pressed flowers and insects.Unlike them，I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.Before World War Ⅰ we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in，of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents，aunts，uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs，the farm animals，the local birds，and above all，the insects.I am a naturalist，not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind.Suddenly you fancy y ou see the answer to the riddle，because it all seems to fit together.This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books，which some might honor with the title of scientific r esearch.But curiosity，a keen eye，a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist：one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self­discipline，a quality I lack.A scientist requires not onlyself­discipline，but hard training，determination and a goal.A scientist，up to a certain point，can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine t he two，you get the best of both worlds.1．The first paragraph tells us the author________.A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB．lost his hearing when he was a childC．didn’t like his brothers and sistersD．was born to a naturalist’s family2．The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because________.A．he didn’t live very long with themB．the family was extremely largeC．he was too young when he lived with themD．he was fully occupied with observing nature3．Which of the following statements is TRUE acc ording to the passage?A．The author is a naturalist，but not a scientist.B．The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.C．The author is first of all a scientist.D．The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.4．The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.A．has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticB．lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistC．just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesD．comes up with solutions in a most natural way(2010届英语周报第1期) When the lazy days of summer arrive and the schedule is packed with swimming，camp，and family vacations，it can be a challenge to find time for learning.But kids’reading skills don’t have to grow cold once school’s out.Here are some ways to make reading a natural part of their summer fun：Explore your library.Visit your local library to check out books and magazines that your kids haven’t seen before.Many libraries have summer reading programs，book clubs，and reading contests for even the youngest borrowers.With a new library card，a child will feel extra grown­up checking out books.Read on the road.Going on a long car trip？Make sure the back seat is stocked with favorite reads.When you’re not at the wheel，read the books aloud.Get some audiobooks (many libraries have large selections) and listen to them together during driving time.Make your own books.Pick one of your family’s favorite parts of summer—whether it’s baseball，ice cream，or the pool—and have your child draw pictures of it or cut out pictures from magazines.Stick the pictures onto paper to make a booklet and write text for it.When you’re done，read the book together.Reread it whenever you like!Keep in touch.Kids don’t have to go away to write about summer vacation.Even if your family stays home，they can send postcards to tell friends andrelatives about their adventures.Ask a relative to be your child’s pen pal and encourage them to write each week.Keep up the reading habits.Even if everything else changes during the summer，keep up the reading routines around your house.Read with your kids every day—whether it’s just before bedtime or under a shady tree on a lazy afternoon.And don’t forget to take a book to the beach！Just brush the sand off the pages—it’s no sweat!5．The purpose of the passage is to________.A．encourage parents to readB．give advice on raising kidsC．raise a
