26、Mrs. Bruce is an unusual teacher. Once she told each student to bring along a few potatoes in a plastic bag. On each potato the students had to write a name of a person that they hated. And the next day, every child brought some potatoes. Some had two potatoes; some three, some up to five.
Mrs. Bruce then told the children to carry the bags everywhere they went, even to the toilet, for two weeks. As day after day passed, the children started to complain about the awful smell of the rotten (腐烂的) potatoes.

27、The Nobel Prizes in science have been dominated (占主要地位) by men in previous years. But this year, women stole the spotlight!
Jennifer Doudna from the US and Emmanuelle Charpentier from France shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. It’s the first time in history for two women to win the prize without having to share it with a man. At the same time, US astronomer (天文学家) Andrea Ghez became the fourth woman to win a Nobel Prize in Physics, which she shared with two other scientists. Its first female winner was Marie Curie (居里夫人) in 1903.
Doudna and Charpentier were awarded for developing CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors (基因剪刀), a technology that can rewrite DNA in the cells of plants, animals and micro-organisms (微生物). It has had a “revolutionary impact (革命性的影响) on the life sciences,” according to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. For example, it can help us develop crops that can withstand droughts (抗旱). It could also help treat inherited diseases (遗传病) in the future.
On hearing that they were the sixth and seventh women to win the Chemistry Prize, Charpentier said that she hopes girls and young female scientists will “understand that nothing is impossible.” They can “find great discoveries. It’s independent of the gender. ”
Ghez, who was awarded for her research on black holes, had the same feeling. “I’m delighted to be part of the change where more women visibly (明显地) succeed. I think that’s an important way in which we encourage the next generation,” Ghez said. In addition to her research, she was also one of the authors of the 2006 children’s book You Can Be a Woman Astronomer.

28、 There is nothing more important than the safety of our children. Did you know that unintentional injury(意外伤害) is the leading cause of death in children under 14 years old with a third of them happening in the home? One of the top reasons a child under the age of three will visit an emergency room is because of household injuries and sadly, 70% of children who die from unintentional injuries are under the age of four. Every room in the home will have its own set of child safety problems. Two of the main danger zones are the kitchen and the bathroom.
Before I became a young mother, I crawled (爬)around the house on my hands and knees to see things from a child’s perspective(视角). You would be amazed at what you can discover by doing something so simple. We didn’t have toilet covers. A child is top heavy because their heads are bigger than their bodies and can easily fall into the toilet.
You might be surprised with the number of children falling out of windows every year, especially during the summer months. Something as simple as a child leaning against a window screen can result in a serious injury. The best way to prevent this type of injury is by setting up a child safety window guard.
As parents, we do the best we can by providing as much protection as possible to make sure of the safety of children. And as there are so many products out there to help us do this, there is nothing like good old-fashioned supervision(监护). So, use common sense and products that help to keep your child safe, and you will have provided a safe environment for your children.
【1】What’s the main reason for death in children under 14 according to paragraph one?
A.Age problems. B.No sense of safety.
C.Danger areas. D.Unexpected injuries.
【2】Why did the writer crawl around the house on the hands and knees?
A.To cover the toilet. B.To protect her child.
C.To look for something. D.To discover dangers from a child’s point.
【3】What should we do to protect children from falling out of windows?
A.Keep away from a window. B.Place a safety window guard.
C.Move away the window screen. D.Lean against the window firmly.
【4】What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A.Tips on keeping children safe. B.Products for children.
