    Some people have it easy. When their kids ask them what they do at work, they can give a simple, direct answer: “I put out fires” or “I teach primary school”. As a theoretical physicist, I never had this luck. Society has come to expect many things from the physicists. It used to be that we only had to discover the basic laws of the world and supply the techniques that would power the next Silicon Valley. With these expectations we were fairly comfortable: they are the sorts of things we think we know how to do. What makes us uncomfortable and what makes it hard for us to tell our kids what we’re up to is that in this century we have become, though unwillingly, gurus on questions such as “What is the nature of Reality?”

    We now deal with a whole new class of problems. We ask how the world began and what the nature of matter is. The answers we are coming up with are just not easy to comprehend for the average person.

    So, when physicists get out of their cars in the morning, have a cup of coffee and sit down in front of their computers, they leave a familiar world and enter a place where things act in strange ways that are impossible for ordinary people to understand.

72. According to the passage, in a way physicists are        .

    A. honest         B. comfortable    C. strange        D. unlucky

73. By what the writer says about physicists, we know that physicists        .

    A. don’t like their careers

    B. live in two different worlds

    C. are coming up with new answers to old questions

    D. don’t have to tell people what they are doing

74. From the passage we can conclude that theoretical physicists        .

    A. contributed to the new industry in Silicon Valley

    B. only have to answer the basic questions about the world

    C. have disappointed the expectations of many people

    D. have found it hard to make themselves popular

75. What’s the main idea of the passage?

    A. Society seems to know a bit about physicists’ work.

    B. Most people are expecting to know what physicists are doing.

    C. Physicists are doing more and more difficult jobs.

    D. It’s impossible for average people to know physicists’ work.

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers.

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been name national teacher of the year.

Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before.”

Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music.

When students were reading S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book. Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book. Peterson composed two other sons herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book.

The honor means a lot to residents of Granie Falls. It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns can even win national honors.

As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the next year outside classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education.

Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that motivates them to come back to school day after day.

A. discouraging   B. interesting   C. creative   D. unbearable

When Peterson began her teaching career, _____.

A. music was focus of learning in most schools.

B. She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching.

C. She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes.

In Peterson’s opinion, ____.

A. art, music and PE classes are all important.

B. more subjects should be offered to students.

C. students should be motivated to attend art classes.
