Past winners of the “Pride of Britain Awards” have included 11-year-old Tom

Phillips, named “Child of Courage” for showing bravery and courage when his father Butch, a farmer from Monmouthshire, was hit down by a bull. Tom used some tools to force the bull away and get back to the farmhouse quickly to ask for help.

“If Tom hadn’t done in such a perfect way，I could have lost both of them that day，” “I am so very proud of him.”

14-year-old Macula Johnston was named as a “Teenager of Courage”.

Five years ago, when I taught art at a school in Seattle, I used Tinkertoys as a test at the beginning of a term to find out something about my students. I put a small set of Tinkertoys in front of each student, and said: “Make something out of the Tinkertoys. You have 45 minutes today - and 45minutes each day for the rest of the week.”

A few students didn’t start immediately. They waited to see what the rest of the class would do. Several others checked the instructions(说明书) and made something according to one of the model plans provided. Another group built something out of their own imaginations.

Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time. His products filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home. I was so proud to meet such a student. Here was an exactly creative mind at work. His excellent act meant that I had an unexpected teaching helper in class whose creativity［创造力]would push the other students. However, I knew encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside. I ran the risk of losing those students who had a different style of thinking.

There’s still someone who would say directly, ” But I’m just not creative.” “Do you dream at night when you’re asleep？” “Oh, sure.”

“So tell me one of your most interesting dreams.” The student would tell something imaginative. Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads. “That’s pretty creative. Who does that for you”

5 / 13

“Nobody. I do it.”

“Really－at night, when you’re asleep?” “Sure.”

“Try doing it in the daytime, in class, okay?”

( )38. The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order to ________ . A. know more about the students

B. make the lessons more exciting

C. raise the students’ interest in art

D. teach the students about toy design

( )39. We know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3 that ________ . A. he liked to help his teacher. B. he loved to study alone. C. he was active in class. D. he had a good imagination. ( )40. The underlined word “downside” probably means ________ . A. mistake B. weakness C. difficulty D. secret ( )41. The teacher asked the students to talk about their dreams to________ . A. help them to see their creativity.

B. find out about their sleeping habits.

C. help them to improve their memory.

D. find out about their ways of thinking.

“know” when to flower?

For years, it has been a difficult question for scientists. But a US research group may have finally answered it—the secret lies in a protein(蛋白质(季节)are changing.

Researchers found the FKF1 protein when they were studying a plant called Arabidopsis. It is sensitive(敏感的)to sunlight, and can be made active by sunlight.

Plants produce this protein every day in the late afternoon all year. If there is no light at this time, for example in winter when the sun goes down early, the protein won’t be active. But when “know” it is time to flower. “If there is light in the late afternoon, plants ,” explained Takato Imaizumi, leader of study. But when conditions are poor for growing, such as during autumn or winter when the weather is cold and days are short, plants won’t flower.

Although researchers have only studied how the FKF1 protein works in the Arabidopsis, they believe that it is the same with many other plants, including crops such as rice and wheat. “,” Imaizumi said.

( )42. Scientists found the FKF1 protein when they were________ . A. answering a question B. controlling the colors of flowers C. planting flowers in the garden D. studying a plant called Arabidopsis ( )43________ .

A. it rains in spring B. there is light in the late afternoon C. it is getting dark D. the sun goes down early ( )44. Scientists believe that________ . A. other plants also know when to flowers
