Those who were not adopted were the official foster children.Most Orphan Train children found good homes wi
13、th loving Christian families. But a few ended up with families who used the children as servants. Anyway, if a child were being badly treated, the Orphan Trains usually found him or her a new home. They were not only provided with food and shelter but also kept away from a life of crime.Clara and he
14、r two brothers were lucky to find good homes through the Orphan Trains. When Clara was about seven, her parents and a sister were killed when they tried to cross a river in New York State. She and her two brothers, five-year-old James and three-year-old Howard, were sent to different families in Kan
15、sas. Each child ended up with a different loving family. They were able to keep in touch with one another throughout their lives. Claras new mother was a school teacher. When she grew up, Clara married, moved to Texas and lived a happy life all through her life.In an interview, the grown-up orphans

She met her brothers James and Howard.BA teacher from Relax Kids in Tamworth, UK, used two apples to show her students the damaging, and often
19、 unseen, consequences of bullying. And her post about the powerful lesson has gone viral.Rosie Dutton explained that during one of her classes she introduced the children to two red apples. What the kids didnt know was that prior to the lesson, Dutton had repeatedly dropped one of the apples on the
20、floor. And yet, on the outside at least, both apples looked perfect. “I picked up the apple Id dropped on the floor and started to tell the children how I disliked this apple, that I thought it was disgusting, it was a horrible colour and the stem was just too short,“ Dutton wrote.She then encourage
21、d the students to do the same. Some of the children looked at her like she was crazy, but the students passed the apple around the circle, calling it names.Continuing the exercise, the teacher then passed the second apple around the circle. This apple, however, was showered with comments like: Your
22、skin is beautiful,“ and “what a beautiful colour you are.“Dutton then showed the students both apples once again, highlighting that “there was no change, both apples still looked the same.“That is, until she cut them open. “The apple wed said unkind words to was bruised and all mushy inside,“ she sa
23、id. There was, she said, an immediate “light bulb“ moment for her students. “They really got it. What we saw inside that apple, the bruises, the mush and the broken bits is what is happening inside every one of us when someone mistreats us with their words or actions.“Dutton explained how important
24、it is to teach children to stand up for one another, and to stop any form of bullying. Lets create a generation of kind caring children, the teacher wrote. The tongue has no bones, but is strong enough to break a heart. So be careful with your words.24. What had the teacher done to the first apple b

27、erstand the results of bullyingCoseph Francis Charles Rock (18841962) was an Austrian-American explorer, botanist, and anthropologist(人 类 学 家 ). For more than 25 years, he travelled extensively through Tibet and Yunnan, Gansu, and Sichuan provinces in China before finally leaving in 1949.In 1924, Ha
28、rvard sent Joseph Francis Rock on a treasure hunt through Chinas southwestern provincesthe Wild West of their day. But gold and silver werent his task : Rock, a distinguished botanist, sought only to fill his bags with all the seeds, saplings, and shrubs he could find. During his three-year expediti
29、on, he collected 20,000specimens for the Arnold Arboretum(阿 诺 德 植 物 园 ).Botany, though, was just one of Rocks strengths. As an ethnologist(民 族 学 者 ), he took hundreds of photographs of the Naxi, a tribe in Yunnan province, recording their now-lost way of life for both Harvard and National Geographic
30、, and took notes for an eventual 500-page dictionary of their language. His hand-drawn map of his travels throughChinas Cho-Ni territory, in the Harvard Map Collection, includes more than a thousand rivers, towns, and mountains indicated in both English and Chinese, and was so well made that the U.S
31、. government used it to plan aerial missions in World War II.Scientist, linguist, cartographer, photographer, writerRock was not a wallflower in any sense. Arrogant and self-possessed, he would walk into a village or warlords place as if he owned the place, said Lisa Pearson, the Arboretums head lib
32、rarian.In declaring his successful return under the headline Seeking Strange Flowers, in the Far Reaches of the World, the Boston Evening Transcript ran a large photo of the daring explorer wearing in a woolly coat and fox-skin hat. Indiscussing his heroism including hair-raising escapes from death
33、either from mountain slides, snow slides and robber armies, he waves the idea away as if it is of no importance.The Arboretum and Rock parted ways after 1927, mainly because his trip cost Harvard a fortuneabout $900,000 in todays dollars. Fortunately, many of his specimens, many of his amazing photo
34、s, and his great stories remain.28. What is the passage mainly about?A. Rocks service for the U.S government. B. Rocks cooperation with Harvard.C. Rocks work as a botanist. D.

36、ly.31. What caused Rock to stop work for The Arboretum?A. The vast expense. B. The dangerous journey.C. The challenging tasks. D. The unknown world. DA recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be running out of control. Th
37、is idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and i
38、s so strongly influenced by businesses that we are likely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections(
39、反 对 ), whatever isscientifically possible will be done-somewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world
40、, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of science can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of controlling science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists
41、 on its possiblehuge impact(影 响 ) on traditional moral values, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of itsrelated techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through
42、the united efforts of people with hope, can we be fully safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.32. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B. Science is getting dangerously out of control.C. People hold mixed opinions

There are many benefits other than enjoying yourself that can be realized when you travel.D. People will work more actively to put
46、 science under control.34. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because .A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to work together to prevent
47、the bad use of science35. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. Mankind can largely take control of science with their efforts.C.

49、you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you. 37 Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. 38When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine. 39They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the fr
