21、Young Scientists
What is the most important thing to have if you want to become a scientist some day? Six top scientists chose “passion” as their answer.
During a youth science camp held by Shantou University last week, six famous scientists from home and abroad shared their experiences and knowledge with 81 senior high school students from different places across China.
Haifan Lin, a professor at Yale University, said most Chinese students seldom get the chance to communicate with scientists. “The camp offers an opportunity for them to feel the active mind and character of scientists, which they can learn from and follow,” said Lin, who planned the camp.
Tan Zhengzhong, a student from Shanghai, said it was great to discuss science with the scientists. “I have to do a lot of exercises every day at school, and do not have enough time to raise questions and solve them. But at the camp, every student was allowed to raise questions to the scientists,” said Tan.
For Huang Shengyu from Guangzhou, the biggest gain was ideas about her future career. “I had an interest in physics, but some seniors told me that I was talented in music. I was at a loss,” said Huang.
The words of Eddy Rubin, one of the six scientists, inspired her. “Do not study just to get ahead in class. You should study because you have passion for the subject. Do not choose a subject because your parents want you to do it. You should choose it because you are really interested in it,” said Rubin.
Huang said she knows how to choose a career now.
【1】What did the camp offer the students according to Professor Haifan Lin? It offered the students ______.
A．the ways to save their time and pay attention to their study.
B．the opportunity to be hardworking students and to be great scientists.
C．an opportunity to be inspired by the active mind and character of scientists, and to learn from them.
D．an opportunity to make their strategies and plan their careers.
【2】What did Tan Zhengzhong like doing at the camp? He liked .
A．listening to the scientists and took some notes.
B．discussing science with the scientists and raising questions to the scientists.
C．playing games with the scientists and learning by doing,
D．discussing science with other students and exchanging their ideas.
【3】What was Huang Shengyu’s biggest gain? Her biggest gain was .
A．receiving a lot from the scientists.
B．ideas about choosing her career.
C．having a good experience of learning from the scientists.

23、There are numerous resources available for you to learn a language online, and many of them are free.
Watch TV in the language you’re studying. 【1】 For example, if you have the television on while you’re washing dishes, that is passive listening. To use TV viewing as a tool to improve your language skills, pay attention and watch actively. 【2】 In this way, you can understand what’s being said. Later, you might turn on subtitles in the language you`re learning.
Listen to music or podcasts. 【3】 Another advantage of listening to music or to a podcast is that you’re free to do something else at the same time.
Don’t be afraid to start with children’s books or comic books online. You likely learned how to read your native language through children’s books, and you can learn another language the same way. 【4】
【5】 If the language you’re studying is an official language of a country, there will typically be national news and entertainment websites in that language. Do a general online search for “news” with the name of the country. You might try doing your search in the language to bring up websites that are in that language.

C．Visit international news or entertainment websites.

F．However, you must employ active rather than passive listening.
G．The repetition of most music lyrics makes them a way to learn language.
24、It’s fun to dream about vacationing in Europe, but international flights are not always particularly affordable. If you’re looking to experience a taste of European culture, however, there are many places in the US with a European heritage(传统).
St. Augustine Florida
Founded by Spanish settlers in 1565, St. Augustine is full of Spanish-inspired architecture, historical sites and other attractions. The Colonial Quarter is a popular tourist area, and there are many places to grab traditional Spanish food.
Holland, Michigan
Holland was settled in 1847 by Dutch Calvinist separatists, under the leadership of Dr Albertus van Raalte. Terrible economic conditions in the Netherlands forced them to emigrate(移居国外), while their desires for religious freedom led them to unite and settle together as a group. Much of the original architecture was destroyed in an 1871 fire, but the city still has many windmills, eateries, art and even an annual tulip festival and holiday market.
New Glarus, Wisconsin
More than 160 years after it was founded, New Glarus has maintained much of its Swiss heritage and old world traditions. New Glarus’ Swiss immigrant roots are proudly on display with its Alpine architecture, Swiss Historical Village Museum and Yodel Club. The Wisconsin village also puts on cultural events like the Heidi Folk Festival and Swiss Volksfest.
Solvang, California
Located near Santa Barbara, Solang is a charming California city with Danish roots. A group of immigrates from Denmark founded Solvang just over 100 years ago to create a Danish home away from home.

When the opportunity arose in 2003 for the national power company to enter into a 40-year ______ with the American aluminum company Alcoa to supply hydroelectric power for a new smelter （冶炼厂）, those who had been dreaming of something like this for decades ______ the opportunity. For a long time, life here had meant little more than a hut, dark all winter, cold, no hope, children dying left and right, plagues, starvation, volcanoes erupting and destroying all vegetation and livestock, all spirit— a world ______ almost entirely around the welfare of one's sheep and, later, on how good the cod catch was.

The contract with Alcoa would infuse the region with foreign ______, an estimated 400 jobs, and spin-off service industries. It also was a way for Iceland to develop expertise that ______ could be sold to the rest of the world and ______ an economy historically dependent on fish. “We have to live,” Halldor Asgrimsson said.
