Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out. Sir John
题型：不详难度：来源：
Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance can lead.
When he was 15 in 1948，Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon’s high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”.
In spite of his teacher’s criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.
“My own belief is that we will, in the end，understand everything about how cells actually work，”Gurdon said.
In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996，the first cloned mammal in the world.
In 2006，Gurdon’s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person’s skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient’s heart after a heart attack.
“Luck favors the prepared mind，”Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. “Ninety percent of the time things don’t work, but when they do, you have to seize the chance. ”

In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student to correctly recite (背诵) the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my , Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. she recited, she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just !”But she , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!”
“Because I want to be like you guys! To be .” Tina said.
Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers!
We get in all the time.”
“I know,” Tina said as a big spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.
Tina got only a few that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was
worth a lot more than a grade.

During the days, I often got the call. But I didn’t care much about it. Then one day she kept calling me, I didn’t answer. Finally I answered the phone and heard a weak voice, “Dad, please come back. I miss you so much! Dad, I’m in so much ! Mom said you were too busy to take care of me. But, dad, please me again, OK?” It was to refuse the innocent(天真的, 无邪的) ask. I made a kiss on the phone and heard the weak voice say, “Thank you…Dad, I am so…happy, so…happy….”

There was one passenger, I noticed, that had never smiled back. He usually coughed roughly through his mustache (胡子) as he got on the bus. And he never covered his mouth. But that wasn’t enough to stop the bus driver’s smile. He gave the man with the mustache and the rough cough his biggest smile.
The man with the mustache never seemed to see that smile. He would sit on the edge of his seat and complained about the way that the bus driver was driving. He only complained for a short time, but he spoke loudly enough so everybody could hear. It was enough to make me sick. But the driver never said a word. He just went on smiling at passengers as they got on the bus.
I wanted to get to know this bus driver better. One night I stayed on the bus to the end of the line. I asked the driver, “Why don’t you throw that man with the mustache out of the bus?” The bus driver looked at me and gave me one of his famous smiles. “I don’t care about that,” he said. “Let me tell you about my friend’s dog. The man next door to me has a dog. Every time the moon shines, the dog barks (狗叫) and barks all night.” “Well, what about the dog and the moon?” I asked. “Oh, the moon keeps on shining,” he said.
