I was in a charity shop looking at the second hand books.It just so happened that the book shelves were next to the toy section.After a few minutes I became aware of a group of women standing behind me.They were poorly dressed and spoke in what sounded like an eastern European language.As they looked through the clothes rails a little girl,about three years old,came over to the toy section.Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram（嬰兒車）. What is it about little girls and toy prams? I don't know,but whatever it is its incredibly cute! She spoke to her mother and,in halting English her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost.Three pounds was the answer---about five dollars.The mum looked down at her child,perhaps calculating what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left.Then she simply shook her head.  The child didn't react badly as some might.Being told“no”was obviously not a new experience for her.But she couldn't keep the disappointment from her face. I had the grand total of four pounds in my pocket,two two-pound coins.A moment later I tapped the mother on the shoulder,pointed to the coins which I had left in the pram and said,“Buy her a dolly too.” I didn't hang about to see the end result.After all,it's not about being thanked.I made my way out of the shop and into the sunshine. The money was an investment in the happiness of the world.Was there any better way,I wondered,to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram? And a dolly to sit in it!

1.What did the little girl say to her mother according to the second paragraph?

A. She asked her mother to calculate her money.

B. She asked her mother to buy the toy pram for her.

C. She asked her mother to borrow money from the author.

D. She asked her mother to ask the shop assistant the price of the toy pram.

2.The mother shook her head because ________.

A. she thought the toy wasn’t worth the money

B. she found it difficult to calculate her money

C. she found she didn’t take enough money with her

D. she thought the toy was not suitable for her daughter

3.It can be inferred from the third paragraph that ________.

A. the girl usually behaved badly

B. the mother usually treated her daughter badly

C. the mother was not rich enough to meet her daughter’s need often

D. the little girl was often refused because she asked for too many toys

4.What words can be used to describe the author?

C. Wealthy and healthy. D. Sympathetic and helpful.

The demands of the modern world are growing day by day and this is putting more pressure on scientists to do research. However, as stated by Griffiths, “There is no hope of doing perfect research”. Naturally, there have been a lot of criticisms (批評(píng)), as many scientists immediately announce that their research methods are very safe and that they have the perfect research theory (理論).

However, scientific history is filled with examples, in which a perfect scientific solution that was based on decades of scientific research has been overturned (推翻) with new theories. Naturally the first example that comes to mind is the fact that Newton’s Theories were thought to be very safe and they were used in all fields of science. For centuries, thousands of scientists around the world used Newton’s Theories to formulate (規(guī)劃) other theories.

However, after nearly two centuries of use, Newton’s Theories were found to be not as perfect as they were thought. Through Einstein’s publication on the General Theory of Relativity, it was found that Newton’s laws were imperfect in explaining all motions (運(yùn)動(dòng)) that were taking place in our universe. It was found to be imperfect under some conditions, even though, Newton’s laws are still used today to predict motion at low speeds.

Thus, perfect research is only a myth (神話). Of course, this does not mean that a scientist should simply give up and accept imperfection in his or her research efforts. Improvements and changes in research techniques and methods are a natural part of evolution (進(jìn)化) and it is each scientist’s responsibility to take it forward as much as possible.

While the final answer to the universe’s questions may never exist, a time will come when there will be fewer questions as new answers are found and more improved research is carried out by scientists around the world.

1.Why have there been a lot of criticisms?

A. The modern world demands mor e and more.

B. Scientists have a negative attitude.

C. Many scientists arrive at their conclusions (結(jié)論) too fast.

D. Griffiths does not believe what scientists say.

2.Through the publication of the General Theory of Relativity, Newton’s Theories turned out to be ______.

A. not so perfect B. completely wrong C. very safe D. very exact

3.What will scientists do to deal with the “imperfectness” problem?

A. Accept the fact and give up.

B. Improve and change their methods and techniques.

C. Try their best to carry out the perfect study.

D. Ignore it and do as they please.

4.We can learn from the last paragraph that ______.

A. the universe’s questions are sure to have a final answer

B. the number of questions is sure to increase with the passing of time

C. scientists are carrying out improved studies

D. there will be more scientists in the world in the future
