There was once a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. Once he was asked how he was able to be so creative. He replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 7 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the refrigerator. But the bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. The kitchen floor was covered in milk.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”
So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together. Then his mother said, “This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let’s go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”
The little boy learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. He learned that mistakes are just opportunities (机会) to learn something new, which is, after all, what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment doesn’t “work”, we can still learn something valuable from it.
24. What did Robert’s mother do after he made the mess?
A. She asked him to clean the kitchen.
B. She allowed him to play in the mess.
C. She shouted at him and punished him.
D. She showed him a huge puddle of milk.
25. Which word can best describe Robert’s mother?
A. Smart. B. Careful. C. Hardworking. D. Protective.
26. What life lesson can we learn from the passage?
A. We should treat life as a big experiment.
B. We should keep an open mind about mistakes.
C. We should learn something from scientific experiment.
D We should love our mothers with whole heart and soul.
C
Do you remember where you were when you heard about a traffic accident involving a close friend? The answer is probably yes. Do you remember what you were doing on your birthday that year? You may have to think a little harder.
People remember bad memories more easily and in greater detail than good ones. Why is that? A new study found that people do this because of evolutionary (进化的) reasons.
Elizabeth Kensinger and her partners at Boston College, US, did a study looking at this. They found that negative (消极的) feelings like fear and sadness cause an increase in brain activity. This activity happens in the part of the brain that controls memories. So memories caused by negative feelings are kept in greater detail than other kinds of memories. For example, after seeing a man on a street holding a knife, people remember the knife clearly, but they forget the details of the street.
According to Kensinger, it is easy to understand this from an evolutionary point of view. She said that people pay attention to dangerous information so they can use that information to guide their actions and save their lives. They can also use it to plan for similar events in the future.
The scientists say more studies are needed on how we remember bad memories. This line of research could help solve stress disorders.
In short, the reason we remember bad things more firmly and clearly is actually a “survival skill” passed down to us by our ancestors. Our brains pay extra attention to dangerous information to help us avoid harm and survive better. However, there are still many details behind this waiting for scientists to discover. Now, when you think of the bad things that left a deep impression on you, do you understand why your brain “makes a point to remember” them?
27. Good memories are remembered ________ than bad ones.
A. longer B. less often C. more easily D. more in detail
28. When a girl breaks into tears, ________.
A her brain activity will increase B. she probably has a stress disorder
C. she can control her memories well D. her brain activity will be kept in great detail
29. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. Brain activity controls memories B. How we remember bad memories
C. Bad memories are easier to remember D. Bad memories can cause stress disorders
D
Changing who we are inside
It’s long been a scientific dream: to give people a special vaccine (疫苗) before birth to stop them from getting terrible illnesses. Gene editing (基因编辑) is one way in which we could do this. But this method has also created some controversy (争议).
In an online video posted on Nov 26, He Jiankui, a researcher at the Southern University of Science and Technology, said that he had helped to make the world’s first genetically edited babies. The babies are twin girls who were born in November. Their father had HIV (艾滋病病毒). The twins’ genes were edited in order to keep them from being infected by HIV.
He said he chose to do this because HIV is widespread in the world. “I feel such a strong responsibility not only to be the first to do this, but also to set an example.” He told AP.
But his actions raised many questions. Although gene editing may help to prevent disease, many people are wondering if it is safe and ethical (道德) to use it on humans.
Some believe that gene editing could benefit HIV patients. HIV is “a major and growing public health threat (威胁),” according to Harvard Medical School George Church. Using gene editing for HIV is “justifiable (无可非议的).” Church told AP.
However, others think that gene editing is still in its experimental stages and could result in unexpected mutations (突变). It could cause genetic problems later in life, including the development of cancer, Julian Savulescu from the University of Oxford told BBC News.
Besides, the Ministry of Science and Technology of China has worked with other departments to investigate He Jiankui’s project. In an open letter released on Nov 27,140 Chinese HIV researchers described the research as “unethical”. They questioned the need for He Jiankui’s project.
Others fear that some wealthy people might use gene editing technology to make “designer babies (定制宝宝)”. It would give parents the ability to choose everything from their baby’s eye color to their intelligence. “You could find wealthy parents buying the latest ‘upgrades (升级)’ for their children, leading to even greater inequality (不平等) than we already live with,” Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics, told BBC News.
30. What do we know about He Jiankui?
A. He was the first person to edit genes.
B. He was the first person whose genes were edited.
C. He made the world’s first genetically edited babies.
D. He cured twins with HIV when he edited their genes.
31. What does the word “infected” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A Cured. B. Attacked. C. Discovered. D. protected.
32. Julian Savulescu said gene editing ________.
A. can cure disease B. will raise ethical questions
C. may lead to greater inequality D. may cause unexpected mutations
33. According to the story, we know that gene editing is ________.
A. justifiable to use B. still controversial
C. good for everyone D. good for wealthy people

At an early age, we start learning how to manage money by watching our parents’ spending habits. Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits.
Money doesn’t grow on trees. As kids, we don’t often think about where money comes from. We need to know that our parents work hard to make money, and that it may be used up one day. Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make.
We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算). In other words, we need to think about how much money we have and what we really want to spend it on. Realizing that our pocket money can’t cover everything we want, we should make smart spending choices.
We should set a clear goal and watch our money grow. If we wish to own a new bicycle but can’t afford it, we can save our pocket money. How? Write down how much money we have in a notebook and watch it grow. After we have enough, we can buy that wonderful bicycle we’ve dreamed about! Reaching our goal will greatly satisfy us.
We can talk with our parents about how money is used and where money goes. Do you know what a bank account (账户) is? If not, communicate with our parents. We can also go to the supermarket with our parents to experience how money is spent in the real world.
Without doubt, we should treat money in a right way. Actually, learning about money isn’t a hard job. From these lessons, we can get a sense of money management and right money values step by step!
34. What is a great way to understand that money is not easy to make?
__________________________________________________
35. What do we need to think about when making a budget?
__________________________________________________
36. How can we watch our money grow when saving for a new bicycle?

37. Do you have good spending habits? How can we form good spending habits? (Please give two ways.)

I’m Li Hua, from Class l, Grade 9.
Our school did a survey on winter social practice activities among 100 students. 35% of students are interested in museum tours. 37% prefer community service. And 28% choose learning life skills. The result shows different interests.
I plan to join community service. First, it lets me help neighbors in need, like looking after the elderly. Second, I can learn to work with others and become more responsible. It will be a meaningful experience.
I really hope this winter practice can help all of us grow more, and I’m looking forward to enjoying every minute of the activity with my classmates.
