WHAT’S the most important thing of life?
People’s answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards,the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child,”he told the BBC.
Edwards,the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization(IVF)technology—more commonly known as“test?tube(试管)baby”technology—passed away on April 10 ,2013 at the age of 87.
Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice(充满喜悦)in the gift of their own child,”said Peter Braude,professor at King’s College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”
Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s,when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time,much of the public viewed test-tube babies as“scary”,according to Mark Sauer,professor at Columbia University,US.
Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches,governments and media,not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature,”Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.
“But Edwards was a fighter,and he believed in what he was doing,”said Sauer. Without support from the government,the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.
The first test-tube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown. Despite people’s safety concerns,Brown was just as healthy as other children.
“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun,”BBC commented.
Ever since then,public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging(蜂拥)to Edwards’ clinic. Nowadays,Reuters reports,some 4.3 million other“test-tube” children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted(封为爵士)by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ the following year.
Before his death,Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me,”she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.
He is a granddad to millions, in fact.
1.What is the article mainly about?
A.The first test-tube baby.
B.A new era in medicine.
C.The inventor of IVF technology.
D.The changes IVF technology has brought.
2.The writer quoted Peter Braude to ________.
A.show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his work

C.explain why he is loved by all children
D.comment on his achievement
3.The underlined word“opposition”in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.
A.attack B.support
C.test D.influence
4.What is the CORRECT order of events in Edwards’ life?
a.He received a Nobel Prize.
b.He struggled to raise funds.
c.The first test-tube baby was born.
d.He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.

Great Britain consists of four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. On the 13th century Wales was linked to England. In 1603, they were joined to Scotland. They were united in peace instead of by war. Furthermore, just as they were going to get Ireland connecting to form United Kingdom, the southern part of Ireland was broke away, so only Northern Ireland joined with England.
England is the larger of the four countries and for convenience it was divided into three zone: the South of England, the Midlands and the North. Most of the population are settled in the South, and most of the industrial cities is located in the Midlands and the North.

How to Survive Embarrassing Moments
Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into thin air. Unfortunately, embarrassing things happen to everyone at one time or another. The good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum.Here's some help.
Laugh it off
You're staring at your crush (意中人) so hard that you walk into a wall.You trip over your own feet and drop all your books.The best thing you can do? As long as you're not seriously hurt, laugh it off.Say like "Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!" or "It took me years to learn that!" By laughing at yourself, you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation.That's bound to make a stronger impression than the fact that you dropped a stack of books.
Move on
Some situations are too personal to laugh off.Your underwear falls out of your backpack. Your bathing suit falls off in the pool.You pass gas while giving a presentation.Making a joke would just call more attention to what happened — and that's the last thing you want.What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go back to what you were doing, or you can acknowledge it with a "Oh, that was awkward" and then move on.
If there's a joker who thinks it's a good idea to point out how badly you just embarrassed yourself, fix him with a glare and then go back to whatever you were doing.Tell yourself he's a little bug on the ground, not even worth thinking about.Remind yourself that it's over, done.Move on.
Apologize and move on
Some embarrassing situations pack a double punch.Not only do you embarrass yourself, but you make someone else feel bad.You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat, and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you.You imitate your teacher's unusual accent just as the teacher walks in.Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.
Making a joke now would make the situation even worse, so don't go there.Although you might feel like running away or even crying, neither of those responses will make you look better.Instead, apologize, "I'm so sorry.That was really mean of me."
If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent, accept whatever consequences without complaint.If you've hurt a friend, do your best to make it up to them.Once you've done all you can to make things right again, move on.If someone else brings it up, just say, "I feel bad enough about that —can we just let it go, please?"
The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment, remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this.Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.
Topic | It is true that we cannot1.____________ getting embarrassed. | |
2.________ on how to keep the damage to the minimum | Laugh it off | Laugh it off3.________ you are seriously hurt. Laughing at yourself helps show your 4.__________, which will make a deeper impression than your embarrassment. |
Move on | In some embarrassing situations, you can just move on after 5. _________ it with a “Oh, that was awkward.” If someone points out your embarrassment and laugh at you, 6. _______ at him and continue what you are doing. Tell yourself that those who laugh at you are not 7._________ of your consideration. | |
Make an 8. _________ and than move on | If you show disrespect for teachers or parents, face consequences rather than 9. ________. Make things right again and move on. If someone else 10.________ your mistake, tell him that you hope to let it go. | |
Conclusion | Stay calm and act confident and you’ll survive embarrassing moments. | |

Sharks have lived in the world’s oceans for millions of years. A shark has a very good sense of smell. It can find small amounts of substances in water, such as blood, body liquids and chemicals produced by animals. These powerful senses help sharks find their food. 1.
Sharks grow slowly. About forty percent of all sharks lay eggs. 2. Some sharks carry their young inside their bodies as humans do. Some sharks are not able to reproduce until they are twenty years old. Most reproduce only every two years. And they give birth to fewer than ten young sharks. For this reason, over-fishing of sharks is of special danger to the future of the animal.
3. They eat injured and diseased fish. Their hunting activities mean that the numbers of other fish in ocean waters do not become too great. This protects the plants and other forms of life that exist in the oceans.
People hunt sharks for sport, food, medicine and their skin. Experts say the international market for some kinds of sharks has increased because many parts of a shark are valuable. 4. Shark liver oil is a popular source of Vitamin. The skin of a shark can be used like leather. In Asia, people enjoy a kind of soup made from shark fins. Experts say a fisherman can earn a lot of money for even one kilogram of shark fins.
Sharks are among the oldest animals on Earth. 5. If too many sharks in one area are killed, the group of sharks may never return to normal population levels.
