Passage 1 p4*L}Q
Every year scientists open more doors that lead to the secrets of w jD<"p;P
new beneficent drugs. F"UI=7:o
There is bacitracin, which was discovered by two scientists at n\3
#69VY
Columbia University''s College of Physicians and Surgeons. These two N9-7YQ`D
people, Dr. Frank Meleney and Miss Balbina Johnson, knowing that the W\NC3]
human body had some kind of action in itself with which it fights 1^^8,.'
infections, began to search for the chemical that does this. In the &9fQW?Czs
hospital they examined badly infected wounds of people who had been %9a3$OGZX
hurt in accidents and made tests of the blood and the infected tissue. kDMvTVd
Finally, in the wound of a girl who had broken a leg bone, they b5LToy:
found the useful germs which seemed to be fighting the poisonous oJ\g0|\qwe
infection. They took some of these into the laboratory and from them Uq$/Q7
developed cultures; that is, larger masses of the germs with which to 6]Is"3ca
experiment. At last, after long and painstaking work, they were able FV/t
to draw from these germs a substance which is a germ destroyer. Dr. UZ2_FP
Meleney and Miss Johnson named it bacitracin-baci because the germ is, ,1#? 0q
in scientific language, a bacillus and tracin for Margaret Tracy, oDMPYkpTu
whose broken leg supplied the germ. BZ1wE1 t
Bacitracin at first was used only locally; later the drug was +t

developed into a solution that can be used to fight germ through the ypx~WXFK

Passage 2 W "'6M=*
Our echo sounder located the wreck of a French submarine that had FOXSs8"c]!
foundered during the war in seventy-five feet of water outside Dakar %qoS(iO`h
harbor. Dumas and I plunged down and found the vessel lying clean and faQmkO
upright, surrounded by such clouds of fish as we had rarely seen-small X2|~(*
silver fingerlings and dark metals. As Dumas swam into the shadow of R/hIXO
the port propeller, he came face to face with a gigantic fish, grouper a `R%\@1
variety, cousin to our familiar Mediterranean meroblast-fish. This =u<:'\_
specimen was ten times the size of our old acquaintances: he weighed
b7
QE
at least four hundred pounds. The wide, flat head and tiny eyes 1r;zA<<%R
advanced on Dumas; the ugly mouth yawned open, wide enough to admit Xqf,_I=V
him. Dumas knew that sedentary groupers have no teeth to speak of; it 4VJUu`[
seemed, however, that this individual might wish to swallow him RxP H[7oZ
unmasticated in the fashion of the mero type which swims agape(大张着嘴), k;l3^kTy
taking in whole octopuses(章鱼). vY4sU@+V
The cavernous mouth approached within two feet; Dumas sculled 3
z8i0
backward, watchfully keeping a modest interval as the monster I^y<W%Et
unhurriedly followed. The knowledge that the species was harmless gave Hb)FeGsd).
Dumas little comfort as he gazed into the fish''s mouth; he and the b[74$W{
grouper exchanged mutual stares of revulsion for a seemingly }t H$:Z
interminable period while Dumas was steadily pressed back. Then the cM#rus?)+
beast lost interest, turned aside, and returned to its dim home under WMB%?30
the lost submarine. Dumas surfaced in a reflective mood: "Imagine n>Ff tVZNJ
being swallowed by a lousy grouper." JVc{vSa!rm

Passage 3 [txOh!sxD
Reruns of situation comedies from the fifties and early sixties dramatize the kinds of problems that parents used to have with their children. The Cleavers scold Beaver for not washing his hands before dinner, the Andersons punish Bud for not doing his homework; the Nelsons dock little Ricky’s allowance because he keeps forgetting to clean his room. But times have changed dramatically. Being a parent today is much more difficult than it was a generation ago. 77RZ<u9/`
Today’s parents must try, first of all, to control all the new distractions that tempt children away from schoolwork. At home, a child may have a room furnished with a stereo and television. Not many young people can resist the urge to listen to an album or watch MTV-especially if it is time to do schoolwork. Outside the home, the distractions are even more alluring, children no longer “hang out” on a neighborhood corner within earshot of Mom or Dad’s reminder to come in and do homework.. Instead,, they congregate in vast shopping malls, buzzing video arcades and gleaming fast-food restaurants. Parents and school assignments have obvious difficulty competing with such enticing alternatives. T.bFB+'E|
Besides dealing with these distractions, parents also have to shield their children from a flood of ***ually explicit materials. Today, children can find *** magazines and pornographic paperbacks in the same corner store that once offered only comics and candy. Moreover, the movies young people attend often focus on highly ***ual situations. It is difficult to teach children traditional values when films show teachers seducing students and young people treating *** as a casual sport. An even more difficult matter for parents is the heavily ***ual content of programs on television. hRkCB
Most disturbing to parents today, however, is the increase in life-threatening dangers that face young people. When children are small, parents fear that their youngsters may be victims of violence. Every news program seems to carry a report about a mass murderer who preys on young girls, a deviant who has buried six boys in his cellar, or an organized child pornography ring that molests preschoolers. When children are older, parents begin to worry about their kids’ use of drugs. Peer pressure to experiment with drugs is often stronger than parents’ warnings. This pressure to experiment can be fatal if the drugs have been mixed with dangerous chemicals. eg[EFI.h
Within one generation, the world as a place to raise children has changed dramatically. One wonders how yesterday’s parents would have dealt with today’s problems. Could the Andersons have kept Bud away from MTV? Could the Nelsons have shielded little Ricky from ***ually explicit material? Could the Cleavers have protected Beaver from drugs? Parents must be aware of all these distractions and dangers, yet be willing to give their children the freedom they need to become responsible adults. It is not an easy task.. yD9enYM

Passage 4 %&L13:
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes ! ._q8q\
in contact with them. Their values--this can''t be repeated too often--are #:6-O
not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not .s{"NqRA
necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to p?gm=b#
time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small ~,lt^@a
worms, and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. 1l-5H7^w2?
But is it interfering with personal freedom to insist that they go to live a_N7X
with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? _H$Lu4b)N
Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger 6A"$9sj6
of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious 7}iv+rQ
risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old. g*$2qKm
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, >axeUd+@i
it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this P@N+jS`Vf
comparison right through to the provision for spare parts. But never forget +Tum K.
that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And SVU>q:ab
at what point should you cease to treat the old body? Is it morally right to 217G[YE-
try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the uw mN!!TS
forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed qvn.uujYS
to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as ny-:%A
they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them u=:f%l
a try, on the principle that while there''s life, there''s hope. 5dj" U

Passage 5 |Y
uf/G%/
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people''s. In the same way, when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught--to work, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle--compare those performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his own mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not. A|ZT;\
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can''t find a way to get the right answer. Let''s end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know. ` @ QZK0Ox
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one''s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, "But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get in the world? Don''t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it." T8+[R2_
41. What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things? PK+sGV
A)by copying what other people do @;egnXxF<
