This giant insect can be used as a toy.
A child ties one end of a string to a stick and the other end around the "neck" of an insect. Holding the stick, the child lets the insect go. With a loud whirring sound, the insect takes off, pulling the string in a large curve over the child"s head. The child laughs as the stick jumps around. The child is African, and the toy is the African Goliath beetle, the largest insect in the world.
The Goliath is a true insect because it has six legs and a body that is divided into three parts. Like all beetles, it has two pairs of wings. The front pair are thick and stiff and protect the back pair, which are soft. It is these soft back wings that make the beetle fly forward. They also cause the loud whirring sound the beetle makes when it flies. To steer, the beetle twists and turns its legs the same way you steer a bike by turning its front wheel.
African children often use the Goliath beetle as a toy. Although it is over 15 centimeters long, it is quite harmless.
小题1:The African Goliath beetle is _______.
| A．the world"s largest insect |
| B．a toy used in many parts of the world |
| C．the only insect found in Africa |
| D．the world"s smallest insect |
| A．The curved string. | B．The beetle"s soft wings. |
| C．The beetle"s six legs. | D．The beetle"s body. |
| A．makes a whirring sound when it flies | B．has both soft and hard wings |
| C．has six legs and a body with three parts | D．can fly |
| A．turning its soft back wings |
| B．twisting and turning its hard front wings |
| C．twisting and turning its legs |
| D．twisting and turning its whole body |
Born in Strängnäs, a satellite city of Stockholm, in 1922, Nilsson got his first camera from his father when he was 11 years old．From the early stage, he has been interested in looking at ants and taking photos of them.Throughout the years, he has devoted special attention to capturing the creation of a human being, from conception to birth.
In 2006 when his photo book Life was published in both Swedish and English, he was invited to give a lecture at the Stockholm bookstore．He vividly described to the public how he took the photos so that the development process of the embryo can be understood better．Finally when he was signing his name in the book, I asked him what made him so passionate about working on this, he stopped writing and thought for a second, “I think it is the respect for life,” Nilsson said.
Nilsson began his career as a photographic journalist in the middle of the 1940s and published a numbe
r of 
pho
to-essays in Swedish and foreign magazines, including "Polar Bear Hunting in Spitzbergen" (1947) and Midwife.“When I went to the professor to take the embryo photo, I was looking around and then I saw something which was unbelievable, it was
a tiny human embryo lies in a very special place, a 10-20 millimeter embryo with hands, arms and eyes, and I got a shock,” Nilsson said.Nilsson began experimenting with new photographic techniques in the mid-1950s to report on the world of ants and life in the sea．H
is revealing macro-studies were published in his book on ants, Myror (1959), and in the Life in the Sea (1959), and in Close to Nature (1984)．In the 1960s special designed, very slim endoscopes (内窥镜))made it possible f
or him to photograph the blood vessels and the cavities (空洞) of the body with the necessary depth of field and, in 1970, he used a scanning electron microscope for the first tim
e, he was also considered the pioneer for three dimension digital pictures of the body organs.After his photographs of human embryo were published, he was encouraged to continue photographing the origins of human being.
Nilsson is very modest and sincere．At age of nearly 88, he is still cooperating with colleagues in Karolinska Institute where the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine is selected every year.
“He can forget all the other things when
he is working and he is still working diligently,” Mrs Nilsson told People’s Daily Online.小题1:Why does Nilsson want to document the creation of a human being?
| A．Because he is a pioneer in medical photography. |
| B．Because he has been interested in taking photos. |
| C．Because he thinks it a way to show respect for life. |
| D．Because he wished to win a Nobel Prize. |
n we learn from the passage?| A．Nilsson was the only expert in medical photography. |
| B．Nilsson’s camera is specially designed. |
| C．Nilsson’s photo book Life is better received than his other books. |
| D．Nilsson has always been working alone． |
| A．3． | B．4. | C．5. | D．6. |
| A．Passionate. | B．Devoted. | C．Forgetful. | D．Dillgent. |
| A．Nilsson, a pioneer medical photographer. |
| B．Nilsson, a pioneer medical publisher |
| C．Nilsson, a person of rich experience |
| D．Nilsson, a talented photographer |
Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius. That is the point where water turns to ice. 小题1: , it is important to lower the temperature to between minus fifteen and minus twenty degrees Celsius as quickly as possible. The faster the freezing process is, the fresher the taste of the food.
Fruits and vegetables can be spread out inside the freezer. Once the food is frozen, 小题2: . Fruits are usually not cooked before they are frozen. This allows them to keep their fresh taste. The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the “dry pack” method.
小题3: , The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can ad some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juices.
小题4: . Blanching means placing the vegetables in boiling water for a few minutes and then quickly placing them into very cold water. Blanching slows down the natural chemical aging process. All extra water should be removed before placing the vegetables into containers and freezing. 小题5: .
| A．it should be placed in containers and then stored at a temperature of about minus twenty degrees Celsius |
| B．Vegetables are either cooked or blanched before freezing |
| C．To start the freezing process |
| D．To keep them fresh for a long time |
F. Most foods can be stored frozen for up to one year
There is a beautiful story about a child playing with a vase his mother had left on the table for a few moments. When the mother turned 16 the sound of her son’s crying she saw that his 17 was in the vase and was apparently stuck. She 18 to help him and pulled and pulled until the child cried out 19 . But the hand was stuck fast（牢固地）. How would they get it out? The father suggested 20 the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 21 _. Yet he knew that if all else 22 there would be no other alternative.
So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more 23 . Open your hand and stretch your 24 out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “ 25 Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’ll 26 my penny!”
The boy had had a coin in his hand 27 and was holding it 28 in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 29 to open his hand and lose it. But 30 he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.
The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be 31 to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite 32 to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and 33 earthly（世俗的）things to fall. If we keep our fists 34 and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to 35 hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”

I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple 41 revolutionary -- combining a residential （住宅的）home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and 42 activities such as music, painting, gardening, and 43 for the pets which the residents are encouraged to keep. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and 44 a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always somebody attending to (照顾) him. There are trips out and birthday parties, too.
The 45 are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual 46 and respond well because someone has time for them. They also learn that old people are not “different” or “frightening” in 47 way. And of course, they see illness and death and learn to 48 them. The residents are happy because they feel 49 and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance, too. And the staff（全体职员） are happy because they see an improvement in the 50 and psychological health of the residents and have an army of assistants to help with the children.
