he asked his mother. conley said she would save up her sick days at work, going in no matter how she felt. then in december, the company would pay her for the unused sick days. more help came in castoffs (废弃物), when wealthy families would clean out their toy chests at christmastime and take a load of toys to the salvation army. conley would pick through them, finding the best ones for her children. the result of those sacrifices led to a big, happy christmas for conley and her kids. but i never did tell you it was a santa claus, conley said, i couldnt give any man credit for what i had done. johnson thanked his mom for her sacrifices, and for the good example she set for him and his siblings. i think its helping us all be better parents, johnson said.in 1975, conley retired from detroits outer drive hospital. jerry was a sophomore in college at that time. he later graduated from washington university medical school and received a degree in internal medicine and pediatrics. 26. how did johnson feel about christmas when he was a kid? a. pleased. b. disappointed. c. awful d. indifferent. 27. conley never asked for her sick leave so that she _.a. could spend christmas with her children b. wouldnt be fired by the companyc. could earn more moneyd. would leave a good impression on her colleagues28. how did conley struggle to send the children christmas gifts? a. by visiting the salvation army b. by picking up gifts of low prices. c. by begging rich families for help. d. by helping clean out toy chests. 29. paragraph 6 shows that conley _.a. didnt believe in god then b. was proud of what she did c. was complaining about her bad luck d. wasnt willing to ask others for help 30. from the passage we can know that _. a. johnson sensed his mothers despair when he was young b. conley was an optimistic but stubborn woman c. johnson landed a job in conleys company finally d. conley had great influence on her beach year, about 10,000 to 100,000 animal species die off. they join the countless species that have gone extinct (灭绝) over the course of earths history - and extinction means forever. at least it used to. scientists are now closing in on the ability to bring back extinct species. no, this doesnt mean the plot of jurassic park is going to become a reality. researchers need dna to bring back a species. dna is the chemical that carries the structure for a living thing. dinosaurs have been gone too long for any of their dna to remain in fossils.but theres a very real chance that we will be able to bring back more recently extinct species. this could even include ice age animals like the woolly mammoth. in 2003, a team of spanish and french scientists re-created the pyrenean ibex, which had gone extinct three years earlier. the new animal didnt survive long, but scientific advances should improve the success rate. in january, australian scientists announced that they were on their way to bringing back the gastric brooding frog.that we can bring species back doesnt mean that we should. there may be benefits to reviving a species. but theres no way to know how it will turn out. for example, would a passenger pigeon fit into its old habitat? or might it crowd out existing species?environmentalists worry that our ability to bring species back might cut down support for the hard work of traditional conservation. why worry about preserving a wildlife habitat or fighting poachers if we know we can just make up for our mistakes?but those extinctions are our mistakes to correct, which may give us an obligation （义务） to do so. as businessman and environmentalist stewart brand recently said, humans have made a huge hole in nature. we have the ability now to repair some of that damage.we would do well to remember the lesson of jurassic park: proceed with caution.31. why is the plot of jurassic park not going to become a reality? a. because dinosaurs are forbidden to be brought back to life. b. because it is impossible for scientists to bring back extinct huge animals. c. because scientists are not interested in bringing back dinosaurs. d. because it is impossible to find dna of dinosaurs in fossils.32. the pyrenean ibex was mentioned to show that _. a. scientists are only able to bring back small speciesb. scientists are likely to bring back recently extinct speciesc. scientists have managed to bring back ice age species d. animals can live very well after being brought back to life33. paragraph 3 mainly shows that bringing back extinct species is _. a. harmful b. realistic c. double-edged d. beneficial 34. what makes environmentalists worried according to the passage? a. that scientists cannot make up for the mistakes that they made in the past. b. that traditional conservation might be of no use by bringing species back. c. that scientists could lack the ability to bring back extinct species to life. d. that species that will be brought back to life will not survive long.35. what is the probable attitude of stewart brand toward bringing extinct species back to life? a. supportive. b. indifferent. c. disapproving. d. worried.ctravel back in timeenter the eyewitness to history contestdont let history pass you by. enter the wr news eyewitness to history contest! interview a person who has lived through a historic event, and send us the write-up. well select one first-prize winner to receive $200, and well publish his or her essay in wr news. two runners-up（亚军）will receive $50 each and a mention in the magazine.heres what to do: interview someone, such as a neighbor, a grandparent, or a parent, who has witnessed a historic event. you might also consider a member of a local senior center or historical society, a family friend, or a teacher at your school. focus on a historic event that the person has lived through. experiences might include fighting in the iraq war, grooving（尽情享受）at the woodstock music festival in 1969, or participating in the civil rights movement. local events also make great stories.
