The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie (圣母玛丽亚) for  36 , but she was far  37  the reach of the human voice. At one o’clock in the morning, the water was getting  38 , and a strong  39  had begun to blow. Suddenly  40  were seen in the distance; another ship! The shouts of the swimmers were heard on board, and willing hands pulled them out of the water. The  41  of the ship that had so  42   arrived on the scene in time to save their lives was Ellen. What had brought her to the exact spot through the  43  and the pathless sea? Her captain had known  44  about the wreck (沉船) and had indeed attempted to sail away from it. But let him speak for himself.
“I was forced by the wind,” he said long afterwards, “to  45  my course (航道). Just as I did it, a small  46  flew across the ship once or twice and then  47  at my face. I took  48  of this until exactly the same thing happened at a   49  time, which caused me to think it rather  50 , while I was thus  51  it, the same bird for the third time, made its appearance and flew  52  in the same way as before. I was then  53  to change my course back to the original (原来的) one. I had not gone far  54  I heard strange noises; and when I tried to   55  where they came from, I found I was in the middle of people who had been shipwrecked (船只失事). I immediately did my best to save them.”

Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It’s not because fish are endangered, though wild fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It’s not because they’re bad for you, though fish in many areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It’s because they’re smart.
“Fish are sensitive, they have personalities,” says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating a fish would be like eating a dog or a cat. “I would never eat anyone I know personally.”
There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to be touched, and they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember things and learn from experience. Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these as strong arguments against eating fish altogether.
The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to the supermarket. “While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, like every other animal, some people think of fish as swimming vegetables,” says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. “Really, it’s kind of a moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (or eating fish) more important than the pain of the fish?”
Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful. “I’ve never seen a smart fish,” says Marie Swaringen as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. “If they were very smart, they wouldn’t get caught.”
“For years, everyone’s been telling us to eat fish because it’s so good for us,” says another diner. “Now I’ve got to feel guilty while I’m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don’t eat salad because cucumbers have feelings?”
【小题1】 Dr. Sylvia Earle discourage people from eating fish because _____________.

A．there are not that many wild fish in the ocean
B．fish actually are sensitive and have personalities
C．some ocean fish contain poisonous substances
D．fish are like dogs or cats that people know personally
【小题2】We can infer from the passage that _____________.
A．all people don’t agree with the idea to stop eating fish
B．people will be persuaded not to eat fish in the future
C．stopping eating fish will lead to people’s not eating vegetables
D．we shouldn’t care too much about the feeling of fish
【小题3】 By saying “There’s a lot more to fish than meets the eye,” the writer means ____________.
A．there are far more fish than other animals in the world
B．there are more fish in the world than people can see
C．people can see more fish if they pay more attention
D．fish are not that simple as they appear to people’s eyes

Last summer I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer (扫盲志愿者). The training I received, though excellent, didn't tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people’s lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three children. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she couldn't read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie’s self-confidence. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarket. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son, Tony, a shy first grader, with his reading. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

Most people know that Marie Curie was the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, and the first person to win it twice. However, few people know that she was also the mother of a Nobel Prize winner.

Born in September, 1987, Irene Curie was the first of the Curies’ two daughters. Along with nine other children whose parents were also famous scholars, Irene studied in their own school, and her mother was one of the teachers. She finished her high school education at the College of Sévigné in Paris.

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914 to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics. When World War I began, Irene went to help her mother, who was using X-ray facilities to help save the lives of wounded soldiers. Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum. Her services were recognized in the form of a Military’s Medal by the French government.

   Like her mother, Irene combined family and career. Like her mother, Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize, along with her husband, in 1935. Unfortunately, also like her mother, she developed leukemia  because of her work with radioactivity, Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17, 1956.
