Even more respectable,he promised to give away 99% of his wealth to nonprofit foundations,mostly to Bill Gate's Foundation.Mr Buffet often travels to universities to give speeches to educate and motivate students.Here is one of his speeches to teach us the value of our body,to invest in ourselves and in education for a great future.
“Imagine that a Genie offers you any car in the world.The catch is that it is the only car you will ever own.What would you do?
You would read the instructions ten times,change the oil twice as often as required,and take special care so that that car remains the car of your dreams forever.Think about what this tells you about your body.You get only one mind and one body—the same ones you will have at 20,40,60,etc.
If you overuse them,it will be too late to take care of your body and mind later on.Your main property in life is yourself.Treat yourself as a valuable property.
If you value yourself and invest in yourself,you will be worth a great deal throughout your lifetime,both to yourself and to your community.”

Dear Mandy,
I'm not doing well in my lessons at school, especial in maths. My dad says I must try hard because he wants me go to university. He thinks I'm lazy, but it's not true. I work really hard, often study late into the night! I've tried to talk to my mother, but she always said I have to work as hard like my brother does. My brother doesn't study very hard, and he always gets excellent grades. It's not fair!
The only thing I like it is art. My teacher says I'm the best student she's had for year. When I told my dad, all he said was, “You mustn't waste your time in art. You must focus your mind on your lessons!”I'm feeling quite puzzling about what to do now. Would you please help me out?
Thanks a lot!
Yours sincerely,
Lisa

Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·长春第二次质检)Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.
Genetic engineering was used to introduce the “mothers milk” genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
As an adult, the cloned cow“will produce milk that is similar to that of humans”,which will prove “a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)”,said the institute.“The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk,”said the statement.
In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk.But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene.While their research involved two, meaning the milk will more_closely_resemble that of humans.
“Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows' milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,”said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.
Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said the scientific institute made all Argentines proud.She also said that she had rejected the“honor”of having the cow named after her.“They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”
1.What is the passage mainly about?
A.The importance of genetic engineering.
B.Ways to improve mothers' milk.
C.A cloned cow to produce humanlike milk.
D.Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.
2.Which of the following can best replace“more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?
A.Have more varieties than.
B.Be more similar to.
C.Have more nutrition than.
D.Be more different from.
3.What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner's statements?
A.She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.
B.She considered it an honor to name the special cow.
C.She felt it improper to be named after the cow.
D.She refused to give a name to the cow out of selfrespect.
答案:
解题导语:阿根廷国家农业综合科技研究所的科学家们日前宣布,他们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。
1.C 解析:主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Scientists in Argentina have created the world's first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce humanlike milk.”可知,阿根廷的科学家们已成功培育出一头能够产类似人奶的奶牛。故选C项。
2.B 解析:词义猜测题。根据第四段的第二、三句可知,阿根廷的研究组称中国研究组仅放入了一个人类基因,而他们的研究包含了两个,这意味着产出的牛奶将和人奶更相似。故选B项。
3.A 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段Cristina Kirchner的话“made all Argentines proud”可推知,她对这个研究感到非常满意。故选A项。
