阅读理解。     People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest of his age. There are only a few men in all of
his history who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric
light. But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius(天才)."There
is no such thing as genius," Edison said. He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work.
     But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered
about the secrets of nature. He tried to understand them, and then he tried to learn what he could
usefully do with them.
     Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of thinking,
especially if they don"t think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment
and pleasure.
     Edison could not understand why someone could not be interested in life. As he loved to think,
he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what idea he had
about life. "Work", he answered, "discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men
happier," He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.1. According to Thomas Edison, what"s genius?

任务型阅读.     The outstanding woman physician (内科医生), Jerry Nielsen, spent a year at the Amundsen-Scott
South Pole Station as the only doctor in 1998 when she was 47.
     In early March 1999, she discovered that there was something wrong with her right breast (乳房).
She was sure it was cancer (癌症), but she wasn"t able to go to a doctor for help. She couldn"t leave the
station for the next seven months until the snow turned back into water. Rather than wait for the  death,
Dr. Nielsen decided to fight against the cancer. But without the proper medical help, she wouldn"t live for
long. Soon a USA Air Force jet came to provide her with some help. She started her own treatments
(治疗) after getting instructions from American doctors. She finally returned home that October. Since
then, she had become helpful to cancer charities.
    Sadly, Dr. Nielsen"s cancer got worse and worse. She passed away on June 23, 2009. She once
wrote to her parents, "I understand what life really is: It is not when or how you  die  but how you  truly
were ever alive."
