Published March 30, 2011)Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity might have a few mistakes—and Jake Barnett has set out to prove it.Between attending college classes at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) and tutoring his fellow students, Jake is also working on a new theory about the creation of the universe.He happens to be 12 years old.

From an early age, Jake showed an extraordinary interest in stars.When he was 3, his parents took him to a space observatory.He tried to learn as much as he could about astronomy.Jake’s IQ measured remarkably high at 170.

As a baby, Jake was found out with Asperser’s syndrome, a form of autism (孤独症).Autism causes difficulties in communication and social abilities.People with autism may also have strong interests—like Jake’s interest in the stars at a young age.

The symptoms of autism can range from mild to extremely severe.Asperser’s is one of the milder forms of autism.Sometimes people with Asperser’s, like Jake, develop extremely advanced skills in science, music or art.

When Jake was in elementary school, his parents worried that the effects of his Asperser’s were worsening.He became quiet.And he was withdrawing from people.So a doctor recommended that Jake’s parents let him study more advanced subjects, like math and physics.

Jake’s mother asked an astronomy professor to let Jake sit in on his class.Now, Jake studies advanced sciences like electromagnetic physics at IUPUI.

But Jake thinks it’s important to have a normal life too.He likes to play Guitar Hero with his friends and watch science fiction movies.He also enjoys playing classical music on the piano.But for Jake, studying physics is the most important thing.Jake’s professor, John Ross, is working on getting a large sum of money for him to do research at the university.

Doctors have said Jake’s autism symptoms have lessened over time.Still, Jake proudly refers to himself as an “Aspy”, or someone with Asperser’s.In an interview with his university student newspaper, he said, “I think the autism is the reason I’m even at IUPUI.”

Eleven-year-old Evan Green doesn’t want to save just one tree-he wants to save a whole rainforest!

In the Redwood City, Calif, a boy started a group called the Red Dragon Conservation Team four years ago to do just that. So far, the team’s members have raised $4,500. That’s enough to purchase and protect more than 16 acres of rainforest in Costa Rica through the Center for Ecosystem survival.

Every year, thousands of square miles of rainforest are destroyed worldwide. Logging and farming are mostly likely to blame, scientists say. The loss is terrible news for animals and people. Even though rainforests cover less than 2 percent of the earth, they are home to half the world’s plants and animals. Rainforests also provide water and help control the earth’s climate.

Evan’s work to save the rainforests recently earned him a Barron prize for Young Heroes. The prizes are given to children or teenagers who have made a positive difference in the world. Evan’s goal is “to save enough rainforests to last forever”. He won’t have to do it alone. His actions have already inspired other kids to chip in. One girl asked for donations instead of presents on her birthday. She raised $850. Other kids are starting their own conservation teams.

Evan says everyone can help the planet-even by taking small steps such as recycling. He and his family try to make a difference every day. “We recycle, we try to limit our garbage… we’ve been walking a little more, and we buy local food,” Evan said.

1.Evan started the group _______.

A. to help the poor B. to make himself well-known

C. to win the Barron prize D. to save the rainforest

2.How much does it cost to buy and protect an acre of rainforest in Costa Rica?

A. About $4,500. B. About $850.

C. About $1,000. D. About $280.

3.What Evan said in the last paragraph suggests that _________.

A. actions speak louder than words

B. we can all do something to protect the earth

C. we should learn to recycle from now on

D. a good beginning makes a good ending

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

A. Evan Green-a famous teenager

B. The Red Dragon Conservation Team

C. Boy gathers support for rainforests

D. Rainforests are being destroyed

An idea that started in Seattle's public library has spread throughout America and beyond.The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools.The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998.Her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the "One Book, One Chicago" program.As a result, reading clubs and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city.Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York ,where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population.This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity(一致)can be achieved .Or it may show that New Yorkers rather missed the point ,putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Ultinatelas Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

1.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A.To invite authors to guide readers.

B.To encourage people to read and share.

C.To involve people in community service.

D.To promote the friendship between cities.

2.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A.They had little interest in reading.

B.They were too busy to read a book.

C.They came from many different backgrounds

D.They lacked support from the local government

3.According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A.In large communities with little sense of unity

B.In large cities where libraries are far from home

C.In medium-sized cities with a diverse population

D.In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached

4.According to Nancy, the degree of students of the project is judged by

A.the careful selection of a proper book

B.the growing popularity of the writers

C.the number of people who benefit from reading.

D.the number of books that each person reads.
