But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.ne Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me.

I didn’t think I would be accepted because I didn’t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I left my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.ow I’ve got a full-time job there.

This was expressed by the equation E = mc2. But bombs were not what Einstein had in mind when he published this equation.In 1929, he publicly declared that if a war broke out he would "refuse to do war service, direct or indirect...." His position would change in 1933, as the result of Adolf Hitler's coming into power in Germany.Einstein's greatest role in the invention of the atomic bomb was signing a letter to President Franklin Roosevelt urging that the bomb be built because some physicists feared that Germany might be working on an atomic bomb. Among those concerned were physicists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. But they had no influence with those in power. So in July 1939 they explained the problem to someone who did: Albert Einstein. After talking with Einstein, in August 1939 Szilard wrote a letter to President Roosevelt with Einstein's signature on it, which was delivered to Roosevelt in October 1939.ermany had invaded Poland the previous month, the time was ripe for action. That October research of a-bomb began but proceeded slowly because the invention of theatomic bomb seemed distant and unlikely. In April 1940 an Einstein letter,ghost-written by Szilard, pressed the researchers on the need for "greater speed".s the realization of nuclear weapons grew near, Einstein looked beyond the current war to future problems that such weapons could bring. He wrote to his friend about his fear about the future use of the a-bomb.he atomic bombings of Japan occurred three months after Germany gave in.n November 1954, five months before his death, Einstein s ummarized his feelings about his role in the creation of the atomic bomb: "I made one great mistake in my life...when I signed the letter t o President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made; but there was some justification---the danger that the Germans would make them?.What can we learn about Szilard and Wigner ?. They had a purpose of destroying the world.. They had cheated their friend Einstein.. They were to blame for the invention of nuclear weapons.. They were not as influential as Einstein..Einstein realized his mistake in __________.. co-operating with his workmates. signing the letter to Roosevelt. publishing his equation. inventing the atomic bomb.We can conclude that Einstein __________.. assisted with the invention of atomic bomb. directly participated in the invention of the atomic bomb . was not involved in the invention of atomic bomb at all . contributed to the invention of atomic bomb. Please decide the order of the following events according to the passage.) Einstein's letter reached President Roosevelt.) The atomic bombs attacked Japan.) Germany invaded Poland.) Germany gave in.)

Mr. Blickez had told us that Elsie was the meanest bull in the township, and we believed him.

Mom said she would talk to Mr. Blickez if we would take our cousi n Joanie along with us. Joanie was two years older than me and a head taller. In fact, I still had a headache from a quarrel with her that morning. “I’m not going swimming with that dumb girl cousin.”I told my mom. “Either Joanie goes with, or you stay home alone,”Mom said in her serious tone. I gave in and we set out.n our way across the pasture, Walt yelled suddenly. Elsie had approached him quietly and was licking(舔) his back. Joanie and I dove under the wire fence, but while I was on the ground I looked up and saw that Elsie wasn’t a big mean bull after all. She was going to keep licking my brother’s back as long as he stood still.e had many good days growing up and visiting our secret swimming hole guarded by the so-called “big mean bull”.

T he first time I went to Halfmoon Bay. I suddenly had the feeling of notb e i n g a b l e t o f e e l t h e g r o u n d w i t h m y f e e t a n y m o r e.For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of c oral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 per cent of Australia's Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine sp ecies than any othercountry on earth. But sadly, only 45% of the world's reefs are considered healthy.T h i s s t a t i s t i c i s d e p r e s s i n g,s o i t's i m p o r t a n t f o r u s t o d o e v e r y t h i n g t o p r o t e c t hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to takea c t i o n.I'v eb ec o m e involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the o c e a n's s p e c i e s w i l l a l l h a v e a s af e p l a c e f o r e v e r.Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many bea utiful childhood memories of the ocean as a youngboy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.4.

