One day, I received a call from a colleague. He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem, while the student claimed a perfect score. I was elected as their arbiter(仲裁人). I read the examination problem: “Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer(气压计). ”The student had answered; "Take the barometer to the top of the building, attach a long rope to it, lower it to the street, and then bring it up, measuring the length of the rope. The length of it is the height of the building.”
The student had really answered the question completely, but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics. I suggested the student try again. I gave him six minutes to answer the question, warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics. Five minutes later, he said he had many answers and dashed off one, which read:“Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof. Drop the barometer, timing its fall with a stopwatch. Then, use the physical formula(公式)to calculate the height of the building.”
At this point, my colleague had to accept it, and then the student made almost full marks. I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were. He listed many others, and then added, "Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him, ‘Sir, here is a fine barometer. If you tell me the height of the building, I will give it to you.”,
Then, I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional(传统的) answer to this question. He admitted that he did, but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think.
The name of the student was Bohr who later was famous all over the world. He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1922.
1.The student got a zero at the beginning because _____.
A. the teacher wasn't satisfied with him
B. his answer wasn't complete or correct
C. the teacher didn't fully understand his answer
D. his answer didn't show his knowledge of physics
2.We know from the passage that _____.
A. the student knew the expected answer
B. the administrator told Bohr the height
C. the author preferred Bohr's last answer
D. the teacher was a very stubborn person
3.We can learn from the passage that _____.
A. instructors can teach students how to think
B. arbiters can help students to get high scores
C. students should be given more freedom in thinking
D. teachers should make students use physical formulas
4.What was Bohr's attitude toward his schooling?
A. Optimistic B. Critical C. Approving D. Neutral

“Your son is one of the sickest kids we’ve ever had in intensive care,” was what the nurse said to me after we had arrived in an ambulance, 20 minutes from Kingston Hospital to the Evelina in Westminster. The journey was the longest of my life. I had been told that my six-month-old son, my friend, my whole heart, was going to die. And I spent the whole time in the blue-lit vehicle wondering how on earth I would lift my wife from the black hole she was about to be plunged (投入) into.
The nurse who gave me that bad news was to become a great friend. She told me that the noise my son was making in the back of the ambulance was the sound that babies made before they died. There were many more horrible words and terms. But my son survived.
It wasn’t just George who endured. In the three weeks of his hospital stay, I slept 20 hours in total. My wife hardly slept. I lost over two stone in weight in the five days he was in intensive care. And we’ve been treating him for three years now. I have collapsed 20 times—the fear, the anxiety and exhaustion. Even now, we wake at least five times a night, often staying awake to treat him for as long as an hour.
My son has Type 1 diabetes (糖尿病). It’s a little known condition. George had a simple, everyday virus. It caused his immune system to attack his pancreas. Now he needs constant insulin (胰岛素) to stay alive. I wanted to raise awareness for George’s condition. I wondered how I could do it. I’ve run a couple of marathons. But a marathon was never really going to get people’s attention the way I hoped. Two marathons, back to back? Maybe three? Could I do it? How much could I endure?
I started running at the age of 19 when I thought my heart was broken. I couldn’t cope with the pain and I went for a run. I kept on going for a run. Each time I came back, it would hurt a bit less. It wasn’t so long before I had completely forgotten about my broken heart. But I couldn’t stop running. I found that any stress, frustration, anxiety would reduce when I went out on the road.
When we finally brought my son home from hospital, my wife told me I had to go for a run. She knew that I had not allowed myself to show the emotions I’d been feeling. I fought very hard not to break. It was my worst nightmare (噩梦) playing out, but it was also my wife’s. I did not want them to see the fear that I was feeling. When I got back from that first run, my wife simply said “Better?” and it was.
I’m often asked how I motivate myself for running such distances. They assume I think about my son. But I can’t really. If I did, I would weep the whole way round. The hard part of endurance running is mental. It’s strange to choose an event that you will never win. The race will always be larger than the individual. And if you don’t respect the distance, you will pay for it. The biggest mistake any long distance runner makes is to think about the finish line. Each time you do, the body falls apart. Actually, the brain falls apart.
I know I can run two marathons. I also know that the third marathon will break me. And I will be staring at another sort of black hole. It will be then that I think of my son, and all that he endured and continues to endure every day. I know that I will start to think of giving up, the pain will be so great. My brain will fall to bits and my body will too. So I will picture my son. And I’ll remember that he didn’t give up. He never gives up. Why should I?
1.Having heard what the nurse said to him, the writer must have felt .
A.desperate and fearful
B.special and different
C.bitter and lonely
D.disturbed and annoyed
2.The writer says he has collapsed 20 times because .
A.long distances of marathon made him worn out
B.he has to stay awake every night to care for his son
C.treating a sick son needs great efforts physically and mentally
D.his son’s condition is becoming more and more serious than expected
3.According to Paragraph 4, the writer’s running marathon aims at .
A.improving his son’s immune system
B.receiving encouragement from the public
C.raising awareness of his son’s rare disease
D.making himself strong enough to stand great pain

