13.Dr.Glenn Tisman,a cancer specialist,knew his young neighbor,Ray Bateman,had an unusual mind.But he had no idea at the time that 12-year-old Ray had the ability to become his partner in cancer research.
Ray's parents remembered that at age four,Ray surprised them by fixing; a broken vacuum cleaner (吸尘器).When he was ten,he speedily constructed the family color television from a kit.Later,he succeeded in assembling (组装) a complex stereo system after two experts had failed to do the job.
When Ray was ten,he convinced his parents to buy him a computer.In a short time,Ray was able to do amazing things with the computer.Ray shared his enthusiasm for computers with Dr.Tisman,who used a computer for his research. The two discussed computers and medicine frequently.Amazingly,Ray understood the biology and chemistry related to Dr.Tisman's medical research without any previous instruction.
Ray then worked with Dr.Tisman after school.He helped conduct research with the equipment and kept it in working order.The purpose of the research was to test the effectiveness of mixing an old cancer drug with certain vitamins.Ray analyzed patient test results by computer,while Dr.Tisman handled all patient contact.Together,they came up with solid research that helped advance cancer treatment.
In 1988,14-year-old Ray went with Dr.Tisman to a meeting of the American Federation for Clinical Research (AFCR),where Ray presented their initial research findings.Using terminology (术语) beyond the grasp of most kids his age,Ray told the scientists how the new drug mixture caused fewer and milder side effects for cancer patients.
A year later,Ray returned to the meeting to update the findings of his and Dr.Tisman's research.By then,he had become well-known for his devotion to finding cures for sick patients.Stories about him appeared in hundred of newspapers around the world.He appeared on television newscasts and talk shows.
Ray continued to spend most free hours working with Dr.Tisman.The two began studying the effects of vitamins on babies inside the womb.However,Ray's main interest remained cancer treatment,and he continues his research today.

59.According to the passage,RayA.
A.is a boy of many gifts
B.is very helpful to his parents
C.learned fast under Dr.Tisman's instruction
D.stopped working with Dr.Tisman after his success
60.What do we know about Dr.Tisman?B
A.He succeeded in finding cures for cancer.
B.He made a new discovery in cancer treatment.
C.He convinced Ray to become a partner of him.
D.He taught Ray knowledge related to his research.
61.What made Ray first known to the medical world?A
A.His presentation at AFCR.
B.His great skills in computer.
C.His devotion to cancer research.
D.His appearance on television newscasts.
62.Dr.Tisman's research is aimed atD.
A.providing different cancer treatments
B.proving the effects of vitamins on babies
C.finding the side effects of a cancer drug
D.testing the effectiveness of a new drug mixture.

62.D.细节理解题. 根据文章第四段The purpose of the research was to test the effectiveness of mixingan old cancer drug with certain vitamins.可知研究主要是为了测试新药的混合效果;故选D.

4.The CEO of Apple,Steve Jobs'story about death
When I was 17,I read a quote that went something like:"If you live each day as if it were your last,someday you'll most certainly be right."It made an impression on me,and since then,for the past 33years,I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself,"If today were the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?"
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered(遇到)to help me make the big choice in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer.The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable,and that I would live no longer than three to six months.My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order,which is my doctors'code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day.I was completely in despair.Later that evening,I had another biopsy(活组织检查)and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery.I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death.To tell the truth,no one wants to die.And yet death is the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.It clears out the old to make room for the new.Right now the new is you,but someday not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn't waste it repeating someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma(教条)----which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of others'opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most importantly,have the courage to follow your heart.It somehow already knows what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.
68.The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order becauseC.
A.he had to rest at home
B.his disease was not serious at all
C.his disease couldn't be cured
D.he had to wait for the result of the test
69.How did the author feel after the diagnosis?D
A.Angry       B.Excited       C.Optimistic   D.Hopeless 
70.What does the author think of death?C
A.He thinks it is nothing to be scared of.
B.He thinks it is not the end of life.
C.He thinks it is impossible to avoid.
D.He thinks it is the beginning of a new life
71.In the author's opinion,we shouldD
A.follow others'advice
B.take no notice of diseases
C.take exercise and keep healthy
D have the courage to follow our  heart.
