2．What would it be like to take a walk on the surface of Mars？If you could design the tallest building in the world，what would it look like？Do you dream of being the next J．K．Rowling？This summer，you can experience all of these things，and more．All you need is an Internet connection and your imagination．
   A recent study by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that kids spend an average of 1 hour and 29 minutes online each day．Many kids like to use that time to chat with friends，play games or check e-mail．But next time you get on the Web，try exploring the world instead．"With the Internet，you can go back 11，000 years in time，or go 11，000 kilometers across the planet，"said Russell，Web search expert of Google．"The whole scope of history and the world is open to you．"
   There is a wealth of information to be found online．For example，if your family is going on vacation somewhere，do a quick online search on the area before you even get in the car．"What's the background of the place； what's the history？"says Russell．"I like to tell my kids，‘Whenever you have a question，whenever you have a doubt，search it out．'"
   Ready to launch a virtual（虚拟的） journey of your own？Here are a few starting points to get you thinking and to help you on your way．You can invite your parents along for the ride，too．Always ask for permission before downloading programs and software into your computer．And，check with a parent or adult before visiting any new Web site．
   Navigate the world in 3-D with Google Earth．Begin in outer space and zoom into the streets of any city，from Hong Kong to San Francisco．Or，visit ancient monuments and watch the changing rainforests over time．With the moon in Google Earth tool，you can walk in Neil Armstrong's famous footsteps．Take a guided tour of the moon's surface with Armstrong's fellow shuttle mate astronaut Buzz Aldrin．
56．According to Russell，the kidsC
A．spend too much time on the Internet

12．Disability doesn't mean inability．Although he has been blind since birth，18-year-old Joseph Chadbourne never feels different from his 90classmates at Akron's Firestone High School in Ohio，US．
Chadbourne walks with a cane （拐杖），and he is often arm-in-arm with a classmate who is happy to help him down the hallway or on the stairs．His textbooks and exams are in Braille（盲文），and he types his assignments and notes on a BrailleNote，a small computer hooked up to a printer．Because of his disability，he's permitted extra time on exams，but Chadbourne says he doesn't need it，as he completes his tests in the same amount of time as other students．
Teachers at Firestone have been impressed by Chadbourne，whom they say hasn't let his disability stop him from doing anything he wants to do．He's one of the top students in his class and he was on the swim team．
"He doesn't take，‘You can't do this，'for an answer，"Chadbourne's history teacher，Jill Regenos，told Akron Beacon Journal．
Chadbourne joined the swim team in his sophomore （高中二年级）year．His coach used a broom handle to poke （戳）him while in the water．This would give him the signal that he needed to flip （翻身）．
"It takes a month or so to get good timing，"Chadbourne said of the flips．"They tap and I immediately go into a turn．"
Chadbourne has even done his part to give back．He has taken part in an annual swim team fundraiser （募捐活动）to raise money for Akron Children's Hospital，swimming more than 10consecutive （连续的）hours this year，with only 10-minute breaks each hour．He also has tutored a younger blind student in Braille and reading fluency．
Chadbourne has this advice for other students with disabilities："Just don't let it stop you．If you put your mind to it，you can do anything．"

13．Most schools in America do not have the latest equipment in laboratories．It is just too costly．But the eastern state of Maryland and8 non-profit group found a way to make such equipment available during the school year．They put it on a bus!
    The 13-meter-long Maryland BioLab is a mobile classroom filled with equipment that lets students explore many kinds of science．It travels around the state visiting schools．It has everything from biology to forensic science（法医学）．The mobile lab has been bringing bioscience education to schools around Maryland for more than 10 years，
"It is really nice to get the students in here with hands-on activities．They get really excited and want to be engaged．"said Ms．Mangus，who is in charge of the program．She said that many students finished their experiments and left the bus excited about the possibility of becoming a scientist．
    At the end of each class，Ms．Mangus talked to the students about how she became a scientist．"If we have enough time，we like to take five，ten minutes and talk about us，ourselves．I tell them how I got into science，maybe where I went to school，what I did，and the different kinds of things we could do．"
    Brian Gaines，the chief executive officer of the foundation supporting the BioLab program，said the organization's goal was to help create the next generation of scientists．"We use this program to talk about careers in science-not only science，but science，technology，engineering and math．Students on the bus get real-life experience they do not get in a classroom．"

