• 1．Shree Bose is one of the most impressive kids graduating from Fort Worth Country Day High School this year．Bose has a large circle of friends，and there's one who you may have heard of：President Obama．He has twice publicly recognized her achievements in cancer research and spoken with her in the Oval Office．
     If that isn't enough，Bose recently gave a TED Talk about her work with the cancer drug Cisplatin，which also won her first prize at the Google Science Fair and recognition as one of Glamour magazine's Young Amazing Women of the Year．
     After watching her grandfather struggle with liver cancer，Bose was determined to help out in any way she could．As a high school student though，her scientific choices were limited．She reached out to various hospitals and research centers，but doctors turned down her requests because they felt she was too inexperienced medically．
     Only the North Texas Science Health Center respected her determination and chose to guide her．The results were amazing．
     Bose chose to study a protein （蛋白質(zhì)） and its reaction with the cancer drug Cisplatin．She noticed that when she prevented this protein from growing，Cisplatin was allowed to begin destroying cancer cells once again．
     "My project not only contributes to the understanding of the relationship between the protein and Cisplatin，but also suggests a newer，more effective treatment for patients who resist Cisplatin，" Bose said．
     Bose's achievements aren't limited to the lab，though．She was also captain of her swim team and editor-in-chief of her school paper．
     Bose is currently getting practical experience at the National Institute of Health and she'll be attending Harvard in the fall．She plans to study molecular biology and go to medical school．Eventually，she would like to be a doctor．

• 2．In most cases，there is only one correct answer to a question．But there is one question that has millions of current answers．That question is "What's your name？" Everyone gives a different answer，but everyone is correct．
     Have you ever wondered about people's names？Where do they come from？What do they mean？
     People's first names，or given names，are chosen by their parents．Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used．Some parents choose the name of a well-known person．A boy could be named George Washington Smith；a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones．
     Some people give their children names that mean good things．Clara means "bright"；Beatrice means "one who gives happiness"；Donald means "world ruler"；Leonard means "as brave as a lion"．
     The earliest last names，or surnames，were taken from place names．A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook（小溪）；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long，paved road．The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest．
     Other early surnames came from people's occupations．The most common occupational name is Smith，which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals．In the past，smiths were very important workers in every town and village．Some other occupational names are：Carter - a person who owned or drove a cart；Potter - a person who made pots and pans．
     The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village．The Carpenter's great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture．
     Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin，or their size，or their special abilities．When there were two men who were named John in the same village，the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray．Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman．John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer．
     Some family names were made by adding something to the father's name．English-speaking people added -s or -son．The Johnsons are descendants of John；the Roberts family's ancestor was Robert．Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O．Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O'Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell．
  
  （1）Which of the following aspects are NOT covered in the surnames of the passage？

  
  A．People's characters．
  B．People's occupations．
  C．Places where people lived．
  D．Talents that people possessed．
  （2）According to the passage，the ancestors of the Potter family most probably

  ．
  A．owned or drove a cart
  B．made things with metals
  C．built houses and furniture
  D．made kitchen tools or containers
  （3）Suppose an English couple whose ancestors lived near a leafy forest wanted their new-born son to become a world leader，the baby might be named

  ．
  A．Beatrice Smith
  B．Leonard Carter
  C．Donald Greenwood
  D．George Longstreet
  （4）The underlined word "descendants" in the last paragraph means a person's

  ．
  A．a(chǎn)ncestors
  B．later generations
  C．friends and relatives
  D．colleagues and partners
