After their business trip, John and Mary returned, eager to see their lovely children. As they drove into their home town feeling glad to be back, they noticed2 , and they went off their usual route to see what it was. They found a3 in flames. Mary said, “Oh, well, it isn’t our fire, let’s go home.”
But John4 closer and screamed, “That home belongs to Fred Jones who works at the plant. He wouldn’t be5 work yet, maybe there is something we could do. ” It has nothing to do with us, Mary6.
But John drove up and stopped and they were both horror-stricken to see the whole house in7 . A woman on the lawn was screaming, “The children! Get the children!” John8 her by the shoulder saying, “Get a hold of yourself and tell us where the children are!” “In the9,” cried the woman, “down the hall and to the left. ”
In spite of Mary’s disagreement John10 for the basement which was full of smoke and11 hot. He found the door and two children.12he left he could hear some more sobbing. He13 the two badly frightened children into14 arms and started back asking how many more children were down there. They told him15more and Mary grasped his arm and screamed, “John! Don’t go back! It’s16 ! That house will fall down any second. ”
36 he ran into the smoke-filled hallway and at last he found both children. As he climbed up the 17stairs, the thought went through his mind that there was something strangely18 about the little bodies next to him, and at last when they came out into the19 and fresh air, he found that he had just20his own children.
The baby-sitter had left them at this home while she did some shopping.

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I have some 1 of why the failure is so total. 2the faults already found out in the education system as a whole, there have been several serious 3which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 4. Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun or the subject of a sentence from its object.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 5that the most able groups are 6and are bored while the least able are lost and 7bored.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having8lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school have forgotten it a few years later.
Most American schools have accepted what is necessary and 9modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop10resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.

As I understand, if scientists produced a human clone, there would be a great risk of it having a disease. Nobody seems to understand the ageing process of a clone. It would be terrible if a baby was the age of its parent at1. Its cells would grow old fast and it would die young.2until the technique is perfectly safe, it should be3.
I'd love to have a clone of4. I often wish I had a twin sister, someone who5me in everything. So why not a clone? Well, the idea6be fun but I'm not sure if it would be7. I think we would be playing with fire if we let scientists go ahead with8cloning. There are so many9
involved that all research in this area should be strictly controlled.
There are so many arguments10cloning that it is difficult to get anyone to consider the possible benefits. I am11that it is a technique which could be beneficial. The most obvious use would be for childless12. They would be able to have babies with their own genetic material. I don't see what's wrong with that.
Imagine a child13up knowing that his or her mother is really a sister or a brother. The emotional14on the child would be15. Or a child who was cloned from a dead brother or sister. What kind of emotional pressure would they feel, knowing they were made as a replacement for another? The whole idea

It's all very good to ban human cloning but scientists should be allowed to17
research. If they don't, we may18important benefits for our society, such as producing body organs. A clone is an19copy of a person with the same gene. Therefore, it is the20donor for an organ(器官) transplant.

It was only a few weeks after my surgery. I went to Dr. Belt’s office for a 1 . it was just after my first chemotherapy treatment(化疗). My scar was still very tender.2, I was taken to an examination room to have my blood3, again – a terrifying process for me, since I’m so frightened of4.
I lay down on the5. Then Ramina entered the room. Her6smile was familiar, and 7in contrast to my fears. I’d first seen her in the office a few weeks earlier. She wasn’t my 8on that day, but I remember her because she was laughing. What could she9find to laugh about at a time like this? So I decided she wasn’t10enough about the whole thing.
But this day was11. Ramona had taken my blood before. She12my fear of needles, and she kindly13the medical equipment under a magazine. As we opened the layers of bandage, the14scar on my chest could be seen.
She gently15over and ran her hand across the scar,16the smoothness of the healing skin. I began to cry gently and quietly. She brought her warm eyes to mine and said, “You haven’t17it et, have you?” And I said, “No.”
I continued to cry gently. In18tones she said, “This is part of your body. This is you. It’s okay to touch it.” But I couldn’t. So she touched it for me. The19. The healing wound. And beneath it, she touched my heart.

The uncool kids are in the other corner of the playground.They are very bright ,but they don’t have great6skills and they are 7at sports .When they are not programming computers or doing calculus(微积分)in their heads ,they are reading comic books and watching shows like the “X Files” .They are 8as the geeks(古怪的人).
Here’s the news.The geeks are 9.Make friends with them now or they will put virus in your computer and10your maths homework to ruin.Geeks might not be popular at school, yet they do pass their examinations, and they might not be too popular at university, but 11good degrees.
The most important12of the 2lst century, computers and IT, has been at least partly created by geeks .Geek heroes like Bill Gates13others to follow their example .Being a geek is a way of earning good money .And the creation of the Internet gave them a14of their own to work and play in, making them a global15.Besides ,the effect of the geeks 16popular culture has started a new trend.It is now cool to be 17.Geek culture is becoming an important part of general popular culture, in which what you know is more important than18you look like.

I’d been proud that I’d never lost my cellphone until my husband Jack got a call one evening.
We went to visit a friend in hospital last year. When Jack’s 1rang, it was my mother calling from my 2. She asked if I had 3my mobile. I checked my purse. It was 4!
I used Jack’s phone to call my number. Then a boy, whom I’11 call Rhys, 5it. “I found your phone!” he said, excitedly. “I have been trying to find you, but 6it was getting late, I decided to leave.” He gave me the address of a 7near his home.
Later that evening, I went to 8him there. I didn’t dare to go 9, worrying this was some cheater. So Jack came along. After 1010km, we got to the coffee shop which Rhys 11.
My 12were gone. Rhys was just a young boy. “How did you 13my mum?” I asked. He 14that when he found my mobile by the roadside, he started calling people in my list of contacts. But all they 15was my mobile phone number—which didn’t16. He’d called many names, starting with the letter A. Finally he got Adam, one of my friends, who17my house.
I was 18to get my phone back with all the contacts, messages and photos I could have lost for ever. I was so 19to Rhys and offered him some money, but he 20.
As we drove back, we praised Rhys for his honesty.

The good doctor had some interesting3concerning planting trees. He never 4his new trees. Once I asked why. “Watering plants will 5them.” He said, “If you water them, each younger generation will grow 6. So you have to make things7for them.”
He talked about how watering trees 8shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow 9roots in search of water. He’d planted an oak and, 10watering it every morning, he’d11it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s12.
Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I returned and walked by his 13and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re incredibly 14now.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two 15. I stand over them and pray for them. 16I pray that their lives will be easy. But lately I’ve been thinking that it’s time to change my17.

I am Ali. I have always believed in myself. My parents taught me to be1and that I could be the best at anything. I2challenging my neighbourhood boys to see who could jump the highest and run the fastest. Of course I knew when I made the challenge, I would win. I never even3losing.
I started my boxing4when I was 12. In high school I boasted (自夸) that one day I was5to be the champion of the world. As part of my training, I would run down the street. I would rush in and out of shops to6them I was training for the Olympics and I was going to7a gold medal. I never thought of failing but only glory(光荣) I was going to8when I won. When I said I was going to be the "Greatest of All Time", I9myself. And I still do.
But I didn’t know that my will would be10when I retired. In 1996, I was asked to11the cauldron(圣火) at the summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
When the12came for me to set fire to the cauldron, I realized I had the eyes of the world on me. Then I heard an extremely loud13. I was reminded of my 1960 Olympic14in Rome, when I won the gold medal. I remembered those 36 years between Rome and Atlanta and15that I had come full circle. Nothing in life has defeated me. I am still "The Greatest."
