Elbert Einstein, for _____ life had once been very hard, was successful later in science.

A. his            B. whose            C. which            D. whom

Cuts

Bleeding can usually be stopped by applying pressure to the cut for 2 or 3 minutes. The cut can then be carefully inspected. If it has bled freely any germs will normally have been washed away by the blood.

Apply a plaster dressing firmly, bringing the edges of the cut together so that it knits quickly. Keep dry for 1 to 2 days.

If the cut is deep and the edges cannot be pulled together with a dressing consult the doctor or the practice nurse. A tetanus (破傷風(fēng)) injection may be needed.

Grazes

Dirt will often enter a graze caused by falling on a hard or rough surface. It must be cleaned out carefully with an antiseptic solution. (消毒液)

After cleaning, leave the graze uncovered. Exposure to the air will cause a scab to form. This will gradually fry and fall off.

It is not a good idea to apply a dressing. This may stick to the graze or make it complete wet and infected.

Bruises

Bruises are very common in children. They normally get better in 7 to 10 days Parents sometimes worry that a bone may be broken, but if in doubt consult the doctor.  If a child gets up at once after a fall and moves about normally, it is unlikely that a bone has been broken.

Severe bruising can be treated by： Rest for 24 to 48 hours .In the case of a badly bruised leg, the limb should be raised. Lying in bed is the easiest way to do this.

A bad compress may ease a bad bruise if applied at once. This is made by leaving some material in water and applying it to the bruise.

Insect bites

These are common in the summer .They look like spots about 1/4’’across .They are very itchy (癢) and usually appear on exposed parts, e.g. arms and legs.

The itching can be relieved by calamine lotion (護(hù)膚藥水).

Burns and scalds

Minor burns and scalds cause redness of the skin. Immediate treatment by pouring cold water over a burn is often helpful. If burns cause the skin severe hot or break the skin, the doctor should be turned to.

Sunburns should, if possible, be prevented by avoiding long exposure and covering exposed areas as much as needed. It may be treated by calamine lotion to relieve the pain.

A．The most common problem is a “wandering” mind

B．Selective listening is also a mental barrier

C．Listening isn’t an easy skill to master

D．Attitudes can also interfere with good listening

E．Noise and background music makes listening more difficult

F．Listening is also related to the level of the listener’s knowledge

1．__________________

       Listening is not as easy as someone thought．Even good listeners may recall only fifty percent of what they hear．Retention, the ability to remember and recall information, decreases about twenty to twenty – five percent after a few days．So no matter how well you listen in class, you’re always going to have to refresh your memory before a test! Unfortunately, many people have poor listening habits, and little listening training．To improve your listening skills, it’s important to understand what causes poor listening．

2．__________________

       If you find it difficult to concentrate solely on what a speaker is saying, there’s good reason．The mind processes information much faster than a speaker can speak．The brain can process over 500 words per minute, while the average speaker talks as a rate of 124 to 250 words per minute．That means the mind can hear what’s being said and can think about something else at the same time．

3．__________________

       If you have a negative idea about the speaker or the topic, you’ll find it difficult to listen attentively．Hostile or captive audiences often have more difficultly listening than do favorable or voluntary ones．

4．__________________

       If a speaker speaks “above the heads” of an audience, people find it difficult to concentrate．Speakers who use unfamiliar words or who use incomplete explanations make it more difficult to listen．Speakers who “speak down” to audiences, failing to acknowledge what the audience already knows, also create mental blocks．

5．__________________

       When people listen selectively, they simply block out what they don’t want to hear．For instance, many people have habits that are dangerous to their health, like smoking．However, they often choose to block out what a speaker says about health risks．They may listen to a speech and think that the speaker’s message applies to other people, not them．In other words, they hear what they want to hear and ignore what they don’t want to hear．

They used to call her “the witch（女巫）”, but today I found things were different.

       My legs were too short to reach the floor from up there on the big chair. I was so afraid. My legs started to shake.

       It was the first time I had been to the principal’s（校長的） office. And I knew what she was going to ask me.

       Why had I been running on the concrete（混凝土） in the playground? Why hadn’t I followed the school rules?

       The principal’s secretary was sitting at her desk. She kept asking me questions like whether I liked school and what grade I was in. I didn’t want to talk to her, so I just gave one-word answers.         

       Then she asked what my dad did. But I didn’t really know what he did, so I made something up. “He plays basketball for the Boston Celtics,” I said.

       The secretary just looked at me, and said nothing more.

       Just then, the door to the principal’s office opened. There she was, the woman that everyone called “the witch”.

       Was she really that bad? I was surprised to see her office walls were bright yellow, and there were some nice pictures on the desk.

       She told me about the pictures. I was surprised that she had a family and a kid, just like me.

       Then she asked how my family was. It turned out that she had known me since I was only a few weeks old. I was happy to hear that. If she knew my mum, then I wouldn’t get into much trouble.

 She cleaned the cut on my knee and told me to be more careful. She also told me about the rules of the playground. But she didn’t punish or shout at me. And I forgot all the bad things I had heard about “the witch”. I had met her and I knew she was nice.

     With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save these in a dangerous situation. That's a move similar to what a Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called "Noah's Ark".

     Noah's Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of these animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M's College of Veterinary, Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

     It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will probably become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

     This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

     The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

     "The nuclear transfer of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem," Kraemer believes. "They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it's difficult, but this could be                                                                                                                                                                                                      groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort," adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

     "They are trying to do something that's never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah's Ark. We're both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there's a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. The cooperation between us is very much needed."

1. The aim of "Noah's Ark" project is to__________.

   A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas 

B. save endangered animals from dying out

   D. If species should die out, basic building blocks would heal them.

3. The best title for the passage may be__________.

   A. China's Success in Pandas Cloning                                                                                                                                                 

   B. Helping Ways to Avoid Extinction

   C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

   D. The Practice in Noah's Ark
