felt as she did.
Maria Montessori was born in 1870 in northern Italy. Both her parents were well educated.
While Maria was a student, she took great interest in the study of the particular nature of the child"s mind.
It came to her that small children should have freedom to learn.
Maria became a doctor and a professor at Rome University. In 1907, after working with backward students, she was given a chance to try out her ideas on children. There were sixty children, aged three to six, in the
Children"s House. The rooms were bright and colorful. Maria let the children make their own choice of what
they wanted to do and work with their own speed. They became busy, peaceful and happy.
Maria Montessori was one of the world"s greatest teachers. She traveled in Europe, America and Far East.
She thought that true education, providing (提供) for the real needs of the child, would produce wise and
happy grown-ups and therefore a peaceful world. Her original way of education has changed our whole idea
of what childhood is.

seventy-five years,and had taught freshman chemistry to over 40,000 college students. For his life, he had
published a popular chemistry textbook and dozens of articles,had managed the U.S. Olympic ski team, and
discovered a way to allow deep-sea divers to stay underwater longer.In his own way,Dr. Hildebrand was
certainly a genius.
Dr. Hildebrand"s interest in chemistry began at an early age. In an interview, he once said that his interest
had to make his own decision about what to pay attention to.Even as a student in high school, Dr. Hildebrand
had the fame as the one who learned more chemistry than his teacher knew. As a result he was given the keys
to the high school chemistry lab, and there he discovered that the correct formula (公式) for a certain chemical compound was not the one given in his chemistry book but a totally different one. Dr. Hildebrand went on to
teach at the University of California at Berkeley and remained there for almost forty years.
During that time, Dr, Hildebrand discovered that the gas helium (氦)could be combined with oxygen for use
as diving gas to allow divers to dive deeper and take the great pressure of the water without the physical
discomforts that had been experienced when that used another gas, nitrogen. The use of helium for deep-sea
diving is now standard practice.Dr. Hildebrand was also valuable to his country during both world wars. In
World War I he analyzed the poisonous gases used on the battlefield and helped develop a truck that could
clean and treat soldiers" clothes which had been contaminated (弄脏) by poisonous gases during fighting. In
World War II he helped develop a type of snowmobile,a vehicle used to carry the soldiers through the snow in
northern countries. Dr. Hildebrand"s retirement (退休) from teaching at the age of seventy was required by
state law in California.
He objected to this,joking he thought a teacher"s time of retirement ought to be determined not by age but
by how many of that teacher"s students were still awake after the first fifteen minutes of class!
Dr. Hildebrand"s writing career continued,however, and was still feeling strong at the age of 100,when he
published an article on the theory of chemical solutions. Dr. Hildebrand"s love of life and his interest in it were
an inspirations to all who knew him. When asked once how he could have such ageless energy and vigor, he
said,"I chose my ancestors carefully."
B. A favourable means to encourage learning.
C. Something that was not helpful to people"s attention
D. Something that man had to use in their daily life.
B. Could use the chemistry as he liked.
C. His teachers were not so clever as he was.
D. Discovered the formula for some chemical compound(成分)
B. was discovered with the help of Dr. Hildebrand"s teachers.
C. was a great help to the invention of snowmobiles.
D. helped to make the divers love their job.
B. A Well-know Professor of Chemistry
C. A Man Who Lived a Long and Valuable Life
D. The Greatest Discovery of the Century
lacked the harmony (和睦) that was typical of a happy family. Later, Yeats shocked his family by saying
that he remembered "little of childhood but its pain". In fact, he inherited (继承) excellent taste in art from
his family-both his father and his brother were painters. But he finally settled on literature, particularly drama
(戏剧) and poetry.
Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements. He set himself the fresh task in founding
an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s. His early theatrical experiments, however, were not received
favorably at the beginning. He didn"t lose heart, and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama.
Compared with his dramatic works, Yeats"s poems attract much admiring notice. The subject matter
includes love, nature, history, time and aging. Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms, he
brought modern sensibility to them. As his literary life progressed, his poetry grew finer and richer, which
led him to worldwide recognition.
He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923. Yet, he continued writing
almost to the end of his life. Had Yeats stopped writing at age 40, he would probably now his valued as a
manor poet, for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works
between the ages of 50 and 75. After Yeats"s death in 1939, W.H. Auden wrote, among others, the following
lines:
Earth, recive an honoured guest:
William Yeats is laid to rest.
