myself at a checkout counter behind an elderly woman seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries.
A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers. I was in a huge
rush, thinking of my upcoming evening. I did not want to be late for this date.
We were in Boston, a place not always known for small conversation between strangers. The woman
stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile-warm and reassuring-and
I retuned her gift by smiling back.
"Must be a special lady, whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers," she said.
"Yes, she"s special," I said, and then to my embarrassment, the words kept coming out. "It"s only our
second date, but somehow I am just having the feeling she"s "the one," " jokingly, I added, "The only problem
is that I can"t figure out why she"d want to date a guy like me."
"Well, I think she"s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously
in love with her," the woman said. "My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when tines were
tough and we didn"t have much money. Those were incredible days; be was very romantic and-of course- I
miss him since he"s passed away."
I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries. There was no doubt in my mind as I walked
up to her. I touched her on the shoulder and said "You were right, you know. These flowers are indeed for a
very special lady." I handed the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation.
It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased. "You have a
wonderful evening," I said. I left with a big smile and my heart warmed as I saw her smelling the beautiful
flowers.
I remember being slightly late for my date that night and telling my girlfriend the above story. A couple of
years later, when I finally worked up the courage to ask her to marry me, she told me that this story had helped
to seal it for her-that was the night than I won her heart. | | 1. Why was the writer in a hurry that day? | A. He was to meet his girlfriend.

But three of these people won the Nobel prize for figuring out what the photo really showed-the shape of
DNA. The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis crick, and Maurice
Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.
Her name was Rosalind Franklin. "She should have been up there," says historian Mary Bowden. "if
her photo hadn"t been there, the others couldn"t have come up with the structure." one reason Franklin was
missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision. But now scholar doubt that
Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitions.
At Cambridge university in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of
DNA"s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at king"s college in London, Franklin and
Wilkins shone X-rays at the molecule (分子). The rays produced patterns reflecting the shape.
But Wilkins and Franklin"s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and
Crick. Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant. But the college actually employed her to take
over the DNA project.
What she did was produce X-ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was
inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return. Mere
inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.
As Franklin"s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little
group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir-Am. In 1962 at the Nobel prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins
thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick
wrote in 1974 that "Franklins was only two steps away from the solution."
No, Franklin was the solution. "She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of
DNA. She must be considered a co-discoverer," Abir-Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who
worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the "Dark Lady of DNA",
Franklin is finally coming into the light. | | 1. What is the text mainly about? | A. The disagreements among DNA researchers.
B. The unfair treatment of Franklin.
C. The process of discovering DNA.
D. The race between two teams of scientists. | | 2. Watson was angry with Franklin because she _____. | A. took the lead in the competition
B. Kept her results from him
C. proved some of his findings wrong
D. shared her data with other scientists | | 3. Why is Franklin described as "Dark Lady of DNA"? | A. She developed pictures in dark labs.
B. She discovered the black X-the shape of DNA.
C. Her name was forgotten after her death.
D. Her contribution was unknown to the public. | | 4. What is the writer"s attitude toward Wilkins, Watson and Crick? | A. Disapproving.
B. Respectful.
C. Admiring.
D. Doubtful. | | 阅读理解。 | When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called "Brownie". My brothers and I all loved
Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were
baths, playing catch and many other games. Brownie, in return loved each and every one of us. One thing that

and ask if they could pet her. Of course she"d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were

Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, "What would I say when the
other kids asked what I"d 2 ?" Just when I started to 3 that there would not be a Christmas that year,
three women 4 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of
5 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn"t 6 . Somebody
had thought 7 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 8
Christmas there special and memorable, I 9 remembered the women"s visit. I decided that I wanted to
create that same feeling of 10 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 11 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans
(孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys, clothes,
and school supplies, 12 with a child"s name. We wanted all of them to know they were 13 . Before I
called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 14 them that they couldn"t open their presents 15
every child had come forward. Finally the 16 they had been waiting for came as I called out, "One, two,
three. Open your presents!" As the children opened their packages, their faces beamed and their bright
smiles 17 up the room. The 18 in the room was obvious, and 19 wasn"t just about toys. It was a feeling-
the feeling I knew 20 that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn"t forgotten.
