              Science has a lot of uses.It can uncover laws of nature,cure diseases,make bombs,and help bridges to stand up.Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation (诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful.David Brooks,author of The Social Animal:The Hidden Sources of Love,Character,and Achievement,appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.
              Brooks gained fame for several books.His latest book The Social Animal,however,is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books.It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics.The book focuses on big questions:What has science revealed about human nature?What are the sources of character?And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't?
              To answer these questions,Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines.Considering this,you might expect the book to be a dry recitation (背诵)of facts.But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox (非常规的),and perhaps unfortunate way.Instead of introducing scientific theories,he tells a story,within which he tries to make his points,perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention.So as Harold and Erica,the hero and heroine in his story,live through childhood,we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction.Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.
              On the whole,Brooks'story is acceptable if uninspired.As one would expect,his writing is mostly clear and,to be fair,some chapters stand out above the rest.I enjoyed,for instance,the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own.While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters,the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere.These problems partly involve Brooks'attempt to translate his tale into science.

              (1) What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?(No more than 10 words) ______
              (2) Why does Brooks use a story to introduce scientific theories?(No more than 15 words) ______
              (3) According to The Social Animal,how can we learn about the science of child development?(No more than 10 words) ______
              (4) Please explain the underlined word"weighty"in English.(No more than 1 word) ______
              (5) Do you like Brooks'way of dealing with science in The Social Animal?Why?(No more than 20 words) ______ .

              After 22 years of marriage,I have discovered the secret to keep love and intimacy alive in my relationship with my wife,Peggy:I started dating with another woman.
              It was Peggy's idea,actually,"you know you love her."She said one day,taking me in surprise.The"other"woman my wife was encouraging me to date is my mother,a 72-year-old widow who has lived alone since my father died 20 years ago.I had promised myself that I would spend more time with mom.But with the demands of my job and three kids,I never got around to see her much beyond family get-together and holidays.
              I telephoned mom,suggesting a dinner and a movie together.We didn't go anywhere fancy,just a neighborhood place where we could talk.My mother held my arm,half out of affection and half to help her negotiate the restaurant steps.
              Since her eyes now see only large shapes and shadows,I had to read the menu for both of us."I used to be the reader when you were little,"my mother smiled.I understood what she was saying.From care-giver to cared-for,from cared-for to care-giver,our relationship had come full circle."Then it is time for you to relax and let me return the favor."I said.
              We had a nice talk over dinner.We talked for so long that we missed the movie."I will go out with you again."My mother said as I dropped her off,"but only you let me buy dinner next time."I agreed.Now Mom and I get out for dinner a couple of times a month.

              Many seniors feel pressured to go straight from high school to college-but Camden Olson,who graduated from Latin School of Chicago in the US last year,didn't give in.She decided to spend a gap year raising a guide dog for Guiding Eyes for the Blind in Maine.
              The nonprofit provides trained guide dogs to blind and visually impaired people."I can say I'm living the dream,"Olson said."This is something I've always wanted to do."
              Taking a year off before college,commonly known as a gap year,is becoming more and more popular among American teenagers.According to a survey by the American Gap Association,enrollment (注册)in these programs grew 27 percent between 2012 and 2013.Some students use the year off to figure out what they want to do,travel the world,or save money for college.
              Olson is using her time to pursue a passion she's had since 7th grade.For years,she kept an eye on guide dog services until she came across the opportunity at Guiding Eyes.With support from her friends,family and teachers,Olson went for it.
              Olson's volunteer work centers around Derby,a one-year-old black dog."My job is to raise him to be well-mannered and socialized,"she said."Guide dogs have to ignore any distractions.They go everywhere with their visually impaired handler.They give a blind person a lot of independence and emotional support,too."
              Of course,there's an end in sight for Derby and Olson's close bond.When Derby celebrates his own graduation,Olson will have to say goodbye to him."No doubt there will be tears,but,assuming he passes,I will be so happy for him to become a working dog,"she said.
              While some look at gap years in negative light,Olson said she's seen major success.In fact,she'll be attending Princeton University this fall and is thinking about majoring in ecology and biology."I think I'm already so much more mature than I was and aware of what really matters,"she said."So many kids do come back from gap years a lot more focused and prepared."

