Like many people, you’re fascinated by the speaking profession. So was I. Ten years ago, I was teaching English as a second language to adult immigrants. I was looking around for a profession that would increase my income.

When my friend Danniel Star took a leave of absence from his teaching job, he started speaking to groups. He was getting paid more as a speaker than as a teacher and he insisted on his choice; Danniel’s first year as a speaker was a little lean(难以挣钱的)financially. When his leave of absence was over, his old employer called him in for a new opening for a position. Danniel called to call off the interview.

I thought he was crazy! I said, “Danniel, you know speaking is not a secure profession. It’s good to have something to fall back on!” And he said something that changed my life. He said, “Cathleen, when you have something to fall back on. You fall back!” It rang so true! I saw immediately and with a shock that the teaching job that I thought provided a financial cushion(缓冲)in fact was holding me back from pursuing(追求)my dreams.

A few months later, I vacated, packed up my belongings, kissed my grown kids and friends goodbye and moved to a different part of the country to try my luck as a writer or a speaker. It was a little nervous about making a decision in such an exciting way but I wanted to do it for a long time and finally it was sink or swim(决不沉浮)time!

Well, I didn’t have enough experience of business and had so much to learn about the speaking profession. I did everything the hard way and it’s one way to learn quickly. Finally, I could do what I loved to do. I’ve succeeded. I was happier because my health immediately improved along with my view on life.

1.During his first year Danniel worked as a speaker he _________.

A. earned more than worked as a teacher

B. worked very hard and was successful

C. came across a lot of difficulties

D. didn’t earn too much money

2.What does the underlined word “vacated” mean?

A. Insisted　　 B. Continued

C. Resigned　　 D. Persevered

3.Which of the following can be the best title?

A. How to Avoid Making a Mistake

B. How to Stand Up Quickly

C. No Pains, No Gains

D. No Security, No Falling Back

　Ten years ago, with only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China was desperately trying to clone(克隆)the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That was a move similar to what Texas A & M University researchers had been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”(诺亚方舟).

Noah’s Ark was aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, said there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It was estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles would become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, was in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They were then trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nucleus transfer(核子移植)of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used)panda eggs could be a major problem,”Kraemer believed. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort, ”added Kraemer, who was one of the leaders of the project at Texas A& M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed. ”

At present, the project has worked. The number of the pandas has increased to more than 1, 500.

1.The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project was to　　　.

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D. transfer the nucleus of one animal to another

2. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of　　　.

A. available panda eggs　　        B. host animals

C. qualified researchers                D. enough money

3. The best title for the passage may be　　　.

A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning

B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China—the Native Place of Pandas Forever

4.From the passage we know that　　　.

A. Kraemer and his team had succeeded in cloning a dog

B. scientists tried to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer would work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand species would probably die out in a century
