The 13-year-old youth, an eighth-grader, was struck in the chest by a high-powered bullet on October7. He was hit as he was being dropped off in front of his school by his aunt on October7. “I cant stop going to work, the children cant stop going to school,” said Henry Ollie,48.He led his12-year-old son, Charles, to the front door of the school, where the latest shooting happened. Ordinarily, Charles takes the bus. Some buses arrived at schools carrying fewer students than usual. And schools where parents usually line up their cars to drop off youngsters had no traffic problems because so many parents had kept their children at home. The middle school boy is still in bad condition after having abort two and a half hours of operation on the night of the shooting. He is the youngest of the nine victims, including one was shot dead on October9. All the victims, seven dead and two wounded, were in public place doing ordinary things.

It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a cartons(紙箱).Then he talked of an in cadent and I began to remember the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping.On that particular day,I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half-doxen cartons.The cartons were put three or four feet high.I must have stopped in front or them to admire the show.Just then a woman came by pushing her grocerty cart and knocked off the pile of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to to me to put the cartons back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and same pushing over to see what had happened.When he appeared,I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame. He scolded me loud and wanted me to pay for any broken forgot the incident, but the manager did not. 59How old was the author when he wrote this article? AAbout 8 years old. BAbout 18 years old.

Most of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans, only three per cent is fresh and only a small part of that is possible. It may be trapped deep underground, and anyway unequally exist around the globe, so the happening of droughts and floods. Of the remaining fresh water, much is polluted and dangerous to use. A large part of UNICEFs work is bringing safe water to people and educating them in basic health care. Some diseases spread by polluted water are the most mon causes of death and illness in children under five in the developing world. Although water gives life, it can also carry some kinds of disease- a leading cause of blindness among children. Mosquitoes, and flies that live near in water bring yellow fever, malaria(瘧疾) and sleeping sickness, so good piped water supplies are needed to reduce the need for people to gather in such an area. In the country, women and children a major part of their time going out to collect water, often walk many miles each day to provide just the limited family needs for cooking, washing and drinking. And they cant carry much while walking over rough fields bearing a heavy bucket. Because children have to play their part in family life, and that includes getting water, they may be unable to go to school, or be so tired when get there that have difficulty learning. They may even have to spend the whole day without a drink as may mot be any clean water there, either. Last year, UNICEF(聯(lián)合國(guó)兒童基金會(huì)) aimed to get almost 90,000 water systems setup, to benefit 20 million people, working where it is most badly needed, often just to ensure keeping alive. A well may woman the difference between life and death. 63What is the main reason for the inadequate supply of fresh water? AMost of it is polluted. BMost of it is almost impossible to get. CMost of it is in the sea. DFloods and droughts have taken place time and again. 64Which of the following statements is NOT true? AWater can spread diseases. BThere would be no life without water. CWater has something to do with some childrens death and illness. DSome children bee blind because of water. 65The purpose of this passage is to . Ainform the reader Bfort the reader Cpersuade the reader Dfrighten the reader 66Children help to collect water because. Athey are not able to go to school Bthey have to spend the whole day without a drink Cthey have difficulty learning Dthey must help their parents with housework (D) Why does cream go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it es down to the structure(結(jié)構(gòu)) of the food, not its chemical position (成份)—a finding that could help break away from some chemicals. Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things, so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem. Both are small globules(小球) of one liquid spread throughout another. The difference lies in whats in the globules and whats in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the research. In careen, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water. In butter, globules of a watery road are locked away in a sea of fat. The bacteria(細(xì)菌) which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery areas of the mixture. “This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says. When in butter, the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat. Trapped in this way, those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out. They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.” In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst. The researchers are already working with food panies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the foods structure. Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something changes of the for instance, more like that in butter, The key will be possible to make something used in salad cream liquid and mot taming like it into a solid state. 67The significance of Brocklehursts research is that. Ait suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals Bit discovered small globules in both cream and butter Cit showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter Dit found that cream and butter share the same chemical position 68According to the researchers, cream goes bad faster than butter because bacteria. Aare stronger in cream Bincrease their number more easily in cream than in butter Clive on less fat in cream than in butter Dproduce less waste in cream than in butter 69According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh but . Aremoving its fat Bkilling the bacteria Creducing its water D changing its stricture 70The underlined word“colonies” refers to . Atiny globules Bwatery regions Cbacteria society Dlittle departments 71mercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack . Aby changing its chemical position Bby turning it into a solid lump Cwhile keeping its structure unchanged Dwhile its liquid form remains (E) (1)Paul Smiths College The College of Nature Experience a different kind of classroom: 14,200 acres of rorests, lakes and streams, a hotel and a restaurant, 99% placement upon graduation.
