¡°Growing up, Einstein saw his father struggle to support the family and move the family for different jobs, Einstein had to move between schools and it was challenging for him to catch up with his new class.¡±

This story about the struggles(f +)of famous scientists can't be found in your science textbook, but a new study suggested maybe it should be.

In the study, 402 9th- and 10th-grade students from four New York City high schools in low-income areas were divided into three groups. The students read some 800-word stories about Albert Einstein and Marie Curie. The control group read a regular science textbook description about their great achievements. Another group read about the scientists' personal struggles, like Einstein's running away from Nazi Germany. The third group read about the scientists' intellectual struggles, as they tried different experiments--- and failed.

As it turned out. the students who had read about scientists' struggles, whether personal or intellectual, had higher grades than students who had read about achievements. Those who weren¡¯t getting good grades to begin with gained the most. Those in the control group not only didn't see a grade increase, they had lower grades than the grading before the study began.

¡°We think that struggle stories showed scientists' weaknesses.¡± the researchers write, ¡°which creates a sense of connection between the students and scientists. And that may make it easier for students to see them as role models.¡±

¡°When kids think Einstein is a talent who is untouchable, then they believe they will never get there, "said lead researcher Xiaodong Lin-Siegler, PhD.

If we want to educate a future generation of great scientists, we can start by changing the way we talk about the great scientists of the past. An 800-word story about scientists¡¯ failures, not just their achievements, in science textbooks will make it happen.

1.What does the article mainly talk about?

A. Learning about struggles of scientists may help students succeed in science.

B. Reading stories of scientists' achievements will help educate future scientists.

C. Science textbooks should describe scientists failures instead of their achievements.

D. Stories of scientists' struggles may make students see scientists as being untouchable.

2.From Paragraph 4, we can know that .

A. those good at science achieved most from this exercise

B. the control group had lower grades than the other two groups

C. the students' grades in the control group remained the same

D. the students in the third group had the highest grades

3.What's the main idea for Paragraphs 5 and 6?

A. Findings of the study

B. Explanations from the researchers

C. Process of the stud

D. Suggestions from the researchers

4.In the study, which of the following would the third group probably read?

A. Einstein won many awards in his life, including the 1921 Nobel Prize in physics.

B. Going to college was hard for Curie because at that time women were not allowed to attend school. So, Curie had to study at secret classes.

C. By the time she reached college, Curie was able to understand five languages that top scientists spoke at that time.

D. Often working hour after hour and day after day. Curie devoted herself to solving challenging problems and learning from her mistakes.

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child¡¯s development. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry ¨Cher new class teacher. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can¡¯t wait to see how things are going on.

Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and worries.

This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It¡¯s hard not to like her. Here are the changes in my daughter.

She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.

She¡¯s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.

She¡¯s responsible. She used to be careless and forgetful. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.

Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child¡¯s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid¡¯s textbook in the toilet. Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything. She¡¯s always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher¡¯s chair and desk.

She does well in school. Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.

1. What is the big worry of Tasha¡¯s father every year?

A. Who will be Tasha¡¯s class teacher. B. Which class Tasha will be in.

C. How Tasha goes to school in the morning. D. What Miss Purity looks like.

2.What did Tasha do when she didn¡¯t like her class teacher?

A. She had a fight with her mother in the morning. B. She didn¡¯t want to go to school.

C. She missed a lot of classes. D. She refused to do classwork and homework.

3.What does ¡°early bird¡± mean in the passage?

A. It is a lovely little child. B. It is the most beautiful bird.

C. It is someone who lives alone. D. It is someone who gets up early.

4.Which of the following is not true about Tasha¡¯s past?

A. She couldn¡¯t finish her classwork at school. B. She often forgot things at school.

C. She didn¡¯t get on well with her classmates. D. She was careless and silent.

5.What is not mentioned about the changes in Tasha.

A. The progress with Miss Purity B. Her hobbies

C. Her habit of living D. Her behaviors at school.

Have you ever heard of £¢a ball of energy£¢? People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(±ãЯʽ·¢µç»ú).

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.

There are mechanisms(×°ÖÃ) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.

Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.

For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(µç) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(´¢²Ø) up to 24 hours¡¯ electricity.

The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.

Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.

There¡¯s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don¡¯t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(úÓÍ) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.

Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(½â¾ö·½·¨) to a big problem.

Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offers people a chance to put their energy into the world¡¯s most popular sport and get some energy in return.
