A British scientist whose schoolmasters told him he was too stupid to study the subject has been awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology for his pioneering work on cloning.
At the age of 15, Sir John Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at biology, and was in the bottom set in every other science subject.His master，Mr.Gaddum, was in fact a museum
curator(解说员) by profession who had been hired to teach the lowest-achieving pupils and was not in fact a particularly effective teacher.Though he had heard Gurdon was interested in doing science, he thought this was a completely ridiculous idea because there was no hope whatever of Gurdon doing science.
After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics and was offered a place to study at Christ Church, Oxford, but was allowed to switch courses and read zoology instead because of a mix
up in the admissions office.
It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.He did so by taking a cell from an adult frog’s intestine(肠), removing its genes and implanting them into an egg cell, which grew into a clone of the adult frog.
Different from the previous studies by much more senior scientists，his idea was controversial(引起争议的) at the time and it was a decade before the then-graduate student’s work became widely accepted.
But it led directly to the cloning of Dolly the Sheep by Prof Ian Wilmut in 1996.Later on Prof Yamanaka found adult cells can be “reprogrammed” into stem cells for use in medicine.
Sir John professed to be unaware of the cash prize that awaits，but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.
【解题导语】 获得过诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的英国科学家约翰·格登的生物课成绩曾经在250名同年龄的男生中排最后一名，在其他科学类学科中成绩也都垫底，但是他没有放弃，最后取得了杰出的成绩。

1．Which of the following about Sir John Gurdon is TRUE? A．He once worked as a good teacher in a primary school. B．He and his team cloned the cloning sheep Dolly in 1996.
C．He is the first man to prove that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
D．He and his schoolmasters won the Nobel Prize in medicine or physiology. C 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段It was at Oxford as a postgraduate student that he published his famous research on genetics and proved for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.可知选项C正确。
2．Why did he once give up science subject to study classics? A．Because he showed great interest in classics. B．Because his schoolmaster told him to do so. C．Because it’s ridiculous to learn science subject. D．Because his teacher gave him a bad comment.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段末以及第三段首句After receiving the report, Sir John said he switched his attention to classics...可知他老师的不好的评价导致了他曾一度放弃了科学而专修古典文学，故选择D项。
3．What will Sir John Gurdon use the cash prize to do? A．To buy some scientific equipment. B．To support PhD students to study. C．To donate his money to the poor. D．To award the other famous scientists.
B 解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段．..but said he would most likely invest it in a fund he has previously set up to support PhD students during their fourth year of study.可知他要把诺贝尔奖金设立为基金去帮助那些博士生，因此选项B符合文意。
4．What can we infer from the passage? A．Never say “die” to yourself. B．It’s never too late to learn. C．Misfortune may be an actual blessing. D．Many hands make the work lighter.
A 解析：推理判断题。约翰·格登曾一度对科学研究失去了兴趣，也曾一度在生物课成绩和其他科学类学科中成绩倒数，但是最终获得了诺贝尔生理学或医学奖，由此可推断出任何时候都不要对自己丧失信心，故选择A项。

Striking up a conversation with a stranger is fun and interesting, but risky.1.________If you make the effort despite your fears about talking to strangers, you might accidentally have the time of your life.Here are some ways to manage your anxiety while you are talking to strangers.
Practice until talking to strangers is second nature.Talking to strangers is like any other skill：the more you do it, the better you get at it.2.________You won’t even have to think about how to manage conversations with strangers.If you find talking to strangers overwhelming, take it slow at the beginning.You might begin by promising yourself that you’ll talk to two strangers in a week.Add one person each week.
Attend social events by yourself.3.________Without any friends to hide behind, you’ll be more likely to put yourself out there.If you don’t talk to anyone the first couple times, that’s fine！You still went out and were among strangers, which you had never done before!
Fake(佯装) it till you make it.If you go on a job interview or want to talk to an attractive person, you might worry that everyone can see how uncertain you feel.4.________Just pretend you’re more confident than you actually feel, and the person you’re talking to will see what you want them to see.Remember, the more you practice talking to strangers, the less you’ll have to fake your confidence.
5．________When you start putting yourself out there, you may well get some rude or unfriendly behavior from someone you approach.If someone rejects your approach, don’t take it personally! Try to see failure as exciting—it’s a chance to learn and improve.

The medicine that I take for my rheumatoid arthritis(风湿性关节炎) causes me to wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth.January 15，2018, was no different.I woke up at 2：30 a．m. needing water.I was walking back upstairs from the kitchen when I heard my American bulldog, Rock.
Whatever Rock was doing down there, it made enough noise for me to go to him.By the time I made it to the bottom of the stairs, he was running up, and he never came up the stairs, no matter what.I think that was his way of telling me, “We’ve got to go back up.”
When I got to the top of the stairs, I turned around and saw a light on, but I didn’t remember leaving one on.I walked downstairs again，and that’s when I saw fire.I immediately shouted to my wife to wake up and get our three kids.I then broke the window, got everybody out on the roof and threw a blanket out there so we wouldn’t slip off.Then I started screaming for help.But help never came.
I’m scared of heights and have physical issues, because of my rheumatoid arthritis, but I couldn’t let my family burn up.So I jumped off the roof and got the wind knocked out of me when I landed.
I found our ladder, placed it against the house, and climbed back up to the roof.I wrapped my arms around my daughter and carried my nine-month-old son with my teeth, by his little sleeper.Then I climbed down the ladder.Once on the ground，I had my little girl hold her brother.Then I went back up again and got my wife.I tried to get my dog, but I never saw him again.
I’m not a hero.I’m just an ordinary person who would help anybody.This happened to be the time when I helped my own family.I live to protect my family.Just like Rock—he lived to protect us.
