I sometimes wonder if old Finchley has the right personality to be a research scientist. He keeps asking when he’ll be coming back. After all, it was his own fault. Nobody tries out what has just been invented on themselves any more but Finchley. Well, he must have pumped about a thousand c. c. s into himself before I noticed he was clearly becoming smaller.

It was funny watching him, because his clothes remained the same in size. They simply piled up around him so that he looked like a small boy in his father’s clothes. But he kept getting smaller and smaller. As my colleague Dawson and I watched him, he disappeared! All we could see was Finchley’s clothes on the floor. They looked so strange, because the lab coat was on top, shirt and trousers inside and, I suppose, underclothes inside again. It gave me a strange feeling, and I think Dawson was a bit shaken, too.

Dawson was sitting on his chair in front of a microscope he’d been using to examine a family of mites(螨虫). He looked through the scope kind of absently again, and was nearly scared to lose awareness when he found old Finchley waving back from the other end.

It seems as if Finchley had taken a free ride on a dust mite and landed on the land of the mite family. Of course, we didn’t know till Finchley told us later. But anyhow, as I said, Dawson nearly passed out. He jumped off his chair and pointed at the microscope, to shocked to speak.

Finchley disappeared because ________.

A. he took something poisonous

B. he was changed into a dust mite

C. his father’s clothes totally covered him up

D. what he and his colleagues invented resulted in his disappearace

It frightened Dawson to see Finchley _______.

A. got into his scope by accident B. was waving through his telescope

C. suddenly got lost in his clothes D. gradually disappeared in the lab

It can be inferred that Finchley, Dawson and the writer have possibly invented _____.

A. some kind of medicine B. a new powerful microscope

C. a machine to make people small D. a new way to make a culture of mite

It can probably be concluded that Finchley ________.

A. passed out there and then B. is not fit to be a scientist

C. is a devoted scientist D. will remain tiny all the time

“Now,” Mrs. Virginia DeView said, smiling, “we are going to discover our professions.” The class seemed to be greatly surprised. Our professions? We were only 13 and 14 years old! The teacher must be 36 . “Yes, you will all be searching for your future 37 . Each of you will have to 38 someone in your field, and give an oral (口头的) report.”

Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I 39 print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous. I sat down in front of him 40 able to speak. He looked at me and said, “Did you bring a pencil or pen?” I shook my head. “How about some 41 ?” I shook my head again.

Finally, I thought he realized I was too 42 , and I got my first big tip as a 43 . “Never, never go anywhere without a pen or paper. You never know what you’ll 44 into.” After a few days, I gave my oral report totally from memory in class. I got an A on the entire project.

Years later, I was in college looking around for a new career, but with no success. Then I 45 Virginia DeView and my desire at 13 to be a journalist. And I called my parents. They didn't 46 me. They just reminded me how 47 the field was and how I had run away from competition all my life. This was true. But journalism did something to me; it was in my 48 . And it gave me the freedom to go up to total strangers and ask what was 49 .

For the past fifty years, I’ve had the most satisfying reporting career, 50 stories from murders to airplane 51 and finally choosing my strongest area. When I went to pick up my phone one day, an incredible wave of memories 52 me and I realized that had it not been 53 Virginia DeView, I would not be sitting at that desk.

I get 54 all the time : “How did you pick journalism?”

“Well, you see, there was this teacher…” I always start out. I just wish I could 55 her.
