Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience.
One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didn’t you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you.”
With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But it’s wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And that’s why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know.”The learned man drew two circles to show _____.
| A．he was good at drawing circles |
| B．his knowledge had something to do with the circles |

| C．the students had fewer questions than the teacher |
| D．the students had more questions than 0the teacher |

| B．it’s never too old to learn |

Drugs come in different forms．However，can you imagine that drugs come in chicken eggs？A team of scientists from England prove that it can come true．They have developed special chickens that lay eggs with drugs inside．These special drugs can help treat some kinds of diseases．Until now，they have made two kinds of drugs．One drug can treat skin cancer and the other can treat a nerve disease （神经性疾病）．
Certain drugs are produced by the special chickens inside their egg whites．These drugs are made of proteins（蛋白质） which can be found in animals'skin，hair，milk and meat．The scientists also use DNA technology to make sure that the drugs are only inside the egg whites．In this way，the chickens can stay healthy．
Besides egg whites，drugs made of proteins come in milk of cows and sheep．Compared with cows and sheep，the special chickens have ascendancyover them．First，they are cheaper to raise．Second，they need less room and grow faster．
These special chicken can pass on their drug﹣producing ability to their children．So far，five generations （代） of the special chickens have appeared．But scientists may need more time to make the drugs perfect．It's said that scientists will realize their dream in five to ten years．

There are many kinds of amazing animals in the world．Have you ever watched one of them﹣Canada geese （雁）？They can teach us a lesson about teamwork（合作）．
In autumn，Canada geese have to fly to the warm south to get away from Canada'cold winter．When they leave the ground and rise into the air，they fly in no order．Then they quickly form a V shape，with one bird leading the group．
The V shape allows Canada geese to save energy．The head bird moves its wings（翅膀） up and down．The resulting（产生的） force of the air help lift the next bird．Each bird will do so until they get to the southern part．The bird at the head of the group has the hardest job．When it gets tired，another bird moves to the front and takes its place （代替它）．By sharing this job，the group can travel great distances．Canada geese flying in a V shape can fly seventy percent farther without having a rest than the birds flying alone．
During the long flying journey，Canada geese communicate with one another，They honk（鸣叫） to encourage the birds up front to keep up the speed．They also cheer one another up while working toward the same destination．
What have we learned from the lovely Canada geese's experience and skills？
Work together!Whether in our personal lives or our jobs，we need the spirit of teamwork!
