I know 1 is from the video that I get a lot of inspiration. It teaches me lessons 2 how to live an exciting
life. You can feel Myhrvold"s passion and 3 (enthusiastic) during the talk. He is a clear example of curiosity.
I thought I already had wide interests, 4 after watching this video I realize just how narrow my world is.
I learn a lot from the depth of his interests. 5 I"m interested in something, usually I only have enough
interest to go through 6 skin. I don"t have enough interest to go deep into that subject. But Myhrvold not
only has wide interests, 7 has deep interests. It"s deep enough to make him an expert in a field. This is an
important lesson for me. I need to widen my interests, but even 8 (important), I need to deepen them. That"s
a key to 9 (live) an exciting life.
I just imagined that if Leonardo da Vinci lived in the 21st century, he 10 (be) like Nathan Myhrvold.

AIDS Day.
The red ribbon, an international symbol of AIDS awareness, is gaining increasing public recognition as
more Chinese, from top leaders to movie stars, wear it today.
Gone were the days when the topic of HIV/AIDS was a public and media taboo (禁忌). Over the past few
years, we have watched, read and heard many stories from doctors, volunteers and public health officials at
the forefront of HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment.
Quite a few people with HIV/AIDS have come forward to share their experiences on TV or in the media.
The local and central governments have become more forthcoming (be helpful) with their new prevention
and treatment programmes, and financial input. The latter rose from less than 1 million yuan (US$ 121,000) in
1986 to a pledge of 800 million yuan (US$98.8 million) in the year of 2006.
The change from silence to public and media campaigns with official promises has been remarkable,
especially since China battled through the SARS crisis.
But have we got a full understanding on HIV/AIDS? What do we know about the extent of HIV/AIDS in
China?
The figures, ranging from confirmed cases to estimates, remain debated. After all, no more than a year has
passed since the policy of free medical tests was make public. Unknown numbers from the high-risk groups
drug addicts and people working in sex- related place as well as farmers who once sold blood could still be
reluctant to come forward.

This book is written expressly (清楚地) for students in an attempt to present the material that is most
useful and interesting to them. Previous courses in chemistry are not necessary for the understanding of the
material, although those students who have had high school chemistry will find that a review of the inorganic
section will better enable them to master the organic and biochemistry sections that follow.
The author has felt that in the past there was an improper selection of material from inorganic, organic,
and biochemistry in the majority of the textbooks of chemistry for nurses. The tendency has been to develop
the inorganic chemistry to such an extent that organic and biochemistry are covered too briefly. The recent
advances in biochemistry and their widespread application to the practice of medicine and nursing have
considerably altered the situation. Not only is biochemistry more closely allied to the practical chemistry of
medicine and nursing, but also it is of more interest to the students. In the author"s experience the response
to biochemistry has always been more favorable than to other sections. Within the brief period allotted to
chemistry, therefore, the sections on inorganic, organic, and biochemistry should be so arranged that a good
share of the time is spent on the study of biochemistry. This book presents mainly those fundamentals of
inorganic and organic chemistry that are necessary for the understanding of the section on biochemistry.
The fundamental points suggested in the Curriculum Guide are included in the book, with some additions
in the biochemistry section. The author feels that a study of urine, vitamins, nutrition, and hormones is so
obviously a part of biochemistry that at least the fundamentals should be included in this course.
The book has been planned in such a way that it may be adapted to various courses in chemistry. The
material suggested by Curriculum Guide is covered in the first nineteen chapters and may be used in
accelerated courses or where minimum time is allotted to chemistry. When the time allotted to the course is
sixty to ninety hours, the entire contents of the book may be used to advantage. While the book has been
written especially to fit the needs of schools of nursing, it could readily be applied in instances where students
are required to take but one course in chemistry. The apathetic (无动于衷的) attitude of nonprofessional
students toward a course in inorganic chemistry may well be overcome by the proper presentation of material
selected from inorganic, organic, and biochemistry.
B. a professor"s letter to his students
C. the record of an introductory speech
D. from a school announcement
B. a good mastery of biochemistry is essential
C. one needn"t have studied chemistry before
D. one must first review his high school courses
B. biochemistry
C. organic chemistry
D. chemistry as a whole
B. obtained
C. needed
D. distributed
B. thoroughness in the field
C. vividness of the language
D. adaptability to various needs
The evidence for harmony may not be obvious in some families. But it seems that four out of five young
people now get on with their parents, which is the opposite of the popularly held image (印象) of unhappy
teenagers locked in their room after endless family quarrels.
An important new study into teenage attitudes surprisingly shows that their family life is more harmonious
than it has ever been in the past. "We were surprised by just how positive today"s young people seem to be
about their families," said one member of the research team."They"re expected to be rebellious (叛逆的) and
selfish but actually they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry
about whether school is serving them well. There"s more negotiation (商议) and discussion between parents
and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making process. They don"t want to rock
the boat."
So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their
children as friends."My parents are happy to discuss things with me and willing to listen to me," says
17-years-old Daniel Lazall."I always tell them when I"m going out clubbing. As long as they know what I"m
doing, they"re fine with it." Susan Crome, who is now 21, agrees. "Looking back on the last 10 years, there
was a lot of what you could call negotiation. For example, as long as I"d done all my homework, I could go
out on a Saturday night. But I think my grandparents were a lot stricter with my parents than that."
Maybe this positive view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage
rebellion is not rooted in real facts. A researcher comments,"Our surprise that teenagers say they get along
well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as
different beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents really only happened during
that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth
change from helping out with the family business to taking it over."

B. cause trouble in their families
C. go boating with their family
D. make family decisions
B. are much stricter with their children
C. care less about their children"s life
D. give their children more freedom
B. is common nowadays
C. existed only in the 1960s
D. resulted from changes in families
B. Education in family.
C. Harmony in family.
D. Teenage trouble in family.
