Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps(²ÐÖ«)that could he fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ¡®Ape Man¡¯ (Ô³ÈË) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.

Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheel chair.

Hank felt himself getting cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (¼ÙÍÈ). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror, for the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be-a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.

Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.

Buckingham Palace is where the Queen lives. It is the Queen¡¯s official and main royal London home.Buckingham Palace was originally a splendid house built by the Duke(¹«¾ô) of Buckingham for his wife. George IV began changing it into a palace in 1826. It has been the official London home of Britain¡¯s royal family since 1837. Buckingham Palace is also an office and used for the administrative work of the royal family.

When the Queen is at home you can see her royal flag (the Royal Standard) flying from the flag pole on top of Buckingham Palace.

The flag is divided into four equal parts. The first and fourth parts represent England and contain three gold lions waking on a red field; the second part represents Scotland and contains a red lion standing on a gold field; the third part represents Ireland and contains the gold coat of arms of Ireland on a blue field.

In flag protocol (ÀñÒÇ), the Royal Standard which must only be flown from buildings where the Queen is present is supreme (ÖÁ¸ßÎÞÉϵÄ). It flies above the British Union Flag (the Union Jack ), and other British flags. It never flies at half mast.

The guards of the Palace wear red jackets and tall, furry hats. When the first guards come on duty, there is a ceremony called the Changing of the Guard. A familiar sight at Buckingham Palace is the Changing of the Guard ceremony that takes place in the open space in front of it each morning.

The Palace has around 750 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 royal and guest bedrooms, 78 bathrooms, 92 offices, a cinema and a swimming pool. It also has its own post office and police station.

Researchers at the University of Kansas say that people can accurately judge 90 percent of a stranger¡¯s personality simply by looking at the person¡¯s shoes.

¡°Shoes convey a thin but useful piece of information about their wearers,¡± the authors wrote in the new study published in the Journal of Research in Personality. ¡°Shoes serve a practical purpose, and also serve as nonverbal(·ÇÓïÑÔµÄ) indications with symbolic messages. People tend to pay attention to the shoes they and others wear.¡±

Medical Daily notes that the details detected in the study include a person¡¯s general age, sex, income, political affiliation(Åɱð), and other personality characteristics, including someone¡¯s emotional stability.

Lead researcher Omri Gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color, and condition of someone¡¯s shoes. In the study, 63 University of Kansas students looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the study¡¯s participants. Volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.

So, some of the results were expected: People with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier footwear was typically worn by extroverts(ÍâÏòÕß).

However, some of the more specific results are interesting. For example, ¡°practical and functional¡± shoes were generally worn by more ¡°agreeable¡± people, while ankle boots went more closely with ¡°aggressive¡± personalities.

The strangers of all may be that those who wore ¡°uncomfortable looking¡± shoes tend to have ¡°calm¡± personalities.

And if you have several pairs of new shoes or take exceptional care of them, you may suffer from ¡°attachment anxiety¡±, spending a large amount of time worrying about what other people think of your appearance.

There was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing ¡°shabbier and less expensive¡± shoes.

The researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personality characteristics, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing deep awareness into their personalities.

1.According to Omri Gillath, a stranger¡¯s personality can be judged by ___.

A. he age and sex of the person

A. gentle B. weak C. generous D. considerate

4. Which might be the best title for the passage?

A. Good Shoes, Good Character

B. Bad Shoes, Bad Personality

C. Shoes and Their Wearers¡¯ Personality

D. Shoes Shape A Person¡¯s Character

If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you don't need to feel surprised£®They are a flash mob £¨¿ìÉÁ×壩, which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break up£®They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network£®At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions£¨ÏûDz£© such as waving their hands and exchanging books, Then, they quickly break up before the police can arrive£®Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason£®

I know that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work---your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a reality TV star . 1.

The truth is, being successful is hard. You won¡¯t love every subject that you study. 2. Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won¡¯t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.

That¡¯s okay. 3. JK Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, ¡°I have failed over and over again in my life. And that¡¯s why I succeed.

These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can¡¯t let your failures define you. 4. You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn¡¯t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. 5.

A. If you get a bad grade, that doesn¡¯t mean you¡¯re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.

B. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.

C. You have to let your failures teach you.

D. You won¡¯t get along well with every teacher that you have.

E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.

F. Failures can lead you to success.

G. Chances are you¡¯re not going to be any of those things.

For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.

¡°A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?¡± asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.

These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.

Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant advances took place in 1999£¬when a research group at North Carolina¡¯s Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs Ò» from kidneys to ears.

The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient¡¯s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the tissues are grown from a patient¡¯s own cells and will not be rejected by the body¡¯s immune system.

Today, several labs are working to create bioartificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bioartificial rat heart. Dr. Atala¡¯s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (a birth defect that involves the incomplete development of the spinal cord). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.

So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals¡¯ chances of survival.

1. In the latest field of regenerative medicine, what are replacement parts made of?

A. Donated cells, tissues and organs.

B. Rejected cells, tissues and organs.

C. Cells, tissues and organs of one¡¯s own.

D. Cells, tissues and organs made of steel.

2. What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bioartificial kidney?

A. Patients. B. Rats. C. Sheep. D. Soldiers.

3.Why is generative medicine considered innovative?

A. It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.

B. It will strengthen the human body¡¯s immune system.

C. It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.

D. It will make patients live longer with bioartificial organs.

4. What is the writer¡¯s attitude towards regenerative medicine?

A. Positive. B. Negative.

C. Doubtful. D. Reserved.
