Instead of hitting the beach,fourteen high school students traded swimming suits for lab coats last summer and turned their attention to scientific experiments.

The High School Research Program offers high school students guidance with researchers in Texas A&M's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. Jennifer Funkhouser, academic adviser for the Department of Rangeland Ecology and Management, directs this four--week summer program designed to increase understanding of research and its career potential(潜能).

Several considerations go into selecting students, including grades, school involvement and interest in science and agriculture. And many students come from poorer school districts, Funkhouser says. "This is their chance to learn techniques and do experiments they never would have。chance to do in high school.’,

Warner Ervin of Houston is interested in animal science and learned how to tell male from female mosquitoes(蚊子).His adviser, Craig Coates, studies the genes of mosquitoes that allow them to fight against malaria and yellow fever. Coates thought this experience would be fun and helpful to the high school students.

The agricultural research at A&M differs from stereotypes. It's "molecular(分子)science on the cutting edge,” Funkhouser says.  The program broadened students'  knowledge. Victor Garcia of Rio Grande City hopes to become a biology teacher and says he learned a lot about chemistry from the program.

At the end of the program,the students presented papers on their research. They're also paid &600 for their work--another way this program differs from others,which often charge a fee.

Fourteen students got paid to learn that science is fun,that agriculture is a lot more than milking and plowing and that research can open many doors.

 

1.The research program is chiefly designed for _______.

A. high school advisers from Houston

B. college students majoring in agriculture

C. high school students from different places

2.It can be inferred from the text that the students in poorer areas ______.

A. had little chance to go to college

B. could often take part in the program

D. showed much interest in their high school experiments

3.When the program was over, the students ________.

A. entered that college               B. wrote research reports

C. paid for their research            D. found a way to make money

4.The underlined expression“on the cutting edge”in paragraph 5 means“on the most ______ position".

A. important         B. favorable        C. astonishing       D. advanced

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

A. A Program for Agricultural Science Students

B. A Program for Animal Science Students

C. A Program for Medical Science Lovers

D. A Program for Future Science Lovers

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is    16  to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17   too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The    20   is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21   to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24   you to have read the book through once    25   .
What you understand by reading the book through to the   26   will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to    28   the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the  29  of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30   for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
