2. The Story of Nobel and the Nobel Prize

A Nobel Prize is one of the most highly regarded international honors a person can

receive. These prizes were named for Alfred Nobel, a Swedish chemist and inventor.

Nobel's inventions were concerned not only with explosives but also with synthetic

rubber, leather, and artificial silk. The patents granted to him in different countries totaled

355. His most epoch-making inventions, besides dynamite and the blasting cap, were

blasting gelatin and smokeless powder, the latter known as ballistite. As a result of those

inventions, he became a very wealthy man. He used part of his money to invest in oil. He

made good investments and became even more wealthy.

However, in spite of his great wealth, Nobel was not a happy man. He never married or

had children. Also, he was a sick man during a large part of his life. On Decemberl 0, 1896,

Nobel died at the age of sixty-three in San Remo, Italy. He left all of his money in a trust

fund. This money is held by a group of people who run the Nobel Foundation. The Nobel

Foundation holds Nobel's money and gives the prizes. Nobel, in his wi!l, provided the

3. Using the Ocean

As long as we have been on the Earth, we have used the sea around us. We take from

the ocean, and we give to it.

We take fish from the ocean--millions of kilograms (

公斤

) of fish, every year, to feed

millions of people. We even use their bones for fertilizer (

肥料

) and meal.

We take minerals (

矿物

) from the ocean. One way to get salt is to place sea water in a

shallow (

浅的

) basin and leave it until it evaporates (

蒸发

) . Along with salt, other

minerals are left after evaporation--iodine (

碘

) , magnesium (

镁

) , and bromine

(

溴

）

, to name a few.

Much gold and silver drift (

漂砾

) dissolved (

溶解

) in the waters of the sea, too. But the

sea does not give them up by simple evaporation.

Other gifts from the sea are pearls (

珍珠

) , sponges (

海绵

) , and seaweed (

海藻

) .

Pearls become jewelry. Natural sponges become cleaning aids. Seaweed becomes food of

many kinds--even candy, jellies (

果子冻

) ,and ice cream--as well as medicine.

Believe it or not, fresh water is another gift from the sea. We can't drink ocean water.

.

..

.

Some of its contents may cause illness. But ocean water becomes fresh water when the salts

are removed. In the future, we will find ourselves depending more and more on fresh water

from the sea.

The sea gives us food, fertilizer, minerals, water, and other gifts. What do we give the

sea? Garbage (

垃圾

) .We pollute the ocean when we use it as a garbage dump (

堆存处

) .

Huge as it is, the ocean cannot hold all the waste that we pour into it. Dumping (

倾倒

)

garbage into the ocean is killing off sea life. Yet as the world population grows, we may

need the sea and its gifts more than ever.

We are finally learning that if we destroy our seas, we might also destroy ourselves.

Hopefully, it's not too late.

41. We can take lots of things from the ocean EXCEPT

A. fish

B. pearls

C. sponges

D. petrol

42. Onlycan we get salt and other minerals from the ocean.

A. through fire

B. through evaporation

C. through the sunshine

D. with heat

43. The reason that the ocean water is undrinkable is that

A. it is too salty and polluted

B. it contains so many important and useful minerals

C. it is filled with strange-looking fishes

D. it is too deep to reach its bottom

C. no sealife could be seen swimming in it

D. ocean will no longer be a fascinating sight to look at

4. What Is Cohousing?

Cohousing Neighborhoods

....

Some people call them a return to the best of small-

town communities.

Others say they are like a traditional village or the close-knit

neighborhood where they grew up, while futurists call them an altogether new response to

social, economic and environmental challenges of the 21st century. Each holds a piece of

the truth. Cohousing is a concept that came to North America in 1988 from Denmark where

it emerged over 25 years ago. It describes neighborhoods that combine the autonomy of

private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources and community living.

Residents usually own their individual homes, which are collected around a

house

These facilities may include a kitchen and dining room, a

children's playroom, workshops, guest rooms, an arts and crafts area, a laundry and more.

Each home is self- sufficient with a complete kitchen, but resident- cooked dinners are often

available at the common house for those who wish to participate. In some communities

.

.

.

..

..

.

participants will join a cooking team once or twice a month

then sit and enjoy meals

cooked by fellow residents the remaining evenings of that month.

Cohousing residents participate in the planning, design, ongoing management and

maintenance of their community, meeting frequently to address each of the processes.

Cohousing neighborhoods tend to offer environmentally sensitive design. They typically

range from 10 to 35 households emphasizing a multi-generational mix of singles, couples,

families with children, and elders.

In North America there have been over 40 communities completed since 1991 and

another 130 plus in various stages of development. The level of social interaction and shared

resources varies among communities. A cohousing development seems limited only by the

imagination, desire and resources of the group of people who are actively creating their

own neighborhood. Cohousing groups are based on democratic principles that support no

ideology other than the desire for a more practical and social home environment.

Cohousing proved personal privacy combined with the benefits of living in a

community where people know and interact with their neighbors. It's about living in a way

that's responsive to a world that has changed dramatically in the last fifty years

a world

in which home life has changed, women are integral in the labor force, resource limitations

and environmental concerns are on the rise, and many people

feel overextended.

Cohousing offers hope in our often dissociated society. By means of cohousing, we can

build a better place to live in, a place where we know our neighbors, a place where we can

enjoy a rich sense of community and contribute to a more sustainable world.

A. households of singles

B. households of elders
