The Discovery was 36 to soar at 10:14 AM on a blue sky September day. Id seen it 37 so many times on television, 38 now I was only minutes away from seeing it launch. And its the final demonstration of the 39 of success: Success Takes Off Like a Rocket. Witnessing the Take Off: Standing close to the Space Shuttle 40 home one unforgettable pointthe Shuttle is the height of a 15-story buildingit 41 4.5 million poundsand NASA is trying to lift it 200 miles off the ground. On TV the acplishments look so much 42 , so much easier. Crowds of people are standing around with you to watch the Shuttle go. The countdown begins through the small 43 of hundreds of portable radios all tuned to the NASA station. Its enough to get your heart beating 44 . When time is up, the side booster rockets are lit up and the eight explosive bolts 45 . The first things you see are large white 46 clouds exploding away. Through the steam, you see the fire power. Then the Space Shuttle begins to inch off the pad and climb its way 47 . Thousands upon millions of pounds of 48 can hardly lift the shuttle at all. But with ever increasing ease, the shuttle picks up and roars into the sky, headed into space attaining a 49 of over 17,000 mph. It is within the first two minutes to launch the Space Shuttle that the great success lesson is 50 . Fact: 85% of the shuttles fuel is consumed within the first 2 minutes just to get the 15-story super structure to its orbital 51 . And thats exactly how success 52 : The first steps you take towards launching a successful career are the 53 and will require an enormous consumption of energya great big push.

BWind turbines are efficient sources of cheap energy but also a source of concern as their huge spinning blades (叶片) frequently kill birds and bats. A new type of wind generator developed in Spain offers a creative solution to that problem.In xx, Spanish inventor David Yanez saw a short film about the Taa Narrows Bridge in the U.S., collapsing in strong wind. It was a vivid example of the powerful vibrations wind can create when it blows past a long pole, such as a car antenna or even a stick of bamboo. It gave him the idea for a new type of wind-energy generator.“The initial philosophy or spirit was to create a generator of dreams that had all the qualities one would want: It should be as cheap as possible, need as little maintenance as possible, the setup as simple as possible,” he said.Yanez and his friend Raoul Martin took the idea to an engineering firm, where they were told it would never work. Undiscouraged, they started experimenting on their own in a small wind tunnel they built.Good initial results were repeated by a larger working model called Vortex (涡旋) installed in a nearby field. “What we have is a mast (桅杆), which is the top piece and acts as a blade,” Yanez said. “Its constructed from the same material as a conventional generator, and what it does is it oscillates (振荡), transmitting the oscillation to a conventional alternator, which by its own oscillation transforms the winds energy into electric energy.”Yanez said the output of the 6-meter-tall generator, and even that of smaller models, was better than expected. The Vortex creates about 30 percent less energy than a parable bladed wind turbine, but it is lighter and cheaper to build and maintain. It is made mostly of reinforced plastic and has very few moving parts. Also, it does not create noise andeven more important for many environmentalistsit does not present a threat to passing birds.The current prototype works at wind speeds ranging from 1.5 to 7 meters per second. The inventors say the next step is building a 12.5-meter tall bladeless generator with a 4-kilowatt capacity that could power small businesses or individual homes, or provide supplemental power to a main grid. The mercial version of the Vortex Bladeless generator should be ready for the market by xx.58. The author mentions a short film about the Taa Narrows Bridge to show _. A. what the initial philosophy or spirit wasB. what inspired Yanez to create the generator C. how the bridge was destroyed in strong windD. how wind creates powerful vibrations59. What do we know from the passage? A. The original idea was considered as practical in an engineering firm. B. The material for constructing the mast is different from that of the past. C. Yanez and Martins initial tests by themselves proved to be successful. D. The new generator is better at creating energy than a parable bladed one.60. