Far from the land of Antarctica (南极洲), a huge shelf of ice meets the ocean. At the underside of the shelf there lives a small fish, the Antarctic cod.
For forty years scientists have been curious about that fish. How does it live where most fish would freeze to death? It must have some secret. The Antarctic is not a comfortable place to work and research has been slow. Now it seems we have an answer.
Research was begun by cutting holes in the ice and catching the fish. Scientists studied the fish’s blood and measured its freezing point.
The fish were taken from seawater that had a temperature of -1.88℃ and many tiny pieces of ice floating in it. The blood of the fish did not begin to freeze until its temperature was lowered to -2.05℃. That small difference is enough for the fish to live at the freezing temperature of the ice-salt mixture.
The scientists’ next research job was clear: Find out what in the fish’s blood kept it from freezing. Their search led to some really strange thing made up of a protein (蛋白质) never before seen in the blood of a fish. When it was removed, the blood froze at seawater temperature. When it was put back, the blood again had its antifreeze quality and a lowered freezing point.
Study showed that it is an unusual kind of protein. It has many small sugar molecules (分子) held in special positions within each big protein molecule. Because of its sugar content, it is called a glycoprotein. So it has come to be called the antifreeze fish glycoprotein, or AFGP.

We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had __36__ me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered __37__.

“Look __38__, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my __39__ and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village.

If you can’t get to the place where you want to go __42__ one road, try another.”

Now I understood why I was there. __43__ that day I had begged my mother to do __44__ about the terrible lunches that were served at school. But she __45__ because she could not believe the lunches were as __46__ as I said.

When I __47__ my father for help, he would not help. __48__, he brought me to this high tower to __49__ me a lesson — the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a __50__.

At school the next day, I __51__ poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to __52__ it to mother at dinner. The plan __53__ perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and said, “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day.

In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working __54__ I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always __55__ me that there is more than one way to the square.

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare 21 affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was 22 in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much 23 of her ever recovering from this illness. They 24 she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to 25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was 26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was 27 going to be walking again one day.

She was moved to a specialized 28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All 29 that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do 30 else, it would at least give her hope and something 31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her 32 , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!

One day, 33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something 34 happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She 35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"

Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a 36 place. People were screaming, equipment was 37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake. 38 don't tell that to Angela. She 39 that she did it.

And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own 40 . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?

Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (过山车)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.

Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored

Facing their children's complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there's been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"

What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter's &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.

Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.

I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁药)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (处方).

My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.
