There is a story about a man who lost his legs and left arm in an accident. After the accident, only a finger and thumb on his right hand remained.

He was a brilliant, creative, and educated man. He had gained a lot of experience while traveling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and would no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him. ¡°Why not write to other people who need encouragement? ¡±

He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners. The prison minister replied, ¡°Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered. ¡±

Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God¡¯s love, hope, strength, and encouragement. He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.

It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply. One day he received a letter from the prison ministry. It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.

The letter said, ¡°Please write on the best paper you can afford. Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they literally fall to pieces! ¡±

No matter what circumstances life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities, and God-given talents. We can discover ways to reach others who desperately need messages of encouragement and strength.

The landmark success of herbal (Ò©²ÝµÄ) expert Tu Youyou, the first Chinese woman national to win a Nobel prize in science, has aroused an extreme sense of national pride and hopes on the future of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Tu, born in 1930, shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine with Irish-born William Campbell and Japan¡¯s Satoshi Omura for her discoveries concerning a therapy against malaria.

She discovered Artemisinin£¨Çà¸ÝËØ£©, a drug that has significantly reduced the death rates for patients suffering from malaria(ű¼²). ¡°Artemisinin is a gift for the world people from the traditional Chinese medicine. It is of great importance for curing malaria and other infectious diseases and for protecting the health of the world people,¡± Tu said in Beijing. ¡°The discovery of Artemisinin is a successful example of collective research on traditional Chinese medicine. The prize winning is an honor for China¡¯s science cause and traditional Chinese medicine in their course of reaching out to the world.¡±

¡°Tu¡¯s winning the prize indicates China¡¯s prosperity (·±ÈÙ) and progress in scientific and technological field, marks a great contribution of traditional Chinese medicine to the cause of human health, and show cases China¡¯s growing strengths and rising international standing,¡± Premier Li Keqiang said in a congratulatory letter Monday evening.

In 2011, Tu became the first scientist on the mainland to win America¡¯s respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new method to malaria treatment£¬which are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945. Graduating from the Beijing Medical College in 1955, she is chief researcher and professor at the Beijing-based China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.

On China¡¯s Twitter-like Sina Weibo, the news has been sent by at least tens of thousands of users and received many ¡°thumb-ups.¡± Netizen£¨ÍøÃñ£©¡°Xiaoxie¡± wrote, ¡° Now I feel truly proud of being a medical student.¡±

I believe the very nature of writing is to set the writer free, not to impress readers. I encourage my students to write freely. By now we taste the good of free writing and enjoy it very much. And I imagine you may have tons of questions about free writing. First, how to improve my logic? 1.The power of writing has to do with its emotion, and logic, and therefore we try extra hard to be logical ¡ª but this kind of forced logic is not something we can force on ourselves, or on our writings. When we let our emotional voice come out freely, our logical voice will also come out ¡ª that is the charm of free writing. Read your own free writings, you will find many free writings are quite logical indeed. You are not that illogical as you thought of yourself.

2.Yes, sometimes our ideas are boring, and sometimes we are boring people ¡ª so what? Who says we have to be amazing all the time? Let¡¯s respect our human reality. The good thing we need to do is to continue to write patiently. Persistence wins the battle. Sometimes the idea may seem boring to us, but as we continue to write, something else will come up. 3.Our writing does not have to be immortal(²»ÐàµÄ) or amazing. Writing is just a way to express ourselves. Please don¡¯t worship writing.

Now, what if my writing often shows my dark side that I don¡¯t want to see at all?

4.As human beings, we all have our dark sides. What is the right way for us to become better people? To face them honestly or to hide them and pretend they never exist? Honesty is always the best policy. Our dark sides need to be expressed, and free writing is a perfect outlet. The miracle is, after you express yourself truthfully, you will have less negative emotions, be more at peace with yourself, and have more compassion(ͬÇé) for others. 5. Many of my students have experienced the healing effects of free writing. And I believe you will experience the same wonderful healing.