17．Back in the 1860s，a British scientist named Henry Walter Bates noticed something interesting in the animal world：some harmless animals change the color or patterns of their skin to pretend to be deadly．For example，a kind of butterfly，Common Mormon，can change the pattern on its wings so that it looks like another butterfly species，the Common Rose，which is poisonous for birds to eat．
    Bates argued that animals develop this ability to protect themselves from being eaten．This theory had been widely accepted by scientists．But one question remains：how do these animals manage to do that？
    After more than 150 years，scientists are finally able to answer that question-it is all down to a gene called"doublesex"，according to a study published on March 6 in the journal Nature．
    In fact，scientists have long known that genes are responsible for this useful ability．Just like your hair color and the shape of your eyes are determined by your genes，the patterns on a butterfly's wings can be explained similarly．But until the new study，scientists hadn't been able to find out which genes in particular were responsible．
    Encouraged by the development of new technologies for studying genes，scientists at the University of Chicago，US decided to give it another try．They compared the genetic structure of the Common Mormons that changed their wing patterns with those of ones that did not．And all the results pointed to a single gene，"doublesex"．
This was much to the scientists'surprise．They used to expect that something as complex as this would be controlled by many different genes．For example，one gene would control the color of the upper part of the wing，one would do so for the lower part and one would control wing shape．
    However，the"doublesex"gene doesn't quite do everything by itself．Instead，it acts like a switch-it"tells"other genes to change the wing patterns．Isn't that clever？
    Scientists believe that this special ability of the"doublesex"gene was developed throughout the long history of evolution．"The harmless species gains an advantage by resembling something predators （捕食动物） avoid，"Sean Carroll，a scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison，US told Nature．"It was obvious evidence for natural selection．"
63．What was newly discovered by scientists at the University of Chicago？D
A．Some animals can change their skin color．
B．Some butterflies can disguise themselves as other species．
C．Genes are responsible for the change in animals'skins．
D．Common Mormons change their skin patterns due to a certain gene．
64．What surprised scientists in the study？C
A．So many genes are involved in the change of patterns．
B．The genetic structure of the butterflies is so complex．
C．A single gene determines the change of patterns．
D．The gene"doublesex"singlehandedly changes the wing patterns．
65．Which of the following is the best title？B
A．A new discovery                  
B．How butterflies stay safe
C．A gene called"doublesex"
D．Natural selection．
7．On countless mornings over the past year，I stood with my son，James，in our driveway，watching our neighbor hurry off to kindergarten．My wife and I wanted to give James the best  education，but that meant we'd have to change our jobs and spend less time with our kid．I asked myself，"Would this trade-off be worth it？"When I look at the research on child development，I think it might not．Where our kids go to school might matter less than most American parents think．
    Social scientists have long tried to determine why some children grow up to be successful．In a 2001 study，Greg Duncan，a professor of education at the University of California，measured the influence that the people in a child's life have on how well the child does in school．Duncan and his team found almost no relationship between how students did on the test and whom they sat beside in class，whom they hung out with after school and who lived in their block．The only meaningful link they found was between siblings （兄弟姐妹） and twins in particular．
     For a long time，scholars thought that a family's income heavily affected how well kids did   in life．But that might not be the case．When Susan Mayer at the University of Chicago looked at the relationship between family income and lifetime achievement，she ran a series of experiments to measure it，finding such outcomes weren't caused by income．She argued that the things that make a difference are relatively inexpensive：the number of books a kid has or how often his family goes to museums．
    Lareau，another scholar began one of the most in-depth observations of American parenting．He concluded that success is much more related to the amount of time parents spend with their children．He said"Many parents I interviewed are anxious about their children's futures．But they have exaggerated（夸大） the sense of the risks involved if they don't give their children'the best'of everything．"
    So at last，we decided to leave things as it were．More time with our kid is the best we can provide．
