Around twenty years ago I was living in York. 1 I had a lot of experience and a Master’s degree, I could not find 2 work.
I was 3 a school bus to make ends meet and 4 with a friend of mine, for I had lost my flat. I had 5 five interviews with a company and one day between bus runs they called to say I did not 6 the job. “Why has my life become so 7?” I thought painfully.
As I pulled the bus over to 8 a little girl, she handed me an earring 9 I should keep it 10 somebody claimed it. The earring was painted black and said “BE HAPPY”.
At first I got angry. Then it 11 me – I had been giving all of my 12 to what was going wrong with my 13 rather than what was right! I decided then and there to make a 14 of fifty things I was happy with. Later, I decided to 15 more things to the list. That night there was a phone call for 16 from a lady who was a director at a large 17. She asked me if I would 18 a one –day lecture on stress management to 200 medical workers. I said yes.
My 19 there went very well, and before long I got a well-paid job. To this day I know it was because I changed my way of 20 that I completely changed my life.

A high school in Hiroshima City has been the first to do something with DNA in the world. Its students have won praise not only for doing this research but also for presenting their findings to groups of expert scientists. The school is one of the Super Science High Schools allowed by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, where students are given an opportunity to study science at an advanced level. Here, students use the same type of hitech experimental laboratories as those found at universities. In these labs, they conduct experiments and research in new fields of study not found in textbooks. As part of this science course, the students, with the help of Hiroshima University, used a machine called sequencer (音序器), and over the course of a year and a half they succeeded in decoding (解译) the DNA. They then presented their results to academic groups. Achieving a world first might sound very wonderful, but the process of decoding the DNA involved very hard work. The students were also responsible for maintaining the equipment, and they had to read difficult research papers and put in extra study beyond their regular schoolwork.
"Researchers need to work hard. The work was tiring, but the students worked toward their ambitious goal of achieving a world first. They have a great sense of achievement, and the number of students who hope to become biologists has increased," said Taruma Akinori, who is in charge of the science course.
In addition to the results being added to the scientific community, the students’ research paper will be translated into English and made available overseas. Moreover, the students have decided to take on a new challenge in DNA decoding.

  1. 1.

    Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?

    1. A.

      More students hoping to become biologists
    4. D.

  2. 2.

    Up to a point, their success is due to ______.

    1. A.
      hi-tech experimental facilities
    2. B.
      the great pressure their school put on them
    3. C.
      the increasing number of biologists
    4. D.
      little interest in their regular school work
