A Hard-working Student

After a while she went to see a doctor, “I just can’t go to sleep at night. What should I do?” “I have a suggestion (建议),” said the doctor, “Try counting numbers. By the time you reach one thousand, you will be asleep. I’m sure of it.”
The next day the student returned to the doctor’s office. “Well,” said the doctor, “How are you today? Did you try my suggestion?” The student still looked tired. “Yes,” she said, “I tried counting one, two, three...up to one thousand. But when I reached five hundred and sixty-nine, I began to feel sleepy. I had to get up and drink some coffee so that (以便) I could go on counting up to one thousand. But then I still couldn’t fall asleep.”

Take a look at the label(标签) on almost any bottle of milk and you may see the word PASTEURIZED. What does that mean? Let’s find out by meeting Louis Pasteur.
Louis Pasteur was born in 1822 in a little town in France. As he grew up, he loved to paint. He loved to look at the world around him. When he went to college in Paris, he showed interest in looking through a microscope. A microscope makes things look a lot bigger; it lets you see things you can’t see just with your eyes. Looking through a microscope, Pasteur found a living world in a drop of water. He saw and drew pictures of the small living things -- he called them “microbes” or “germs”-- that crowded in a drop of water.
One day a winemaker came into the lab, hoping that someone could help him with his problem. “Sometimes my wine tastes delicious, but sometimes terrible,” he said to Pasteur. “Can you help me find out why?”
Pasteur put some drops of the wine under the microscope. He noticed that the terrible wine had some unusual germs. If he killed these germs, maybe he could keep the wine from turning terrible. He tried with different ways to kill the germs. In the end he found heating (加热) the wine seemed to work best. The winemaker tried it, and every bottle of wine tasted good.
Pasteur’s idea worked for other people, too. When farmers heated milk, it didn’t turn bad so quickly. When breweries heated beer, it tasted better. People called it “pasteurization” ---heating a liquid to kill bad germs. Aren’t you glad that the milk you drink has been pasteurized?
The Chinese meaning for the word “microbes” is____.

Which is the right order in Pasteur’s life story?
(1). He received college education in Paris.
(2) He helped to find some unusual germs in some drops of wine.
(3) A new way of killing bad germs--pasteurization was found out.
(4)He was born in 1822 in a little town in France.
(5) Microbes were found by Louis Pasteur with the help of a microscope.

What do you think Louis Pasteur was like from the passage?

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

What does the passage mainly tell us?

A small boy lived with his mother and grandmother in a big house. His father had died.
A bucket（桶）of water fell on the small boy’s left foot, and it began hurting a hot. His mother said, “I’m going to put something very hot on your foot tonight. That’s always very good. Tomorrow your foot won’t hurt any longer.”
In the evening, the small boy’s mother came to his bedroom. She had a hot poultice（膏药）in a bowl. The small boy looked at it and said, “I don’t want that. I had one a month ago. Poultices hurt.”
His mother sat down on his bed and said, “You’re going to have this poultice on.” She pulled his sheets（床单）and blankets（毯子）away, and put the poultice near his foot, but the boy pulled it away quickly, and poultice fell on the bed.
His mother was angry. She went down stairs and came back with his grandmother and a stick. She said to her son, “Your grandmother’s going to put the poultice on your foot, and I’m going to hold this stick. Now don’t be a stupid boy.”

The grandmother brought the poultice near the foot again, and the boy stopped her again, but his mother was angry now and said, “I’m going to hit you.” The boy did not finish his words, and his grandmother put the poultice on his foot. He let it there for a few minutes and then took it off again.
