His mother. then said, “You know , what we have here is a failed experiment in how to carry a big milk bottle with two small hands .Let’s go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it “ The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the op near the lip(容器的嘴)with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it What a wonderful lesson!

It was the last day of the final examination in a university. A group of students entered the classroom happily. This was their last exam. They knew it would
be easy. The professor had said that they could bring any book or note they wanted. The only requirement(要求) was that they couldn’t talk with each other.
The professor handed out the papers. They were glad to find there were only five questions. Three hours passed. The professor asked, "How many of you have finished all the five questions?" None of the students answered.
"How many of 3’ou have finished four?" No answers again.
"Thee? Two?" The students moved restlessly (不安地) in their seats.
"One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one." But the class remained silent.
"That is exactly what I expected," the professor said. "I just want to teach you a lesson--although you have completed four years of study, there are still many
things you don’t know about." Then be added, "You will all pass the exam, But remember: even though you are graduating from college, your education has just begun."During the exam, the students could __
A. not take their notes

C. not talk with each other
D ask the professor for helpHow many students passed the exam at last?

| C．Half of them. | D．All of them. |

A The students thought the exam would be difficult.
B. The questions on the paper were easy to answer.
C. The professor had known the results of the exam.
D. The professor wasn’t satisfied with of the exam.
In the past, man did not have to think about the protection of his environment. There were not many people on earth, and natural resources seemed to be unlimited.
Today, things are different. The world has become too crowded. We are using up our natural resources too quickly, and at the same time we are polluting our environment with dangerous chemicals. If we continue like this, human life on earth will not survive.
Everyone realizes today that if too many fish are taken from the sea, there will soon be none left. Yet, with modern fishing methods, more and more fish are caught. We know that if too many trees are cut down, forests will disappear and nothing will grow on the land. Yet, we continue to use bigger and more powerful machines to cut down more and more trees.
We realize that if rivers are polluted with waste products from factories, we will die. However, in most countries waste products are still put into rivers or into the sea, and there are few laws to stop this.
We know, too, that if the population of the world continues to rise at the present rate, in a few years, there will not be enough food.
What can we do to solve these problems?
If we eat more vegetables and less meat, we will easily get more food. Land that is used to grow crops can feed five times more people than land where animals are kept.
The world population will not rise so quickly if people use modern methods of birth control.
Finally, if we educate people to think about the problems, we shall have a better and cleaner living place in the future.
