A
Women have been making scientific discoveries since ancient times. Twelve women have won the Nobel Prize for science, one of the highest honors in the world. Some women scientists never married, some worked with their husbands, and others raised large families. It has been difficult for women to be successful scientists.
In the early 1800s in England, Mary Anning became one of the first women recognized for her discoveries about the ancient history of the earth. Mary and her father collected fossils（化石）in their village on the south coast of Great Britain. Fossils are parts of plants or animals that have been saved in rocks for millions of years.
When she was only twelve years old, Mary became the first person to find the almost complete skeletons（骨架）of several animals that no longer existed on earth. She didn’t become famous for her discoveries at that time because she often sold her fossils to get money to support her family.
In 1891, a young Polish woman named Marie Sklodowska traveled to Paris to study physics. She did so because she could not get a college education in Poland. She began working in the laboratory of a man named Pierre Curie. Marie and Pierre Curie got married and made many discoveries together. They received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 along with another scientist. Marie Curie became the first person to be awarded a second Nobel Prize in 1911, this time for Chemistry. Marie Curie was one of the few women at the time who became famous as a scientist. 31. The author believes that women scientists ______. A. have more opportunities to become successful B. can not get the highest honors in the world C. go through difficulties to be successful
D. had better pay more attention to their families 32. Mary Anning was one of the first women to ______. A. win the Nobel Prize for Science after getting married B. make achievements in the study of ancient Earth

C. research animals and their bones
D. study the mystery of all kinds of plants
33. Mary Anning failed to be famous for her discoveries of fossils when she was 12 because ______.
A. nobody recognized them B. they weren’t worth studying C. she didn’t want to be known to anyone D. she sold them for money 34. What can we learn about Marie Sklodowska?
A. She studied physics in Poland and got a college education. B. She received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 on her own. C. She only got one Nobel Prize during her lifetime.
D. She made many discoveries together with her husband after she got married. 35. What’s the passage mainly about? A. Ancient discoveries. B. Women scientists. C. Successful marriages. D. Different prizes.
B
When our second child was born, Jim and I thought she was perfect, but the doctor pointed out that her feet were turned inward. “Left uncorrected, it would be a problem,” he told us.
We decided to do anything we could to help our baby. When she was only two weeks old, I brought her back to the doctor, just as he had directed, and the doctor put her tiny feet into casts（模子）, her precious baby toes just barely visible. Because she was growing, I had to take her back to the doctor every two weeks to have each foot recast.
Eventually the casting was finished and it was time for corrective shoes and bars. Jim and I watched with hope and concern as she struggled to walk. Those first, awkward（笨拙的）steps made us so proud. By the time she entered preschool, her steps had appeared quite normal. Encouraged by her progress, we expected her to become much stronger.
When she turned six, we persuaded her to attend skating lessons and soon she was very good. Of course, she had to work hard at every new movement, but she loved the ice and her dedication（奉献）paid off. At fifteen, she competed in both pair skating and the ladies’ single skating at the 1988 World Junior Championships in Australia, winning both events! At the World Championships in 1991, she won the ladies’ single skating. Then we found ourselves filled with love and admiration in France, at the 1992 Winter Olympics, as our daughter, Kristi Yamaguchi won the gold medal.
I thought back to the early years of challenge for Kristi. During those years, we didn’t expect gold medals and professional career ahead of her. We respected her strength and hard work. In our eyes, Kristi had always walked in the life with the grace（优美）of a true champion.
36. According to the first paragraph, all the followings are true EXCEPT that
_________.
A. Jim is the author’s husband
B. the author’s second child is female

C. the author’s second child’s feet were normal D. the author’s second child’s feet were unusual
37. When the author’s daughter went to preschool, ________.
A. she tried to learn to walk B. she could not walk at all C. she walked with other’s help D. she seemed to walk normally 38. Paragraph 5 mainly tells us ____________.
A. the author’s daughter was worried about by her parents
B. the author’s daughter was hard-working and succeeded finally C. the author’s daughter spent a lot of money in learning to skate
D. the author’s daughter was encouraged to learn to skate by her parents
39. The author’s daughter won the gold medal in the Olympic Games at the age of _______. A. 19 B. 16 C. 18 D. 15 40. From this passage, we can know that the author was very _________. A. unlucky and sad B. kind and helpful C. happy and proud D. anxious and hopeless
C
As parents we like to make sure that our children are eating well and getting all the nutrients（营养）they need. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day.
A simple way to get children to eat vegetables is eating them ourselves. Following our example, they may start eating vegetables themselves. Don’t say things like that, “If you eat your vegetables, you can have dessert.” These methods work for a little while but can possibly lead them to hate vegetables more. Giving your child new varieties of foods will help her/him develop a taste for trying new things.
Sometimes the simple things just don’t work. We have to start becoming a little creative when it comes to making our children eat these vegetables. By doing this in the beginning when they are small, they will hopefully help them lean to love vegetables.
Think of creative ways to make children eat vegetables. For example, cut up vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, celery and assemble（聚集）them in a creative way on a plate with dip for an afternoon snack. Or try using cheese sauce either by dipping the vegetables or by putting the cheese right on top of the cooked or uncooked vegetables.
If you prefer, you can also add a teaspoon of sugar on top of cooked green beans and peas to give them a little sweeter taste. Doing this shouldn’t lead to a sweet tooth as long as you only give them a small amount.
If you have a child that refuses to eat vegetables, some of these suggestions I’ve listed will help to turn that around. In the end, you’re not just getting them to eat vegetables；you’re helping them live a healthier lifestyle.
41. Children need two to three kinds of vegetables every day because ________. A. their parents like to make sure that their children are eating well
B. they can get different nutrients by eating different kinds of vegetables C. parents like to make sure that their children are fond of eating vegetables
