I recently heard a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. What set him so far apart from others?
He小题1:that, in his opinion, it all came from an小题2:from his mother that happened when he was about 2 years old. He had been trying to小题3:a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his 小题4:on the slippery(光滑的) bottle and it 小题5:, making its contents pouring all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of小题6:at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said: “Robert, what an(a)小题7:and wonderful mess you have made! I have小题8:seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to小题9:down and play in the milk for a few小题10:before we clean it up?”
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said: “You know, Robert,小题11:you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and restore everything to its proper小题12:. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel, or a mop. Which do you小题13:?” He chose the sponge and together they小题14:up the milk.
His mother then said: “You know, what happened just now is a小题15:experiment in how effectively to carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands. Let’s小题16:out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can小题17:a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy小题18:that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it.
This scientist then小题19:that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make小题20:.
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him?

We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my 55. ” Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.

Moody faces   59  in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.” I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my   60  to give back,” Moody says.” If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

An 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon.
Tom Erickson was credited with (因......而受赞扬)saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek (小河) Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting relatives from Anchor Point when he fell into Mill Creek.
The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger.
The creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident.
Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood’s Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park.
As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before.
“I wasn’t sure I could do it,” Erickson said. “I didn’t know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me.”
This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water.

A.Anchor PointB.Chillicothe, OhioC.Mill CreekD.Brentwood
小题2:Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?
A.Life-saving instruction helped a lot in the incident.
B.Jason’s parents saw him fall into the creek but couldn’t help.

A.The accident was none of the boy’s business.
B.The boy had no friends to play with him.

Car sharing is another way to drive green that’s gaining in popularity, especially in urban areas.People who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事)or drive on weekends benefit most from car sharing.Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的)and informal car sharing services.Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when they need one.The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation, and then go to the pickup spot.
Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road.Members don’t drive just because they are in a car.They plan trips, and if they don’t need a car, they don’t use one.Still, a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or if they want to go to the beach for the day.Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the headaches of ownership.They usually don’t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment.So if you really want to go green but aren’t ready to totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
小题1:The author intends to tell us that car sharing ________.
A.has become the most popular way to go to work
B.has become the best way to cut living costs
C.is becoming more and more popular in cities
D.is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的)areas
小题2:We can conclude from the passage that _________.
A.Zipear can’t help you if you are running urgent errands
B.Zipcar, different from other services, aims green driving with no profit
C.Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing service for a monthly payment
D.Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
小题3:The second paragraph mainly tells us _________.
A.why people will share a car
B.why car sharing benefits the environment
C.why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D.why a car is available to members
小题4:Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A.Car sharing has become a new trend (趋势).
B.Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C.Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D.Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.