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Bladeless wind-power generator is friendly to birds. B. Wind turbines are efficient sources of cheap energy. C. A new generator will e onto the market by xx. D. Yanez has made a generator for the benefit of people.CA report released this month found that grouping children by ability is on the rise again teaching students in groups of similar ability has improved achievement for fast and slow learners alikeand who wouldnt want bright kids to be able to move ahead, or strugglers to get the help they need? But for most kids, labels (标签) applied early in life tend to stick, even if they are wrong.Sorting school children by ability has long been controversial. In some countries, especially in Asia, school-wide tracking (分流) remains normal. Children are tested and placed in different schools that direct them toward professional or vocational careers. Movement between the tracks is rare.School-wide tracking decreased in U.S. schools in the 1960s and 70s. It never died out, though. Sorting students into separate tracks for math at about junior high school age continues to be mon, and other forms of tracking persist as well. Unlike tracking, which means sorting students into separate classrooms, ability grouping happens within classrooms. When done according to the latest research, it has proven to promote achievement. Ability grouping is changeable and temporary. Within classrooms, students might be divided into different learning groups dealing with materials of different levels. Any students who master concepts can move upward between groups, and the student groups might look different from subject to subject and unit to unit. For instance, a student who stands out in language arts might be at an average or slower level in math. A student who flies through multiplication tables might need extra help with fractions. Students who lag in reading can be pulled out of the classroom in small groups for practice with a tutor until their reading improves.Research shows ability grouping within classes has more positive benefits than tracking. However, that must be weighed against the challenges involved. In many regular classrooms, the differences between student ability levels are very big. That presents challenges for teachers and low-performing students to constantly pare themselves with students who seem to fly through school with ease.The rigid ability groups and tracking of the past are still with us in many schools. Likely, labels are applied with more caution than in the bad old days when some teachers gave reading groups not-so-secret code names like “Bluebirds”, “Robins”, “Crows” and “Buzzards”. But kids still know.61. Why is grouping children by ability being popular again? A. Because most teachers do not like slower learners. B. Because grouping children should be done early in life. C. Because it is academically beneficial to different learners. D. Because fast learners can move ahead without teachers help.62. By saying “Movement between the tracks is rare.” (Para 3), the writer really means_. A. tracking children is normal in Asia B. school-wide tracking has decreased in US C. professional and vocational careers are unrelated D. sorted students can hardly change schools 63. The examples in Paragraph 6 are used mainly to illustrate _. A. a good language learner promises to be good at maths B. a student might join different groups for different courses C. ability grouping benefits gifted students more than slow ones D. ability grouping presents no challenge for those slow students 64. What might be the challenge in regular classrooms for teachers? A. Students different levels. B. Students low performance. C. Constant self-parison. D. Application of not-so-secret code.DMy mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America. America was where all my mothers hopes lay. She had e here in 1949 after losing everything in China. But she never looked back with regret. There were so many ways for things to get better. “Of course you can be a prodigy, too,” my mother told me when I was nine. “You can be best at anything.” We didnt immediately pick the right kind of prodigy. At first my mother thought I could be a Chinese Shirley Temple. Wed watch Shirleys old movies on TV as though they were training films. My mother would poke my arm and say, “Ni kan” You watch. And I would see Shirley tapping her feet, or singing a sailor song, or pursing her lips into a very round O while saying, “Oh my goodness.”Soon after my mother got this idea about Shirley Temple, she took me to a beauty training school and put me in the hands of a student who could barely hold the scissors without shaking. Instead of getting big fat curls, I emerged with an uneven mass of crinkly black fuzz. My mother dragged me off to the bathroom and tried to wet down my hair. “You look like Negro Chinese,” she plained, as if I had done this on purpose.In fact, in the beginning, I was just as excited as my mother, maybe even more so. I pictured this prodigy part of me as many different images, trying each one on for size. I was a dainty ballerina girl standing by the curtains, waiting to hear the right music that would send me floating on my tiptoes. I was Cinderella stepping from her pumpkin carriage with sparkly cartoon music filling the air.In all of my imaginings, I was filled with a sense that I would soon bee perfect. My mother and father would adore me. I would be beyond reproach. I would never feel the need to sulk for anything. But sometimes the prodigy in me became impatient. “If you dont hurry up and get me out of here, Im disappearing for good,” it warned. “And then youll always be nothing.” Every night after dinner, my mother and I would sit at the Formica kitchen table. She would present new tests, taking her examples from stories of amazing children she had read and a dozen other magazines she kept in a pile in our bathroom. My mother got these magazines from
