Found and taken from the north Atlantic 6 days after the sinking of the Titanic in 1912, his tiny body so moved the salvage (救援) workers that they called him “our baby.” Intheir home port of Halifax, Nova Scotia, people collected money for a headstone in front of the baby’s grave (墓), carved with the words: “To the memory of an unknown child.” He has rested there ever since.But history has a way of uncovering its secrets. On Nov. 5, this year, three members of a family from Finland arrived at Halifax and laid fresh flowers at the grave. “This is our baby,” says Magda Schleifer, 68, a banker. She grew up hearing stories about a great-aunt named Maria Panula, 42, who had sailed on the Titanic for America to be reunited with her husband. According to the information Mrs. Schleifer had gathered, Panula gave up her seat on a lifeboat to search for her five children, including a 13-month-old boy named Eino from whom she had become separated during the final minutes of the crossing. “We thought they were all lost in the sea,” says Schleifer.Now, using teeth and bone pieces taken from the baby’s grave, scientists have compared the DNA from the Unknown Child with those collected from members of five families who lost relatives on the Titanic and never recovered the bodies. The result of the test points only to one possible person: young Eino. Now, the family sees: no need for a new grave. “He belongs to the people of Halifax,” says Schleifer. “They’ve taken care of him for 90 years.”Adapted from People, November 25, 20021.

Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine ArtsCWe are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed —no examination is perfect —but to have external tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.Without external examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them —a form of favouritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defendence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would b e a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.These people are not just against school organisation, but are at war with the whole idea of modem competitive society and they are using children in schools for their destructive（破坏性的）purposes. There is no reason why we should allow such people to determine the way our schools are organised when it is to the obvious disadvantage of the pupils, of the schools and of our society as a whole.8. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ________.A. bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs.B. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs.C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets.D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success.9. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.10. Which of the following sentences is TRUE?A. Most students from poor families can’t get a good job.B. Some people are using students to destroy our society.C. The writer thinks it a good way to choose a job by computer.D. The opponents of the examination want to reorganize schools.11. The opponents would agree that _________.A. computers should be selected to take over many jobsB. particular people should not be chosen for particular jobsC. well-respected schools should be got rid of as soon as possibleD. the students are not equally treated if they take external examinationsDBeing considered a leader in our society is indeed of high praise. Leadership means power, commands respect and, most important, encourages achievement. Unlike vitamin C, leadership skills can’t be easily swallowed down. They must be carefully cultivated.Different from popular belief, most good leaders are made, not born. They learn their skills in their everyday lives. But which do they develop? How do they (and how can you) get others to follow?Always give credit. Many leaders note that the most efficient way to get a good performance from others is to treat them like heroes. Giving public credit to someone who has earned it is the bestleadership technique in the world. It is also an act of generosity (慷慨) that ’s never forgotten.Giving credit is more effective than even the most constructive criticism (批评) , which often hurts rather than helps. Kenneth Blanchard, the author of The One-Minute Manager , agrees. “Catch people doing something right!” he says, “Then tell everyone about it.”Take informed risks. “The best leaders know that taking a risk is not a thoughtless exercise,” says management adviser Marilyn Machlowitz, “Sky divers don ’t go up in an airplane without checking the parachutes (降落伞) befor ehand.”Because the idea of risk also carries with it the possibility of failure, many of us usually wait for others to take charge. But if you want to be a leader, you must learn to fail, and not die a thousand deaths. Pick yourself up and start all over again.Encourage enthusiasm (热情). “When people understand the importance of work, they lend their mental strengths,” says Lee Ducat. But when they get excited about the work, all their energy gets poured into the job. That ’s a great force! Is this the best way to create excitement? Be enthusiastic yourself. You will be followed by everyone.12. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? _______.A. Leadership Is of Skills and TechniquesB. Leadership Is Very ImportantC. Not Many Can Be LeadersD. How to Be a Leader13. The part “Always give credit ” tells us that a leader should _______.A. give helpful criticismB. regard others as real heroesC. praise people for their good performancesD. praise everyone14. To be a good leader, you should _______.A. not be afraid of any risksB. think twice before taking risksC. try to avoid any possible failuresD. know what a thoughtless exercise is15. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? _______.A B C DEBefore going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for thetemperature. This helps us decide what to wear. _(16)__________ . We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale. Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide.__ (17) ___ _______ .The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury (or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts (收缩). That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube.__ (18)____ _____ _.First. Take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with coloured water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.__(19)_______________.Finally. Place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water lever easily.__(20)______________.As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the lever in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water lever in the straw each morning for a week.A. We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other thingsin our daily lives.B. Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same waywhen they are heated or cooled.C. Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.D. The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.E. They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.F. Take wax (you may use an old candle if you have one) and melt some of it right where thestraw is struck into the cap to seal (把…粘住) them together.G. People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.。
