2．Jack was born without eyes.He was very lucky as he grew up having other kittens （young cats）to socialize with，and was used to people from the moment he was born.However，when it came time to find the kittens homes，no one knew where Jack would end up.
That's when I got an email from my friend.All she asked was "Do you still want one of the kittens？There's one here with no eyes and no one would like to take him." Without thinking，I told her that I did want the kitten.
When we first brought him home，Jack stayed mostly in my room.After about a day he had no issues running around and climbing on everything.At times he gets lost in the house，he'll stop.But we just call him and talk to him and it isn't long before he finds his way back to us.
A few weeks after getting Jack，we got a new farm cat named Bear.Jack and Bear have become best friends.It doesn't matter that he can't see.He always knows when Bear is around.He'll run across the yard straight to Bear and wrap his front legs around his neck in a big hug.They run after each other around and wrestle.They'll lie down in the grass together when tired.
Jack is truly an inspiration.I've owned lots of kittens in my life，but Jack is the happiest and most playful.He doesn't feel sorry for himself.He doesn't need pity.I think Jean，owner of Gumbo，another eyeless cat，said it is best when she told me that cats don't have disabilities，they have adaptability.

3．More than four decades ago，British scientist Robert Edwards first witnessed the miracle of human life growing inside a test tube at his Cambridge lab，Since that groundbreaking moment，more than four million babies have been born through IVF（體外受精）and in 2010 his great contribution to science was finally recognized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.
The prize for Dr.Edwards，who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008，includes a ￡900，000 cheque.The Nobel Assembly described IVF as "a milestone in modern medicine".
With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe，the Manchesterborn physiologist developed IVF-leading to the birth of the world's first test tube baby.Dr.Steptoe died 10 years later but their work has transformed fertility（生育）treatment and given hope to millions of couples.
It was a scientific breakthrough that changed the lives of millions of couples.They said，"His achievements have made it possible to treat infertility，a disease which makes humans unable to have a baby.This condition has been afflicting a large percentage of mankind，including more than 10% of all couples worldwide."
Professor Edwards，who has 5 daughters and 11 grandchildren，began his research at Cambridge University in 1963，after receiving his PhD in 1955.He once said，"The most important thing in life is having a child.Nothing is more special than a child." With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe，Prof.Edwards founded the Bourn Hall clinic in Cambridgeshire，which now treats more than 900 women a year.Each year，more than 30，000 women in Britain now undergo IVF and 11，000 babies are born as a result of the treatment.
But his work attracted widespread criticism from some scientists and the Catholic Church who said it was "unethical and immoral".
Martin Johnson，professor of reproductive（生殖的）sciences at the University of Cambridge，said the award was "long overdue".He said， "We couldn't understand why the Nobel has come so late but he is delighted-this is the cherry on the cake for him."Professor Edwards was too ill to give interviews but a statement released by his family said he was "thrilled and delighted".
