Tuition for many years of medical education costs a lot of money. Doctors say that it is 34 for most medical students to borrow money from bank to pay their tuition.

A
Years after throwing a bottle-up note into a lake for a class project and just one year after his death, a man’s childhood message was found and returned to his mother.
Eleven years ago, a then 10-year-old boy, Joshua Baker, wrote the message, folded and put it in an empty container, his mother, Maggie Holbrook said. He died last February in a motor vehicle accident in California. He had recently returned after a serving in the Middle East as a US marine.
“ I think he was just letting us know he was Ok and keep doing what we are doing ,” Holbrook said.
The message surfaced in White Lake in late April, just days after the 11th anniversary of its being thrown into the lake. It was found by one of Baker’s closest friends, Steve Lieder, she said. Lieder and two friends were chatting near the lake when Lieder looked down and saw the bottle. He broke it open and found the note inside.
“My name is Joshua Baker. I am 10. If you find this, put it on the news. The date is 4/16/95.”
They immediately took it to Holbrook, who said she is now having the note preserved and will display it in her home.
She can remember when her son wrote the message for the school project. She said she always wondered why he didn’t put it in the nearby Wolf River, which has a much stronger current(水流).
“I still remember the day he wrote it,” Holbrook said. “ I couldn’t understand why he threw it in the lake. No one would never see it again. Now I know.”

A "blogger" is a person who writes on an Internet computer Web site called a "blog". The word "blog" is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like.
There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people who read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others.
A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs . It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let their friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year.
However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example,the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern state of Kentucky recently started their own blogs . And American companies are beginning to use blogs to advertise their products.
At the same time, some long-standing blogs have ended last week, blogging leader Dave Winer closed his free blog service "weblogs. com". He says the site became too costly to continue . He started the blog four years ago. And thousands of people had written on it. They are now upset because they did not know that the site was closing.
One blog that is still going strong is called Rebecca' s Pocket. Rebecca Blood created the Web-site in 1999. She wrote about the history of blogs on the site. That article led to a book called "The Weblog Handbook". It has been translated into four languages so far.
Ms. Blood says Rebecea's Pocket gets about 30,000 visitors a month. She writes about anything and everything--politics, culture and movies. She recently provided medical advice. And she wrote about how to prevent people from stealing money from on -line bank accounts.

It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out , and if it is really good science, it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they must be unknown in advance You cannot make choices on this matter. You either have science or you don't and if you have it you have to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and useful bits.
The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we don’t know enough about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, a clear piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century to be told by any of us how little we know and how strange seems the way ahead . In earlier times, they either pretended to understand how things worked or simply made up stones to give answers. Now that we have begun exploring seriously, we are catching sight of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are sorry. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.
But we are making a beginning, and there ought to he some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t he answered, sooner or later. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, arid pay attention.
51. According to the writer, really good science_____________.
A. would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century.
B. will help people to make the right choice in advance.
C. will produced results which can be predicted
D. will bring about disturbing results
52. It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century _________.
A. thought that they knew a great deal and could deal with most problems of science
B. knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature
C. were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research.
D. did more harm than good in man’s understanding nature
53 .Which of he following is NOT mentioned about scientists in earlier times?
A. They falsely declared to know all about nature.
B. They did not believe in results from scientific observation.
C. They paid little attention to the problems they didn’t understand.
D. They invented false rules to explain things they didn’t understand.
54.What is the writer’s attitude towards science?
A. He is sorry because of the ignorance of scientists
B. He is delighted because of the latest scientific findings
C. He is doubtful because of the great difficulties in scientific research.
D. He is confident though he knows well the great difficulties in scientific research.
55. The writer believes that sooner or later__________.
A. man can’t deal with all the problems he can find because of the limits of human knowledge
B. man can find solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think up.
C. questions concerning nature are outside the field of scientific research
D. man can think up all the questions and answer them all

We can also attend the net school, read many books and even teach ourselves English. We can also enjoy music, watch matches and play computer games on the Internet. We can even do shopping on line. Besides, we can improve our ability to operate the computer.
But we should not be addicted to the Internet, or we’ll get our life and study destroyed. Besides, we should keep off the harmful websites. Anyhow, this doesn’t prevent the Internet becoming our friend. We can’t throw away the apple because of the core (果核), can we?

