These prizes were named for Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist and inventor.Nobels inventions were concerned not only with explosives but also with synthetic rubber, leather, and artificial silk. The patents granted to him in different countries totaled 355. His most epoch-making inventions, besides dynamite and the blasting cap, were blasting gelatin and smokeless powder, the latter known as ba!listite. As a result of those inventions, he became a very wealthy man. He used part of his money to invest in oil. He made good investments and became even more wealthy.However, in spite of his great wealth, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or had children. Also, he was a sick man during a large part of his life. On December 10, 1896, Nobel died at the age of sixty-three in San Remo, Italy. He left all of his money in a trust fund. This money is held by a group of people who run the Nobel Foundation. The Nobel Foundation holds Nobels money and gives the prizes. Nobel, in his will, provided the capitalabout $8 311 000 at the then prevailing rate of exchangeto be invested by the executors in reliable securities, the interest of which was to be distributed annually in the form of prizes to those who have, during the preceding year, conferred the greatest benefit on mankind.31.

This age-old question touches, in another form, on the theory of evolution. Which came first, the plants or the insects, in particular the bees? If the plants came first, they would have had to be plants that could survive without pollination. If, however, they had no need for bees, there was no need for bees to evolve. Further, if plants were able to survive without bees, there was no need for plants to have a particular color or smell to attract bees, there being no bees to attract.A bee cannot exist by itself. It needs to be part of a unit, sixty thousand strong. Did one bee originally evolve on his own? Evolution believes that before the bees there were bee-like creatures going through various changes, evolving into what finally and suddenly became a fully developed nest with workers, drones and one queen. If this is so, the question that p,771es anti-evolutionists is how the stages took place and how the creatures survived meanwhile, and was there a stage at which the creatures were half bees and half something else.But the question here with regard to bees is the question of food. If the bees came first, what did they feed on? Perhaps on some other life form or, cannibalistically, on one another. There seems to be no record of this but, in this age, there has been a great deal of which there was no previous record, that has suddenly come to light. If bees come before the plants, it is clear that they managed to survive until the appearance of plants, and that whatever their first or original food, they eventually transferred their needs to plants. Equally, if the plants came first they must have had some way of survival that did not require the help of bees. If the evolutionists are right, it may also be that the plants underwent changes and that part of their evolution is concerned with passing from a form that could do without bees to a form that needed them.Anti-evolutionists will argue that neither needed to come first, that the two could have come into existence side-by-side and interdependently at the same time. But how, your evolutionist will say, could bees just have come into existence? There must have been some bee-like insect there before. And if this is so, what did it feed on? At which point we are back to the beginning again with the age-old question: Which came first, the plants or the insects, the chicken or the egg?36. This passage mainly tells us about（ ）.A. plant evolution B. insect evolution C. the ideas of the anti-evolutionists D. the theory of evolution37. From the passage we can learn that（ ）.A. bees cant exist unless there is a unit of sixty thousand strong.B. bees can survive by eating their companionsC. bees can only live on some kinds of plantsD. bees can mostly live on a bee keeper38. The phrase come to light（Para.3）possibly suggests that（ ）.A. something looks very bright B. something is becoming lightC. people become very clever D. people get to know the truth of something39. According to the passage the anti-evolutionists are those who（ ）A. are supporters of evolution B. insist on the egg coming before chickenC. are against the theory on evolution D. doubt all the living things40. Which of the following CANNOT be derived from the passage?A. Without the bees pollination the plants cant live on.B. In a fully developed nest there must be some queens, together with some other drones and workers.C. Evolution believes that beelike creatures which went through various changes, once existed before bees.D. The question which came first, the chicken or the egg still remains unknown.3.Parents foster all facets of their childs growth. Nourishing, protecting, guiding new life through the course of developmentthese are the tasks of a parent. Parents tend to have different ways to fulfill their tasks. Diana Baumrind, a child study expert, has conducted careful research on the effects of parents child rearing practices on childrens behavior. The findings suggest that parents who are accepting and who also provide structure and