Even plants can run a fever, especially when they're under attack by insects or disease. But unlike human, plants can have their temperature taken from 3,000 feet away-straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared(红外线)scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide(杀虫剂)spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don't have pest problems.

Even better, Paley's Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3,000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a colour-coded map showing where plants were running \"fevers\". Farmers could then spot-spray（点喷）, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would.

The bad news is that Paley's company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt the technology works. \"This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, \" says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson, who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago.

41. Plants will send out an increased amount of heat when they are________. A. sprayed with pesticides B. in poor physical condition C. facing an infrared scanner D. exposed to excessive sun rays

42. In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to________.

3 / 11

C. find the exact position of the problem area D. draw a color-coded map

43. Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________. A. discovering crop problems at an early stage B. consulting infrared scanning experts C. transforming poisoned rain D. making use of spot-spraying

44. The use of infrared scanning technology in agriculture met with some difficulties in ______. A. the lack of financial support B. its high cost

C. the lack of official support

D. its failure to help increase production

45. Infrared scanning technology may be brought back into operation because of _____. A. the desire of farmers to improve the quality of their produce B. the forceful promotion by the Department of Agriculture

C. growing concern about the excessive use of pesticides on crops D. full support from agricultural experts

When my daughter was five, we gave her a piano as her birthday gift. With great excitement, she began learning piano under the teacher's guidance. Nevertheless, when she was no longer curious about it, she became sick of it. After all, it is a tough job to learn piano, not to mention the daily routine of practice. Therefore, every time, I had to urge her again and again, either to force or offer her some profits for the practice. She always felt uncomfortable sitting on that school, so she would either scratch her nose or ears, or hide in the bathroom for quite a long time.

Her first teacher left and moved somewhere else. My friend introduced me to an American teacher. The American teacher's way of teaching was completely American style. After practicing, she would give my daughter some good comments on the excellent part (despite it being just a small one), and then point out what should be improved. What's more, every time she came, instead of beginning the lesson right away, she would first play some music. She said, “To learn playing the piano, you should learn not only the skills of playing, but more importantly, to feel the music and love it.”

To my surprise, my daughter gradually became fond of piano lessons. Sometimes she even would like to show off a little bit in class after her skill had reached a certain level. Her confidence and sense of achievement were enhanced (=increased) with the appreciation and acknowledgement from her teachers and classmates.

Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Morn, I was lucky because you didn't give up my piano lessons. Learning piano is like climbing a mountain. You'll feel tired when you are on the

广州新东方学校 优能中学部 高中英语个性化一对一

way. When you look down from where you are, you will realize that you have been making progress. But if you stop, you will never take one more step.” Hearing these inspiring words, I could not hold my tears, thinking that is the very thing I want to teach her, something that is more important than learning piano.

In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher. On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressures of academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers with specialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil may be able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decide which adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every young person from the first year what guidance and personal help is available—but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encourages requests for help is another matter.

Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to a child. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people—often rather frightening-looking people—and realizes that an increasing number of choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through

广州新东方学校 优能中学部 高中英语个性化一对一

the school the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions required will increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the first steps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult life for which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for personal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy to understand and within easy reach of pupils.

D

The significance of trust is that it allows the parties involved in the relationship to show how they feel, what they behave, and where they disagree without fear of contradiction(矛盾) or revenge (报复). Trusting relationship encourage people to make their plans and ideas known without hurting themselves or others. Hurt, whether real or imagined, is one of the most harmful consequences of personal relationships with other human beings. In situations which you feel that the other person has the power and intention to hurt you, trust decreases quickly. Thus a climate of distrust appears in your relations with others. On the contrary, if I can say whatever comes to my mind without getting hurt, the relationship is filled with a climate of trust.

Trust is a perceptual(知觉的，感知的) phenomenon that evolves from our experiences with others. If trusting were so easy, we would not need to make such a point of its importance in human relationships. To say that a person should trust others is to reduce the difficulty of producing trust. In mutual relationships, both parties must behave toward one another in

6 / 11

广州新东方学校 优能中学部 高中英语个性化一对一

trusting ways. Even though it hurts in the pit of the stomach (心底), you must trust the other person and encourage him or her to say those things that demand a trusting response. No one likes to get hurt and few like to hurt others, especially not those others who are close to us in person-to-person relationships.

We avoid expressing our true feelings in case we become the target of a revenging attack from the other person. If I indicate that I do not appreciate having you smoke in my car, I may love you as a friend or I may become the subject of ridicule(嘲笑，奚落) for allowing little things like that to bother me. If that happens, I will be less open and less trusting of you the next time.
