He had a younger brother called Sam and he seldom shared his toys with him. “You must share, Thomas,” said his mother. “One day you will want somebody to share something with you and they won’t. Then you will be very upset.” _____________________________ “I will be fine, Mom,” Thomas replied. “As long as I have my own toys, I will always be fine.” “Very well,” his mother said. “It seems that you know best.” One day Thomas’ mother decided to teach him a lesson. At Christmas, she knew that both boys wanted the same video game. She knew that if she bought it for Thomas, Sam would never get to play it. So she bought the game for Sam. When Christmas Day arrived, both boys were patiently waiting for their presents in front of the fireplace. As Sam opened his present, he was very excited. Thomas saw it was the game he wanted and smiled. “Thank you so much, Mom!” Sam said. “There is just one thing, Sam,” his mother said. “You cannot share this game with your brother.” Thomas hardly believed his ears! “Why not, Mom?” he asked furiously without much thought. “Because you don’t share any of your toys with Sam and it wouldn’t be fair,” his mother replied. “If you share some of your toys with Sam, then I am sure he will let you play his game.” “OK,” Thomas said slowly, “that seems fair.” From that day on, the two boys shared all their toys and games. 1.

But for most of the race’s 120-year history, only men were allowed to compete. A woman named Gibb helped change that in 1966. That year she took part in the Boston Marathon and finished ahead of most of the men. Gibb first saw and got to know the Boston Marathon in 1964. And she wanted to run the race herself. For nearly two years, Gibb trained hard to prepare for the race.But when she sent in an application(申请) for the 1996 race, she wasrefused. At the time, the longest official races forwomen were only 1. 5 miles. Many people didn't think women were able to run longer than that. But the 23-year-old Gibb refused to give up her dream.She came up with a plan to run the race anyway.On April 19,she showed up at the marathon. She woreher brother's shorts and a sweatshirt to disguise (隐瞒）that she was a woman. Gibb hid near the starting line. When the race began, she jumped into the crowd. Shortly into the race, Gibb took off her sweatshirt. To her surprise, the crowd cheered when they realized she was a woman. Gibb finished the race in 3 hours and 21 minutes----faster than two thirds of the men. In the years that followed, she and other women ran in the Boston Marathon, even though the rules still stopped women from running in the race. Finally, in 1972, the marathon was officially opened to women. 5.As for Gibb’s first Boston Marathon, she finished _______.

Sir Isaac Newton, the seventeenth century scientist, was very smart, but that didn't stop him from doing some pretty stupid things. In his laboratory in Cambridge he often did the strangest experiments. Once, while testing how light passes through lenses (晶状体), he put a long needle into his eye, pushed it to the back, and then moved it around just to see what would happen. Luckily, nothing long-lasting did. On another time he stared at the sun for as long as he could bear, to discover what effect this would have on his sight. Again he escaped sufferingpermanent damage, though he had to spend some days in a darkened room before his eyes recovered. In the 1750s the Swedish chemist Karl Scheele was the first person to find a way to produce phosphorus (磷). He in fact discovered eight more chemical elements(元素) including chlorine (氯),though he didn't get any praise for them. He was a very clever scientist, but his one failing was a curious habit of tasting a little of every substance he worked with. This risky practice finally caught up with him, and in 1786 he was found dead in his laboratory surrounded(包围) by a large number of dangerous chemicals, any of which might have caused his death. Eugene Shoemaker was a respected geologist .He spent a large part of his life studying craters (火山口) on the moon, and how they were formed and later did research into the comets(彗星) of the planet Jupiter. In1997 he and his wife were in the Australian desert where they went every year to search for places where comets might have hit the earth. While driving in the Tanami desert, normally one of the emptiest places in the world, another car crashed into them and Shoemaker was killed on the spot(当场). Some of his ashes (骨灰) were sent to the moon aboard the Lunar Prospector spacecraft and left there -----he is the only person who has had this honor. 8.What does the underlined word “permanent” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Short B. Slight. C. Lasting. D. Common. 9.What did Karl Scheele like doing when performing experiments? A. Tasting chemicals. B. Staying in the empty lab. C. Experimenting in darkness. D. Working together with others. 10.What special honor was Shoemaker given after his death? A. He was buried in the Tanami desert. B. Some of his ashes were placed on the moon. C. One comet of Jupiter was named after him. D. A spacecraft carrying him traveled around Jupiter. 11. The text is mainly about three great scientists'__________ A. special honors B. great achievements C. famous experiments D. suffering in the job D
