Many years ago my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terminal illness . He was unable to work at 36 job . He would be fine for quite a while , but would then fall suddenly 37 and have to be admitted to the hospital .
He wanted to do something to keep himself 38 , so he decided to volunteer at the local children 39 . My dad loved kids . He would talk to them and play with them .Sometimes , he would 40 one of his kids . In certain instances , he would give 41 to the sad parents of these children .
One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a 42 disease that paralyzed (使…瘫痪) her from the neck down . I don’t know the 43 of the disease , but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl . My dad decided to try to help her . He started 44 her in her room , bringing paints , brushes and paper . He stood the paper up 45 a backing , put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint . He didn’t use his hands at all . Only his 46 would move . He would visit her 47 he could and paint for her . All the while he would tell her , “see , you can do 48 you set your mind to .”
49 , she began to paint using her mouth , and she and my dad became friends . Soon after , the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also 50 the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Sometime later after my dad had recovered and 51 t o work , he was at the volunteer counter one day and 52 the front door open . In came the little girl who had been paralyzed , but this time she was 53 . She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tight . She gave my dad a picture she had done using her 54 . At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me w alk .” Sometimes love is more 55 than doctors , and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital .

举一反三
Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. “The burnt child fears the fire” is one example. Another is the rise of despots(独裁者) like Hitler. Both these examples also point out the fact that attitudes come from experiences. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and cumulative(累积的). The Nazis got certain ideas largely by the speeches they heard and the books they read.
The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a key position to influence(影响) attitudes. This is true partly because children obtain attitudes from those adults who they respect.
Another reason is that pupils are often curious about a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who has previously got little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of dealing with such a unit will greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.
However, when children go to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to change their feelings by praising or scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain good experiences.
For example, first-grade pupils afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after a classroom  chat with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussio n, research outside reading and all-day trips.
 Finally a teacher must not constantly show her own attitudes because her influence can be no good if she has personal prejudices(偏见). This is especially true in respect to controversial(引起争议的) questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decision as a result of objective analysis(分析) of all the facts.
小题1:. The passage mainly tells us _____.| A．attitudes affect our actions | B．teachers play an important role in develop ing children’s attitudes | | C．attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiences | | D．teachers gradually affect pupils’ attitudes by their attitudes |
小题2:. In the first paragraph the writer gives us two examples to _____.| A．show that attitudes come from experiences | B．compare with each other | | C．show all experiences are direct and impressive | D．tell experiences from attitudes |
小题3:.When children in school have unpleasant attitudes, teachers should _____.| A．change their feelings by scolding them | B．think highly of their good attitudes | | C．help them by giving them good experiences | D．take no notice of their feelings |
小题4:.The passage specially states in the last paragraph that _____.| A．direct experiences are more valuable than indirect ones | | B．what a child learns in school has already been introduced at home | | C．teachers can sometimes have a bad influence on children | | D．teachers should always cover up their own attitudes |

A Battery’s Worst Nightmare(噩梦)
Portable electronics that can be carried about easily are only as good as their batteries and, let’s face it, batteries aren’t very good, especially when compared with, say, petrol, which packs 100 times a battery’s energy into an equal space. That’s why a large group of mechanical engineers (centered at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, but with partners at other universities and companies) are hard at work in an effort to replace batteries with a tiny engine that runs on fuel. Imagine a battery-free life!When the fuel runs out in your laptop or mobile phone, you just fill up and go.
The engine, about the size of a ten-cent coin, starts with a combustion chamber (燃烧室) that burns hydrogen (氢). Its tiny parts are etched onto silicon wafers (硅片) in the same manner that computer parts are imprinted onto integrated circuits (集成电路). The first engine is made up of five wafers. And since these wafers could be produced in much the same way as computer chips, they could probably be produced quite cheaply.
But the devil in all this nice detail is efficiency(效率). Tiny engine parts don’t always behave like their scaled-up parts of the first engine. Something between the parts can slow down th e work, according to Columbia University professor Luc Frechette, one of the engine’s designers. Extreme heat from the combustion chamber is also a problem, often leaking to other parts of the engine.
The scientists’ goal is to create an engine that will operate 10 times better than batteries do. Frechette says that a complete system, with all parts in place and working, will be set up in the next couple of years, but commercial models aren’t available until at least the end of the next ten years.

The disaster at the Chernobyl(former USSR前苏联) power station happened quickly and without warning. It was in the early hours of April 26, 1986 when the cooling system of the reactor(反应堆) failed. Minutes later, a violent (猛烈地) explosion blew the top off the reactor and blasted(爆炸生成) a huge cloud of radioactive gas high into atmosphere. Two people were killed imm ediately. Hundreds received powerful radiation overdose (过量). And more than 25,000 had to b e taken away from their homes.
Days later, the radioactive cloud had spread as far as Scotland. Its radiation was weak, but all over Europe radioactive rain was falling. In some areas people were advised not to eat fresh vegetables, or drink fresh milk, and the sale of meat was forbidden.
The accident at Chernobyl was the world’s worst nuclear accident. In Britain, it convinced (使……相信) many people that all nuclear power stations should be shut down for good. But the Central Electricity Generating Board didn’t agree. They claimed that ·similar disasters could not happen in Britain because of safer designs, fewer deaths are caused using nuclear fuel (燃料) than by mining for coal or drilling for oil and gas. Nuclear accidents are unusually fewer compared with other types of accidents-such as air crashes, fires or dam break-down more nuclear power stations are necessary because the world’s supplies of oil, coal and natural gas are running out.
In 1957 in Cumbria (Britain) a nuclear reactor overheated and caught fire. No one was killed but fourteen workers received radiation overdose. Small amounts of gas and dust were let out over the local countryside.
An official report said the accident was nearly a full-scale disaster. The Nuclear Authority wanted the report published but the Prime Minister at the time refused. He thought that it would make people less confident in Britain’s nuclear industry. Thirty years later, the cabinet(内阁) records of 1957 were published. Only then did the public discover what had really happened in Cumbria.
小题1:. One result of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster was that ______.| A．25,000 people were killed | | B．fresh foods were polluted | | C．people in Scotland were taken away from their homes | | D．hundreds of houses in Chernobyl were destroyed |
小题2:.According to the passage, nuclear accidents______.| A．are most unlikely to cause death | B．are always kept secret from the public | | C．can only happen in underdeveloped countries | D．may happen in any country that has nuclear power station. |
小题3:. After the nuclear accident at Chernobyl many people in Britain _______.| A．still believed it could not happen in their country. | | B．were not convinced that nuclear power stations could be safe | | C．accepted that there would be fewer deaths than in drilling for oil | | D．supported nuclear power stations because world fuel supplies were low |
小题4:.. The British Government refused to publish the report on the Cumbria accident because _______.| A．Britain’s supplies of oil, coal and gas were running out | | B．it takes thirty years for the effects of radiation to appear | | C．fewer people died in that accident than in other types of accidents | D．it was conce rned that the British people would doubt their country’s nuclear expertise (核技术) |
