WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a   16  : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a   17  ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”

Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t   18   Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left   19   than anyone else.

On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor   20   the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore   21   the award.

Gurdon got the honor   22   his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some   23   on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its   24  , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then   25   into a clone of the adult frog. His research   26   for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.

At that time, many people   27   accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to   28   Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the   29   use of cells. For example,   30   from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those   31   who have diseased or damaged tissue.

Gurdon always remembers the   32   he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily   33   to himself.

“When you have   34  , like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be   35  ,” he said.

However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.

When John Milton , writer of “Paradise Lost” ,entered Cambridge University, in 1625, he was already skilled in Latin after seven years of studying it as his second language at St. Paul’s School, London. Like all English boys who prepared for college in grammar schools ,he had learned not only to read Latin but also to speak and write it smoothly and correctly .His pronunciation of Latin was English ,however ,and seemed to have sounded strange to his friends when he later visited Italy.
Schoolboys gained their skill in Latin in a bitter way. They kept in mind the rules to make learning by heart easier. They first made a word-for-word translation and then an idiomatic translation into English .As they increased their skill ,they translated their English back into Latin without referring to the book and then compared their translation with the original .The schoolmaster was always at hand to encourage them. All schoolmasters believed Latin should be beaten in.
After several years of study ,the boys began to write compositions in imitation of the Latin writers they read. And as they began to read Latin poems ,they began to write poems in Latin .Because Milton was already a poet at ten ,his poems were much better than those painfully put together by the other boys. During the seven years Milton spent at university ,he made regular use of his command of Latin. He wrote some excellent Latin poems ,which he published among his works in 1645.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2011-2012學(xué)年湖北武漢部分重點(diǎn)（四校）高一上學(xué)期期中英語(yǔ)試卷（帶解析） 題型：閱讀理解

John H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.
Luckily he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son，you can be anything you want really to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others，including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard don’t succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”
These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work don’t mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15，to Chicago.
Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. John’s mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words — as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to publish a magazine for blacks.
While others discouraged (使氣餒) him, John’s mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try.” She also let him pawn（典當(dāng)）her furniture to get the ＄500 he needed to start the Negro magazine.
It is natural that difficulties and failures followed John closely until he became very successful. He always keeps his mother’s words in mind: “Son, failure is not in your vocabulary!”
Now John H. Johnson is one of the 400 richest people in America — worth $150 million.
【小題1】John’s father died in ________.

A．1922B．1933 C．1924D．1923
【小題2】John’s mother decided to move to Chicago because _______.
A．his father died when John was very young
B．life was too hard for them to stay on in their hometown
C．there were no schools for black people in their hometown
D．John needed more education badly
【小題3】John’s mother ________．
A．didn’t believe in or depend on others
B．thought no one could succeed without working hard
C．believed one would succeed without working hard
D．thought one could be whatever one wanted to be
【小題4】The story mainly tells us ________ .
A．a(chǎn)bout the spiritual support John’s mother gave him
B．how John H. Johnson became successful
C．a(chǎn)bout the importance of a good education
D．a(chǎn)bout the key to success for blacks

Why not an island get-away?
Newfoundland
Price
From £1080 per person in June 2005
We went with:
Frontier Canada frontier-travel. Co. uk/Canada
About this trip
John Cabot had set sail looking for a new trade route for Asia, when he landed in Cape Bonavista. Clearly he felt this barren desolate landscape could provide this, so he claimed it for its potential and so began the rise of the British Empire.
Newfoundland is the most easterly point in North America and was Britain’s first overseas colony until 1949, when it became part of Canada. It’s roughly the size of England and Craig’s journey by camper van or RV (recreational vehicle) took in just a small part of the island called the Bonavista Peninsula.
First stop was the tiny fishing port of Keels to stock up for the journey ahead. There’s a long standing love affair between Newfoundlanders and cod. The seas off the Newfoundland coast were once the richest cod fishing grounds in the world, attracting fishermen from all over Europe. Many settled, establishing these coastal villages known locally as outports.
An hour’s drive down the coast is the town of Bonavista, where Craig met up with retired fisherman, Wilson Hayward. He told Craig how the landscape used to lie, and described the peculiarities of the language and accents in the area. There’s a different language in every bay.
【小題1】The title “Why not an island get-away?” _________.

A．invites people to take a holiday trip to Newfoundland
B．informs people that the island is moving away from where it used to be
C．tells people that they can buy the island at the price of £1080.
D．a(chǎn)sks people to visit the website frontier-travel. co.uk/Canada
【小題2】From the context we can conclude that “Frontier Canada” is the name of _________.
A．a(chǎn) tourist guide
B．a(chǎn) kind of fish found around the island
C．a(chǎn) tourist agency
D．someone who has already booked the trip
【小題3】When John Cabot first discovered Cape Bonavista he was actually on a voyage to find ____.
A．North AmericaB．Asia
C．South AmericaD．the British Empire
【小題4】According to the passage Newfoundland is now part of _________.
A．UKB．CanadaC．EuropeD．Bonavista
【小題5】In the past the Newfoundlanders mainly lived by _________.
A．teaching languagesB．making camper vans
C．looking after retired fishermenD．fishing cod
