24、A school bus is used to take children to and from school.

In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.

There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so children are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.

Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them to go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!

School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to go to school.

26、   Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell(干细胞) researcher Shinya Yamanaka.

Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance(坚持不懈) can lead.

At the age of 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 criticism（批评）, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier 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(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone(克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996, the first cloned mammal(哺乳动物) in the world.

In 2006, Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample(样本) 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 (抓住) the chance.”

【1】Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

A.Sir John Gurdon. B.Shinya Yamanaka.

C.Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D.Gurdon's science teacher.

【2】What does the underlined word “ridiculous” mean in Chinese?

A.无知的 B.无畏的 C.荒废的 D.荒谬的

【3】According to the passage, which statement is true?

A.As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful.

B.Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology.

C.It's impossible for the doctors to repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

D.In spite of his teacher's criticism, Gurdon kept working hard.

【4】What's the main idea of the passage?

A.Ninety percent of the time things don't work. B.Luck favors the prepared mind.

C.Life is full of surprises. D.How cells actually work.

27、One day Peng Xianzhe learned he would go to the Mashan School in Guizhou. The 16-year-old boy tried to imagine how serious the drought was for the students at that school. However, he realized it was more serious than he had imagined when he saw the sign “DON’T wash clothes with water，or you will be punished（惩罚）. ”

Because of drought, the school has been short of water for a long time. Each student has only one bottle of water every day for washing and drinking. The drought has made the poor students much poorer.

Peng is a student from Beijing Chaoyang Foreign Language School. He took part in the school’s Rain & Bow Project from April 2 to 10.

The project idea came from Peng’s principal（负责人）. One day, she heard a sad story about Li Guoxian, a poor girl in the Mashan School，who stopped going to school because of drought. The principal started this project to help the school. In one day, 3，000 students made over 10，000 donations of water，books and clothes.

Peng and other four students went to the Mashan School and gave the donations with five teachers. They visited poor families, made surveys and had classes at the school.

Ding Zhentao，16，was worried about the school’s poor learning environment. “The blackboards and playground are too shabby to use，”Ding said. “Besides, there really aren’t enough teachers. A teacher has to teach both history and English, and even the cook is a class teacher. ”

Although life isn’t easy, students at the school have a positive attitude(积极的态度）towards life and they are quite willing to learn. That’s what moved 16-year-old Chen Shi most.

“They sang their songs together as usual before class every afternoon. After class, the students asked us to tell them things about Beijing and our studies,” Chen said. “You can see the passion(热情）in them. I believe it will make a difference. Their futures will be bright. ”

28、“How are you？” is a usual question.It's a friendly way that people in America greet each other，71.【1】 “How are you？” is also a very unusual question.It's a question that often doesn't have an answer.The person who asks “How are you？” 72.【2】to hear the answer “Fine”，even if the person's friend isn't fine.The reason is that “How are you？” isn't really a question and “Fine” isn't really an answer.They are just other 73.【3】t of saying “Hello” or “Hi”．

Sometimes，people also don't say exactly what they 74【4】．For example，when someone asks “Do you agree？” the other person might think，“No，I disagree.I think you're wrong...”But it is 75.【5】 to disagree so strongly，so the 76.【6】 answer may be “I'm not sure.” It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.

People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish 77.【7】 with other people.Many people talking on the phone finish the 78.【8】 by saying “I've to go now.” Often，the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse like “Someone's at the door.” The excuses might be real，or it might not be 79.【9】．Perhaps the person just doesn't want to keeping on talking.80.【10】，the polite excuse won't hurt the other person.All in all，it's an important way that people try to be nice to each other，and it's a part of the game of language.

29、People around the world eat eggs. You can cook them in many different ways! My favourite way to eat eggs is sunny side up. You heat a pan (锅), add some oil and ________ an egg into it. One side of the egg cooks until the white part becomes solid (凝固), and the yellow part of the egg ________ yellow. It looks like a happy sun on a plate. That is why we call it “sunny side up”.

The adjective “sunny” is also used to describe people. A very happy person can be described as sunny. We often match “sunny” with “________ ”. It describes the ways that people behave. Let’s look at an example. My classmate Peter is ________ for being sunny. Anyone who meets him likes him. He is always smiling and energetic. Peter is always in a good ________.

We can also call a very happy person “a light of sunshine”. The light cuts ________ clouds and darkness to make the day bright. People who are lights of sunshine do the same, which means that they can ________ your spirits or make you feel happy. They bring joy into the lives of others.

But sometimes we use it in a different way. I may call someone “a light of sunshine” if he acting unhappily or even ________. In fact, there is nothing wrong with my friend when he feels like this, but nothing seems to make him happy. I can say to him, “Well, aren’t you a ray of sunshine today?”

Of course, people cannot always keep happy during their ________, because good things and bad things each have a 50 percent chance to happen. People may be influenced by different kinds of things, ________ some of them are able to think about the good things in life more than the bad. In other words, they choose to look on the sunny side of life.
