never confidently sought my writing 53 . had i believed in my early grades instead of myself，i would have allowed my fear of 54 to defeat my enthusiasm and damage my creativity. 55 ，i viewed my

and not made. although we were 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 i 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 crystal-clear memory of 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 has led me into varied investigations. i love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil, reading about other peoples 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 self-discipline, a quality i lack. a scientist can be made .a naturalist is born. if you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.56. according to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be_a. full of ambition b. self-disciplinedc. full of enthusiasm d. knowledgeable57. the first paragraph tells us that the author _a. lost his hearing when he was a childb. didnt like his brothers and sistersc. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood d. was born to a naturalists family58. the author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he _a. just reads about other peoples observations and discoveriesb. lacks some of the qualities required of scientist c. has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticd. comes up with solutions in most natural ways59.the author cant remember his relatives clearly because_.a. he was too young when he lived with them b. he didnt live very long with themc. the family was extremely larged. he was fully occupied with observing nature60. which of the following statement is true?a. the author believes that a born naturalist cannot be a scientist.b. the author read a lot of books about the natural world and the oil industry.c. the authors brothers and sisters were good at music and languages.d. the author spent a lot of time working on riddles.b “just take a deep breath.” “dont think about it.” “youre more likely to die in a car wreck on the way to the airport than you are in a plane crash.” these are just some words given to people with a fear of flying. but as tom cruise, playing lt. daniel kaffee in the movie a few good men, said, “i get sick when i fly because im afraid of crashing into a large mountain. i dont think daniel will help.”but theres a new application that just may. today, the valk foundation, a dutch group thats a partnership between klm royal dutch airlines and the university of leiden, launches the app (application) in the us. the valk foundation was one of the first centers for research and fear-of-flying treatment in the world and is the organizer of three world conferences on fear of flying.the foundation said the app, called flight app valk, is the first scientifically-developed, web-based treatment for people who suffer from mild to moderate fear of flying.“the fear-of-flying application we have created aims to transfer all of the knowledge we have developed through our program into a mobile application that will help ease travelers fears,” said dr. lucas van gerwen, director of the valk foundation. dr. van gerwen is also a psychologist and professional pilot with more than 30 years experience.the foundation said up to 30% of adults are fearful fliers. the flight app is designed to help relax passengers before and during flights by educating users about flight safety and turbulence. it explains the sounds and sensations(感觉)they can expect during departure, flight and landing. and, if a passengers flight stress reaches a panic level, they press a special panic button which provides audio and written information to help decrease stress levels. most importantly, the flight app can be used during the flight in the airplane mode. once downloaded, the program does not require internet connection in the air.61. by saying the words at the beginning of the passage, people are expected to _.a. decrease their fear of flyingb. get rid of their doubt about planec. have a good time on their flight journeyd. use some medicine to cure their fear of flying62. according to the passage, the valk foundation _.a. is a group focusing on psychology on the flightb. was the first center to do research into fear of flyingc. organizes the world conferences on fear of flying annuallyd. focuses on researching and offering treatment on fear of flying63. flight app valk is aimed to _.a. help passengers experience the fear of flyingb. help relax passengers before and during flightsc. treat people who suffer from mild fear of flyingd. teach people the basic knowledge of taking flight64. what does the last paragraph mainly tell us?a. many adults are suffering from fear of flying b. its convenient for people to use the flight appc. many planes will be installed with the flight app.d. the flight app can decrease stress levels effectively65. in which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?a. culture b. entertainment c. technology d. education cjockeys(职业赛马骑师) are the smallest athletes. they are rarely over five feet six, or 120 pounds. the lighter the weight on the horse, the faster it can go.riding fast horses on the track is tough on the small jockeys. the jockey doesnt“sit”on the horse. he leans forward on his legs. the strain is on his thighs(大腿) and calf(小腿) muscles. as jockeys age, their legs“go”first. jockeys also need arm strength. its a strain holding a 1000-pound racehorse.on muddy days, jockeys get a pounding of mud. the mud comes flying off the hooves(蹄) of the horses in front. “it feels like someone is punching you all over,”says one rider.and a jockey can be hurt. a jockey can have a leg jammed between two horses. or it can get caught between horse and the rail. the worst accidents are from falls. a horse may fall on his rider. or horses behind may trample if he hits the track. in one year about 240 riders are hurt badly. thats one out of six jockeys.but the jockeys are well-paid. a jockey keeps about ten percent of the money his horses win. jacinto vasquez, a five-foot-three comer, has ridden horses to 7,000,000 in wins in the last eight years, which means he does almost 100,000 a year.why do some jockeys do better than others? “it isnt the way a boy sits on a horse or uses the reins or the whip,”says conn mccreary. mccreary was a top jockey of the 1950s. he rode two kentucky derby winners. “most jockeys do this the same. its the feel he has for the horses.”“when you come right down to it, it just seems that horses run better for some riders,” mccreary says. “a real good jockey doesnt lose with the best horse. and sometimes hell win with the second or third best.”many latin-american riders, like jacinto, seem to have the knack. “maybe its because we grew up with horses,”says jacinto. “maybe its because we like to ride. there was a strike at aqueduct last year. we, jorge velasquez, and angel cordero (two other top latin riders) went to a park. we rented horses, and rode around the bridle path(骑马专用道)!”66. the main idea of paragraph 1 is about _.a. the size of jockeys. b. the age of jockeysc. the size of the horse d. the speed of the horse67. when a jockey is riding a fast horse, he doesnt _.a. really sit on the horse b. lean forward on his legsc. use much arm strength d. get any mud on wet track68. the most dangerous problem for a jockey arises _.a. when his leg is jammed between two horsesb. when his clothes are splashed over with mud.c. when the jockeys horse falls on the jockeyd. when the jockey is not well paid69. a really good jockey can often win a race _.a. only when he rides on the best horse b. even when he rides the second best horsec. when he rides on a rented horse d. if the horse is just a kentucky her