The statue would celebrate its century of independence. To ship it, the statue was broken down into 350 pieces. And now, spread across Bedloe's Island in New York Harbour, it sat in 214 wooden packing boxes. The problem was that New York had no money to re-assemble it. Six other cities, less affected by the recent economic decline, had the money and bid to build it.But a Hungarian immigrant, Joseph Pulitzer, the owner of America’s biggest newspaper called the World, wouldn't let “Liberty” go. When he heard that the Statue of Liberty was about to die from lack of funds, he saw his chance.Pulitzer set the fund-raising goal of the World at $ 100,000. In its pages he laughed at the rich, thus increasing the paper’s appeal among working-class people, and firmly planted the idea that the statue was a monument not just for New York City but, indeed，for all of America.Perhaps Pulitzer’s cleverest trick was the promise to publish the name of every single contributor in the pages of the World, no matter how small the contribution. The editorial that opened the fund-raising campaign set its tone. He wrote：“The World is the people's paper and it now appeals to the people to come forward and raise the money for the statue's base. “ The statue, he said, was paid for by “the mass es of the French people. Let us respond in like manner.” The circulation of the World increased by almost 50,000 copies.African American newspapers joined in the effort, encouraging their readers to contribute to a monument that would, in part, celebrate the end of slavery. So the money poured in, as single-dollar donations from grandmothers and pennies from the piggybanks of schoolchildren.On August 11, 1885, the front page of the World announced, " ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS!" The goal had been reached, even slightly beyond, thanks to more than 120,000 contributions.8. What does the underlined word " re-assemble" ( Para. 1 ) probably mean?A. Put t ogether.B. Take apart.C. Transport.D. Repair.9. Which of the following was the greatest move in Joseph Pulitzer's success?A. Attacking the rich people.B. Celebrating the end of slavery.C. Printing every contributor's name in the World.D. Persuading children to donate their pocket money.10. What did Joseph Pulitzer try to convey to his readers about the Statue of Liberty?A. It was a symbol of independence.B. It was a monument for the whole USA.C. It was a wonder in the building history.D. It was a favor from the rich French people.11. What was the main purpose of Joseph Pulitzer’s efforts?A. To protect the Statue of Liberty.B. To win working-class readers over.C. To expand the circulation of his paper.D. To raise money for the Statue of Liberty.DThe importance of liking people is the subject of an article in the H arvard Business Review, which has carried out an experiment to find out wh o we’d rather work with. Hardly surprisingly, the people we want most as our workmates are both: brilliant at their jobs and delightful human bein gs. And the people we want least are both unpleasant and useless. More in t e r e s t i n g l y,t h e authors found that, given the choice between working with lovable fools andc o m p e t e n t j e r k s(性情古怪的人),we irresistibly choose the former. Anyway, who likes those stupid men who annoy or hurt other people? We might insist that competence matters more, b u t o u r b e h a v i o r shows we stay close to the people we like and sharing information with th em.What companies should therefore do is to get people to like each other more. The trick here is app arently to make sure staffs come across each o t h e r a s o f t e n a s p o s s i b l e d u r i n g t h ealso should be sent on bonding courses and so on to encourage friendline s s a n d b r e a k d o w n displeasure. However, more outdoor-activity weekends and shared coffee machine s i n s p i r e n o confidence at all.The reality is that people either like each other or they don’t.Youc a n’t f o r c e i t.P o s s i b l yyou can make offices friendlier by tolerating a lot of chat, but there is a productivity cost to that. In my experience, the question of lovable fool against competent jerk may not be the right one. The two are inter related: we tend not to like our workmates when they are completely hopele ss. I was once quite friendly with a woman whom I later worked with. I f o u n d h e r t o b e s obad at her job that I lost respect for her and ended up not really li k i n g h e r a t a l l.T h e n i s t h e r e anything that companies should be doing about it?By far the most effective strategy would be to hire people who are all pretty much the same, given that similarity is one of the main determina nts of whether we like each other. I think this is a preety good idea, but no one dares recommend this anymore . There is only one acceptable view on this subject: teams of similar people are bad because they stop c r e a t i v i t y.T h i s m a y b e true, though I have never seen any conclusive proof of it.Not only do we like similar people, we like people who like us. So ifc o m p a n i e s w a n t t o promote more liking, they should encourage a culture where we are all nice t o e a c h o t h e r.T h e trouble is that this needs to be done with some skill.12.According to the research, which kind of colleagues would most people tend to choose?A. Nice but unintelligentB. Creative but unattractive.C. Competent but unfriendly.D. Humorous but unambitious.13. The author talks about her experience to show that .A. people respect outstanding leadersB. people tend to like optimistic workmatesC. a workmate’s working ability is importantD. talkative workmates make offices friendlier14. Some people think that similar people working together may.A. offend each otherB. create fewer new ideasC. talk more and work lessD. be likely to stick together15.
