11、、AMany years ago my student asked me the question, Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?

14、cher, and she was a 6th grade readi ng teacher un til her death in1990. She in stilled （逐漸灌輸）in me a love of readi ng and the kno wledge that educati on ope ns doors.Teaching is a way to make a differenee. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach theshore. You cant ha

I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full ofups and dow ns, and if I can help stude nts avoid some poth

16、oles on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyll allow me tocelebrate their victories with them, I want to do too.Teach ing isnt for every one, but I know I made the right career choice.26.

20、ly question. B. A good teacher who likes students.C. A con fused stude nt.D. The reas on why I teach.BCan people cha nge their skin color without sufferi ng like pop king Michael Jacks on? Perhaps yes. Scientists havefound the gene that determines skin color.The gene comes in two vers ions, one of w

21、hich is found in 99 per cent of Europea ns. The other is found in 93 to 100 per centof Africa ns, researchers at Penn sylva nia StateUni versity report inthe latest issue of Scie nee.Scie ntists have cha nged the color of a dark-striped zebrafish （斑馬魚(yú)） to uniform gold byinserting a version of the pi

22、gment （ 色素）gene into a young fish. As with humans, zebrafish skin color is determined bypigment cells, which contain melanin（黑色素） .The number, size and dark ness of mela nin per pigme nt cell determ ine skincolor.It appears that, like the golde n zebrafish, light-sk inned Europea ns also have a muta

23、ti on（ 變異）in the gene for melanin product ion. This results in less pigme nted skin.However, Keith Cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in huma n and zebrafish gen es.Humans acquired dark skin in Africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra

24、-violet rays of the sun （太陽(yáng)光紫外線 ）,which can cause skin cancer.But whe n moder n huma ns leave Africa to live in northern latitudes, they n eed more sun light on their skin to produce vitamin D. So the related gene cha nges, accord ing to Cheng.Asia ns have the same version of the gene as Africa ns,

25、so they probably acquired their light skin through the action ofsome other gene that affects skin color, said Cheng.The new discovery could lead to medical treatme nts for skin can cer. It also could lead to research into ways to change skincolor without damaging it like chemical treatment did on Mi

26、chael Jackson.31.

27、ple s skin color is determined by the gene32.

31、shameful, says Plato. Self-c on trol is at the root of all the adva ntages. Let a man give in to his impulses（沖動(dòng)） and feelings,and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A sin gle angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or an ger, he would check it byspea

32、k ing low in order to con trol himself. If you are con scious of being an gry, keep your mouth shut so that you can holdback rising an ger. Many a pers on has dropped dead in great an ger. Fits of an ger bring fits of disease. Whom the godswould destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George He

33、rbert, for fierce ness （狂怒）makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. An ger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly （ 愚蠢 ）and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feeli ngs he conq uers, not by thepower of those

34、which conq uer him.Self- control is man s last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patienee, no power to gover n himself;he can have no self-c on fide nee, for he will always be con trolled by his stron gest feeli ng. If he lacks self-c