limits have the most competent children. Baumrind identified three patterns of childrearing:（1）authoritative;（2）authoritarian, and（3）permissive.Authoritative parents exercise firm control of the childs behavior but also emphasize the independence and individuality in the child. Although the parents have a clear notion of present and future standards of behavior for the child, they are rational, flexible and attentive to the needs and preferences of the child. Authoritative parents balance what they offer with what they demand. They balance high control with high independence-granting, high standards for maturity with much support and nurturance. Their children are self-reliant and self-confident and explore their worlds with excitement and pleasure.Authoritarian parents employ a similar firm control, but use it in an arbitrary way without regard for the childs individuality. They emphasize control, without nurturance or support to achieve it. Authoritarian parents, who value obedience as a virtue, and believe in restricting the childs autonomy, do not encourage verbal give and take. They believe that the child should accept the parents words for what is right. Children of authoritarian parents, relative to other groups of children, are unhappy, withdrawn, inhibited, and distrustful.Permissive parents set few limits on the child. They are accepting of the childs impulses, giving as much freedom as is possible while still maintaining physical safety. They appear cool and uninvolved. Permissive parents sometimes allow behavior that angers them, but they do not feel comfortable enough with their own anger to express it. As a result, the anger builds up to an unmanageable level. They then lash out and are likely to hurt the child more than they want to. Their children are the least independent and self-controlled and could be best classified as immature.It can be easily seen that the authoritative pattern is more closely related to greater Competence in children than either the authoritarian or the permissive pattern. Children of authoritative parents are more likely to become responsible, competent adults who are appropriately controlled and happy. Children growing up with the other two types of parents tend to be impulsive, moody adults who find it difficult to control aggression. 41. The main purpose of Diana Baumrinds research is（ ）A. to study the importance of childrens developmentB. to study the effects of parents firm control of the childs behaviorC. to study childrens behaviorD. to study the effects of parents childrearing practices on childrens behavior42. The followings are the tasks of a parent EXCEPT（ ）.A. nourishing B. protecting C. guiding D. punishing43. Authoritative parents will do the following except that they（ ）.A. pay no attention to the childs behaviorB. emphasize the independence and individuality in the childC. have a clear notion of present and future standards of behavior for the childD. balance what they offer with what they demand44. Children growing up with authoritarian parents are likely to be（ ）.A. self-confident B. active C. withdrawn D. independent45. It can be seen from the passage that（ ）.A. the authoritative pattern is more closely related to greater competence in childrenB. the authoritarian pattern is more likely to have competent childrenC. children of permissive parents are more likely to become responsible adultsD. children of authoritative parents tend to be impulsive, moody adults4.Valentines Day is of course traditionally associated with expressions of romantic love, but the American Academy of Pediatrics（美国儿科研究院）have said that Valentines Day is a good opportunity for parents to tell their children they love them.In the stressful（紧张）and complex modem world, it is important to take advantage of every opportunity to reflect（反思）and make sure that fundamental things are not ignored（忽视）every day.To help parents, the Academy issued a list of 10 ways mom and dad can show their love for their children, in relevant ways.The list is really a reminder of what parents should be doing all year around.Like many good ideas, the suggestions are fairly obviousThe list includes the following suggestions:.Start to care for your child before he or she is bom by avoiding drugs, alcohol, and tobacco.Set aside a regular time for reading, to help a childs brain development.Even young babies enjoy the attention and the sound of a parents voice, and children of all ages will benefit from a love of reading.Keep your childs health records up-to-date.Check your home for potential hazards（可能的危险）, for example, make sure that medicines and cleaning supplies are stored safely.Check your car to ensure that child safety seats are correctly installed（安装）.Talk to your childs caregivers to be certain your child is receiving healthy and developmentally appropriate care.Use plenty of positive, encouraging words when speaking to your child, to nurture self-esteem.Set a good example at home and in public, taking care to use good manners.Monitor（控制）your childs activities by limiting the kinds and amounts of television he or she watches and enforcing（强制执行）bedtime and homework rules.Remember to give lots of hugs and other gestures of affection（关爱的表示）.Showing your child love means protecting them, providing emotional security, and being a good role model.
