【题文】Robert is a thirty-five-year-old American. He becomes a      man in science. Once, he was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he could be so much more creative than other people. He said that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his       when he was about two years old.
That day, when he was trying to     a bottle of milk out of the fridge, but he dropped the milk bottle. The milk spilled all over the _     floor, which turned out to be a sea of milk. He was afraid.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of        him, she smiled. She said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have __     seen such a huge puddle of milk before. Well, since it has already been done, would you like to get down and play in the milk for a moment before we clean it up?” Robert did      his mother told him.
After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, you have to clean it up at last and put       to its right place. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop(抹布). Which do you prefer?” He       the sponge and together they cleaned up he milk.
His mother then said, “You’d better learn       to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands, OK? Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without     it.”
The little boy          that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip(瓶口) with both hands, he could make it. What a wonderful lesson!
It was at that moment that Robert knew he didn’t need to be _      to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just     to learn something new, and that is what scientific experiments are all about.      sometimes the experiment “doesn’t work”, we usually can learn something meaningful from it. Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would do the same as Robert’s mother does?

【题文】You may know the saying: An apple a day keeps the doctor away. A recent study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has discovered another saying: An apple a day keeps old age away.
The study involved fruit flies(g果蝇), as they share many genes(基因) with humans. Researchers gave one group of fruit flies normal food, and another group of fruit flies got the same food including apple.
The results showed that flies that ate apple lived an average of 55 days longer than the flies that didn’t eat apple. The study also found that apple-eating flies were more able to walk, climb and move about as they became old, the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reports.
The researchers believe that the antioxidants (抗氧化剂）found in apples are good for health.
In another experiment, researchers studied the diets of thousands of women. They found that those women who often ate apples were 20 percent less likely to have heart disease.
Scientists have recently discovered the apple’s genetic code(基因代码). This allows scientists to make new kinds of fruit that are healthier. Researchers are already using this information to grow apples with added antioxidants. Antioxidants help to keep eyes and joints (关节)healthy and protect against heart attacks and cancer.
Apples that help people lose weight may be in supermarkets in just four or five years. They are said to be “extra healthy” apples that can stop people from overeating.
【小题1】Fruit flies were used in the research because_______________ .

A．they love to eat apples

B．they share similar genes with humans

C．they are easy to catch

【小题2】By studying the diets of many women, researchers ___________ .

A．proved apples were good for people’s health.

B．found they are healthier than men

【小题3】From the story, we can infer(推测) that _________________.

A．women like to eat apples more often than men

B．people who eat apples are easier to have heart disease

C．scientists are studying a new type of apples

D．apples’ genetic code is similar to other fruits

【小题4】 You may find the passage in ____________ .

【题文】There are many American expressions about insects(昆虫) like bees, for example. Bees are known as very hard workers. They always appear to be busy, moving around their homes or hives. So you might say you were “as busy as a bee” if you spent your weekend cleaning your house .
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more, but we like it anyway. We think it was first used in the nineteen twenties. If something was the best of its kind, you might say it was “the bee’s knees”. Now, we admit(承认) that we do not know how this expression developed. In fact, we do not even know if bees have knees!.
Hornets(大黄蜂) are bee-like insects that sometimes attack people. If you are really angry, you might say you are“mad as a hornet”.And if you “stir up a hornet’s nest”, you create trouble or problems.
Butterflies are beautiful insects, but you would not want to “have butterflies in the stomach”. That means to be nervous about having to do something, like speaking in front of a crowd. And do you know any expressions about ants?
【小题1】When Mrs. King spends her weekend cleaning the house, we can say she is as busy as _________.

A．a bee	B．a hornet
C．a butterfly	D．an insect

【小题2】When you say to others “I am mad as a hornet”, what do you really mean?

A．I must stop working.	B．I am the best of all.

People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to live a happy life is to 【小题3】   , and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
The last secret to find happiness is to    【小题4】   . Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

A. be active B. help others C. we make our own happiness D. enjoy the simple pleasures in life
