    Human cloning technology could be used to reserve heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.
    With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successful. Couples go through physical and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.
    We should be able to clone the bone marrow（骨髓） for children and adults suffering from leukemia（白血病）. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology. We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.
    Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases. The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented （前所未有的）advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefit begin

    1. 1.

      What does the underlined word “infertile” (paragraph 2) most probably mean?

      1. A.
        with physical and emotional problems
      2. B.
        short of time and money
      3. C.
        unable to give birth to children
      4. D.
        separated from each other for a long time
    2. 2.

      According to the text, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology is in ______

      1. A.
        the treatment of mental diseases
      2. B.
        the reserve of heart diseases
      3. C.
        the cure of gene-related diseases
      4. D.
        the bearing of babies
    3. 3.

      According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that__________

      1. A.
        it has brought about benefits so far
      2. B.
        it may be out of human control
      3. C.
        people still know little about it
      4. D.
        people are afraid of such technology

    The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills that they need to be confident, happy and clever.
    Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing other housework.
    Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and lots of self-confidence.
    Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important

    1. 1.

      Generally speaking, children’s skills __________

      1. A.

      3. C.
        may be different from child to child

    What is your body language saying to your children? What is their body language telling you? I had the honor of hearing Jan Hargrave speak the other day. She is one of four body language experts in the US. Jan Hargrave says we lie with the right side of our brains, so it is our left hand that gives us away. A person touching his nose, pulling at his ear or rubbing his eye with his left hand might be lying to you. Also, a person who, in any way, crosses any fingers might just be lying. That, she says, is a holdover(遗留物) from childhood, when we crossed our fingers to signal that we didn’t mean what we were saying. When children squint(眨) their eyes, move their body away from you, or can’t seem to make good eye contact, you may need to ask for a little more clarification.
    But just as important, children learn early how to read our body language when they are conversing(交谈) with us. Here are some acceptance signals to let them know you are interested when they are talking to you. Lean(倾斜) towards them. Make good eye contact and smile. Open your arms. Let your hands relax with the palms(手掌) showing: an open, upward palm always show acceptance. If your legs are crossed, make sure you are not crossing them away from your child. These are important because they signal to your child that you are focused on them and are accepting and welcoming them into your world.
    By paying attention, we can open those lines of important communication with our children and we can see the truth more clearly. I think it would be a mistake to use these tools to lie, but we need to be aware of the signals we are giving so we can show people that they really do matter to us

    1. 1.

      According to Jan Hargrave, we can tell whether a person is lying by _______

      1. A.
        observing his/her left hand’s movements
      2. B.
        looking at how he/ she crosses his/ her fingers
      3. C.
        observing whether he/ she uses body language
      4. D.
        making good eye contact with him/ her
    2. 2.

      We can learn from the passage that body language _______

      1. A.
        is hard to master for children
      2. B.
        can be understood in different ways
      3. C.
        may help improve communication
      4. D.
        is more likely to hide the truth
    3. 3.

      Which of the following does NOT show acceptance to people?

      1. A.
        Smile while making eye contact
      2. B.
        Open your arms to them
      3. C.
        Relax your hands with the palms showing
      4. D.
        Cross your leg away from them
    4. 4.

      In the last paragraph, the author seems to suggest that parents_______

      1. A.
        spend more time with their children
      2. B.
        learn to read and use body language

        pay attention to family communication

    Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases. Martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. In fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
    One day, while talking with her friend Maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company. Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
    During the interview, Mr. Petri said, “You’re just the kind of person we need here. You’re being wasted in your other job. Give me a call in a day or two. I’m sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” Martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building.
    That afternoon, Ruth Kenny, her supervisor, saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “Oh, so you finally decided to come back to work today?”
    This was the last straw. She could not take another insult. Besides, Mr. Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.
    “Look,” she said angrily, “if you don’t like the way I work, I don’t need to stay here. I’ll go where I’m appreciated! Good-bye!” She took up her things and stormed out of the office.
    That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria, “What do you think?”
    “Well,” said Maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”
    “Well, not exactly, but…”
    Maria continued, “Will you be able to get a recommendation from Mrs. Kenny if you need one?”
    “A recommendation?…from Mrs. Kenny?” hesitated Martha, in a worried tone.
    “Martha, I hope you didn’t burn your bridges.” Maria said. “I think I would have handled it differently.”

    1. 1.

      Martha is unhappy in her job because _____

      1. A.

      2. B.
        the work is not significant
      3. C.
        her supervisor is younger than she
      4. D.
        there is too much work with little payment
    2. 2.

      Which of the following statement is NOT true?

      1. A.
        At her supervisor’s criticism, Martha lost her temper
      2. B.
        Mr. Petri felt Martha was not valued in her present job
      3. C.
        Martha’s interview with the director was on her lunch hour
      4. D.
        Martha got the name of the director through her cousin
    3. 3.

      The phrase “the last straw” probably refers to _____

      1. A.
        the last opportunity
      2. B.
        the straw that saves Martha’s life
      3. C.
        the last reminder
      4. D.
        the final unpleasant thing
    4. 4.

      What does Maria think of Martha’s decision?

      1. A.
        Martha has handled the matter properly
      2. B.
        Martha shouldn’t have set the bridge on fire
      3. C.
        Martha should have found a new job before leaving
      4. D.
        Martha shouldn’t have lost her temper with her supervisor

    Sarah came running in saying, "Look what l found. " Over the top of the paper I was reading I saw a long object that made me jump. It was a piece of snakeskin that had been shed （脱皮)  by one of our garden snakes.
    'Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah.  Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (忧点) and excellence in the world.
    "Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
    "Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin.  It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn't think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did.  Like buying a new suit. "
    Of course, I'm sure this explanation won't suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off.  I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
    "Snakes don't peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained.  "lt happens as part of their growth. "
    "I see, Dad. " said Sarah.  She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
    I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩饰) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的);  or at best,  remember the things we discard（丢掉）to teach us how we can improve

    1. 1.

