On numerous drives throughout my childhood, my mother would suddenly pull over the car to examine a flower by the side of the road or rescue a beetle (甲蟲) from certain tragedy while I, in my late teens and early twenties, sat impatiently in the car.
Though Mother’s Day follows Earth Day, for me, they have always been related. My mom has been “green” since she became concerned about the environment. Part of this habit was born of thrift (節(jié)儉). Like her mother and her grandmother before her, Mom saves glass jars, empty cheese containers and re-uses her plastic bags.
Mom creates a kind of give-and-take relationship with wildlife in her yard. She knows to pick the apples on her trees a little early to fend off the bears and that if she leaves the bird feeders out at night, it’s likely they’ll be knocked down by a family of raccoons (浣熊). Spiders that make their way into the house are captured (捕獲) in a juice glass and set loose in the garden.
I try to teach my children that looking out for the environment starts with being aware of the environment. On busy streets, we look for spent (開敗的) dandelions (蒲公英) to parachute; we say hello to neighborhood cats and pick up plastic cups and paper bags. This teaching comes easily, I realize, because I was taught so well by example. Mom didn’t need to lecture; she didn’t need to beat a drum to change the world. She simply slowed down enough to enjoy living in it and with that joy came compassion and an instinct (本能) for preservation.
I am slowing down and it isn’t because of the weight of my nearly forty years on the planet, it is out of my concern for the planet itself. I’ve begun to save glass jars and re-use packing envelopes. I pause in my daily tasks to watch the squirrels race each other through the palm (棕櫚樹) leaves above my porch (門廊).
Last summer, in the company of my son and daughter, I planted tomatoes in my yard. With the heat of August around me, I ate the first while sitting on my low wall with dirt on my hands. Warm from the sun, it burst on my tongue with a sweetness I immediately wanted to share with my mom.
Why does the author say Earth Day is connected with Mother’s Day?
A. Because Mother’s Day falls shortly after Earth Day.
B. To stress that all the older women in her family are environmentalists.
C. To stress how much her mother cares about the environment.
D. Because on Mother’s Day her mother shows her how to be friend to nature.
According to the fourth paragraph, which of the following is the author’s mother NOT likely to do?
A. When she came across a lost dog, she helped it to find its shelter.
B. In spring, she spent some time watching the plants growing in the garden.
C. She joined in the campaign to encourage the public to contribute actively towards a better environment.
D. She walked to a nearby shop which was within ten minutes’ walk rather than drove there.
What can we conclude from the article?
A. The author’s mother is very patient with her children.
B. The author’s mother knows how to live in harmony with nature.
C. The author’s mother always took care of the wildlife that came into her yard.
D. The author’s mother used to remind her to slow down to protect the environment.

A. the author thinks that too many people now label themselves environmentalists
B. the author’s mother knows how to get rid of the wildlife in her yard
C. the author believes that only by learning to slow down, can we enjoy life
D. the author realizes that she should teach her children by example as well
What is the main idea of the last three paragraphs?
A. How the author taught her children to protect the environment.
B. How the author’s mother influenced the author.
C. What inspired the author to slow down and enjoy life.
D. How the author spent her time with her children.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield．The cab had a woolen carpet with 36 lace edges．On the glass partition that 37 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting．Its windows were all clean．The customer was very much 38 and said to the driver，“I've never seen a nicer 39 ．”“Thank you for your praise．”the driver answered 40 ．
“The car isn't mine，”said the driver．“It belongs to the company．I used to be a 41 of cabs．When they returned，all of them were as 42 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish 43 here and there．On the seats and door-handles could be found something 44 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum．Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most 45 be considerate and refrain from littering．”
“So when I got a 46 to be a taxi-driver，I began 47 my idea into practice-to tidy and 48 the car． Now before a new passenger gets on my car，I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order．When my car 49 after a day's work，it always remains 50 ．”

