Lillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in about two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.
When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn't think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Lillian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college. Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.
She finds that it is the hardest part of going back to school at her age to sit in class for long periods of time. Because she is not as quick as she used to be, Mrs Hanson often gets up and walks around classes to keep from getting stiff(不灵活). At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all stood up to give her a warm welcome when she introduced herself and explained why she was there and what her aims were.

French novelist Jules Verne (1828—1905) is often called the father of science fiction. Although he was not a great traveler himself, his characters travelled to the moon (in From the Earth to the Moon), under the sea (in Twenty thousand leagues under the sea), into a volcano (in A journey to the centre of the earth), around the world (in Around the World in Eighty Days) and to many other places.
Jules Verne was born in the French city of Nantes in 1828. When he was a boy he ran away from home to work on a ship. However, his father soon found him and brought him home. After that he decided that any future travel he did would be in books. In 1847 his father sent Jules to Paris to study to be a lawyer. Even though he was busy writing, Verne passed his exams in 1849 with high marks.
When Jules told his father he did not want to be a lawyer, his father was very angry. He stopped sending his son any money, so Jules had to earn a living by his writing. Over the next few years he wrote many stories and plays, which brought him only a little money. Then, in 1856, he met Honorine de Viane, a rich, young widow with two children. The couple married the next year.
After his marriage, Verne worked as a businessman in Paris. However, he was not very successful at his job and spent most of his time writing books and doing research for the next one. In 1863 he published his novel Five Weeks in a balloon and the following year he published A Journey to the centre of the earth which made him famous. His books became so popular and earned him so much money that he was able to leave his job and work full time on his writing.

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
注意：每个空格只填1个单词。
Teamwork is just as important in science as it is on the playing field or in the gym．Scientific investigations(调查)are almost always carried out by teams of people working together．Ideas are shared, experiments are designed, data are analyzed, and results are evaluated and shared with other investigators．Group work is necessary, and is usually more productive than working alone．
Several times throughout the year you may be asked to work with one or more of your classmates．Whatever the task your group is assigned, a few rules need to be followed to ensure a productive and successful experience．
What comes first is to keep an open mind, because everyone’s ideas deserve consideration and each group member can make his or her own contribution．Secondly, it makes a job easier to divide the group task among all group members．Choose a role on the team that is best suited to your particular strengths．Thirdly, always work together, take turns, and encourage each other by listening, clarifying, and trusting one another．Mutual support and trust often make a great difference．
Activities like investigations are most effective when done by small groups．Here are some more suggestions for effective team performance during these activities：Make sure each group member understands and agrees to the task given to him or her, and everyone knows exactly when, why and what to do take turns doing various tasks during similar and repeated activities; be aware of where other group members are and what they are doing so as to ensure safety; be responsible for your own learning, though it is by no means unwise to compare your observations with those of other group members．
When there is research to be done, divide the topic into several areas, and this can explore the issue in a very detailed way．You are encouraged to keep records of the sources used by each person, which helps you trace back to the origin of the problems that may happen unexpectedly．A format for exchanging information(e．g．, photocopies of notes, oral discussion, etc．)is also important, for a well-chosen method not only strengthens what you present but also makes yourself easily understood．When the time comes to make a decision and take a position on an issue, allow for the contributions of each member of the group．Most important of all, it is always wise to make decisions by compromise and agreement．
After you’ve completed a task with your team, make an evaluation of the team’s effectiveness－the strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and challenges．