Dear editor,
I'm a student in Senior Three. We have made a survey--"Who do you turn to when in trouble?" Here are the results.
58% of the students will go to their classroom or friends when in trouble. They're almost of the same age, so they can talk with and understand each other easily. 30% of them trend to tell their teachers or parents, who have rich experience and love them very much, about their troubles and ask for their help. 12%of them, hating to talk with others and failing to get on well with others, would like to solve their problems all by themselves.
In my opinion, when in trouble we’d better ask our teachers, parents, friends or classmates for help as they are likely to help us out of the troubles so that we can remove some of your difficulties and feel relaxed.
Thank you. Best wishes!
Yours

M: Where are you from?
W: The United States. I live in New York.
M: Oh, really? I think it’s a big city with a large population, right?
By the way, do you like it?
W: Yeah. I think it’s the only place to live.
M: Why do you say that?
W: You see, there’s always something exciting to do, and it’s never boring.
M: My place isn’t boring, either. You can fish, hike, grow some vegetables
---all kinds of things, if you like, though it’s small and quiet.
W: I guess so, especially here in New Zealand.
Text 2
M: Well done! Congratulations, Kate! Your team are really flying girls in
our school.
W: Thank you. I felt sorry for Peter. He dropped the stick.
M: Who won the boy’s high jump? Do you know the result?
W: I don’t know. Oh, just listen to the loudspeaker. It’s telling the result of
high jump.
M: Ah, John Smith from our class won the match.
W: Well done! Your class! By the way, who won the girls’ 400 meters race?
M: I’m not sure. Oh, I must go. The next is the boys’ 400 meters race.
W: Good luck to you and your team.
M: Thank you!

M: Bonnie. I'm going to turn right at the stop sign just ahead. But notice that I
first come to a complete stop.
W: But there are not any other cars around. Can't you just slow down a little bit
before you pass the stop sign?
M: No, that would be dangerous, and if a policeman sees me, I'll get a ticket.
W: Oh, I see. What's that yellow and black sign?
M: That lets you know we're entering a school zone.
W: Do we have to stop?
M: Not now, but on school days between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., drivers must slow down to 30 miles per hour.

W: Oh, hi, Fred! I didn't know whether to save you a place or not. Why are you so late?
M: It's our maths teacher. She always keeps us in class until ten past ten.
W: Doesn't she know that you're supposed to get out at ten?
M: I guess so. But she never looks at her watch . She just keeps talking.
W: Don't the students complain about it? I would say something.
M: No. Everybody is too polite.
W: Well, you could try and talk to her.
M: Maybe. But I m afraid she might feel hurt.
W: Well, it all depends on how and when you say it. If you tell her about it in a friendly way when she's not busy, she might be thankful. She might even ask you to remind her of the time in the future.
M: Really? That would be wonderful. Thanks for your advice.

W: Hello, George! I wanted to speak to you yesterday, but you weren’t at your usual place for lunch.

M: Well! I stayed at home and looked after the baby.

W: Oh?
M: Yes. I mended my radio, washed a shirt and some socks, and cleaned out the drawers of my desk.
W: I don’t call that a holiday. I wanted to ask you to a concert last night. The one at the Town Hall near where we lived.
M: That’s funny! My office called me in the afternoon and asked me to go and write an article about the concert. I noticed that you weren’t there, but your friend Mary was.
W: Was she indeed? That’s very strange.

Dear Jack,
I’m very glad to know you will be here from Shenzhen for your May Day holidays. Here is my suggestion for your travels during the long May Day holidays. On May 1st , you could take the 8:00 flight to Beijing. You should visit Tian An Men Square in the afternoon. Next day, I suggest you visit the Great Wall, the longest wall in the world. For the next two days, you can visit the Summer Palace, walk around and do some shopping. On May 5th , you should take a train to Tai’an City to climb the nearby Mount Tai, on the top of which, if lucky, you will have the chance to see the sunrise early next morning. In the afternoon, you may return to Shen Zhen by train. I’m sure you will enjoy your trip.
Looking forward to seeing you then.
