Science can provide an exciting way to develop children's curiosity．Science education should teach ways to ask questions and seek answers．But my children got the mistaken idea in school that science is difficult，dull and has no relation to their everyday interests．
As a physicist，I am saddened and angered to see"the great science turnoff"．I know that science is important in our lives．Yet studies prove that our schools are turning out millions of graduates who know almost nothing about and have almost no interest in science．What's gone wrong？Who is to blame？

Get Enough Sleep

Visualize（想象）Success
A proven way to build your confidence is to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully．Visualization can not only help you perform better in the tests but can help you remember facts．You can create detailed situations that involve the information you're trying to remember．（19）D

Recently haze pollution has happened in many cities of China．It's one of the most dangerous weather conditions．Many accidents have occurred due to low visibility caused by haze．What's worse，it also affects our health．if breathing in haze，people may feel uncomfortable and get ill．（高分句型一）
The reason for haze is air pollution．It results from waste gases released from cars，factories or construction sties．In view of the above，we need to protect ourselves from haze pollution．First of all，in case of haze pollution，we shouldn't open the windows or take exercise before the sun rises and after sunset．（高分句型二）Besides，we'd better wear masks when we go outside．What's more，we should eat more fruit，from which we can get enough vitamins to build up the resistance to disease．（高分句型三）．
9．Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year，but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US，the government politely said no．
"We don't know whether the food is safe，"said Zambia's commerce，Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel．
    His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America's genetically modified（GM，转基因的）crops．Just last week，EU（欧盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．
    Ever since people started farming，they have tried to crossbreed（杂交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting．At one time，only related plants could be crossed with each other．
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s，scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature．
    This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics，such as"golden rice"，which is enriched with vitamin A．But many people believe GM foods are a health risk．
    At the moment，the official argument is that GM foods"are not likely to present risks for human health"．But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways．
    Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies．Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．
    People in China are also getting worried about GM foods．More than 70 percent of the
country's soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans．Meanwhile，an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products．The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them．
26．Why has Zambia refused the American free maizeC
A．they decide to follow EU member's advice
B．they care little about the problem of starvation
C．they are concerned about the safety of GM foods
D．they are too proud to accept free offer
27．It has been proved thatA．
A．GM techniques can increase the production of crops
B．GM food is no better than naturally produced foods
C．only related plans could be crossed with each other
D．GM foods are harmful to people's health
28．Which of the following statement is TRUEB
A．GM foods are a health risk．
B．Some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from GM foods．
C．China's government hasn't taken any action about GM foods．
D．Only Zambia worries about the safety of GM foods．
29．What's the author's attitude towards GM foodsD
A．Supportive．B．Critical．C．Doubtful．D．Neutral．
