Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a bination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantasticand very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In xx, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a plete zooa joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In xx, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside, it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. Its a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.65. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?A.

Failure is the mother of success.B. Little by little, one goes far.C. Every coin has two sides.D. Well begun, half done.68. Which of the following can best describe the author?A. Caring and determined.B. Honest and responsible.C. Ambitious and sensitive.D. Innocent and single-minded.C With only about 1,000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. Thats a move similar to what Texas A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called Noahs Ark. Noahs Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos (胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should bee extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & Ms College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future. It is estimated that as many as 2,000 species of mammals, birds, reptiles will bee extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of being extinct in the next 25 years. This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal. The entire procedure could take from three to five years to plete. The nuclear transfer (核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem, Kraemer believes. They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy. It takes a long time and its difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog. They are trying to do something thats never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noahs Ark. Were both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and theres a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. Its a research that is very much needed.69. The aim of Noahs Ark project is to _.A. save endangered animals from dying outB. make efforts to clone the endangered pandasC. collect DNA of endangered animals to studyD. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another70. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _.A. host animals B. enough moneyC. available panda eggs D. qualified researchers71. The best title for the p
