“You do not need to be a rocket scientist.” Americans hear these words often.
People say them in schools, offices and factories. Broadcasters on radio and television use them.
How did the expression begin? No one seems to know it. 66 “It grew,” he says, “because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around.”
Not everyone would agree. Some people might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example, a person who speaks and reads fifteen languages, or a medical doctor who operates on the brain. Still, many people would agree that there is something special about scientists who build rockets. 67
Moving pictures from before World War II showed a man named Buck Rogers landing on the planet Mars. He was a hero who could withdraw any enemy from outer space. The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. 68
Rocket scientists, however, can have problems just like everyone else. A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many, many times. Finally, everything seemed right. Mechanical failures had been repaired. The weather was good. The scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch. All ships and boats within many kilometers of the danger area had been warned. But in the last few seconds a small boat entered the area. 69
70 One scientist said, "As a child I loved to build rockets. Now I am grown. I still love to build rockets. And now I get paid for it."
|
A．he or she makes space travel possible. |
|
B．It’s dangerous for rocket scientists to build rockets. |
|
C．Maybe it has something to do with the mystery of space travel. |
|
D．When the work goes well, most rocket scientists enjoy their jobs. |
E. Have you ever heard of the space travel?
F. But an official of the American space agency, NASA, says the expression just grew.
G. Once again, the launch was put off.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red?___71___ Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲觀者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
___73___A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.___74___ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
___75___It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
|
A．On the other hand, black is depressing. |
|

If you walk into W. Lloyd Jerome’s dental surgery(手術) in Glasgow, you’ll see bright paintings and a fashionable blue couch which patients sit on while he checks their teeth. Jerome says, ‘That’s because they’re frightened.’
71 ‘That’s why I don’t wear a white coat. I find that’s one of the things that people associate with pain. In fact, my philosophy is that dental treatment should take place in an atmosphere of relaxation, interest and, above all , enjoyment.’
Which is all highly shocking for anyone who associates dental treatment with pain, or at the very least, formal, chinical visits. He says, ‘If people are relaxed, entertained and correctly treated, they will forget such previous unpleasant experiences.’
Virtual - reality headsets are one of his new relaxation techniques, ‘ 72 The headsets are used for the first check – up, where the patient sits on the blue couch and watches an underwear film while I look at their teeth. “Then the headset switches to a special camera, to give the patient a visual tour around their mouth.’
Another key point is that the surgery smells more like a perfume shop than a dentist’s. Today there is the smell of orange. “When people walk in, I want them to realize with all their senses that it’s not like going to dentist’s. Smell is very important. 73 ’
Known as Clasgow’s most fashionable dentist, Jerome is keen to point out that he takes his work very seriously. ‘ 74 ’
For example, Jerome uses a special instrument which sprays warm water on the teeth to clean them, rather than scraping them. ‘It feels a bit strange, but as long as people are relaxed, it’s not painful.’
75 ‘One of the things I found out there was that when you make it easier for the patient, you make it easier for yourself’ He sees his patient – centred attitude as the start of a gradual movement towards less formality in the conservative British dentistry profession.
At that moment, a patient arrives. Jerome rushes over, offers him a cup of tea, askes him what video he’d like to watch and leads him gently towards the chair.
A. Five years ago, Jerome went to the United States to do research.
B. He has tried to create an environment where people are not afraid.
C. The relaxation techniques are important but the quality of the treatment is the most important thing.
D. We were the first practice in Britain to introduce them.
E. Now they look forward to their visits here.
F. That dental smell of surgical spirit can get the heart racing in minutes if you’re frightened of dentists.
G. Fifty percent of the population only go to the dentist when they’re in pain.

I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 71 It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.
72 In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.
I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 73 I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.
This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.
74 He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.
75 Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.
|
A．I couldn’t help but wonder. |
|
B．All of them went away at once. |
|
C．Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band. |
|
D．Everybody became angry with the old man. |
E.But no one knew what they could or should do.
F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.
