on English, a spelling book, a grammar, and a reader, and these were the firstgreat. It was soon issued again under the AME1

45、books of their kind to be published in this country. The success of the first part was surprisingly二 :二 again under the title THEwasfollowed b_ ERICAN SPELLING BOOK, and in this form about 80 million copies were sold during the next hundred years. From a profit of less than one cent a copy, Webster

46、got most of his income for the rest of his life. Not only did the little book have great influence on many generations of school children, but it also had the efftet or turning its author's attention to questions of language. In 1806 he produced a small dictionary, and thisAMERICAN DICby his gre

47、atest work, AN TIONARVOF THE ENGLISHLANGUAGE, published in two volumes inl828. In both of these works and in many smaller writings he had one purpose: to show that the English language in his country was a truly American tning, developing in its own special way and deserving fo be considered from an

48、 independent, American point of view. As he himself wrote J It is not only important, but in a degree necessary, that the people of this 'country should have an AMERICAN DICTIONARY of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England.some difftrences exist .

49、No person in this country will be satisfled with the English definitions of the words congress, senate, assembly, court, and so forth, for afthough these are words used in England, yet they are applied in this country to express ideas which they do not express in that country.n By giving American me

50、anings and American pronunciation, by adopting a number of American spellings, and especially by introducing quotations rrom American authors beside those from English literature, he was able, to a greatextent, to justify the title of his work. If, after a hundred years, some people still doubt the

54、ribing differences in personality was to classify people according to types, and such a system iscalled a Typology. A famous example of this method was set rorth in Greece about the year 400 B. C. A physician named Hippocrates theorized hat there were four fluids, or humors, in the body. Correspondi

55、ng to each humor, he believed, there existed a deflnite type of personality.of the humors,The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A person in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality. If a person had t理 much blood, he was called sanguine （血紅色

56、），or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritable and easiry angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since

57、discarded Hippocrates1 fluid theory. But the names 八 "', corresponding to thesetemperaments, have survived and are still useful, to someextent, in describing personality.Other features of people, such as their faces and physics, have also been used to classify personality. Today, however, p

58、ersonality theories and classincatioijs may alsp include factors such as heredity （遺傳特征卜 the environment, intelligence, and emotional needs. Psychology, biology, and sociology are involved in these theories. Because of the complexity of human personality, present day theories are often very different from one another. Psychologists vary in rneir ideas about what is most important in determining personality.63. According to Hippocrates1 fluid theory, a manwith too much phlegm will be A. optimist