              (1) What is the meaning of the underlined phrase"gap year"in Paragraph 1?(No more than 6 words) ______
              (2) Why did Camden Olson decide to spend her gap year working for Guiding Eyes?(No more than 10 words) ______

              When my friends went to college in great delight,I restarted my senior high school life.My spirit sank.Surrounded by strange classmates,I felt like I was in a maze and was sorry about myself.There were some complex feelings in my minds.I was frightened,nervous and lonely.
              To make matters worse,I recalled my failure again and again,which put more pressure on me than I could bear.As a result,I was always feeling down during class time.
              My teacher found me spiritless.One day he asked me to come to his office and told me about his attitude towards life:we might suffer from mistakes,but it's important to learn lessons from them.All the pains and the embarrassing things we experience are part of the process.So keep up your spirit!At last,he added,"If you are optimistic,things you want may happen to you!"
              Warmth rushed through my soul.I suddenly found the sun shining again when I stepped out of his office.
              With the teacher's help,I eventually got over my depression.From then on,I no longer bowed my head and began smiling to my classmates.I would put up my hand confidently in class and play with my new friends in my spare time.Meanwhile,I was gradually embraced by my classmates.
              Now faced with fierce competition,we all study hard because we know that every second counts.Moreover,there is an atmosphere of mutual trust and respect between us.I love my class; I love my classmates!
              To be frank,I still have a thirst for my dream university,but I'm not afraid of failure because I can profit by it.With parents and teachers'encouragement,I'm quite certain of my success and I'm sure I can fly high.

              When we were growing up in our grandparents'home,Jack,my grandfather,was always in his room sitting in the chair and listening to the radio.The voices speaking from the metal box day and night,taught us that there was a larger world outside.He would roll the black dial (刻度盘) back and forth until the signal was clear.Then he would listen.
              Now he is old and falls ill.When I went to visit him,he said to me,"I dislike the Internet.The problem is that we're losing primary contact with each other.No more shaking hands.Everyone is so busy.We want too much and in the process of getting it we miss so much."He stopped for a while."It makes me lonely and sad."Then he looked at me,"I just want to hear your voices."
              I think of all the voices on the radio he has spent a lifetime listening to.I asked,"How did you become interested in radio?""I don't know,"he said."It was another way to reach people.I was always interested in searching for a better signal,a clearer,more powerful signal that could communicate with someone somewhere."
              "And I'll tell you another funny thing:you can electronically eliminate all kinds of noise from the signal,but you can't remove natural noise caused by thunder and lightning,rainstorms,or snowstorms."
              He closed his eyes and smiled."I was just thinking that in spite of all our technologies,maybe we haven't progressed that far as human beings.We shouldn't forget we still have the same basic needs."

              Ashley Power's mother bought a computer for her when she was eight.When she was thirteen,she was surfing the Internet regularly,but she couldn't find anywhere for teenagers to meet and talk.And one day she thought,"If I had my own website,I'd make it a really interesting site for teenagers."
              So,when Ashley was sixteen,she launched her own website,called GooseHead.Young people got excited when they searched on this website and step by step they introduced the site to others and made more friends.She had no idea how big a success it would be,but three years later,the site was the most successful teen site in the USA!It was getting 100,000hits every day,and Ashley had about 30employees.

              In an interview Ashley gave advice to teenagers who wanted to start their own business,"Just be strong and have your dreams and work hard at them.And don't listen when people tell you that you can't do it,because I heard‘no'a lot.Just keep going until you hear‘yes'!"

              [1]We all have stories to tell about a father and some of these stories are funny,some are of encouragement and some are filled with sorrow.One such story happened many years ago but I always remember it as if it had happened yesterday.My father was a music teacher who traveled to farm homes in smaller communities to teach his students.He left home around one p.m.each afternoon to start teaching and would return around ten or eleven o'clock long after everyone,except my mother,was asleep.
              [2]Mother was the ruler of the home.She was a strict taskmaster,demanding that we all obey the rules without any excuse.When we didn't,there were always immediate consequences.
              [3]However,one day I made a big mistake and my mother warned me that my father would deal with me.I was relieved because I knew I would be in bed long before he got home.At night,I went to bed early just in case my dad came home.I figured it this way:I would fall asleep when he got home and therefore he wouldn't wake me up to punish me,and by the time morning rolled around,he would forget the whole thing.But I was fallacious.I got up thinking all was well but instead,dad called me in to the playroom.He told me how disappointed he was in me.He then told me that I would lose the privilege of playing with any of my toys for the next two days.
              [4]I still remember that incident vividly.The reason why I remember it so well is that it taught me a good lesson.And,that lesson is that consequences will befall you no matter how much you don't want them,or how much you hope that they will just go away like a bad dream.
