But once on stage, every word disappeared from my head. Then my teacher told me she had written a narrators（解说者的）part for the play, and asked me to change roles. Though I didnt tell my mother what had happened that day, she sensed my unhappiness and asked if I wanted to take a walk in the yard.It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英）popping through the grass in bunches, as if a painter had touched our landscape with bits of gold. I watched my mother carelessly bend down by one of the bunches.” I think I am going to dig up all these weeds,” she said.” From now on, well have only roses in this garden.But I like dandelions,” I protested.” All flowers are beautiful-even dandelions!My mother looked at me seriously. Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesnt it? she asked thoughtfully. I nodded.” And that is true of people, too, she added.When I realized that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.Over the next few weeks, with her continuous encouragement, I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give this to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took home the flower, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed.1.

As of 26 July, two missing disks had still not been found, and 15 employees had been suspended in connection with the disappearance. Now all energy labs will stop doing classified research that involves(需要) removable storage devices - such as computer disks - until all the devices are given explanation for and new procedures are in place for monitoring their handling by laboratory employees.While we have no evidence that the problems being investigated are present elsewhere, we have a responsibility to take all necessary action to prevent such problems,” Abraham said on 23 July.The shut-down isnt quite as dramatic（惊人的）as it sounds, experts say. Only two labs will be seriously affected: Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory inCalifornia. Together with Los Alamos, these two labs conduct the most part of the countrys nuclear weapon programs. At Livermore, 876 employees will be suspended during the storage of some 12,000 items of classified removable material.At other labs, far fewer people will be affected. The impact (影响) should be the smallest, only concerning about the position holding.” says Martha Krebs, former director of the energy departments science office.1. Why was the storage of classified research at all 24 labs shut down?A. Because the security problems might be present elsewhere.B. Because the security problems existed elsewhere.C. Because two missing computer disks had still not be found.D. Because officials decided to stop doing such research.2. How many labs conduct the countrys nuclear weapon programs?A. About 24. B. Only 2. C. More than 2. D. Over 15.3. The underlined word suspended” in the second paragraph probably means _”.A. hung from above B. doubted C. stopped from work D. fined4. It can be inferred from the text that _.A. the computer disks must have been stolen by terroristsB. the people living in the United States have little securityC. the United States is a country whose security is very badD. the missing of the computer disks caused great fear among Americans第三篇：Every year landslides (滑坡) cause 25 to 50 deaths and $1.5 billion in damage in the United States. They make up 15 percent of the deaths from natural disasters in Europe. And in December, a single event killed more than 200 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize (加固) mountainsides using steel bars and cement (水泥) can help prevent disaster, but it introduces new difficulties. Shaking drills （钻孔）produce harmful dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris (岩屑). Its quite a risky job,” says Giorgio Pezzuto of DAppolonia, an engineering company in Italy.DAppolonia, working with eight other companies, may have an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber. The idea is to operate a machine far away that can drill without a human being on board,” says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is su
