or fourth in a class of about 20 students.if he really was good at any subject,it was,perhaps,physical education.he was an excellent soccer player,yet not as good as his brother.this was niels bohr,the worldfamous nobel prize winning physicist.born to a physiology(生理学) professor,niels lived in a world of ideas and discussion from his very early childhood at home.he developed an interest in physics and mathematics from the early days of his education.with no laboratory available in school and college,he would perform experiments in his fathers laboratory.his first work on surface tension was done here,for which he won the gold medal in 1906 from the royal danish academy of sciences.early in his scientific career,bohr made great contributions to the understanding of atomic(原子的) structure based on quantum mechanics(量子力学).neils bohr came up with the model of an atom which was able to explain all the properties(性质) of the atom.it is this atomic model that is accepted even today with only very slight improvements.this work won him the nobel prize for physics in 1922.when the nazis controlled denmark,his life became difficult.he had to escape to sweden in 1943 in a fishing boat；from there he fled to england.england opened up opportunities of working on the atom bomb(原子弹).after a few months he joined a british research team and went to los alamos in the united states where the team continued to work on the project.niels was also deeply concerned with making people realize the destructive power of the atomic bomb.he published a letter to the united nations in 1950 which asked them to help get rid of nuclear(核的) weapons in the world.this and his other activities won bohr the first u.s.atoms for peace award in 1957.he spent his remaining years showing people that nuclear energy must be used in a positive and productive way.1.who probably helped niels bohr develop an interest in physics?a.his brother. b.his mother.c.his teacher. d.his father.2.niels bohr received the nobel prize mainly because of_.a.his physical educationb.his atomic modelc.his understanding of quantum mechanicsd.his work on surface tension3.niels bohr did his research work on the

weaponsc.nuclear energy has been used in quite a few waysd.niels would like to go on with his research workbin my living room,there is a plaque(匾) that advises me to “bloom(开花) where you are planted.” it reminds me of dorothy.i got to know dorothy in the early 1980s,when i was teaching early childhood development through a program with union college in barbourville,kentucky.the job responsibilities required occasional visits to the classroom of each teacher in the program.dorothy stands out in my memory as one who “bloomed” in her remote area.dorothy taught in a school in harlan county,kentucky,appalachian mountain area.to get to her school from the town of harlan,i followed a road winding around the mountain.in the eightmile journey,i crossed the same railroad track five times,giving the possibility of getting caught by the same train five times.rather than feeling excited by this drive through the mountains,i found it depressing.the poverty level was shocking and the small shabby houses gave me the greatest feeling of hopelessness.from the moment of my arrival at the little school,all gloom(忧郁) disappeared.upon arriving at dorothys classroom,i was greeted with smiling faces and treated like a queen.the children had been prepared to show me their latest projects.dorothy told me with a big smile that they were serving poke greens salad and cornbread for “dinner” (lunch).in case you dont know,poke greens are a weedtype plant that grows wild,especially on poor ground.dorothy never ran out of reports of exciting activities of her students.her enthusiasm never cooled down.when it came time to sit for the testing and interviewing required to receive her child development associate certification,dorothy was ready.she came to the assessment and passed in all areas.afterward,she invited me to the oneandonly steak house in the area to celebrate her victory,as if she had received her ph.d.degree.after the meal,she placed a little box containing an old pen in my hand.she said it was a family heirloom(传家宝),but to me it is a treasured symbol of appreciation and pride that cannot be matched with things.5.“early childhood development” in paragraph 1 refers to_.a.a program directed by dorothyb.a c
