21、As her son Cameron sits at his laptop completing a task for his math degree course. Alison Thompson, a full-time mum is busy helping her daughter Emma (two years younger than Cameron) get dressed. While help has always been available for Emma, Alison and her husband also have to fight to get Cameron the support he needs. “People could see that Emma has special needs but because Cameron was doing so well at school, his teachers never thought there was a problem with him,” says Alison.
It took Alison and her husband a while to realize their son was different. Cameron’s ability didn’t become clear until he began primary school. Once he even corrected the teacher when she told the class that zero was the lowest number. Cameron told her she was wrong because there were negative numbers. He was four at the time. Now 14-year-old Cameron is at secondary school, studying for a distance learning math degree with the Open University, having sailed through his GCSE at 11 and his A-level at 12, achieving top grades.
Bethany, another daughter of Alison, is bright too, but not gifted. She is the one who will remind absent-minded Cameron to put on his coat. She also helps him out in social situations.
Emma attends a specialist school and the family is quick to celebrate her success too.
“The other day she did up the buttons on her coat, which was real progress,” Alison says.
Late last year the Thompsons took part in a television documentary to prove that not all gifted children are the result of extremely ambitious parents. Gifted children need support too, but their lives don’t have to be that different. Cameron is an example.

22、It was a typical summer day in my small town, with the sun shining and the sky clear. I was sitting on my porch, enjoying the peaceful view of the rolling hills and the calm lake, when suddenly a strong wind blew in from the west. The peaceful sky turned dark as a storm approached.
I went inside, grabbing my raincoat and heading to the barn to secure the animals. The cows were nervous, sensing the approaching storm. I quickly tied them up and ran back to the house, just as the rain started to pour down. The wind was howling and the rain was pounding against the windows. Lightning and thunder followed, making the atmosphere even more electric. I sat by the window, watching the raging storm and praying that everything would be okay.
After what seemed like hours, but was only a few minutes, the storm passed. The clouds moved away, revealing a bright and sunny sky. I walked outside, taking in the fresh air and surveying the damage. The trees were bent over and some branches had been blown off. Our vegetable garden was flooded, but other than that, everything seemed to be fine. I breathed a sigh of relief as I realized that no serious damage had been done.
That evening, as I sat by the fireplace with a cup of hot coffee, I reflected on the experience. It reminded me that nature can be both powerful and unpredictable, but that we must persevere and adapt to whatever it throws at us. The next morning, as I watched the sun rise over the now-calm landscape, I felt a sense of pride knowing that my family and I had weathered the storm together.

23、 African crested rats (非洲黄冠鼠) — rabbit sized furballs from East Africa — are finally starting to show their secrets, In 2011, scientists discovered that the rats laced their fur with a deadly poison. Now researchers report that these animals are surprisingly friendly toward each other and may even live in family groups.
Sara Weinstein, a biologist, was studying the poisonous rats but initially wasn't focused on their behavior, “The original goal was to look into the genetics (基因学),” she says. She wanted to understand how the rats were able to apply poison to their fur without becoming sick.
The rats chew leaves and bark from poison arrow trees and apply their now poisonous spit to their hair. The tree contains a class of chemicals that are very dangerous to most animals. “If we were to sit there and chew on one of these branches, we would certainly not be going about our normal activities,” Weinstein says. A person would probably throw up. And if someone consumed enough of the poison, their heart would stop beating.
But scientists didn't know how common the friendly behavior was in the rats since the 2011 report focused on just one animal. To study the rats, the research team set up cameras to capture images (捕捉影像) of the animals at night. But in 441 nights, the rats tripped the cameras' motion detectors only four times. The rats are probably too small and slow to set off the cameras, Weinstein says.
The scientists placed several of the animals in a “rat house”, a small cow shed with video cameras inside. In the 432 hours of rat videos with multiple rats in one space, the researchers could see how the rats interacted. At times, the animals would “comb” each other's fur. Sometimes, male and female rats formed a pair. A few of the adult rats also took care of young rats. The researchers think that these behaviors indicate that the animals might live in pairs that raise the young, as a family group.
【1】What had Sara Weinstein planned to study about African crested rats?
A.Why they live together.
B.Their strange behavior.
C.How they survive alone.
D.The genetics about them.
【2】What can we know about the arrow trees?
A.Most animals feed on their leaves.
B.A leaf of them is deadly to humans.
C.They make African crested rats throw up.
D.They are harmless to African crested rats.
【3】Why did the cameras fail to capture images of African crested rats at night?
A.They seldom got started to work.
B.The rats often knocked them down.
C.The rats were too small to notice,
D.It was too dark to take clear photos.
【4】What did the researchers find about the African crested rats in the “rat house”?
A.They quickly separated.
B.They hardly interacted.
C.They behaved socially.
D.They put themselves first.