As an experienced photojournalist in Nashville, Tennessee, I was hired by USA Today newspaper to photograph a spinal bifida (脊柱畸形) corrective surgical procedure. It was to be performed on a twenty-one week old fetus(胎儿)in uterus(子宫)at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. At that time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for surgery. The worst possible outcome would be that the surgery would cause premature delivery, and no child born earlier than twenty-three weeks had survived.
The tension could be felt in the operating room as the surgery began. A typical C-section cut was made to access the uterus, which was then lifted out and laid at the junction of the mother’s thighs(大腿). The entire procedure would take place within the uterus, and no part of the child was to breach the surgical opening. During the procedure, the position of the fetus was adjusted by gently moving the outside of the uterus. The entire surgical procedure on the child was completed in one hour and thirteen minutes. When it was over, the surgical team breathed a sigh of relief, as did I.
As a doctor asked me what speed of film I was using, out of the corner of my eye I saw the uterus shake, but no one’s hands were near it. It was shaking from within. Suddenly, an entire arm thrust out of the opening, then pulled back until just a little hand was showing. The doctor reached over and lifted the hand, which reacted and squeezed the doctor’s finger. As if testing for strength, the doctor shook the tiny fist. Samuel held firm. I took the picture! Wow! It happened so fast that the nurse standing next to me asked, “What happened?” “The child reached out,” I said. “Oh. They do that all the time,” she responded.
The surgical opening to the uterus was closed and the uterus was then put back into the mother and the C-section opening was closed.
It was ten days before I knew if the picture was even in focus(对焦). To ensure no digital manipulation(篡改) of images before they see them, USA Today requires that film be submitted unprocessed. When the photo editor finally phoned me he said, “It’s the most incredible picture I’ve ever seen.”
1.It can be inferred from the passage that __________.
A. it’s a very common surgery nowadays.
B. there was little risk in the operation.
C. the writer was really a terrific photographer.
D. the baby’s little hand reacted the doctor’s finger.
2.In 1999, people believed that it was ________.
A. possible for a fetus 21 weeks born to survive
B. likely for a fetus born 21 weeks to become abnormal
C. right time for a fetus born 21 weeks to receive an operation
D. risky for a fetus 21 weeks in uterus to receive an operation
3.From the second paragraph, we can see that the surgery was ________.
A. challenging but successful
B. demanding and unsuccessful
C. simple and short
D. long-lasting and difficult
4.The underlined “It” in paragraph 3 refers to________.
A. the uterus B. the arm of the fetus
C. the picture D. the head of the fetus

It was a cold night in Washington, D. C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He asked if l would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs "Don't give money to beggars." So I shook my head and kept walking.
I wasn't prepared for a reply, but he said, "I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!" But I kept on walking.
The incident bothered me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have killed me to hand over a buck or two even if he had been lying. Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help thinking of him. I tried to rationalize (找借口)my failure to help by thinking government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. Besides, you're not supposed to give money to beggars.
Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds hundreds of hungry Alaskans every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their gardens dedicated to Bean's? Dedicate a row and take it down to Bean's. Clean and simple.
The idea began to take off. Readers would fax or call me when they got something in their garden. Those who only grew flowers donated them. Food for the spirit.
In 1995, the Garden Writers Association of America held their annual convention in Anchorage and after learning of Anchorage's program, Plant a Row for Bean's became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The original idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry sometime during the month of April.
As more and more people started working with the Plant a Row idea, new changes appeared unexpectedly. Many companies gave free seed to customers and displayed the logo, which also appeared in national gardening publications. Row markers with the Plant a Row logo were delivered to gardeners to set apart their "Row for the Hungry."
Garden editor Joan Jackson, supported by The San Jose Mercury News and California's nearly year-round growing season, raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed GWAA how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms donated food to their local food bank after being inspired by Plant a Row. Today the program continues to thrive and grow.
I am surprised that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in America--and we're seventy million strong--plants one row for the hungry, we can make quite a decrease in the number of neighbors who don't have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty about abandoning a hungry man I could have helped.
1.What does the underlined phrase "out of the blue" mean?
A. a bit disappointed B. suddenly
C. as a matter of fact D. attentively
2.The program has been supported by many farmers, journalists and people in different fields for many years. They usually donate many things to it except______________ .
A. money B. flowers C. seeds D. beans
3.Which is WRONG according to the passage?
A. In the eyes of most people, the program can really help the people in need.
B. Nowadays, the program is no longer a regional one, and it arouses the attention of many farmers, gardeners and journalists in the nation.
C. It occurred to the author that they could run such a program the moment he gave the beggar nothing.
D. The author felt relieved and surprised when he saw the program turned into a nation-wide one.
4.Which do you think is the best title to the passages?
A. Plant a row for the hungry
B. How to help others
C. A story of a columnist
D. Not for fame and wealth
