20、is book, The Lost Garden, “will always be the one that you remember best. I have been away from it for over twenty years, but I still go back in my dreams.” For Yep, whose father came from China, home was an apartment and the family grocery store in a neighborhood of San Francisco. It was there that

21、 he learned about patience, hard work, and getting along with neighbors.Mr. Brown, Laurence Yeps high school English teacher, often set high goals for his students. He was the first person to encourage Yep to write. The experience of that class changed the direction of Yeps life. At the age of 18 Ye

22、p published his first short story, a sci-fi fantasy. He has since written many books and many kinds of books. He has retold Chinese folk stories and written for the theater. In nearly all these varied works, Yep, who is married to the childrens book author Joanne Ryder, has returned to questions he

23、has been asking himself since childhood: What does it mean to be Chinese and American? Can one who belongs to two cultures ever feel at home anywhere?When asked, “How has being of a Chinese by origin been important to you?” Laurence Yep replied, “As a child I wanted to be as American as possible. Th

24、en, in my early twenties, I became very interested in my Chinese roots. For years after that, I thought that my function as a Chinese American writer was to act as a bridge between two cultures. Now, though, I am not so sure that it is possible to join them together. Compared with Asian culture, Ame

25、rican culture pays more attention to individuals and competition. The two cultures pull in opposite directions. So I see myself now as someone who will always be on the border between two cultures. That works to my benefit as a writer because not quite fitting in helps me be a better observer.”25. A

29、dymium, but these elements (元素) and others known as “rare earth” play a major role in modern technology. They can actually be found in many places on the earth, but not in quantities that can be mined. Only a few countries China, America, India, Australia, Brazil and Malaysia have any that can be mi

30、ned enough to be traded. Even though some of these elements such as Cerium are as abundant as Copper, they are not found in concentrated amounts on the earths surface. They are often mixed together with other metals, which makes extraction (提取) of these elements an expensive and an environmentally m

31、essy process. It was due to this reason that the term “rare earth” was invented.Rare earth metals are used widely in our life. Rechargeable car batteries, computers, iPhones, DVD players, computer monitors, televisions, lighting, lasers, glass polishing, and superconductors all use quantities of rar

32、e earth metals. Also, with the advancement in “green” technology like solar panels, these shiny materials are becoming more important than ever. An average electric car uses 10 pounds of Lanthanum for its rechargeable battery!America has large deposits (存储量) of rare earths and has one of the first m

33、ines. It was opened in Southern California in 1940. The element “Europium” was the first metal to be separated in quantity for use in color televisions. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, as China started producing these elements in Inner Mongolia, the mines in America and elsewhere could not keep pac

34、e. The mine in Mountain Pass, California also failed environmental regulations and shut down in 2002.Now, recognizing the importance of having more than one supplier of this important resource, other rare earth owning countries like India and Australia are either dusting off their rare earth mines o

35、r speeding up their production. It is believed that the debate over rare earths will become louder in the coming months and years.29. What can we learn about rare earths?A. They are actually as abundant as Copper. B. They can be mined easily as other metals.C. They can only be found in a few countri

36、es. D. They are not really as rare as they are named.30. Compared with China, America _.A. paid more attention to Europium B. has larger deposits of rare earthsC. started producing rare earths earlier D. has more rare earth mines31. It can be inferred from the text that rare earths _.A. are now in g

37、reat demand B. can now be used in few fieldsC. are harmful to the environment D. will soon be replaced by other metalsDShould universities focus on training workers for the next decade or curing diseases for the next century? A group of governors, educators, and CEOs weighed in on the best way unive

38、rsities can prepare for the future. They debated how the U.S. can take the responsibility for research while still preparing students for real jobs. Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin said that the first thing she thinks about as governor is educating Oklahoma students and strengthening the workforce. So

39、 shes carrying out a program called “America Works: Education and Training for Tomorrows Jobs” that aims to “reorganize our education system with the current needs of our employers”.The state governor added that this new educational approach doesnt just benefit students and companies, but also impro

40、ves the state economy. “Weve been able to attract new companies to our state because of what were doing with our universities, because our students are a pipeline for the workforce,” she said. “General Electric Company (one of the worlds biggest companies) is coming to Oklahoma.” Other group members

41、 were more focused on the long-term goals of a research university. Amy Gutmann pointed out that “basic research is the foundation for everything else that happens at a university. And if we dont do it, nobody else will.”“And if nobody does that research, well pay the price in health care bills,” ar

42、gued Vagelos, who is a former CEO of Merck & Co., Inc, one of the largest pharmaceutical (制药的) companies in the world. “The jobs of universities are basic research, which is what is needed for attacks on disease,” he said. “There has been a reduction in coronary heart disease (冠心病) by 60% in the las

43、t forty years because of this research, and that reduces health care costs.” James Hunt, former North Carolina governor, argued for a happy medium. Effective communication, he said, would help the public see that the research conducted at universities actually serves a practical purpose. Eli Broad,

44、founder of the Broad Foundations, agreed. “We have to show the public what research has achieved,” he said. “We have to show how it actually goes from basic research to something they can understand.” 32. Why does Oklahoma appeal to General Electric Company? A. University graduates in the state are

45、well trained. B. Theres much support from the local government. C. Many students in the state hope to be workers.D. The state economy has been growing rapidly. 33.

46、y heart disease in order to show _.
