    the job.
         Later that afternoon, while doing my rounds (当班出勤) through a quiet neighborhood I had an internal
    (inside) wave-like a scream (尖叫) come upfrom deep inside me and I thought "Why has my life become so hard?"

    and she snid"I guess it was meant for you then."
         I spent the next year doing training, workshops all around the Seattle area and then decided to risk
    everything and go back to Scotland where I had lived Before. I closed my one man business and bought a
    plane ticket. One month later I met-my wonderful English wife and best friend of 15 years now. We live in
    a small heautiful house in Scotland.

    Last month I got the chance to take part in an underwater research project in an area of the Gulf of Mexico called the Flower Gardens. A team of professional researchers, led by the scientist Dr Matt Phillips, was trying to learn more about the fish and different creatures that live in this part of the sea. The Flower Gardens are a long way from the shore (海岸) and we spent three days on a boat.

    The team used a piece of underwater equipment(装备) called ROV to collect information. The ROV was great fun. It was controlled by a computer on the boat, and I was allowed to operate it a few times. However, the thing I enjoyed most was diving into the water. At first, I was quite scared---mainly because I couldn’t see land in any direction. But as soon as I jumped into the water, I wasn’t afraid any more. It was amazing to see the colorful fish swimming around and I could see all the ways to the Flower Gardens, which are almost 30 meters down.

    I will never forget the Flower Gardens. The trip was like a holiday but I also learnt new things about science and research projects. It was a great chance and it has made me think about my goals in life. The experience will help me work harder to become a scientist.

    1What does the writer want to tell us in the article?

    A. To describe the experience he had in a science project.

    B. To explain how to protect the wildlife under water.

    C. To give advice on understanding difficult areas of science.

    D. To encourage others to organize their own science projects.

    2 What does the writer say about ROV?

    A. It was very boring.                     B. It was used to collect information.

    C. It was so difficult to control.             D. It was controlled only by man.

    3  Which of the following words best describes the writer’s feeling towards diving?

    A. Bored.           B. Frightened.        C. Amazed.       D. Sad.

    4  What influence has the trip had on the writer?

    A. It has changed his opinion of science.

    B. It has improved the way he works in a team.

    C. It has made him more interested in the sea.

    D. It has encouraged him to work harder towards his goals.

    The Flower Gardens are beautiful but scientists are worried that pollution is becoming more and more serious.
     
    5 What might the writer write in his diary about the trip?

    It was interesting to work with Dr Phillips and his team but I wish someone else my age had been on the trip.
     
    A.                                       B.     

    Going to the Flower Gardens was great fun. I now know much more about science but I realize there’s still a lot more to learn.
     

    The trip was like a holiday and I saw some amazing fish. The only thing I dislike was collecting information about the sea.
     
    C.                                        D.  

                                    D

           3. We are too busy.
           Mother is busy now. In the old days, mother often stayed at home, cooking the dinner for the children and taking care of the children.  But now they have to work all day.  Father is busier than mother.