      When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________

      1. A.
        he was shocked and jumped
      2. B.
        he tried to understand her point of view
      3. C.
        he thought that telling the truth was a merit
      4. D.
        he decided to teach her something about the garden
    2. 2.

      How did Sarah feel about the author's explanation?

      1. A.
        Confused
      2. B.
        Boreci
      3. C.
        Satisfied
      4. D.
        Excited
    3. 3.

      Which of the following would the author agree with?

      1. A.
        By reflecting on ourselves, we can better ourselves
      2. B.
        It is necessary to force others to remove some things
      3. C.
        The community and culture force us to change
      4. D.
        It is natural to keep some old clothes
    4. 4.

      From the text, we can conclude that the author___________

      1. A.
        does not like nature much
      2. B.
        takes the chilcl's feelings lightly
      3. C.
        is both a logical and thoughtful person
      4. D.
        loves to see his daughter excited about animals
    5. 5.

      Which of the following could be the best title for the article?

      1. A.
        The things we should cast off
      2. B.
        A shed snakeskin in Sarah's eyes
      3. C.
        A natural part of our growth
      4. D.
        Renewal for snakes and us

    “Mom, I have cancer.” These four words catapulted my son and me on a journey that lasted two years. On that day I felt a wave of paralyzing fear.
    Scott was the oldest of my four children. He was 33 years old and a successful assistant principal at SamRayburn Hifht School in Pasadena, Texas. He and his wife Carolyn were busy raising four active children. Scott was 6’2’’, weighed 200 pounds and had never been sick a day in his life.
    A few month earlier a mole（痣）on his neck had changed color. “Dr.Warner called,” Scott said that spring morning. “It’s melanoma.（黑素瘤）” I tried to comfort him, naming all the people I knew who had survived skin cancer. Yet, I felt small tentacles of fear begin to wrap around my chest.
    Our next stop was MDAnderson, the famous cancer hospital in Houston. Scott had surgery at the end of May and was scheduled for radiation treatments over the summer recess. “There is an 80 percent chance it won’t reoccur,” the doctors said. At the end of summer, all his tests came back negative and Scott was back at school in the fall. However, in December, Scott discovered a lump on his neck. It was examined and the result came back “malignant.（恶性的）” We now realized that Scott fell into the 20 percent category. I could feel the tentacles tightening around my chest. He entered the hospital for an aggressive treatment, a combination of interferon and interleukin.
    After five months of treatment, he had radical surgery on his neck. The test results were encouraging, only three of the 33 lymph nodes（淋巴结） removed were malignant. We were very hopeful.
    For the next six months, Scott’s follow-up visits went well. Then in October, X-ray revealed a spot on his lung. The spot was removed during surgery and the doctors tried to be optimistic. It was a daily battle to control the fear and panic each setback brought.
    In January, he was diagnosed as having had a “disease explosion.” The cancer had spread to his lungs, spine and liver and he was given three to six months to live. There were times during this period when I felt like I was having a heart attack. The bands constricting my chest made breathing difficult.
    When you watch your child battle cancer, you experience a roller coaster of emotions. There are moments of hope and optimism but a bad test result or even an unusual pain can bring on dread and panic.
    Scott was readmitted to the hospital for one last try with chemotherapy. He died, quite suddenly, just six weeks after his last diagnosis. I was completely destroyed. I had counted on those last few months.
    The next morning I was busy notifying people and making funeral arrangements. I remember having this nagging feeling that something was physically wrong with me. It took a moment to realize that the crushing sensation in my chest was gone. The thing every parent fears the most had happened. My son was gone. Of course, the fear had been replaced by unbearable sorrow.
    After you lose a child, it is so difficult to go on. The most minimal tasks, combing your hair or taking a shower, becoming monumental. For months I just sat and stared into space. That spring, the trees began to bloom; flowers began to pop up in my garden. Friendswood was coming back to life but I was dead inside.
    During those last weeks, Scott and I often spoke about life and death. Fragments of those conversations kept playing over and over in my mind.
    “Don’t let this ruin your life, Mom.”
    “Make sure Dad re models his workshop.”
    “Please, take care of my family.”
    I remember wishing I could have just one more conversation with him. I knew what I would say, but what would Scott say? “I know how much you love me, Mom. So just sit on the couch and cry.” No, I knew him better than that. Scott loved life and knew how precious it is. I could almost hear his voice saying, “Get up Mom, Get on with your life. It’s too valuable to waste.”
    That was the day I began to move forward. I signed up for a cake decorating class. Soon I was making cakes for holidays and birthdays. My daughter-in-law told me about a writing class in Houston. I hadn’t written in years, but since I was retired I decided it be time to start again. The local college advertised a Life Story Writing class that I joined. There I met women who had also lost their children. The Poet Laureate of Texas was scheduled to speak at our local Barnes and Noble. I attended and joined our local poetry society. I never dreamed that writing essays and poems about Scott could be so therapeutic. Several of those poems have ever been published. In addition, each group brought more and more people into my life..
    I don’t believe you ever recover from the loss of a child. Scott is in my heart and mind every day. However, I do believe you can survive.
    Scott fought so bravery to live and he never gave up. He taught me that life is a gift that should be cherished, not wasted. It has taken years to become the person I am today. The journey has been a difficult, painful process but certainly worth the effort and I know that my son would be proud
