My love affair with the sea began when I was no more than six years old, walking along the sandy beaches. I always wanted to make the first set of footprints in the wet sand.
Unlike many surfers who sought the perfect wave, my interests always lay beneath the sea’s surface in a world I could only imagine and dream of. Soon, wearing a snorkel and a mask, I made my first solo adventures in the deep.
Perhaps the greatest turning point in my life came when I was in high school and I wrote a letter to the famous Scripps Oceanographic Institution, in San Diego, asking how I might learn more about the sea.
A kind scientist answered my letter and told me how to apply to Scripps for a summer scholarship, which I received. During one of their cruises that summer, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a marine geologist. He loved the sea almost as much as I did. Soon he was asking me what my plans were and where I expected to attend college. I told him I didn’t know, so he suggested I consider his school, the University of California in Santa Barbara.
Now my love affair with the sea became a serious endeavor. If I wanted to be an undersea explorer, I needed to learn as much as I could about the laws of the physical world that controlled the environment I wanted to enter. The undersea world is not our natural world. It is unforgiving to those who make mistakes. At its greatest depths the water temperature is near freezing, the pressure is eight tons per square inch, and it is totally dark. It is easy to get lost in such a world. I needed to learn a lot about geography, navigation, meteorology, geology, biology, and many other things. While I was in school, I took a little of everything.
I decided another important thing for me to do was to join the U.S. Navy. If I was going to be an undersea explorer, I would have to lead men and women on dangerous adventures where they might get hurt, and I didn’t want that to happen. In the Navy I learned discipline, organization, and how to motivate and lead people on expeditions so that we could explore the wonders of the deep.
Finally, the time came to put all that I had learned to use, to go forth with a team of men and women and explore an adventure I am still on and hope to be on for many years to come.
【小题1】In Paragraph 5, the writer discusses “the laws of the physical world.”Which of the following is an example of one of the laws?

A．Water pressure.

B．Various ocean animal life.

C．The appearance of the water.

D．The different colors of the ocean.

【小题2】In college, the writer took many different types of courses because he _____.

A．was not sure what he wanted to study

B．was advised to take them by Dr. Robert Norris

C．believed it would help him succeed in the Navy

D．thought they were needed to fully understand the ocean

【小题3】The writer joined the Navy to _______.

A．develop his leadership skills

B．get along with people under stress

C．learn about the dangers of the ocean

D．gather specific information about ocean life

【小题4】What would the writer recommend to students who want to be underwater explorers?

A．Spend time examining your talents.

B．Join groups to learn to get along on a team.

C．Interview explorers to see if they are happy.

D．Study as many ocean-related topics as you can.

Mary Jean Price Walls graduated second in her class in 1950.She had high hopes when she applied to a local college,Southwest Missouri State College.But after sending off her application，she spent months waiting for a reply.It never came.

Worse than simply being denied admission(拒绝接收)，the school didn’t reply to her at all.It wasn’t a matter of her school records，but of her skin color：Wallsis African American，and in those days，that fact alone closed a lot of doors. “I was sad and I was hurt,”Walls told ABC News.“I did not expect the skin color would affect my application.I thought I could go to university like other students.”

Four years later，the government declared that all schools should not discriminate against(歧视)African Americans— but it was too late for Walls.She’d moved on with her life, becoming a wife and a mother，and working as an elevator operator.She retired last year，at the age of 77.

She stayed quiet about the unfairness she’d faced in Missouri State.Her son，Terry，went through school records and found that she’d been the first black student to ever apply to the college.Today,four percent of the Southwest Missouri State College body is African American—including Terry.

Although it’s too late for Missouri State to change the past，the school is awarding Walls with an honorary degree(荣誉学位)from the school.While she knows it’s too late for herto change the course of her own life with the degree，it’s a chance for her to show her family that Missouri State has changed in the last 60 years，and there’s not a single door closed to them anymore.

　　Dr. Shetty came from a rich family in India. He had a good education and then trained as a doctor in India. After qualifying（具备资格）, he went to Birmingham in the UK where he received his first training in heart surgery（外科；手术）. Later, he moved to London where he worked as a cardiologist in Guy's Hospital. He enjoyed working in England but he knew that there was a great need for cardiologists in India. Dr. Shetty knew that there were very few hospitals in India providing good medical care for poor people.

　　Many very poor people cannot afford the cost of hospital care so they cannot receive good health care. Dr. Shetty believed that this was wrong and he set out to provide hospital care for poor people. In Kolkata there are well-equipped hospitals but they only provide health services for those who can pay. In 1987, he set up a hospital in that city and, in 1997, he founded the Manipal Heart Foundation with 450 beds for patients who need heart operations.

　　Later, he was able to set up the Rabindranath Tagore International Institute of Cardiac Sciences in Kolkata. This center provides general health care but in particular it provides treatment for patients with heart diseases. However, he wanted to do more; he wanted to provide for people in the countryside. Now he has set up Coronary Care Units (CCUs) in the far-away areas of the northeast of India which are linked（联系）by television to the hospital in Kolkata. Patients can now go to a local hospital with a CCU and receive treatment from a doctor far away through this link.

　　The cost of running the hospital is far cheaper than in many other countries. One of the reasons for this is that the doctors are specialists in particular operations. They may perform five heart operations in one day while in other countries a heart specialist will only perform one a day. Dr. Shetty's idea is clear. He says,“I have never practised medicine for my personal gain. I began as a social worker and I am continuing in that way. I dream, breathe and live healthcare.”He operates free on children and has conducted more than 5000 operations on young people from poor families out of more than 13000.

(1)We may know from this passage that a cardiologist is ________.

[　　]

A．a doctor who is specially good at treating heart diseases

B．a person who cares the health for poor people

C．a doctor who receives his training in a foreign country

D．a person who works as a doctor in a foreign country

(2)Shetty founded the Manipal Heart Foundation ________.

[　　]

A．to offer health care for poor people

B．because there was no well-equipped hospitals for heart disease patients

C．because there was no good health care for poor people in that city

D．to offer his special help to people

(3)The setting up of CCUs can ________.

[　　]

A．offer general health care to all the people in Kolkata

B．cure（治愈）more patients with heart disease

C．offer help to those patients living far away from big cities

D．help people to receive treatment directly from Shetty

(4)By saying“... I dream, breathe and live health-care.”Shetty means ________.

[　　]

A．he lives a happy life because of his good health

B．be wants to give healthcare to more people

C．he would give all his life to people's healthcare

D．he could only do things about people's health- care
