I'm Alfred. I was born with a problem in my backbone and mobility (行走能力) was a big challenge (挑戰(zhàn)) for me,but thanks to my teachers and friends,my school life was excellent.

  My friends and I used to sit together and have lots of fun. Whenever we got a free period,we used to start shouting or play games. I took part in all competitions,such as poetry writing,story writing,painting and all activities on Teachers' Day or somebody's birthday and had much fun.

  My English teacher was very tall. The moment she entered the class,we would all sit quietly and open the books. She would encourage me by giving me important assignments and also morning news to read during the assembly. She would come down and listen to my English debate (辯論) ，which made me participate (參加) in all debate competitions.

  The same was true of my biology and science teacher. She was very nice and sweet. She would always give me extra information on the biology project. I could not go to the lab for practicals ( lessons or exams in science,cooking,etc. in which you have to do or make something yourself rather than write or read about it) ，so she would bring down the lab and help me with the biology and science practicals and would give me excellent marks.

  My friends made me monitor and the naughty boys listened to me. My friends used to help me with my notes when I was absent (缺席的) .My teachers always gave me important project work and I felt proud when they patted me on the back after I finished it quickly and correctly. I was never shouted at or made fun of or scolded (批評) by any of my friends or teachers.

  Today I often see the terrible punishments given to students on TVs. I feel very sad.

  I really want to express my love and thanks to all my wonderful teachers and friends,without whom my school life would not have been so excellent and unforgettable. I really pray to God that each child in the world is blessed with caring teachers and friends.

 Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.

  Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy,he was told he was hopeless in science and finished bottom of his class. However,aged 79,the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell (干細(xì)胞) researcher Shiny a Yamanaka.

  Like so many scientists,Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity and perseverance (堅(jiān)持不懈) can lead.

  At the age of 15 in 1948,Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in Biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was quite ridiculous.

  In spite of his teacher's criticism,Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab earlier and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.

  "My own belief is that we will,in the end,understand everything about how cells actually work," said Gurdon.'

  In 1962,Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic (基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone (克隆) of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create the sheep Dolly in 1996,the first cloned mammal（哺乳動(dòng)物) in the world.

  In 2006,Gurdon's work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique,doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

  "Luck favors the prepared mind," Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. "Ninety percent of the time things don't work,but when they do,you have to seize (抓住) the chance."

(   ) 1. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

   A. Sir John Gurdon.              B. Shinya Yamanaka.

    C. Sir John Gurdon and Shinya Yamanaka. D. Gurdon's science teacher.

(   ) 2. In what order do the following things happen?

   a. create the sheep Dolly

   b. take a cell from an adult frog

   c. use a person's skin to create stem cells

   d. move the frog's genetic information into an egg cell

   e. grow into a clone of the adult frog

   A. b,a,c,d,e   B. b,d,e,a,c   C. b,d,a,c,e   D. b,e,d,a,c

(   ) 3. What does the underlined word "ridiculous" mean in Chinese?

   A. 無知的   B. 無畏的   C. 荒廢的   D. 荒謬的

(   ) 4. According to the passage,which statement is TRUE?

   A. As a boy? Gurdon was told he was hopeful.

   B. Gurdon ranked first at his high school in Biology.

   C. It's impossible for the doctors to repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

   D. In spite of his teacher's criticism,Gurdon kept working hard.

(   ) 5. What's the main idea of the passage?

   A. 90% of the time things don't work. B. Luck favours the prepared mind.

   C. Life is full of surprises.      D. How cells actually work.

  I shook hands with my father in the truck,and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn't say a word. But I knew he was going to say a little to me. "I can't tell you anything," he finally said. "I never went to college,and none of your brothers went to college. I can't say don't do this or do that,because everything is different and I don1! know what is going to come up. I can't help much with money,either,but I think things will work out.”

  He gave me a new chequebook. "If things get pushing,write a small check. But when you write one,send me a letter and let me know how much it is. There are some things we can always sell. ” In four years all the checks I wrote were less than one thousand dollars. My parttime jobs such as reading to the blind students and sitting with the teachers' kids filled in the financial gaps.

  "You know what you want to be,and they'll tell you what to take," my father went on. "When you get a job,be sure it's honest,and work hard. ” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town,and I would miss the cool wind and the life where your thinking was done for you.

  Then my dad reached down beside his seat and took out the old,broken Bible that he had read many times,the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the neighbors. I knew he would miss it. I knew,though,that T must take it.

  He didn't say "Read this every morning. ” He just said, "This can help you if you read it."

 Did it help? I went to college without being a burden on the family. I had been able to make money since then.
