• 2．I believe in the power of science fiction，not just for its capacity to turn dreams into reality，but also for its power to bond together those who share a common view of the future.For me，that's true for my relationship with my dad.Some fathers and sons bond over sports，fishing or hunting，but my dad and I bond over Star Trek （星际迷航） .
     When we're driving along some dark streets in Indiana，going at a slow speed with stars dimly shining，both of us are thinking of it，without needing to say a word.All these imaginations of other universes have together created a private universe for my dad and me.
     Gene Roddenberry，creator of star Trek，once said， "Science fiction is a way of thinking and a way of logic.It allows people to look directly at important subjects. " Science fiction has influenced more than just my relationship with my dad，but has also helped me shape my own hopes for the future.I'm now a science writer.
     Science fiction also has been a source of joy for my family，making me an optimist while enabling me to think critically about the danger of technology.Thank those authors who have shared their visions.The world and my family are better for it.Thank my dad，because he helped me realize the truth of Tennyson's words， "For I dipped into the future，far as human eyes could see，saw the vision of the world，and all the wonder that would be.

• 3．When Adora Svitak was twelve years old，she spoke on the TED stage，saying she hates the word "childish" if it's being used to describe irrational （不合理的）demands or irresponsible behavior.She said she has seen enough of that in the adult world，so she knows irrational demands and irresponsible behavior aren't limited to children.In fact，she made the point that adults could learn a thing or two if they'd only open their mind to the possibility that kids have a lot to offer the world.
     Even as a kid，Svitak often spoke to educators，making the point that there should be more of a reciprocal（互惠的）relationship between teachers and students. "It shouldn't just be teachers as the head of the classroom telling them to do this or that.The students should also teach their teachers，" she said.
     She wasn't naive（幼稚的）.Her theory is that it's all about trust.Adults always seem to have a restrictive （限制的）attitude towards kids. "Kids have no or very little say in making the rules，" Svitak joked.
  As a young child，Svitak loved to write.She had written over 300 short stories and wanted to get them published，and she was lucky because her parents were on her side.Even though she was turned down by many publishers，eventually she did have a book of short stories publijye.aid.She was only seven years old then.
     After that first success，Svitak has gone on to do more impressive things，something she wishes more kids had the support to do.She says it's important for kids to be heard and contribute when they're young，so they grow up to become a better kind of adult. "The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adults，but rather better adults than you guys have been.Progress happens because new generations and new eras grow and develop，and they become better than the previous ones. "
  
  （1）What does Svitak think of using "childish" to describe irrational demands？

  
  A．It can lead to positive effects.
  B．It is unfair for children.
  C．It doesn't take adults'needs into consideration.
  D．It can result in irresponsible behavior.
  （2）What is a good reciprocal relationship between teachers and students according to Svitak？

  
  A．Students get along with teachers.
  B．Students teach instead of learning.
  C．Teachers and students learn from each other.
  D．Teachers keep telling students what to do.
  （3）How did Svitak's parents react to her dream？

  
  A．They hardly took it seriously.
  B．They had doubt about it.
  C．They were greatly shocked.
  D．They supported her.
  （4）What can we infer from the last paragraph？

  
  A．Children need to stick to their dreams.
  B．Parents should support and expect more from children.
  C．Children are advised to imitate their parents.
  D．Parents should satisfy their children's needs.

• 9．I had just walked in the door after dropping off the costume I had made for a friend's daughter when I noticed the light blinking on my answering machine.It was my friend saying， "I know you worked hard on the costume and it looks very nice，but Janet doesn't like all those decorations.Could you change them？"