1._________________________________________
George Lucas’ answer
Well, I would say you have to be persistent first of all, because it’s a very hard thing to get into, and it’s very hard to make it because the odds are against you. So you have to really love it; kids who get into it because they think they’re going to make a lot of money or be famous or tell a lot of people what to do all the time will never make it. But if you’re obsessed with film and you love to tell stories and you love writing in that medium, then that will give you the strength to be persistent and make it happen.
2. _________________________________________
Tom Fontana’s answer
I’ve never had writer’s block. I’m trying my luck because I’m hoping never to have it. As far as suggestions, I don’t know. If you write at the same time every day, your brain and your heart will be there, ready to go to work. It’s like how you eat at the same time over the course of the day – you should be available to write at the same time every day. If you have nothing to write, you should still write. Whether you write your name 100 times or describe a banana. If you write for five minutes, and you just get the words down, at least you’re doing something.
3. _________________________________________
Drew Barrymore’s answer
I would just say to persevere and find people who are safe and honest and who will give you tough love and guide you through, because you really can’t do everything on your own. You need love and support around you, and to believe that you will get past these hard times. You will overcome. Things will get better. Life is a series of ups and downs, and the good news is that when you’re in a low, it will always go up again. Life is not a free journey. There are a lot of lessons you have to learn along the way, but just appreciate the gift of it and find people who will be honest with you.
4. _________________________________________
Richard Seltzer’s answer
Become a doctor first because a writer doesn’t make a living – you have to support yourself and your family. But writing is a very individual thing. It’s like your fingerprint – on one else has exactly your style. A lucky writer will discover his or her style but an unlucky one will always be trying to force himself into an unnatural writing style. It’s uncomfortable, and for them, writing is painful. I’ve never suffered. My life has been a series of small, everyday events. If I feel I have rendered on little bit of life in the most compelling language I can find and am satisfied with it, that is an event I cherish.
5. _________________________________________
Ms. Jamie Hobart’s answer
It is a long road after medical school and internship but my job is different every day and very interesting. Not everyone can do this job. Autopsies are very different from any other medical job. Here we don't really let anyone under 18 watch or participate in an autopsy. So take a basic anatomy course in college and if you don't mind the cadavers, then you might follow it further. You have to have a very strong stomach and a strong interest in the science. If you decide you really like forensics (the work of scientists who examine evidence in order to help the police solve crimes) but don’t want to do autopsies there are lots of other things in the forensic field like the DNA labor various evidence – related specialties.

Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares(噩夢)about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him 13 his English.

Scientist Says ‘No’ to Human Cloning
“I’ve never met a human worth cloning,” says cloning expert Mark Westhusin from his lab at Texas A&M University. “It’s a stupid endeavor.”
That’s an interesting choice of adjective, coming from a man who has spent millions of dollars trying to clone a 13-year-old dog named Missy. So far, he and his team have not succeeded, though they have cloned two cows and a cat.
They just might succeed in cloning Missy soon — or perhaps not for another five years.
Westhusin's experience with cloning animals leaves him upset by all this talk of human cloning. In three years of work on the Missy project, using hundreds upon hundreds of dog's eggs, the A&M team has produced only a dozen or so embryos carrying Missy's DNA. None have survived the transfer to a surrogate（代孕的）mother. The wastage of eggs and the many spontaneously aborted(流產(chǎn)，發(fā)育不全) fetuses（胎）may be acceptable when you're dealing with cats or bulls, he argues, but not with humans. “Cloning is incredibly inefficient, and also dangerous,” he says.
Even so, dog cloning is a commercial opportunity, with a nice research payoff. Ever since Dolly the sheep was cloned in 1997, Westhusin's phone has been ringing with people calling in hopes of duplicating their cats and dogs, cattle and horses. “A lot of people want to clone pets, especially if the price is right,” says Westhusin. Cost is no obstacle for Missy's mysterious billionaire owner; he's put up $3.7 million so far to fund A&M's research.
Contrary to some media reports, Missy is not dead. The owner wants a twin to carry on Missy's fine qualities after she does die. The prototype（原型；雛形）is, by all accounts, athletic, good-natured and supersmart. Missy's master does not expect an exact copy of her. He knows her clone may not have her temperament（氣質(zhì)、性情）. In a statement of purpose, Missy's owner and the A&M team say they are “both looking forward to studying the ways that her clones differ from Missy.”
Besides cloning a great dog, the project may contribute insight into the old question of nature vs. nurture. It could also lead to the cloning of special rescue dogs and many endangered animals.
However, Westhusin is cautious about his work. He knows that even if he gets a dog pregnant, the offspring, should they survive, will face the problems shown at birth by other cloned animals: abnormalities like immature lungs and heart and weight problems~ “Why would you ever want to clone humans,” Westhusin asks, “when we're not even close to getting it worked out in animals yet?”
1.By “stupid endeavor”, Westhusin means to say that ________.
|
A．human cloning is a foolish undertaking |
|
B．a(chǎn)nimal cloning is absolutely impractical |
|
C．human cloning should be done selectively |
|
D．a(chǎn)nimal cloning is not worth the effort at all |
2.What does the first paragraph tell us about Westhusin's dog cloning project?
|
A．Its success is already in sight. |
|
B．It is progressing smoothly. |
|
C．It is doomed to utter failure. |
|
D．Its outcome remains uncertain. |
3.By cloning Missy, Mark Westhusin hopes to ________.
|
A．study the possibility of cloning humans |
|
B．search for ways to modify its temperament |
|
C．find out the differences between Missy and its clones |
|
D．examine the reproductive system of the dog species |
4.We learn from the passage that animal clones are likely to have ________.
|
A．a(chǎn) bad temper |
|
B．defective（有缺陷的、有毛病的）organs |
|
C．immune deficiency |
|
D．a(chǎn)n abnormal shape |
