B
When I was a senior student, I couldn’t understand my science teacher’s instructions, which
upset me a lot. So when it comes to home-schooling our daughters, my husband volunteered to teach
them science. But at that time he was too busy. I had to teach them instead.
One morning, I noticed the sky was a beautiful blue, and the air was filled with the sweet smell
of flowers. I decided the lessons would be taught outside.
I got the girls ready. We headed up into the forest, setting ourselves by a pond. My elder
daughter Saoirse began catching frogs, while my younger daughter Ula looked at me, waiting to be
instructed. I handed her a drawing board and the colored pencils. “We wait and see if something
comes along. In the meantime, just draw what’s around you. ” I told her.
Just then a bird flew across the water, and settled in front of a fallen tree. I quickly told Ula,
worried that she’d not seen the creature. But she had, and she began drawing it.
An hour later, she finished her picture and I found she drew the bird on her paper with amazing
accuracy (准确性). But there was one other interesting fact about this drawing: she also drew me,
sitting beside her.
Staring at this child’s drawing of us watching a bird, I realized how I’d lived for 40 years,
gathered 10 years of higher education, and never understood the basis of science before this moment.
It is a sense of wonder; it isn’t about accurately reciting words from textbooks. It is first about
stepping outside and admiring the world around us.
From that day on, it was I not my husband that acted as the science teacher.

C.She worked hard at it. D. She found it difficult.
26. In the author’s opinion, what is the basis of science?
A. Teacher’s instruction. B. Higher education.
C. Appreciating the world around. D. Getting knowledge from textbooks.

A. Wise and shy. B. Patient and careful.
C. Friendly and outgoing. D. Selfless and hard-working.
28. What is the best title for the text?
