Robert Ballard is probably the most famous deep-sea explorer in the past 100 years. While he is best known for his historic discovery of the wreckage(残骸) of the R.M.S. Titanic which sank to the bottom of the sea in 1912, he also discovered the wreckage of the Bismarck and the Yorktown. Over his career, Dr. Ballard has completed over 120 deep-sea journeys and continues to push exploration to new depths with new technologies and strategies. His new high-tech Inner Space Center at the University of Rhode Island links scientists all over the world and makes it possible to identify new discoveries in realtime.

Reporter: What were you like as a kid?

Ballard: I was a very “active” kid with lots of interests including sports (football, basketball, and tennis), fishing, and studies.

That summer, I went to sea on two separate expeditions in Baja California with various oceanographers(海洋学家). During one of those expeditions, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a Scripps graduate with a Ph. D. in marine geology, who invited me to come to the University of California, Santa Barbara where I ended up getting my undergraduate degree in Geology and Chemistry with minors in Math and Physics.

Reporter: What’s the best piece of advice that anyone has ever given you that you can share with us?

My 10-year-old nephew is timid. I was delighted when his mother, my sister, asked me to take him to the circus(马戏团). ＂Buy one bag of popcorn,＂ she ordered.

＂Is there anything we should avoid?＂

＂Yes, but you can’t avoid it. It’s the elephants’ parade around the ring.＂

David has read that the circus elephants are the most unhappy creatures in the universe. They’d rather be torn open by a lion than made fool of themselves before a crowd. So, when they started their act, David began to cry, ＂Those big, big tears …＂

So, eyes still dry, sharing popcorn, we watched simian(猴的) cast rush into the ring to a burst of cheers. Then we watched the individual acts — the monkey from the Bolshoi, the famous clown who climbed the tallest pole, hanging on by a finger and a knee. He raised laughter from the audience of children. If the clown slipped, the net would catch him, although no net can be trusted. It’s easy to fall wrong, and if so you can break your silly neck. I would keep that information from David, I promised my schoolteacher. I was the cool adult here.

At last elephants came and did their parade, each wearing a hat. My arm slipped around my beloved nephew.

＂Aunt Ella, they are so unhappy.＂

＂I believe they are. But some day this act will be outlawed.＂

＂Really?＂

＂Yes. The elephants will be returned to the grasslands in Africa and spend the rest of their lives eating green stuff, never having to grab a tail.＂ I put my arms around him and whispered in his ear, ＂I love you.＂

He did not sob(呜咽) but nestled closer to me.

The elephants were the last act of the first half of the show, and enduring their performance earned us another box of popcorn.

This is not a diet. It is a simple way to lose weight. You do not have to give up the food you love or join a gym. You just follow some habits thin people have. Keep them, and you’ll become thin.

Wake-up.

When you wake up in the morning, sit up slowly without using your hands with legs straight out, lean forward until you feel sore in your back. It will use up 10 calories.

1..

Order a clear soup, and have it before the main food. In this way, you will feel fuller and you’ll eat less when the main food comes.

2..

Apples are full of fiber and water, so your stomach will want less. Studies show that people who eat at least three apples or pears a day may lose weight.

3..

Every time you use the cell phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more a day than thin people. This skill is very important as standing up and walking around will burn up 50 or more calories.

Use these skills, and you will have a big weight loss.

A. How to lose weight

B. Eat an apple or more a day

C. Talk it up

D. Start with soup

Proper diet and regular exercise seem to be the only methods for losing weight.However,the importance of water should be added in the process.While medical science has proven the positive effects of water,most people still do not drink enough each day.

The reason why water is so important for weight loss has something to do with metabolism（新陈代谢）of fat. The liver（肝脏）is in charge of this process when it comes to turning stored fat in-to energy.However,the liver is also responsible for helping the kidneys（肾脏）that need enough water in order to function properly.The liver has to perform all the functions of the kidneys on its own when they are short of water.This means the liver doesn't have enough energy to metabolize fat.So,drinking water allows the kidneys to focus on their job and the liver to focus on its job.

Also,studies have shown that water can make us feel full when drunk before meals.Without even making an effort,most people who drink a glass of water before a meal will eat 33% less.This is due in part to the fact that they simply get fuller quicker because the water is taking up space.The other reason is that the food will expand as soon as it hits the water-filled stomach.

Water is important for every aspect of the health of the human body.By drinking more water and improving the health of the body,weight loss goals can be achieved with greater ease.

1.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage as a way to lose weight?

A. Regular exercise. B. Drinking water. C. Balanced diet. D. Medical care.

2.The liver has to take over the job of the kidneys when .

A. the kidneys are lacking in water B. there is something wrong with the kidneys

C. the liver doesn't supply energy for the kidneys D. there is no fat for the liver to metabolize

3.Why can we lose weight by drinking water before meals?

A. Because we don't feel thirsty any longer. B. Because we eat much less than normal.

C. Because the water takes up too much space. D. Because the food becomes larger and larger.

4.Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Liver Is Important to the Kidneys. B. How the Digestive System Works.

C. Water for a Healthy Life and Losing Weight. D. Several Tips for Losing Weight.

One of my first memories as a child in the 1950s was a discussion I had with my brother in our tiny bedroom in the family house in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

We had heard in school about a planet called Pluto. It was the farthest, coldest, and darkest thing a child could imagine. We guessed how long it would take to die if we stood on the surface of such a frozen place wearing only the clothes we had on. We tried to figure out how much colder Pluto was than Antarctica, or than the coldest day we had ever experienced in Pennsylvania.

Pluto, which famously was downgraded from a “major planet” to a “dwarf planet”(矮星) in 2006, captured our imagination because it was a mystery that could complete our picture of what it was like at the most remote corners of our solar system

Pluto’s underdog discovery story is part of what makes it so attractive. Clyde Tombaugh was a Kansas farm boy who built telescopes out of spare auto parts, old farm equipment and self-ground lenses. As an assistant at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona, Tombaugh’s task was to search millions of stars for a moving point of light, a planet that the observatory’s founder thought existed beyond the orbit of Neptune. On February 18, 1930, Tombaugh found it. Pluto was the first planet discovered by an American, and represented a moment of light in the midst of the Great Depression’s dark encroachment(入侵).

Pluto is much more than something that is not a planet. It’s a reminder that there are many worlds out there beyond our own and that the sky isn’t the limit at all. We don’t know what kinds of fantastic variations on a theme nature is capable of making until we get there to look.

1.Why did Pluto become famous in 2006 according to the passage?

A. Because it lost its major planet status

B. Because it disappeared in the sky

C. Because it was discovered by an American

D. Because it was proved to be the coldest planet in the universe

2.What can be a suitable title for the text?

A. An American Scientist: Clyde Tombaugh

B. Pluto was First Discovered by a Boy

C. Pluto’s Strange Romance

D. The Days I Spent with My Brother in Pennsylvania

3.What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?

A. Clyde Tombaugh discovered the darkness in the Great Depression

B. Pluto was the only planet that was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh

C. Clyde Tombaugh’s job was to build telescopes for Lowell Observatory

D. Clyde Tombaugh’s telescopes used for searching stars were very simple
