21、day we visited the Field Museum to see the new dinosaur (恐龙) exhibitAt first I wasn't interested in seeing an old pile of bones. Why would anyone want to learn about something that's not around anymore?First we walked into a big roomI was staring at the bones of

28、e TwoIs organic food better? Most of the parents say it is, at least in part: “In organic food, there is less pesticide residues (农药残留) ”, say some parents. Early childhood exposure to lead and other poisonous substances at very low levels is now known to be harmful, so parents think caution should

29、be in order.“Clearly if you eat organic product, you have fewer poisonous substances in your body, ” Joel Forman, an associate professor says. Thats particularly important for young children, he says, because they are especially easy to be hurt by chemical exposure while their brains are developing.

30、That puts parents in a difficult situation, because they also want children to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, not less. But organic food still cost more in most cases, and many parents cant afford to buy it only.Suggestions are made that parents should think about buying organic fruits and ve

31、getables that are more likely to contain more pesticide residue, and going conventional for those that tend to have less.Another similar case is about milk, conventionally raised cows are often fed antibiotics(抗生素) to stimulate growth, and parents are worried that this may do harm to children. “Grow

32、th hormone(激素) in cows doesnt work in people,” Forman says. “Theres very little in the milk. And even if there was, it wouldnt be absorbed. ”46.

36、able plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart(失败，破裂). The Jacobs family worked out a solution: They asked and received more aid from the schools, and

37、 each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the government loan program. The twin sons will be able to finish school. With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect

38、to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around. At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise and student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade. It is reported that most middle class families have been financing college

39、 education through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt. Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, i

40、s that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 51. According to the first paragraph, why did the plan of the Jacobs family fail?A) The family fell apart. B) The tuition was raised.C) Their savings ran out.

But in the early stages of

45、 skill or character development, imitation is helpful. When I first learned to cook, I used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes.     In daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. If, as a child, you observed people who

46、se lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. If you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.      If you are going to follow someone, focus on the

47、ir talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.      Blessed(幸福的) is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique. Think of the movies, books, teachers, and friends that have affected you most deeply. They touched you because thei

48、r creations were motivated by inspiration, not desperation. The world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them, but by those who do what has been done inside them. Creative people have an endless resource of ideas. The problem a creator faces is not running out of mate

49、rial; it is what to do with the material knocking at the door of imagination.      Study your role models, accept the gifts they have given, and leave behind what does not serve you. 56. Imitation proves useful when you _.A) have the skill to imitateB) begin to develop your