A. This is a very honest question.

B. Logic is only one aspect of writing.

C. Then, what if my ideas are boring?

D. And free writing is exactly the opposite.

E. We write to free ourselves, and also to free others.

F. Have you ever wondered why free writing sets us free?

G. Our goal is not to amaze people, but to express ourselves.

Everyone agrees that it¡¯s necessary to reduce carbon emissions £¨ÅÅ·ÅÎ around the world. There is less agreement over exactly how nations should go about achieving a more carbon - free planet. Thus, the environmental equivalent: cap ¨C and ¨C trade carbon emissions, or place a carbon tax on all users?

With cap - and - trade programs, governments limit the level of carbon produced by an industry. Companies that hold their emissions below the cap can sell their remaining allowance on a carbon market, while companies that go beyond their limit must purchase credits on that market. Carbon taxes are more straightforward: a set tax rate is placed on the consumption of carbon with the idea that raising the price will encourage industries and individuals to consume less. At the moment, cap-and-trade has the upper hand, but doesn¡¯t defeat the tax just yet.

Supporters of the tax argue that a cap ¨C and ¨C trade system would be too difficult to administer ¨C and too easily gamed by industries looking to sidestep emissions caps. Cap-and-trade advocates contradict that like all other flat taxes, a carbon collection would relatively burden lower ¨C income families, who spend a greater percentage of their income on energy than rich households.

So which system will have a larger effect on carbon consumption? A 10% carbon tax might reduce the demand for carbon about 5 % or less, according to an analysis by the Carbon Tax Center, an environmental advocacy group. That may not be enough. Businesses and governments haven¡¯t figured out how the two competing systems can work together, but in the end, the world may need both.

1.The passage focuses on_________.

A. programs of collecting taxes

B. systems of reducing carbon emissions

C. reasons for reducing carbon emissions

D. contradictions between the two systems

2.According to the cap ¨C and ¨C trade program, companies_________ .

A. are forbidden to produce carbon emissions

B. are allocated the same amount of carbon consumption

C. can sell their remaining allowance within their limits

D. can sell the extra amount of carbon at a higher price

3.Carbon taxes work by _________.

A. burdening well ¨C off families

B. encouraging industries to consume carbon

C. raising the price for carbon consumption

D. limiting the carbon consumption of industries only

4. The underlined word ¡°cap¡± in the second paragraph most likely refers to_________. A. limit B. credit C. level D. rate

If asked if space exploration should continue, most Americans would give an immediate response either in favor of continuing or in favor of ending space exploration. A common response would be that space exploration is a waste of money. An average American, uneducated on the subject, might believe that the government is wasting billions of dollars on the research that has no merit. Someone strange to the subject might say that a space shuttle goes up once in a while and that is about all that happens. Research is ongoing and continues when there are no shuttles being launched. This also costs the government money. Does the extreme cost of space exploration make sense?

One argument is that the government is wasting money on the research not being used on Earth. Actually, the money goes to workers and scientists that support National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) missions (ÈÎÎñ), and goes to major companies that play important roles in major sectors of the US economy. Boeing is a partner of NASA for aircraft, the same company that makes commercial aircraft for the airline industry.

Another benefit to continuing space exploration is the many spinoff (ÑÜÉúµÄ) technologies it provides. The artificial heart resulted from experiments on the space shuttle. The handheld Jaws of Life used to save victims from car accidents originated from the system used to separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets. Insulation in homes that keeps them warm and energy efficient is based on the technology used to insulate the space shuttle.

There are direct benefits to the economy provided by NASA missions as well as spinoff technologies. These advances are found in food, building materials, medical procedures and the vehicles we drive. While it can be proven that billions of dollars that could be used elsewhere is being spent on space exploration, the benefits it provides outweigh the terrible aspects. As a matter of fact, the money spent helps to improve the quality of our lives.

1.How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A. By offering analyses.

B. By making comparisons.

C. By giving some examples.

D. By presenting research findings.

2.The function of Jaws of Life is to _____.

A. save people from traffic accidents

B. do experiments on the space shuttle

C. keep houses warm and energy efficient

D. separate the space shuttle from its booster rockets

3.In the author¡¯s opinion, space exploration _____.

A. has changed our life completely

B. costs too much of our time

C. benefits us in many ways

D. has nothing to do with us

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Benefits of space exploration

B. Is space exploration worth the cost?

C. How to make space exploration affordable

D. Missions of the NASA space shuttle program
