For Gregg, the main purpose of the trip was to teach his children to care about the happiness of other people rather than for themselves. \"There is nothing wrong with your kid getting off the sofa, doing some work and sweating, \"said Gregg. \"It's good for the kid and it's good for the soul.

Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around us. Many things happen because something caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happen. Sometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effect. It may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning skills. Think about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see.

For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacket. This is the effect To look for a cause, think to yourself, \"What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?

Le Now, think about a second example. The effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's office. What are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负)another student. Maybe he is just being picked up early. Maybe he is being given a prize!

Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effect. Cait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her room. He looked around a bit, but seemed really out of it. Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a while. Little brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strange.

Cait's father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalking. What's the cause and effect, could you tell?

23. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is an effect? A. Someone will go outside into cold weather. B. Someone works in the penguin pen. C. Someone puts on a heavy jacket.

D. Someone will go to visit an ice skating rink.

Life is full of surprises and you never know how things will turn out.

Sir John Gurdon is a good example of this. As a boy, he was told he was hopeless at science and finished bottom of his class. Now, aged 79, the very same Gurdon shared the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine with Japanese stem cell researcher Shinya Yamanaka. Like so many scientists, Gurdon shows us where the power of curiosity (好奇心)and perseverance can lead.

When he was 15 in 1948, Gurdon ranked last out of the 250 boys at his high school in biology and every other science subject. Gurdon's high school science teacher even said that his dream of becoming a scientist was “quite ridiculous”. In spite of his teacher's criticisms, Gurdon followed his curiosity and kept working hard. He went to the lab early and left later than anyone else. He experienced thousands of failures.

“My own belief is that we will, in the end, understand everything about how cells actually work, ”Gurdon said.

In 1962, Gurdon took a cell from an adult frog and moved its genetic(基因的) information into an egg cell. The egg cell then grew into a clone of the adult frog. This technique later helped to create Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in the world.

In 2006, Gurdon s work was developed by Yamanaka to show that a sample of a person's skin can be used to create stem cells. Using this technique, doctors can repair a patient's heart after a heart attack.

\"Luck favors the prepared mind, \"Gurdon told the Nobel Prize Organization. \"Ninety percent of the time things don't work, but when they do, you have to seize(抓住)the chance.

27. Who won the 2012 Nobel Prize in Medicine?

28. What does the underlined word \"perseverance\" mean? A.谦虚 B.才智 C.仔细 D.毅力

29. According to the passage, which statement is TRUE? A. As a boy, Gurdon was told he was hopeful at science. B. Gurdon ranked first at his high school in biology. C. The cloned frog was the first cloned mammal in the world

D. Gurdon's high school science teacher thought it was nearly impossible for Gurdon to be a scientist.

So how to be a better net worker? How to take advantage of these amazingly powerful sites? The following are some tips that you might find useful。 31.

There are kinds of websites for you to choose from to get started. However, though

浙江省杭州市四校2020届九年级上学期期中考试英语考试试题(word版)

they share many functions in common, these websites have different features. Some are aimed at providing users with publicity, while others serve mainly as a medium of communication. Would you like to draw the attention from others and therefore be famous? Or do you simply like to keep track of your family and friends? Choose the website that best suits your needs. 32.

This is a simple thing to do to keep your profile active.

This almost goes without saying, but adding multimedia makes your profile interesting and attractive. It would be upsetting for others to meet with 100 many words when they check your profile only for fun and relaxation.

You can upload the photos taken during your trip, or you can produce your own video clips either for amusement or for some public purposes. 34.

By this we mean to classify your friends in an orderly way. as it is usually the case that you might have lots of friends online, you can sometimes be faced with too much stuff to read of. Therefore, this function is especially helpful for you when you only have limited time to check others' statuses. In order to get the information you really want, you should try this means to choose the content. 35.

The social network websites offer us a free platform, with which we can express ourselves and be well-informed of the world around us.
