    Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

    Born in September, 1897, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies' two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

    Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X?ray facilities(设备) to help save the lives of wounded soldiers.Irene continued the work by developing X?ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgium. Her services were recognised in the form of a Military' Medal by the French government.

    In 1918, Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute. In December 1924, Frederic Joliot joined the Institute, and Irene taught him the techniques required for his work. They soon fell in love and were married in 1926. Their daughter Helene was born in 1927 and their son Pierre five years later.

    Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity(辐射能). Irene Joliot?Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.

    1.Why was Irene Curie awarded a Military Medal?

    The Minions

    These yellow creatures become a big hit for their cuteness of loving bananas, nonsense words and silly movements. When you watched Despicable Me (2010), did you predict the Minions would later become the main attraction? From background characters and then main characters, their success proves good animated creations can take on a life of their own spin-offs(续集)

    The penguins

    The penguins were originally just sidekicks in Madagascar(2005). But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series, and in 2014 starred in the film Penguins of Madagascar. The penguins’ wit, sarcasm and crafty composure not only adds attraction to the kid-friendly franchise, but also serves adult audiences well. So it's not surprising that they got their own movie.

    Scrat

    A small and furry squirrel with a long tail from animated movie Ice Age(2002), Scrat has won people’s hearts with its persistence in acorns. It is a big part of its(Ice Age’s) enduring appeal. He demands a lot of nuts, but he is a superstar, and he does his own stunts. Scrat now has his own animated shorts, extended scenes and mini-movies.

    Puss in Boots

    Originally a fairy tale written by French author Charles Perraut, Puss in Boots features a cat that helps his low-born master gain wealth and power through trickery. The cat later appeared in the Shrek franchise. In 2011, he had his own movie fittingly titled Puss in Boots.

    1.According to the text, an adult is more likely to enjoy the character ______.

    A. the Minions B. the Penguins

    C. Scrat D. Puss in Boots

    2.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word ‘sidekicks’ in the second part?

    A. assistants B. leading players

    C. standers-by D. minor roles

    3.What do the four characters have in common?

    A. They have contributed most to the success of their original films.

    C Last year my summer holiday was spoiled by my bringing along a modern convenience that was too convenient for my own good: the iPad．Instead of looking at nature, I checked my e-mail．Instead of paddling a small boat, I followed my Twitter feed（推特简讯）．Instead of reading great novels, I stuck to reading four newspapers each morning．I was behaving as if I were still in the office．My body was on vacation, but my head wasn’t．

    So this year I made up my mind to try something different: withdrawal from the Internet．I knew it wouldn’t be easy, since I’m bad at self-control．But I was determined．I started by giving the iPad to my wife．

    The cellphone signal at our house was worse than in the past, making my attempts at cheating an experience in frustration （沮丧）．I was trapped, forced to go through with my plan．Largely breaking away from e-mail, Twitter and my favorite newspaper websites, I had few ways to connect to the world except for the radio—and how much radio can one listen to, really? I had to do what I had planned to do all along: read books．

    This experience has had a happy ending．With determination and the strong support of my wife, I won in my vacation struggle against the Internet, realizing finally that it was I, not the iPad, that was the problem．I knew I had won when we passed a Starbucks and my wife asked if I wanted to stop to use the Wi-Fi．“I don’t need it,” I said．

    However, as we return to post-vacation life, a harder test begins: Can I continue when I’m back at work?

    There are times when the need to know what’s being said right now is great．I have no intention of giving up my convenience completely．But I hope to resist the temptation to check my e-mail every five minutes, which leads to checking my Twitter feed and a website or two．

    I think a vacation is supposed to help you rest your brain to become more productive．Here I hope this one worked．

    1.What do we know about the author’s last summer vacation?

    B．His iPad ruined his plan of finishing a great novel．

    C．He hated himself for acting as if he were working on vacation．

    B．He handed his iPad to his wife．

    C．He refused to cheat in his house．

    D．He listened to the radio most of the time．

    A．keep control of when and how to use the Internet

    B．continue to road more and more books

    C．stay away from the Internet for ever

    Are morning people born or made? In my case it was definitely made. In my early 20s, I hardly went to bed before midnight, and I would always get up late the next morning.

    But after a while I couldn’t ignore the high relationship between success and rising early. On those rare occasions where I did get up early, I noticed that my productivity (效率) was always higher. So I set out to become a habitual early riser. But whenever my alarm went off, my first thought was always to stop that noise and go back to sleep. Eventually some sleep research showed that my strategy was wrong.

    The most common wrong strategy is this: supposing you’re going to get up earlier, you’d better go to bed earlier. It sounds very reasonable, but will usually fail.

    There are two main schools (流派) of thought on sleep patterns. One is that you should go to bed and get up at the same time every day. The second school says you should go to bed when you’re tired and get up when you naturally wake up. However, I have found both are wrong if you care about productivity. If you sleep at fixed hours, you’ll sometimes go to bed when you aren’t sleepy enough. You’re wasting time lying in bed awake.

    My solution is to combine both methods. I go to bed when I’m sleepy and get up with an alarm clock at a fixed time. So I always get up at the same time (in my case 5 a.m.), but I go to bed at different times every night.

    However, going to bed only when I’m sleepy, and getting up at a fixed time every morning are my ways. If you want to become an early riser, you can try your own.

    1. According to the passage, the underlined phrase refers to ________.

    A. people who stay up until the next morning

    B. people who get up early in the morning

    C. people who feel sleepy in the morning

    D. people whose productivity is the lowest in the morning

    2. Why did the author want to become a habitual early riser?

    A. Because he / she found that the productivity was higher.

    B. Because he / she wanted to do morning exercise.

    C. Because he / she wanted to test which school is better.

    D. Because he / she wanted to have more sleep time.

    3.The author experienced all the following EXCEPT ________.

    A. going to bed after midnight

    B. asking scholars for advice on sleeping habits

    C. getting up early occasionally

    D. pressing off the alarm to go on sleeping

    4. What’s the author’s sleep pattern?

    A. Going to bed early and getting up early.

    B. Going to bed late and getting up late.

    C. Going to bed when sleepy and getting up at a fixed early time.

    D. Going to bed early and getting up late.

    5. The passage is mainly about ________.

    A. main schools of thought on sleep patterns

    B. how to have a good sleep

    C. wrong strategies for getting up early

    D. how to become an early riser
