| Grandpa Nybakken loved life-especially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, "Oh, forevermore!" But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and grandpa wasn't laughing. Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless. Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China! The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning. "It's not fair," he told God as he drove home in frustration."I've been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this." Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on vacation in the United States. He wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfather's small church in Chicago. Grandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation (教堂会众). "But most of all," he said, "I must thank you for the glasses you sent last year." "Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about this. Then your boxes arrived. When my staff removed the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on the top." After a long pause, he continued, "Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!" The people listened, happy for the amazing glasses. But the director surely must have confused their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas. But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way. |

| Honesty comes in many forms. First there's self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something I'm not. I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it. "Always be a first-class version(版本) of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else." Then there's honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If you've ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you can't do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didn't do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. I'd write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasn't thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldn't do that anymore, because I wasn't really helping them. They weren't learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasn't helping me. It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength. |
| 1. The underlined part "appear through smoke and mirrors" in the first paragraph means "_____". |
| A. to be honest B. to be unreal C. to become clear D. to come from an imagined world |
| 2. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garland's words? |
| A. Be your true self rather than follow others. B. Don't copy others or you can't be the first class. C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. D. Don't learn from others unless they're excellent. |
| 3. What does the author expect to show by Jeff's story? |
| A. Honesty can be of great help. B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody. D. Be honest in our actions and feel right. |
| 4. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express _____. |
| A. one must be brave to be honest B. it's difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in one's actions can help him in the future |

| As bananas ripen, the green skin turns yellow gradually. Chemical changes occur in the flesh of the fruit as well: starch (淀粉) changes to sugar; pectin (果胶) breaks down, losing its stiffness; and the flesh softens. Is ripening fruit a self-contained system, or is the rate of these changes affected by the environment? We designed the experiment below to see if different atmospheres, produced by different packaging, affected the rate of ripening. You will vary the atmosphere surrounding unripe bananas and observe the effect on the ripening process.
oxygen and gives off CO2. Oxygen is extremely important and necessary for the chemical reactions involved in ripening. In addition, ripening fruit gives off another gas, called ethylene (乙烯). Not only is ethylene a product of ripening fruit, it also promotes the further ripening of the fruit. Paper bags tend to keep the ethylene in, but they allow oxygen and ethylene to pass through slowly. Plastic bags do not allow the free flow of oxygen or ethylene. In this experiment, the green banana in paper bag with the ripe banana should ripen most quickly. The green bananas in the paper bag should ripen faster than the bananas in the plastic bag. The banana left exposed to air has an unlimited supply of oxygen, so it will turn brown most quickly. You will notice that the side of this banana that rests on the counter will ripen more quickly than the other sides, because it has the closest contact (接触) with its own ethylene. The banana that is tightly wrapped in plastic has no oxygen supply and should ripen most slowly. Now can you see why bananas are sealed in plastic in many supermarkets? | ||
| 1. What makes the green banana in Bag 2 ripen more quickly than the ones in Bag 1? | ||
| A. Ethylene from the very ripe banana. B. The free flow of oxygen or ethylene. C. CO2 from the very ripe banana. D. The limitation of oxygen supply. | ||
| 2. How can we slow down the ripening of bananas exposed to the air? | ||
| A. To rest them on the counter. B. To keep them in the basket. C. To put them on the ground. D. To hang them up from the ceiling. | ||
| 3. It can be concluded from the passage that _____. | ||
| A the ripening banana is a self-contained system B. the rate of ripening bananas is affected by the environment C. wrapped bananas experience no chemical changes to ripen D. ripening bananas give off oxygen, CO2 and ethylene | ||
| 4. Why are bananas sealed in plastic in many supermarkets? | ||
| A. To make them ripen more quickly. B. To make them ripen more slowly. C. To make banana flesh soften. D. To turn green bananas yellow. |

| Surgeons in Spain have successfully carried out the world's first organ transplant (移植) using new stem cell technology. Some people are calling it the greatest medical breakthrough so far this century. But what are stem cells? As we know, most cells in our bodies are designed____ -for example, a liver cell develops to work in the liver and cannot become a heart cell. But stem cells are different. They are very young and in the laboratory scientists can grow them into different types of cells. Claudia Castillo needed a new windpipe (气管) after getting a serious disease. Scientists from the University of Bristol took a donor windpipe, from someone who had recently died. They used strong chemicals to remove the donor's cells, leaving a tissue scaffold (组 织支架). This was refilled with cells from Ms Castillo's windpipe and stem cells from her bone. After four days the cells had grown sufficiently for the windpipe to be transplanted into Ms Castillo. Currently, transplant patients have to take drugs for the rest of their lives to prevent their bodies rejecting the new organs. These drugs can have bad side-effects, and do not always prevent rejec tion. But by using Ms Castillo's own cells, doctors were able to trick her body into thinking the new windpipe was her own organ. Five months on, Claudia Castillo is in perfect health. This ground-breaking procedure could be used in other trans- plant operations in the future. Scientists also believe stem cells might be used to treat Parkinson's disease, heart disease, stroke, ar thritis, burns and so on. However, stem cell research is extremely controversial. The most effective stem cells do not come from adults but from embryos (胚胎) created in laboratories which are just a few days old. Many people have religious or ethical objections to growing embryos, even if they can be used to cure diseases. |
