But in time, when he was older and wiser, he wanted to find this teacher and apologize (道歉). But the teacher seemed to have disappeared. In the past ten years, the boy, Larry Israelson, often turned to the Internet, typing the teachers name into search boxes. He never found anything. But he never stopped looking. Last monthby now nearly 39 years after the event happenedhe got a hit. Excited, he started reading a story I had written in The Oregonian about a program that helps kids. He studied a photo and found his teacher, who was a volunteer. He then emailed me and asked me to introduce him to the teacher, James Atteberry. I got in touch with Atteberry. He agreed to talk to his student. Shortly thereafter, I received a package with an envelope in it. I immediately took it to Atteberry. As James Atteberry read the letter, he was brought back to 1973, when he was a history teacher in Huntington Beach. In the letter, Larry said, “I am truly sorry for leaving your seventh grade class during the 19721973 school year. I dont have many memories from school, but at the top of my exercise-book you wrote You will go far in life. Looking back on my younger self, I was proud to be your student.”When it comes to apologies, no one gets a pass. Everyone needs to receive one, and everyone needs to give one.50.

Guei, a star on the basketball team, expressed he was giving away he $ 40,000 hed won in a competition and was dividing it among them. The room filled with shouts and cheers. “Everyone went mad with excitement,” he says. “They were surprised that I would do something like that for them.”In November 2000, Gueis family moved from the Ivory Coast to the United States, and he immediately took up basketball. “When I first came to California, the Lakers were winning: it was Kobe Bryant, Shaquille ONeal era (时代),” he recalls. “I just fell in love with the game.”A few years later, he was playing for the school. Then, in March, he entered a free-throw competition at the school, and the town saw just how big a team player Guei really isboth on and off the court (球场).In the first round, each of the eight contestants (竞争者) took ten shots, and the top four shooters advanced. “I was one of the final four, but I really didnt shoot that well,” Guei says. “I was nervous!” In the second round, however, he took the winning shot. He went home with the prize of $ 40,000.A few months before Guei left school, he was offered a full scholarship (奖学金) to California State University, and he had an idea. “I could have kept the prize money, but I was already going to college for free,” Guei says. “I know the others were going to have a lot of difficulty paying for school. They needed it for their futures, so I just decided to give it away.”Now wearing No. 25 on Northridges Matadors basketball team, Guei has little time for anything but training and studying, though he keeps in touch with most of his classmates. “I know those kids. Whatever they decide to do in life is going to be something good,” he says. “It was just the right thing to do.”As for his own future, Guei is still learning. “I work really hard at everything I do,” he says. “But whatever happens in my future, Im just happy that I was able to help somebody else along the way.”53. When did the things described in the first paragraph happen? A. As soon as the competition was over. B. When Guei just finished high school. C. As soon as Guei got the scholarship. D. When Guei already went to college.54. What does the writer mean by how big a team player Guei is off the court? A. He works hard at his lessons. B. He is good at making friends. C. He doesnt like money at all. D. Hes set a good example in life.55. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The Most Valuable Player B. The Most Hopeful Star C. The Greatest Prize Winner D. The Best Friend of OursDIt took 13 years of international effort to map the human biological blueprint of all the genes (基因) that make us different people. The first rough draft (草图) was made in 2000. The last of our 23 chromosomes (染色体) was clearly described in 2006. Ever since then, the age of personal genetic testing has been upon us. Since that time, a growing number of private companies have come on the market mostly through the Internet, offering to scan (扫描) your personal DNA and compare it to some disease markets of the blueprint, called DTC genetic tests.But over the last five years the medical world has been discussing excitedly about whether these DTC tests are helpful or harmful, scientifically believable or completely useless. One of the usual criticisms (批评) is that the science is so new that no one really knows yet how to explain the information.“At present they largely remain in the period of research studies,” notes Dr. Greg Feero, special advisor to the director of genomic medicine at the US National Human Genome Research Institute. Feero says there are two reasons. “The first is that when they offer a test, are they really checking what they should check? And then the next is that even if it is believable, does what the test is checking really mean anything to your health?”Other worries include the privacy of the results and how your personal genetic information might be used by insurance (保险) companies to refuse your insurance or your boss to dismiss you. Or you could learn information with a huge social or personal impact (冲击), such as finding out that genetically you cannot possibly be the father of your child. It can also give you risks (风险) that may break your life, such as whether you are at high risk of cancer, Parkinson or other terrible diseases.Criticisms over the tests are such that some countries, such as Germany, have banned (禁止) them. In 2011, some scientists advised the US government that most tests should be done under the guidance of medical professionals (专家). The UK government also expressed its worries about DTC genetic tests and in August 2010 made a set of rules to guide the development of genetic tests.In 2011, three medical researchers published a review article in the International Journal of Clinical Practice, saying that such tests offered more risks than benefits. The most important reason is that the tests might create worries or unreal results or drive unnecessary medical treatments. They also noted some of the genetic information the tests are based on at present is far from being perfect.56. When did the research of human genes begin? A. In 1987. B. In 1993. C. In 2000. D. In 2006.57. What is the result of the medical worlds discussion about genetic tests? A. They are both good and bad for people. B. They are useful for some companies. C. They still remain the period of research. D. They have caused a lot of criticisms.58. The most important fact that causes the worries about genetic tests is that _. A. people are too weak to receive social or personal impact B. we are afraid of face the bad news that will break our life C. doing these tests is against the laws in a lot of countries D. little is known about genes and the information they carry59. What can we infer from the passage? A. Something must be done to stop genetic tests. B. Discussion about genetic tests is needed among people. C. More research work needs to be done about genetic tests. D. With the help of the government, genetic tests can develop fast.七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（共8分，每小题2分）A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep hole.