Let the Irish vessel (船) lie
Emptied of its poetry
B. It had an artistic atmosphere.
C. It was shocked by Yeats"s choice.
D. It was a typically wealthy family.
B. Yeats stuck to modern forms in his poetry.
C. Yeats began to produce his best works from the 1910s.
D. Yeats was not favored by the public until the 1923 Noble Prize.
B. Sympathy
C. Emptiness
D. Admiration
B. Yeats"s historical influence
C. Yeats"s artistic ambition
D. Yeats"s national honor
120 years and 238 days, she became the longest-lived human being on record. A Japanese man died in 1986
at the age of 120 years and 237 days.
Jeanne Calment lives in a small old people"s home in the south of France; her husband, her only child and
her grandson have all died. She is nearly blind and deaf and is always in a wheelchair, but her doctor describe
s her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She still has a lively sense of humor. When asked on her 120th birthday what she expected of the future, she replied: A very short one. She also
remarked that she thought the good Lord had forgotten all about her.
So what is the key to a long life? According to some doctors, diet, exercise and no smoking are the three
important factors. Jeanne Calment has followed two of the tips. She has always eaten a healthy diet, and she
used to do exercises every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two
glasses of strong red wine a day, and she does smoke(now only a little). Besides, Jeanne Calment might have
got very good genes (基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.
A local lawyer bought her house when she was 80 under an agreement that he would pay her some money
every year until her death. It must have seemed a good move at the time, but so far the lawyer has paid her at
least three times the value of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sends him a card saying:
Sorry, I"m still alive!
B. She is cheerful and humorous.
C. She would like to live much longer.
D. She feels she is going to die very soon.
B. her giving up smoking and drinking
C. drinking two glasses of strong red wine every day
D. the good genes from her parents, a healthy diet and some exercises
B. Because she has asked the lawyer to pay her more rent than they first agreed.
C. Because the lawyer has paid her much more money than the value of the house.
D. Because the house she sold to the lawyer isn"t worth the money he has already paid.
children can sing a simple nursery rhyme. Wolfgang"s older sister Maria Anna (who the family called Nannerl)
was learning the clavier, an early keyboard instrument, when her three-year-old brother took an interest in
playing. As Nannerl later recalled, Wolfgang"often spent much time at the clavier picking out thirds (三度音),
which he was always striking, and his pleasure showed that it sounded good." Their father Leopold, an assistant concertmaster at the Salzburg Court, recognized his children"s unique gifts and soon devoted himself to their
musical education.
Born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, Wolfgang had composed his first original work by age
five. Leopold planned to take Nannerl and Wolfgang on tour to play before the European courts. Their first
venture was to nearby Munich where the children played for Maximillian III Joseph, elector of Bavaria.
Leopold soon set his sights on the capital of the Hapsburg Empire, Vienna. On their way to Vienna, the family
stopped in Linz, where Wolfgang gave his first public concert. By this time, Wolfgang was not only a skilled
harpsichord player, but he had also mastered the violin. The audience at Linz was amazed by the six-year-old,
and word of his genius soon traveled to Vienna. In a much attended concert, the Mozart children appeared at
the Schonbrunn Palace on October 13, 1762. They completely attracted the emperor and empress.
Following this success, Leopold received a lot of invitations for the children to play, for a fee. Leopold
seized the opportunity and booked as many concerts as possible at courts throughout Europe. A concert could
last three hours, and the children played at least two per day. Today, Leopold might be considered the worst
kind of stage parent, but at the time, it was not uncommon for talented people to make extensive concert tours. Even so, it was an exhausting schedule for a child who was just past the age of needing an afternoon nap.
B. Stage Parents: A Historical Point of View.
C. Mozart: The Early Life of a Musical Genius.
D. Mozart: The Short Career of a Musical Genius.
B. Word of Wolfgang"s genius spread to the capital.
C. Leopold set his sights on Vienna.
D. Invitations for the miracle children to play poured in.
except ________.
B. Maria Anna was also talented in music
C. Wolfgang"s childhood was devoted to his musical career
D. Wolfgang preferred the violin to other instruments
Five-time world overall short-track speed skating champion Yang Yang( A) won China" s first-ever Winter
Olympic gold medal with a runaway victory in the 500m final on Saturday.
Yang Yang, putting behind her a dismal fourth place finish in the 1,500 meters three days ago, got off to a
sparking lead and never looked back to cross the line in 44. 187 seconds. World-record holder and four-time
European champion Evgenia Radanova followed her 0.065 seconds behind.
Another Chinese, Wang Chunju, the world champion in the shortest distance came in third, two-hundredths
of second further behind.
Yang,25,whose name is tagged with the letter A to distinguish her from her younger teammate and
namesake, Yang Yang ( S),is the overall World Cup winner in this season, with the top points in the 1,000m
and 1,500m.
In the 1,500m, the younger Yang,24, who won two silver medals in Nagano four years ago, crashed out
