22、A Day at the Nature Center

Emma stared (凝视) sadly out of the window of the bus. Only 50 miles outside town was the farm. She thought about the farm all the time, especially the animals.

When her family sold the farm and moved to nearby town, Emma was excited, got to the new school, she felt very lonely.

With a sigh (叹气), Emma turned her attention back to the present. The bus came to a stop. “Welcome to the Leinweber Nature Center,” her teacher said. “A guide will give us a presentation about animals, and then you’ll help to feed the baby squirrels. Now, I want everyone to find a partner. ”

Emma didn’t have any friends yet — who would be her partner? Emma got close to Julia, a talkative and outgoing girl. “Could I be your partner?” Emma asked uncertainly.

“Sure,” said Julia warmly.

Together, the girls walked into the center. After the presentation, a keeper showed them how to hold the bottle of milk for baby squirreLs. Then the girls started to feed their own baby squirrels.

After the babies finished eating, the keeper asked, “Would you like to help feed the adult squirrels, too?”

Emma was quick to volunteer, but when the keeper opened the first cage, the squirrel inside jumped out. Emma remained calm (镇静的), held out her hand, made quiet sounds, and then quickly got it.

“Wow!” Julia said. “You’re always so quiet, I thought you were afraid of everything, but you are brave.”

“I know that when animals are frightened or excited, you have to stay calm. ”

The keeper nodded in agreement and asked Emma, “Would you be interested in volunteering to help out with the animals at the center?”

“Interested? I would love to work here! What an opportunity!” Emma was excited.

That afternoon, in the bus on the way back to school, Emma sat next to Julia, her new friend. A rush of newfound happiness washed over her.

23、   What does an astronaut eat in apace? This is a question that will puzzle many people. In the early space travel years, astronauts ate dehydrated (脱水的) foods that were eaten through straws (吸管). In today’s space-age, the food that they eat is quite different. They eat food in the same way as people do on Earth.

Astronauts are able to prepare and eat a variety (多样化) of foods in space now. Some can be eaten in their natural form, like fruits, while some need to add water, like noodles. However, there are no fridges, so the food has to be prepared and eaten without being stored for a long time. When the astronauts are hungry, they simply eat the food by opening the food packages and eat with a fork, knife and spoon.

Just like people on Earth, astronauts also eat three meals a day which include breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sometimes they also eat snacks. The US space agency NASA has found out that an astronaut’s diet reduces (减少) by about 70% on a space mission, though he has a wide range of foods to choose from like nuts, chicken, beef, seafood and candies. Drinks in the spaceship include coffee, tea, juices, and lemonade.

Astronauts can also ask for a special food that they would like to have in space. Scientists are always experimenting and trying out different space foods that can be offered to astronauts when on space missions (任务).

【1】In the early space travel years, astronauts ________.

A. ate dehydrated food

24、

An elderly man once paid a visit to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, a famous 19th century poet and artist. The old man had some sketches (素描) and drawings that he wanted Rossetti to look at and tell him if they were any good.

Rossetti looked them over carefully. Soon, he knew that they were worthless, showing not the least sign of artistic talent. But Rossetti was kind, and he told the elderly man as gently as possible that the pictures were without much value.

The visitor was disappointed. He then said sorry for taking up Rossetti's time, but asked if he would just look at a few more drawings - these were drawn by a young art student. Rossetti looked over the second batch (一批) of sketches and immediately became interested in them. "These," he said, "Oh, these are good. This young student has great talent. He should be given praise and encouraged to continue in his career as an artist. He will have a great future if he works hard and keeps on trying."

Rossetti could see that the old fellow was deeply moved. "Who is this fine young artist?" Rossetti asked. "Your son?" "No," said the old man sadly. "It was me-40 years ago.

"Once upon a time, I was a boy who was so interested in drawing. I spent my free time going to the nature and drawing beautiful butterflies, mountains and forests and whatever I like. I got a feeling of satisfaction when sitting quietly near the river, watching and drawing. But people around me told me never to waste my time on drawing. They laughed at me for dreaming of being an artist as a son of a farmer. They kept advise me to work hard on the farm instead of day-dreaming and running away to avoid farming work."

"If only I had heard your praise then! For you see, I got discouraged and gave up too soon."

【1】What did Rossetti think of the old Man's drawings?

A．Excellent.

B．Worthless.

C．Interesting.

D．Boring.

【2】Which of the following is true?

A．Rossetti was the old man's drawing teacher and thought he was not talented in art.

B．Rossetti thought the second batch of sketches are as good as the first batch of drawings.

C．Rossetti thought the young art student should be encouraged to continue drawing.

D．Rossetti preferred to teach the old man's son to draw because of his drawing talent.

【3】What does the story want to tell us?

A．It's necessary to have a famous artist to be your teacher.

B．It's common to lose our talent in drawing when we grow up.

C．It's important to believe in ourselves and follow our dreams.

D．It's stupid to listen to people who laughed at your drawings.
