根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

One of the greatest biologists the world has ever seen was Charles Darwin. Darwin was born to a middle-class family in Shrewsbury, England, in February, 1809. His father was the leading doctor of the town.

1. He loved to walk through the woods looking at plants and birds. At the proper age, he was admitted into Shrewsbury School. There he studied Latin, classical literature, and ancient history. Young Charles thought that these subjects were dull and useless. He would have preferred scientific studies. 2.

In 1825, at the age of sixteen, Darwin was sent to Scotland to study medicine. He studied there for two years and continued to do poorly. He once wrote to his sister that his medical courses were completely stupid. By then, Darwin’s father knew that his son would never become a doctor.

Darwin’s father then sent him to Cambridge to become a clergyman (牧师). During his Cambridge years, Darwin loved to collect beetles(甲虫), but to him it was only a hobby. He didn’t take it seriously. 3. That was Professor John Henslow, the head of the Botany Department.

Somehow, Darwin managed to graduate from Cambridge in 1831. Upon graduation, Professor Henslow arranged for him to go with Captain Fitzroy on a survey trip around the world. During the voyage, Darwin collected rocks, bones, and insects. He took many notes on all that he observed. 4.

The widely believed theory in those days was that God created each creature separately and individually. In 1859, Darwin published his famous book, The Origin of Species. 5. The theory was instantly and very strongly attacked. Darwin was accused of destroying religion and insulting (侮辱) the human race. Today, however, Darwin’s theory is considered to be one of the major discoveries of modern science.

A. As a result, he did poorly.

B. One person at Cambridge, however, did.

C. As a boy, Darwin showed a great interest in living things.

D. In it, he explained his theory of evolution by natural selection.

E. Shrewsbury was a busy market town surrounded by rich farmlands.

F. The thoughts that led to his theory of evolution were beginning to form.

G. By the time Darwin died in 1882, he was recognized as one of England's greatest scientists.

In eighth grade, I decided to try out for my school musical. I only made it through the first verse(节) before the drama teacher stopped me. It goes without saying that my Christmas song didn’t get me any role.

Am I embarrassed? NO. Not just because it was ten years ago, but also because it’s such a great story to share. Why? I think the main reason is that admitting mistakes makes you easier to relate to. Interestingly enough, science confirms this theory.

Researchers have conducted many studies and have concluded that when someone makes a mistake or acts in a clumsy way, they are found to be more likeable. In other words, if you’re able to do well and then you mess up, it shows your human side. This allows others to connect and relate to you, which in turn makes them like you more.

Growing up, I was type of student who had to get straight A’s and the type of athlete who always had to perform at the top of the game. The problem was that my standards were so ridiculously high that I was never happy. It was only when I learned to let go and forgive myself for my mistakes that I truly felt relaxed.

When one of your close friends or family members makes a mistake, are you quick to forgive and forget? Sadly, many of us often express more sympathy for others than ourselves. With each mistake coming a lesson, you will be better equipped to handle life’s challenges going forward.

More importantly, if you are always worried about looking silly, you will never be able to get improved. Even if you make a fool of yourself, it isn’t the end of the world. Think about it: What’s the worst that can happen? In many cases, the reward often outweighs the risk.

1.By writing the passage, the author wants to tell us ________.

A. it is time to forgive others

B. everyone may make mistakes

C. it’s okay to make mistakes

D. what can be done to forgive our mistakes

2.What does the underlined part “this theory” probably refer to?

A. A mistake makes you more likeable.

B. An embarrassed person tends to act clumsily.

C. People mess up in life at times.

D. It’s good to share a great story with others

3.According to the passage, we know the author ________.

A. is pleased with her hard work

B. was once a person who wants things to be perfect

C. was happy with her high standard

D. never forgives herself for the mistakes she made

4.What message is delivered in the last two paragraphs?

A. Making a fool of yourself.

B. Viewing mistakes as learning opportunities.

C. Admitting mistakes is risky.

D. People tend to feel sorry for themselves.

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

—Albert Einstein

If you have a kid with special needs in the school system, chances are you have come across that saying hanging on a classroom wall. My five-year-old daughter Syona has cerebral palsy (a medical condition affecting someone’s control over their movement ) and it means, combined with her communication challenges and sight problems, that standard assessments (and by “standard”, I mean the ones used to assess kids with special needs ) aren’t always an accurate measure of her abilities.

By now you have probably heard about Chris Ulmer, the 26-year-old teacher in Jacksonville, Florida, who starts his special education class by calling up each student individually to give them much admiration and a high-five (a gesture of greeting or congratulation). I couldn’t help but be reminded of Syona’s teacher and how she supports each kid in a very similar way. Ulmer recently shared a video of his teaching experience. “I have seen their confidence and self-worth increase rapidly, ” he said. All I could think was: How lucky these students are to have such inspirational teachers.

Syona’s teacher has an attitude that can best be summarized in one word: awesome. Her teacher doesn’t focus on what can’t be done—she focuses on what can be done. Over the past several months, my husband Dilip and I have seen Syona’s confidence increase tenfold. She uses words she wouldn’t have thought of using before. She recently told me about her classmate’s trip to Ecuador and was very proud when I understood her on the first try.

I actually wonder what the influence would be if we did something similar to what Ulmer does with his students in our home. We’ve recently started our day by reminding each other of the good qualities we all possess. If we are reminded of our strengths on a regular basis, we will become increasingly confident about progress and success.

Ulmer’s reach as a teacher goes far beyond the walls of his classroom. In fact, he teaches all of us to take a moment and truly appreciate the strengths of an important person in our lives.

1.What does the author think of Einstein’s quote?

A. Funny.B. True.C. Strange.D. Confusing.

2.What can we learn about Chris Ulmer?

A. He praises his students one by one.

B. He is Syona’s favorite teacher.

C. He use videos to teach his students.

D. He asks his students to help each other.

3.Syona felt very pleased because ________.

A. she has developed a cool attitude

B. her progress was appreciated by her parents

C. her mother knew what she expressed

D. she had been to Ecuador with her classmate

4.What change has taken place in the author’s family?

A. They invite Ulmer’s students to their home.

B. They visit Umer’s classroom regularly.

C. They feel grateful to people in their lives

D. They give each other praise every day.
