     Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made.Although we
were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and
insects.Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages.I was not an early reader and I could not do
mental arithmetic.
     Before World War ? we spent our summer holidays in Hungary.I have only the dim memory of the
house we lived in, of my room and my toys.Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts,
uncles and cousins who gathered next door.But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals,
the local birds, and above all, the insects.
     I am a naturalist, not a scientist.I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm led me
into varied investigations.I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while
reading about other people"s observations and discoveries.Then something happens that brings these
observations together in my conscious mind.
     Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together.This has
resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific
research.
     But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make
a scientist:one of the outstanding and essential qualities required is selfdiscipline, a quality I lack.A
scientist requires not only selfdiscipline, but hard training, determination and a goal.A scientist, up to a
certain point, can be made.A naturalist is born.If you can combine the two, you get the best of both
worlds.

1. The first paragraph tells us the author________.

A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B. lost his hearing when he was a child
C. didn"t like his brothers and sisters
D. was born to a naturalist"s family

2. The author can"t remember his relatives clearly because________.

A. he didn"t live very long with them
B. the family was extremely large
C. he was too young when he lived with them
D. he was fully occupied with observing nature

3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author is a naturalist, but not a scientist.
B. The author is a scientist as well as a naturalist.
C. The author is first of all a scientist.
D. The author is neither a naturalist nor a scientist.

4. The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he________.

A. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic
B. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientist
C. just reads about other people"s observations and discoveries
D. comes up with solutions in a most natural way

     My friend Robert started a new job this week and he"s been in the training class for two days. The
employer has a very strict dress code-dark blue shirts and pants.
     On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly
told that he would be fired if he didn"t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, "Sir, I had been
told about this, but because of my larger size, it"s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price
I can afford."
      Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn"t lose the chance of work simply because
he couldn"t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in
case it was needed.
     When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. "You have 10
minutes to be in proper clothes," he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have
10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a
shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
     The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn"t accept such a gift from a stranger.
Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn"t return them-a little white
lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
     "My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn"t have enough to buy the
clothes," he told Robert. "It"s unbelievable to me that a person would do such a thing for only knowing
me a day!"
     More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.

1.  If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____.

A. be punished
B. be offered another job
C. put off the training class
D. lose his job

2. The money which was paid for the clothes was _____.

A. the trainer"s
B. the older man"s
C. the writer"s
D. Robert"s

3. How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?

A. He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
B. He told a lie that the clothes didn"t fit himself.
C. He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
D. He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.

4. What might be the best title for the passage?

A. Proper clothes for a stranger
B. Fight against strict rules
C. A strange employer
D. An unbelievable thing
