7.Norman E Borlaug,95,an American plant pathologist who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970for starting the"Green Revolution"that increased food production in developing nations and saved millions of people from starvation,died on Saturday September 12,2009at his home in Dallas.
"He has helped provide bread for a hungry world,"the Nobel committee said in honor of him."Dr Borlaug has introduced a dynamic factor(动态因素)into our assessment of the future of food and its potential."
Dr Borlaug was hardly known in the country of his birth,the USA.But in India,Mexico,Russia and other nations with hunger and famine(饥荒),he was known as one of the great Americans of modem times.Edwin Price,director of the Norman Borlaug Institute for International Agriculture at Texas A&M University,once accompanied Dr Borlaug to Russia,where he visited a wheat research institute south of Moscow."When Norman came in,"Price said,"the scientists at the institute all cried."
From the 1970s until his death,he increasingly took the politically incorrect view that environmentalists were bothering world food production by attacking the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides (农药).
Dr Borlaug's career included his ability of science to increase food production at a high rate and the nightmare(噩梦)of an exploding population beyond its ability to feed itself.His work took him from the Iowa farm where he grew up to the primitively planted wheat fields of Mexico in the 1940s,the rice fields of Asia in the 1960s and 1970s to the plains of Africa in the 1980s.
In his lecture accepting the Nobel Prize,he said an enough supply of food is"the first term of social justice…Otherwise there will be no peace."He warned that the world would have too many mouths to feed.

A.In 1914           B.In 1960              C.In 1970              D.In 2009

2.Yesterday,my wife and I took our two kids to a concert by a famous band.It was the second time we had taken them to a concert.
The theme of the concert was"Around the world".This part was especially for children and it was called"Family Fun Day".I was surprised to see that the concert hall was full and happy to know that many parents were providing healthy activities for their children.
The concert lasted for an hour and it performed music from all over the world-from Ireland to Scotland,from England to Thailand,and from Africa to the United States.Though it was a short concert by adults'standard,my son was seen moving about in his seat.Maybe he was too young to appreciate"fine music".
After the concert,my wife asked my two kids if they wanted to come again for another round of concert,the replies were mixed.My daughter said she would like to go again,but my son's reply was no.As for me,I loved it.There were some touching moments in that concert and I was so touched by the beauty and inspiring music that was performed by the band.
We should go to concerts more often.If you are a subscriber(订购者),you can enjoy discounted(折扣) prices for your tickets.Our friend,CC,managed to"network"with her friend's friend,who is a subscriber,to get tickets for us at 25.50dollars each.The original price was 30dollars per person.We saved 18dollars.

12.Once upon a time,a man punished his 5-year-old daughter for using up the family's only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper.Money was tight,and he became even more upset when he saw that the child had pasted(粘贴)the gold paper so as to decorate a shoebox to put under the Christmas tree.
Nevertheless,the next morning the little girl,filled with excitement,brought the gift box to her father and said,"This is for you,Daddy!"
Seeing the box,the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction.But when he opened it,he found it was empty and again his anger burst out."Don't you know,young lady,"he shouted,"when you give someone a present,there's supposed to be something inside the package?"
The little girl looked up at him with tears rolling from her eyes and said:"Daddy,it's not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was all full."
The father broke down.He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl.He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.
Only a short time later,an accident took the life of the child.It is told that the father kept that little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life.Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems he would open the box,take out an imaginary kiss,and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there.
In a real sense,each of us has been given a"gold box"filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children,family,friends and God.There is no more precious possession anyone could hold.

After the war,he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside,working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood.This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.
