A man who knows how to write a personal letter has a very powerful tool. A letter can be enjoyed, read and reread. It can set up a warm conversation __1._ two people far apart (远离的); it can keep a _2.__   (friend) with very little effort.

I will give an example. A few years ago my older brother and I were not getting along. We had been close as children 3._ had grown apart. Our meetings were not _4.__ (pleasure); our conversation was filled with arguments and quarrels: and every effort to clear the air seemed to only _5.__ (deep) our misunderstanding. Then he moved to a small island in the Caribbean and we lost touch. One day he wrote me a letter.

These were all qualities for __8._ I had once respected my older brother but thought he no longer had them. I had never known he could write so well.

 Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize (记住) some facts or a formula (公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind.   Above all, they knew how to use their brains.

1. Whether he is more ________or less, a teacher can’t teach his students everything they want to know.

A.important

B.useful

C.difficulty

D.knowledgeable (有知识的)

2.A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to master the ability of __________.

A.learning by themselves

B.making a living

C.reading and thinking

D.studying all the subjects

3. The reason for scientists’ success is that _______.

A.they read books that were not taught at school

B.they worked all their lives

C.they wasted not a single moment

D.they knew how to use their brains

 

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.

A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.

What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.

The insect moved round and round in one spot(地点). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.

By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.

As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.

And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.

Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.

I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.

I took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much as I did on the one.

  A. Its tail       B. Its feet.            C. Its head         D. Its whole body

2. Why did the ant lion hide in the hole?

3. Why did “I” sit down by the side of the road?

  A. To think                           B. To eat her lunch

C. To watch the little holes          D. To catch ants.

4.Why did the ant lion dig the holes?

  A. To play a game                 B. To catch its food

  C. To hide its eggs                   D. To hide from its enemy

5.Why did “I” never forget that day?

  A. Learned something          B. Had a nice time

Looking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do maths well.

Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.

I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my passion has led me into varied explorations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.

But curiosity, a keen (敏锐的)eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

A.he didn’t live very long with them

B.the family was very large

C.he was too young when he lived with them

D.he devoted himself to observing nature

3.It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was        .

A.a scientist as well as a naturalist

B.not a naturalist but a scientist

C.only a born naturalist

D.first of all a scientist

4.According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be        .

A.good at maths

B.full of passion

C.knowledgeable

D.self-controlled
