1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。

“当我不被允许做我喜欢的事情的时候, 我不喜欢我父母。They always tell me I should do this and should not do that. It sometimes makes me angry,” said Zhang Hua, a middle school student in Guangzhou.

Do you have the same problem? Perhaps you spend a lot time talking back with your parents too. Why does it seem that some parents and children can’t get along with each other?

父母最大的问题之一就是他们喜欢操心。They worry about everything about you. They do a lot for you, though something will make you angry. They care about you and worry about you because they want you to grow up healthily and happily.

So how can you make things easier by yourself? It’s easier than you think. Just make sure your parents know what you’re doing. Call them if you stay somewhere else. Communicate with them before making your own decisions and take responsibility for what you have done.

And you should think about why your parents do this or do that. They still practice being parents and need help that you can give them. Some days you will also end up as a parent. And they may be able to help you get on well with your children.

Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the good examples. They have developed technology and brought great progress to humans besides making money for themselves.

26、People often say, “You can’t live only on air.” But Chinese scientists can now tell you: Maybe you can.

Scientists from Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences made a big breakthrough. They have turned carbon dioxide (CO2, 二氧化碳), the “infamous” (声名狼藉的) greenhouse gas, into starch (淀粉).

Starch is the main part of the flour, rice and corn that we eat every day. It’s created by plants through photosynthesis (光合作用). But according to the team’s director Ma Yanhe, plants do this in a complex (复杂的) and inefficient (低效的) way, which takes about 60 steps. The new study, after six years of hard work, has found a simpler way to do this, with only 11 steps.

“Our study shows that creating complex compounds (化合物) like starch is possible in a lab (实验室), and there are many areas that can benefit from this technology, ” Ma told China Daily.

The scientists first turned CO2 and hydrogen gas into methanol (甲醇). Then they pieced these methanol molecules (分子) into bigger and more complex molecules. Finally the starch came out.

This method makes it possible to produce food in factories, replacing traditional farming. This will not only help make plenty of starchy crops (农作物) such as potatoes, but also save water, fertilizer (肥料) and land. It may also help recycle CO2 to deal with climate change, according to China Daily.

The study can benefit space exploration too. Astronauts no longer need to worry about their food as they travel in space. They may simply turn the CO2 they breathe into the food they eat!

A．Water.

C．why the research is meaningful

【4】How does the new findings help us?

a. It helps to protect our environment.

b. It provides people with more healthy food.

c. It benefits the food problems of astronauts.

d. It helps to save natural resources.

A．abc

B．bcd

C．acd

【5】What’s the best title of this passage?

A．Environmental protection

B．Astronaut food

C．The air you can eat

27、Everything happens for the best.” Whenever I faced disappointment, my mother would say this to me.

After I graduated from college in 1932, I decided to find a job in radio as a sports announcer. I went to Chicago and knocked at the door of every station. But unluckily , I was refused every time.

At one station, a kind lady told me that big stations wouldn’t hire (雇佣) an inexperienced person and suggested that I try my luck at smaller stations. Following her advice, I went back to Dixon, where I had grown up. There were no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, and my father said a newly-opened store wanted a local athlete to work for it. I applied for the job, but I was refused again.

“Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.

As I left his office, my frustration(挫败，失意) boiled over. “How can I become a sports announcer if I can’t get a job in a radio station?” I asked aloud.

While I was waiting for the elevator, I heard someone calling. It was MacArthur. “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he asked me to broadcast (广播) an imaginary game. Pleased with my performance, he offered me a chance to work there.

On my way home, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for” that previous disappointment.
