30、t we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember m

31、yself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see-the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving ne

32、ver to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was o

33、r what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.

38、ult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. good things will happen if one keeps tryingDFour people in England back in 1953, stared at Photo 51,It wasnt mucha picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo re

39、ally showed the shape of DNA. The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick, and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out. Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,” says historian Mary Bowden.” If her p

40、hotos hadnt been there, the others couldnt have come up with the structure.” One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors .

41、 At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Click tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNAs parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at Kings College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule(分子). The rays produced patterns reflection the shape. But Wil

42、kins and Franklins relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick, Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant . But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one

43、of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return, “Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to to go or be put in her place.”As Franklins competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain

44、 by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin, Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away fr

45、om the solution.” No, Franklin was the solution. “She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA . She must be considered a co-discoverer,” Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the

46、“Dark Lady of DNA”, Franklin is finally coming into the light.48. What is the text mainly about? A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.B. The unfair treatment of Franklin. C. The process of discovering DNA. D. The race between two teams of scientists.49. Watson was angry with Franklin because s

Why is Franklin described as “Dark Lady of DNA”?A. She developed pictures in dark labs.B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA. C . Her name

49、They also enjoy games that move in stages, in which each stage, the choosing of leaders, the picking-up of sides, or the determining of which side shall start, is almost a game in itself.Grown-ups can hardly find childrens games exciting. _53_. However, it is found that a child plays games for very

50、important reasons. He can be a good player without having to think whether he is a popular person and he can find himself being a useful partner to someone of whom he is ordinarily afraid. _54_. He can be confident too, in particular games, that it is his place to give orders, to pretend to be dead,

51、 to throw a ball actually at someone, or to kill someone he has caught.It appears to us that when children play a game they imagine a situation under their control., Everyone knows the rules and more importantly, everyone plays according to the rules._55_.A.

As we walked light-heartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says its going to rain.” I wan
