It was found by one of Bakers closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didnt put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current（水流）.“I still remember the day he wrote it,” Holbrook said. “ I couldnt understand why he threw it in the lake.

An Important Childhood Message 11 Years After His DeathBA blogger is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a blog. The word blog is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs . It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs . And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service weblogs. com. He says the site became too costly to continue . He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called The Weblog Handbook. It has been translated into four languages so far.Ms. Blood says Rebeceas Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything-politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.46.

If the things to be found are actually new, they must be unknown in advance You cannot make choices on this matter. You either have science or you dont and if you have it you have to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we dont know enough about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, a clear piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century to be told by any of us how little we know and how strange seems the way ahead . In earlier times, they either pretended to understand how things worked or simply made up stones to give answers. Now that we have begun exploring seriously, we are catching sight of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are sorry. It is not so bad being ignorantif you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning, and there ought to he some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that cant he answered, sooner or later. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, arid pay attention.51. According to the writer, really good science_.A. would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century.B. will help people to make the right choice in advance.C. will produced results which can be predictedD. will bring about disturbing results52. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century _.A. thought that they knew a great deal and could deal with most problems of scienceB. knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about natureC. were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research.D. did more harm than good in mans understanding nature53 .Which of he following is NOT mentioned about scientists in earlier times?A. They falsely declared to know all about nature.B. They did not believe in results from scientific observation.C. They paid little attention to the problems they didnt understand.D. They invented false rules to explain things they didnt understand.54.What is the writers attitude towards science?A. He is sorry because of the ignorance of scientistsB. He is delighted because of the latest scientific findingsC. He is doubtful because of the great difficulties in scientific research.D. He is confident though he knows well the great difficulties in scientific research.55.
