　　BALTIMORE－When 15-year-old Michael Thomas left home for school last May, he couldn’t have been prouder．On his feet, thanks to his mother’s hard work, were a pair of new Air Jordans－＄100 worth of leather, rubber and status(身份)that to today’s youth are the Mercedes-Benz of athletic footwear．The next day it was James David Martin, 17，who was walking down the street in Thomas’ new sneakers, while Thomas lay dead in a field not far from his school．

　　Martin was arrested(逮捕)for murder．

　　For the Baltimore school system, Thomas’ death was the last straw．He was the third youngster to have been killed over his clothes in five years．Dozens of others had been robbed of brand-new sneakers, fashionable jogging suits, leather jackets and jewelry．

　　This fall, the school board announced a dress code preventing leather shirts and jackets, jogging suits, gold chains and other expensive items．Joseph Smith, Board President, said, “Clothes have just gotten out of control”．Across the nation, parents, school officials, psychologists and even some children agree．They say that today’s youngsters, throughout the nation, have become clothes concerned(关心)．They worry about them, compete over them, pay no attention to school for them and sometimes even rob and kill for them．

　　In many cases, students are so concerned about what they and their classmates are wearing, they forget what they come to school for, educators said．In response, many public schools, mainly in eastern cities, have used school uniforms to cut down on competition．Educators say, in the present fashion climate, dressing students alike allows them more freedom to be normal individuals．

I have been very lucky to have won the Nobel Prize twice. It is, of course, very exciting to have such an important recognition of my work, but the real pleasure was in the work itself. Scientific research is like an exploration of a voyage of discovery. You are continually trying out new things that have not been done before. Many of them will lead nowhere and you have to try something different, but sometimes an experiment does work and tells you something new and that is really exciting. However small the new finding may be, it is great to think “ I am the only person who knows this” and then you will have the fun of thinking what this finding will lead to and deciding what will be the next experiment. One of the best things about scientific research is that you are always doing something different and it is never boring. There are good times when things go well and bad times when they don’t. Some people get discouraged at the difficult times but when I have a failure, my policy has always been not to worry but to start planning the next experiment, which is always fun.

   It is very exciting to make a new discovery. Some people will do the strangest things for this excitement, such as going round the world in a balloon or walking to the North Pole. There are not many new places to explore but there is a lot of new information to be discovered in science and a journey into this unknown area can be much more worthwhile and just as exciting.

   I am sometimes asked, “What do you have to do to win a Nobel Prize?” My answer is: “I don’t know. I have never tried.” But I know of one way not to win one. There are some people whose main reason for doing science is to win prizes and they are always thinking about how to do it. Such people don’t succeed. To do good science you must be interested in it and enjoy doing experiments and thinking out problems. And, of course, you must be prepared to work hard and not to be too discouraged by failure.

A. to win the Nobel Prize for the first time

B. to be awarded the Nobel Prize for the second time.

C. in the work itself

D. to have a much more important recognition of his work.

2.Why did the writer think scientific research to be one of the best things?

A. You will be able to win the Nobel Prize through the scientific research

B. You can make as much money as possible by doing the scientific research.

C. You may continue doing with something different and exciting, so you can never be tired of doing the scientific research.

D. You can get much more chances of promotion by making the scientific research.

3.What would the writer do when he had a failure?

A. He would forget this failure and start the next experiment.

B. He used to be worried about it for several days and never forget it.

C. He always gave up his study as the result of the failure.

D. He used to think out the reasons and then continue to do it again.

4.Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. The writer could still keep calm when he heard the news that he had won the Nobel Prize.

B. The writer always gave up his courage when he met with some difficulties in the course of his scientific research.

C. In the field of science there are still many new things which need to be studied further.

D. There are still many exciting places to explore in the world.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start, they only __41__ with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead! Of course he isn’t __42__ dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from __43__ moving trains, who crash cars of even __44__ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called __45__. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not __46__ on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with mattress(床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and __47__. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get __48__ injured and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute(降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a __49 __ for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls, too.
