What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is \tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.

The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the Theory of Relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einstein's ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.

Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed.

The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed. And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.

Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action.

6、Our long-term goals mean a lot _______. A. if we cannot reach solid short-term goals

B. if we complete the short-term goals C. if we have dreams of the future D. if we put forward some plans

7、New short-term goals are built upon______.

A. a daily basis B. your achievement in a week

C. current activities D. the goals that have been completed 8、When we complete each step of our goals, ________.

A. we will win final success B. we are overwhelmed

2

C. we will build up our confidence to achieve success

D. we should have strong desire for setting new goals 9、What is the main idea of this passage? _______

A. Life is a dynamic thing. B. We should set up long-term goals. C. Different kinds of goals in life. D. The limitation of long-term goals. 10、Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? _______

A. The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-term goals. B. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. C. Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us. D. We should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed.

In the United States there was an unusual tale telling of the daughter of a mechanic. One day while walking along the bank of a lake, the girl happened to see 20 eggs laid by a wild goose. After some time the girl realized the mother would not return to her eggs and she decided to take them home. There she carefully placed the eggs in the heat of a lamp. Several days later the eggs broke and the baby geese came into the world.

Geese are known to take the first living thing they see as their mother. Thus, to these young geese, the girl was their mother.

As they grew, the girl was able to lead her birds to run across the grass, but she could not teach them to fly. The girl became increasingly worried about this, both when awake and in her dreams. Later, she had an idea. She would pilot a plane to guide them in flight. She asked her father for a plane and he assembled small aircraft for her.

Caring about her safety, the father decided to pilot the plane himself. However, the birds did not recognize or follow him, and instead slept in the grass.

One day, the girl climbed into the plane, started it and soon left the ground. Seeing their mother take to the air, the birds eagerly flapped their wings and set out. She flew the plane freely in the sky, her young birds following.

11. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. The Daughter of a Mechanic. C. A Girl and Her Geese . A. Because she liked the eggs. B. Because she wanted to eat the eggs. C. Because her father asked her to do so.

B. A Girl and Her Father. D. How to Teach Birds to Fly.

12. Why did the girl decide to take the eggs home?

3

D. Because she knew that the mother goose will not come back. l3. The baby geese naturally took _________ as their mother. A. the mother geese

B. the girl D. the girl’s father

B. He piloted the plane himself. D. Both A & B. B. By themselves. D. By staying in the plane.

C. the first thing they touch

14. What did the girl’s father do to help her? A. He assembled a small plane. C. He taught the geese how to fly. 15. How did the young geese learn to fly? A. By following the girl in the plane. C. By following the girl’s father.

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use.

When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn't serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony.

I arrived in the United States on February 6,1966, but I remember my first day here very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane landed at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very cold and it was snowing, but I was too excited to mind. From

the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my hotel. On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the first time and I stared in astonishment at the famous skyscrapers and their man-made beauty. My friend helped me unpack at the hotel and them left me because he had to go back to work. He promised to return the next day.

Shortly after my friend had left, I went to a restaurant near the hotel to get something to eat. Because I couldn’t speak a word of English, I couldn’t tell the waiter what I wanted. I was very upset and started to make some gestures, but the waiter didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the same thing the man at the next table was eating. After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway until I came to Times Square with its movie theatres, neon lights, and huge crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I continued to walk around the city. I wanted to see everything on my first day. I knew it was impossible, but I wanted to try.

When I returned to the hotel, I was exhausted, but I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing the fire and police sirens during the night. I lay awake and thought about New York.
