21、In my first week as a graduate student at Cambridge University in 1964 I met with a fellow student, two years ahead of me in his studies; he was unsteady on his feet and spoke with great difficulty．This was Stephen Hawking．I learned that he had a bad disease and might not live long enough even to finish his PhD degree．

But, amazingly, he has reached the age of 73．Even mere survival would have been a medical miracle, but of course, he didn’t merely survive．He has become arguably the most famous scientist in the world for his brilliant research, for his bestselling books, and, above all, for his astonishing victory over hardship．

Stephen received his “death sentence” in 1964, when I thought it was hard for him to go on with his study．Stephen went from Albans School to Oxford University．He was said to be a “lazy” undergraduate, but his brilliance earned him a first   class degree, an “entry ticket” to a research career in Cambridge and a uniquely inspiring achievement．Within a few years of the burst of his disease he was wheelchair   bound, and his speech was so unclear that it could only be understood by those who knew him well．But his scientific career went from strength to strength: he quickly came up with a series of insights into the nature of black holes (then a very new idea) and how the universe began．In 1974 he was elected to the Royal Society at the exceptionally early age of 32．

The great advances in science generally involve discovering a link between phenomena that were previously conceptually unconnected — for instance, Isaac Newton realized that the force making an apple fall to earth was the same as the force that holds the moon and planets in their orbits．Stephen’s revolutionary idea about a link between gravity and quantum(量子) theory has still not been tested．However, it has been hugely influential; indeed, one of the main achievements of string theory(弦理论) has been to confirm and build on his idea．He has undoubtedly done more than anyone else since Einstein to improve our knowledge of gravity and he is one of the top   ten living theoretical physicists．

【1】What impressed the author most about Stephen Hawking?

A．His brilliant research．

B．His bestselling books．

C．His serious disease．

D．His defeating hardship．

【2】What made Stephen Hawking start his research career at Cambridge?

A．His death sentence．

B．His “lazy” attitude．

C．His above average talent and ability．

D．His rich experience．

【3】It can be inferred that Stephen Hawking was born ________．

A．in the early 1940s

B．in the late 1940s

C．in the early 1930s

D．in the late 1930s

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．Hawking’s theory was proved years ago．

B．Hawking was not as successful as Newton．

C．String theory built on Hawking’s idea．

D．Hawking’s theory has had little influence on others．

【5】Which of the following is Not True according the passage?

A．He achieved one success after another in his career despite his disease．

B．He couldn’t walk when the author first met him at Cambridge．

C．He not only survived his disease but contributed greatly to science．

D．He is among the greatest scientists to improve the knowledge of gravity．

22、VCU Cabell First Novelist Award

Current Winner

John Englchardt has won the 19th award for Bloomland (Dzanc Books) .

About the Award

The VCU Cabell First Novelist Award honors an outstanding novelist's first work published in the previous calendar year. Winning novelists have written different books, but each is powerful enough in its own way to have moved initial readers and final judges toward the conclusion that, among a field of roughly a hundred submissions annually, its writer has achieved something remarkable and permanent.

How the Award Works

Twice a year, the administrative team sends out a nationwide call for submissions from publishers, editors, agents, and writers themselves. The first round of evaluations is made by volunteer readers. Their rankings and feedback guide the judging process toward three or four finalists, from whom the First Novelist Committee and the winner from the previous year choose the winner of the award. Then the winning author appears at a public reading and Q&A session, followed by a book signing and reception, which focus on the creation, publication, and promotion of a first novel. Travel expenses to and lodging in Richmond for the author and the additional speakers are provided, and the author receives a $5, 000 cash prize.

24、   While many people aren’t getting enough calcium, new research cautions that some people may have the opposite problem: They could be getting too much. Americans spend more than

$1 billion a year on calcium supplements in hopes of delaying osteoporosis, the brittle bone disease that cripples many elderly women and some men. Yet recent studies link calcium supplements to a higher risk of heart attacks. Last month, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft recommendation against taking calcium and vitamin D, saying there wasn't enough evidence of benefit to justify the risk.

For generations of Americans who grew up encouraged to drink milk to maintain strong bones, the reports raised troubling questions: Is calcium not so important after all? Are the supplements unsafe? And how much is too much? “It's gotten very confusing but it doesn't need to be,” says Ethel Siris, director of the Toni Stabile Osteoporosis Center in New York. How much calcium people need varies by age and gender. “Adults generally need 1,000 mg daily, rising to 1,200 mg for women over 50 and men over 70, according to guidelines issued in 2010. Children need 1,300 mg daily during the peak growing years of 9 to 18.”

People also need sufficient levels of vitamin D to absorb the calcium. The IOM recommends 600 international units a day for most adults, and 800 daily after age 70, although many physicians recommend more. It is difficult to take in that much vitamin D from food sources, so experts say many people should take vitamin D in supplement form.

Getting adequate calcium from food is easier. For example, 8 ounces of milk or 6 ounces of yogurt has 300 mg of calcium, and one cup of spinach has 270 mg.

But studies linking calcium supplements to heart attack have made experts more cautious of excess calcium than before. A study of 24,000 Germans published in the journal Heart last month, found that those who got their calcium exclusively from supplements were more than twice as likely to have a heart attack as those who took no supplements.

Exactly how calcium supplements might contribute to heart attacks baffles cardiologists. “Nobody has associated the calcium in your bloodstream with calcification in your arteries,” says Nieca Goldberg, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center. Still, she says she now urges patients get their recommended calcium from food than from supplements to avoid possible problems.

Osteoporosis experts also urge patients not to take more than the recommended amount of calcium. “People should definitely stop taking two big calcium supplements a day,” says Dr. Dawson-Hughes. Even if the risks remain unclear, taking more than the body can absorb doesn't benefit bones, “so it’s not worth any risk.” She adds.

【1】According to the new studies, taking much calcium might ________.

A．delay aging

B．build muscles

C．cause heart problems

D．cure bone diseases

【2】What is Ethel Siris’ opinion on taking calcium supplements?

A．Taking calcium supplements is unsafe.

B．Adults need more calcium than children.

C．Age and gender determine taking calcium.

D．It is much safer to take calcium from food.

【3】What does the underlined word “baffle” in Paragraph 6 mean?

A．Interest

B．Puzzle

C．Amaze

D．Frighten

【4】What can we learn from the passage?

A．It is helpful to take two calcium supplements a day.

B．It is important to maintain strong bones for women.

C．It is unnecessary to take too much calcium supplement.

D．It is best to take calcium and vitamin D from supplement.
