9．My 16-year-old son，Anton，had gone to the local swimming hole．Most of the kids swim there，and there are plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors，so I had no fears for his safety．
Still，the firefighter's first words"You need to come up here to the Stillwater River"made me catch my breath，and his follow-up words gave me relief："Your son is OK．"
When I got to the river，I immediately saw the fire truck，ambulance and Anton，wrapped with a towel about his shoulders，sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine．
I hurried over to him．"You OK？"I asked．
"Yeah，"was all he said．But my eyes begged for an explanation，I didn't get it from my son，however，who tends to play his cards close to his chest．
The story was this：A woman was being swept under water．Hearing the cries，Anton and his friend Tyler，without hesitation，swam out to her，and brought her safely to shore．
In an age in which the word"hero"is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day，I realized the real thing in my son．The teens are stubborn and self-centered，but that didn't mean they have no desire to do good．Still shocked by my son's daring，I drove him home．Along the way，I tried to dig out some more information from him-but he had precious little to say．The only words he said were，"What's for supper？"
I spent some time alone that evening，thinking about the tragedy that might have been．The next morning，when Anton got up，I had expected him to tell me the story．But all he did was toast some bread，pull himself together，and head for the door to start a new day．Watching from the window，I was reminded that still water often runs deep．

8．In 1988，a company in Ohio invented an alcohol-based hand cleaner，which was meant to be used by health-care worker； when soap and water were unavailable．Joe Kanfer，the company's C．E．O．，told me recently，"there were a couple of other alcohol products out there，but they were really ugly．Either they were greasy （油腻的） or they burned your hands white．"Kanfer took a year and a half to develop this product which is visually appealing and does almost no harm to one's skin．Still．Kanfer lost money on it for more than a decade because people couldn't get what it was for．
The product was called Purell．Today，you see it everywhere．My doctor uses it several times during every office visit．You can hear it in almost every office in the U．S．and school picnics would be impossible without it．The former president Grorge W．Bush was called a racist for using hand cleaner after first shaking hands with Barack Obama，but Bush also gave some of it to Obama and recommended it as a cold preventative （预防药）．What was once barely even a product is now a growing product category，worth hundreds of millions per year．
The rise of Purell makes some health professionals uneasy．Some claimed that promoting hand cleaner may worsen"our culture's irrational （非理性的） fear about bacteria．"Still，the clear agreement among experts is that unclean hands pose a serious health risk，and are one of the main reasons in the spread of infections in hospitals．A 2007study estimated that，in America in 2002，such infections resulted in more than a million and a half patient illnesses and caused or contributed to nearly a hundred thousand patient deaths-about double the number of U．S．deaths currently caused each year by AIDS and guns combined．
However，I asked a food microbiologist whether clean hands might have a medical drawback．He said，"We might have a much healthier population if we adopted the kinds of condition that we see in many Third World countries，with poor-quality food and poor-quality water and lots of bacteria．If we did that，we would have adults who were very healthy and have very strong immune systems．Unfortunately，the price that we would pay would be extremely high child death rate．"
28．Why did Joe Kanfer lose money on his product according to Paragraph 1？A
A．Because people didn't think it useful．
B．Because people thought it was ugly．

A．Purell brings in lots of money for Kanfer．
B．Purell has been widely used in the US．
C．Purell is a cold preventative．
D．Purell meets different needs．
30．What mainly caused patient deaths according to the figures in Paragraph 3？C
A．People's fear about bacteria．
B．Hand cleaner．
C．Bacteria on the dirty hands．
D．AIDS and guns．
31．What can we learn about the people in Third World countries？D

7．Since 1936，many female space explorers have followed Russian astronaut Valentina Tereshkova．Let's look at the missions（任务） of four important female astronauts to find out what astronauts do in space．
In 1983，Sally Ride became the first American women in space．Her team carried out scientific experiments in space and put two communications satellites in space．Satellites make it possible for us to communicate instantly with each other across the world through TV，radio，and telephones．
In 1984，Kathryn Sullivan became the first American women to walk in space．During her mission，she discovered important information about the sun's energy and how it affects the climate in very hot and very cold places on Earth．She also took photographs of Earth and measured air pollution．
In 1992，Mae Jemison became the first African-American in space．During her mission，she did scientific experiments using the weightless atmosphere．In space，there is no gravity，so everything floats!Dr．Jemison's experiments gave important information about the human body to produce better medicines and healthcare．
In 2012，Liu Yang became the first Chinese women in space．She did experiments in space medicine，which look at how astronauts can survive and stay healthy in space．The conditions in space are very hard on the body and space medicine helps astronauts work safely．
