19、dpa Nybakken loved lifeespecially when he could play a trick on somebody. At those times, his large Norwegian frame shook with laughter while he pretended innocent surprise, exclaiming, “Oh, forevermore!” But on a cold Saturday in downtown Chicago, Grandpa felt that God played a trick on him, and gr

20、a ndpa wasnt laughing.Grandpa worked as a carpenter. On this particular day, he was building some boxes for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage abroad. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morn

21、ing, so he drove back to the churchHis search proved fruitless.Suddenly, he realized what had happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses were heading for China!The Great Depression was at its height,

22、 and Grandpa had six children. He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning.“Its not fair,” he told God as he drove home in frustration. “Ive been very faithful in giving of my time and money to your work, and now this.”Several months later, the director of the orphanage was on va

23、cation in the United StatesHe wanted to visit all the churches that supported him, so he came to speak on Sunday night at my grandfathers small church in ChicagoGrandpa and his family sat in their usual seats among the small congregation（教堂會眾）.“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the gl

24、asses you sent last year.”“Even if I had the money, there was simply no way of replacing those glassesAlong with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day, so my co-workers and I were much in prayer about thisThen your boxes arrivedWhen my staff removed the covers, they found a p

25、air of glasses lying on the top.” After a long pause, he continued, “Folks, when I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been custom-made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”The people listened, happy for the amazing glassesBut the director surely must have confused

26、their church with another, they thought, there were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas.But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming do wn his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.41Which of the following is NOT tru

30、he most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. F rom there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit. But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public

31、education.At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission-turning teenagers into educated college graduates- much of the system is failing. The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of

32、 the students who enroll end up with a bachelors degree. So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the worlds largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line” tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPhers

33、on, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About

34、 half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. “I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said Mr. Bowen. In

35、fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students -even when they are better qualifiedoften go to colleges that excel（擅長）in producing drop-outs. “Its really a waste,” Mr. Bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.” As the a

36、uthors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen. What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer. 45.Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsib

37、le for the American financial crisis according to this passage?A. The government. B. Public education.C. The Detroit automakers. D. The Wall Street firms.46. What is a big problem with American higher education? A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college. B. Many colleges are experiencing

38、low rate of graduation. C. Many college students stay away from classes.D. I t is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government. 47. Why do some students under-match ? A. Because they have financial difficulty. B. Because they face ambition crisis. C. Because they lack confidence.

39、D. Because they cant get guidance.48. The passage is mainly about _. A. problems with secondary American education and possible solutions B. Americas financial crisis, its cause and influence C. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence D. relationship between American edu

In one hand, youre holding a conventionally grown Granny Smith appleIn your other hand, you have one thats been organically grownBoth apples are firm, shiny and greenBoth provide v

41、itamins and fiber, and both are free of fat, sodium and cholesterol.The conventionally grown apple costs less and is a proven family favoriteBut the organic apple has a label that says “USDA Organic”Does that mean its better? Safer? More nutritious? Several differences between organic and non-organi

42、c foods existBecome a better informed consumer for your next trip to the supermarket The word “organic” refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meatOrganic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water cons

43、ervation and reduce pollutionFarmers who grow organic produce and meat dont u se conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease.Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:Conventional farmersOrganic farmersApply chemical fertilizers to

45、animals organic food and allow them access to the outdoorsUse preventive measures - such as a balanced diet and clean housing to help minimize disease.* Organic or not? Check the label.The U.SDepartment of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic

51、ndardsDI dont ever want to talk about being a woman scientist again. There was a time in my life when people asked constantly for stories about what its like to work in a field dominated by men. I was never very good at telling those stories because truthfully I never found them interesting. What I

52、do find interesting is the origin of the universe, the shape of space-time and the nature of black holes.At 19, when I began studying astrophysics(天體物理學), it did not bother me in the least to be the only woman in the classroom. But while earning my Ph.D. at MIT and then as 3 post-doctor doing space

53、research, the issue started to bother me. My every achievementjobs, research papers, awards was viewed through the lens of gender (性別) politics. So were my failures. Sometimes, when I was pushed into an argument on left brain versus (相對于) right brain, or nature versus nurture (培育), I would instantly

54、 fight fiercely on my behalf and all womankind.Then one day a few years ago, out of my mouth came a sentence that would eventually become my reply to any and all provocations: I dont talk about that anymore. It took me 10 years to get back the confidence I had at 19 and to realize that I didnt want

55、to deal with gender issues. Why should curing sexism be yet another terrible burden on every female scientist? After all, I dont study sociology or political theory.Today I research and teach at Barnard, a womens college in New York City. Recently, someone asked me how many of the 45 students in my

56、class were women. You cannot imagine my satisfaction at being able to answer; 45. I know some of my students worry how they will manage their scientific research and a desire for children. And I dont dismiss those concerns. Still, I dont tell them war stories. Instead, I have given them this: the visual of their physics professo
