I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “ Makseomething out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today—and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week ”A few students hesitated to start ,They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His constructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was delighted at the presence of such a student. Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work. His presence meant thatI had an un expected teach ing assista nt in class whose creativity would infe（感染）other stude nts. Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside, the ask of losing those students who had a different style of thinking. Without fail one would declare, “But I 'm just not creative. ”“Do you dream at night when you '？re”asleep“Ohs,ure. ”“Sotell me one of your most interesting dreams. ”Thsetudent would tell something wildly imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time ma chine or growing three heads. “That's pretty creative Who does that for you？”“NobodyI. do it. ”“Really a—tnight, when you 're asle？ep”“Sure. ”“Try doing it in the daytime ,in classo,kay？”25.

What does the underlined word"downside ”in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Mistake.B. Drawback.C. Difficulty.D. Burden28. Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?A. To help them to see their creativity.B. To find out about their sleeping habits.C. To help them to improve their memory.D. To find out About their ways of thinking.CReading can be a social activity. Think of the people who belong to book groups. They choose books to read and then meet to discuss them. Now, the website BookCrossing, com turns the page on the traditional idea of a book groups.Members go on the site and register the books they own and would like to share. BookCrossing provides an identification number to stick inside the book. Then the person leaves place, hoping that the book will have an adventure, traveling far and wide with each new reader who finds it.Bruce Pederson, the managing director of BookCrossing, says, "The two things that change your life are the people you meet and books you read. BookCrossing combines both"Members leave books on park benches and buses, in train stations and coffee shops.Whoever finds their book will go to the site and record where they found it.People who find a book can also leave a journal entry describing what they thought of it.E-mails are then can to the BookCrossers to keep them updated about their books have been found.Bruce Pederson says the idea is for people not to be selfish by keeping a book to gather dust on a shelf at home.BookCrossing is part of a trend among people who want to get back to the "real" and not the virtual（虚拟）.Thesite now has more tha n one millio n members in more tha n one hun dred thirty-five coun tries.29.

DA new collecti on of photos brings an un successful An tarctic voyage back to life.Frank Hurley's pictures would be outstanding - undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism if they had bee n made last week. In fact, they were shot from 1914 through 1916,most of them after a disastrous shipwreck 海难）,by a camerama n who had no reas on able expectati on of survival. Many of the images were stored in an ice chest, un der freez ing water, i n the damaged woode n ship.The ship was the En dura nee, a small, tight, Norwegia n-built three-master that was in ten ded to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists,27 men in all, to the souther nm ost shore of An tarctica's Weddell Sea. From that point Shacklet on wan ted to force a passage by dog sled （雪橇）across the continent. The journey was intended to achieve more than what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done. Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early in 1912 but had died with his four compa nions on the march back.As writer Caroli ne Alexa nder makes clear in her forceful and well-researched story. The En dura nee, adve nturi ng was eve n the n a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott's last journ ey, completed as he lay in a tent dying of cold and hunger, caught the world's imagination, and a film made in his honor drew crowds. Shacklet on, a on etime British mercha nt-n avy officer who had got to within 100 miles of the South Pole in 1908, started a bus in ess before his 1914 voyage to make money from movie and still photography.

AExcept for the Indians, the earliest backpackers in America were frontiersmen（边民），who traveled the wilderness looking either for necessities such as food and water or for sources of wealth such as fur and gold For them backpacking was a way of survival or a means of achievingwhat one day would be called the "American Dream".Today, however, many people enjoy backpacking as an entertaining activity. Shoulderinga pack and leaving behind the world of telephone, television and traffic promise an exciting experience. Testing one's stamina（耐力）and skills is challenging, and regaining a sense of one's place in the natural world can be rewarding.Moreover, backpacking is an activity that can last any length of time and can be enjoyed alone or with friends. Then too, a backpacking trip may be organized within a day or two. The backpacker and his friends have only to decide on their destination and then organize the all-important equipment, whose contents they must depend on the trip. A map, a compass, a flashlight, along with food, and extra clothing can be found without much difficulty. Once the backpackers have left word about where they go in a note on the refrigerator door or in a message on an answering machine, they can look forward to an adventure that will lift the spirit and promote the soul.

The laser beam scanner(激光扫描器) is the first device thatcan find the sometimes deadly disease without going inside the body. The test is painless, which does not need blood from a person, and appears to he right every time it is done.The newly developed device only needs a person to place a finger on a laser device. Doctor Dmitri Lopotko, a researcher at Rice University in Houston, Texas. "We shine with a laser beam scanner very short light pulse through the skin. And this light pulse is absorbed only by malaria parasites(寄生虫) because of the wavelength we use. And in response to this short light pulse, the parasite gradually explodes," he said.The light pulse comes from a low-powered laser. It has less power than a laser point. It shines on the hemozoin (疟原虫色素) which is produced by the malaria parasite once it has infected red blood cells. Hemozoin crystals （晶体）are not found in red cells that are not infected with malaria. As the crystals are heated by the laser, they create small bubbles inside inf'ected cells Doctor Lopotko says the bubbles exploded, and then make a sound thatscientists can hear and count. "You can find just a few infected cells in a million normal cells," he said. Doctor Lopotko says when researchers tested the device, it was never wrong. And it was able to find malaria infection early when treatment is very important.The device can be carried and uses its batteries. It costs about 10,000 t0 20,000 dollars t。
