Scientists have made great discoveries. But how have they influenced our personal lives? Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived? You may be wondering: but why is it important to teach kids about modern-day scientists? First, stories of scientists can encourage kids. Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space, and he’s a real, guitar-playing person. He makes singing videos on YouTube! His story can make kids think scientists are also common people. Hearing scientists’ stories makes kids think “I can do that too!” But not only that, the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to never give up. Bill Nye was always refused when trying to be an astronaut. But today, he’s made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer. Besides, it’s no secret that scientific discoveries require trying, and trying again. Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity. Neil deGrasse Tyson, for example, is an African-American, which is not common in his field. Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist. It’s important to know that scientists don’t need to be “gifted” or “good” at school. Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school. That doesn’t have to be true. They just need to have a great interest in science. Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science. As long as they’re interested, they are likely to become a scientist in the future. Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation others have laid. This is important — no one can do it alone. Scientists’ stories can encourage today’s young scientists to keep trying. They’ll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of making discoveries. Even if they haven’t made important discoveries, their research may help the following scientists. 【1】What can Chris Hadfield’s story tell students? A.Scientists are interested in different things. B.Students should have a hobby of their own. C.Scientists can be ordinary like people around us. D.Students should consider scientists as their models. 【2】Which of the following would the author agree with? A.African-Americans are more likely to become scientists. B.Scientists are not necessarily very smart at school. C.Not all scientists really show interest in science. D.Scientists are usually good at their schooling. 【3】The last paragraph shows us that ________. A.scientists should help each other B.a scientist should never give up trying C.making discoveries is necessary for scientists D.new scientific discoveries may be based on others’ findings 【4】What is the text mainly about? A.Why scientists are important to us. B.Why students should be taught about scientists. C.Why students love stories of scientists. D.Why scientists can encourage students. |

I have a special place in my heart for libraries. I have for as long as I can remember. I was always an enthusiastic reader, sometimes reading up to three books a day as a child. Stories were like air to me and while other kids played ball or went to parties, I lived out adventures through the books I checked out from the library. My first job was working at the Ukiah Library when I was 16 years old .It was a dream job and I did everything from shelving books to reading to the children for story time. As I grew older and became a mother, the library took on a new place and an added meaning in my life. I had several children and books were our main source(来源) of entertainment. It was a big deal for us to load up and go to the local library, where my kids could pick out books to read or books they wanted me to read to them. I always read ,using different voices ,as though I were acting out the stories with my voice and they loved it !It was a special time to bond with my children and it filled them with the wonderment of books . Now, I see my children taking their children to the library and I love that the excitement of going to the library lives on form generation to generation. As a novelist, I’ve found a new relationship with libraries. I encourage readers to go to their local library when they can’t afford to purchase a book. I see libraries as a safe haven(避风港) for readers and writers, a bridge that helps put together a reader with a book. Libraries, in their own way, help fight book piracy(盗版行为) and 1 think all writers should support libraries in a significant way when they can. Encourage readers to use the library. Share library announcements on your social media. Frequent them and talk about them when you can. 【1】Which word best describes the author’s relationship with books as a child? A.Cooperative. B.Uneasy. C.Inseparable. D.Casual. 【2】What does the underlined phrase “an added meaning” in paragraph 3 refer to? A.Pleasure from working in the library. B.Joy of reading passed on in the family. C.Wonderment from acting out the stories. D.A closer bond developed with the readers. 【3】What does the author call on other writers to do? A.Sponsor book fairs. B.Write for social media. C.Support libraries. D.Purchase her novels. 【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text? A.Reading: A Source of Knowledge B.My Idea about writing C.Library: A Haven for the Young D.My Love of the Library |

Will human beings find intelligent alien (外星的) life anytime soon? Probably not, according to theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking. Hawking made the prediction during the Breakthrough Starshot announcement in New York City on April 12. At the news conference, Hawking, along with Russian billionaire sponsor Yuri Milner and a group of scientists, detailed a new project that aims to send a large number of tiny, wafer-size (薄饼大小的) spaceships into space to the neighboring star system Alpha Centauri (半人马座阿尔法星). If these tiny spaceships travel at 20 percent of the speed of light, they'll be able to reach Alpha Centauri in just 20 years, Milner said. Once there, the spacecraft will be able to do a 1-hour flyby of Alpha Centauri and collect data that's impossible to gather from Earth, such as taking close-up photos of the star system, studying space dust molecules (分子) and measuring magnetic fields (磁场), said Avi Loeb, chairman of the Breakthrough Starshot Advisory Committee and a professor of science at Harvard University. In addition to learning about space technology, the audience wanted to hear about aliens--specifically, when scientists might find them. Hawking took questions from reporters in advance so that he would have time to prepare his answers. Hawking has famously predicted that intelligent aliens might threaten humankind. Indeed, when asked about what Earthlings should do if we came across intelligent alien life, he said, “We should hope that they don' t find us.” Other researchers at the conference offered a more optimistic view of alien life. 【1】What are the wafer-size spaceships mainly designed for? A.Looking for aliens. B.Doing a 1-hour flyby. C.Landing on Alpha Centauri. D.Collecting data about Alpha Centauri. 【2】Stephen Hawking might agree that________. A.pretty soon human beings will find alien life B.we may find alien life a danger to human beings C.Alpha Centauri is suitable for human immigration (移民) D.scientists should be sent into space to collect data 【3】The underlined word “Earthlings” in Paragraph 6 probably means________. A.sponsors B.reporters C.human beings D.scientists 【4】The next part of the passage will probably deal with________. A.analysis of the data collected B.other questions from reporters C.possible ways to defend us against aliens D.other scientist’ opinions on alien life |
