Once Upon a Time Once Upon a Time is a French educational animation,

B One year, a newspaper of the United States published an announcementthe Horticultural (园 艺) Institute offered a reward at a high price for the pure white marigold (金盏花). The high reward attracted so ma
18、ny people, but in nature besides golden, the marigold is brown；it is not easy to create the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people forgot that announcement. One normal day after 20 years, the Horticultural Institute accidentally received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white ma
19、rigold. On that day the news spread like wildfire. It turned out to be an old woman of over 70 years old. The institute had always been hesitating over the fact that the letter stated with certainty that the seeds could bloom(开花) pure white marigold. Those seeds finally took root in the earth. The w
20、onder appeared after one year: large fields of pure white marigold swung in the light wind. As a result, the old woman became a new focus. Originally, the old woman was just a flower-lover. When she happened to read the announcement 20 years ago, her heart kept beating wildly. But her eight children
21、 all opposed her decision. After all, a woman who never knew the seed genetics(遗传学) couldnt complete what the - 5 - experts could never accomplish! Still, the old woman didnt change her mind and went on working without hesitation. She spread some of the most common seeds and took good care of them.
22、A year later, when the marigold bloomed, she chose one faintest (暗淡) from those golden and brown flowers and made it wither (凋谢) naturally in order to get the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose the faintest from these flowers to plant Year after year, through many cycles of spri
23、ng sowing and autumn harvest, the old womans husband died; her children flew far and high; a lot of things happened in her life but only the desire to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart. Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden, she saw a marigold, which was not
24、 nearly white but as white as silver or snow. Such a difficult problem as even experts couldnt cope with was readily solved by an old woman who didnt understand genetics. Was it a wonder?

In President Donald Trumps opinion, theyre exactly the fields where the U.S. has to lead and also the ones where Asia, especially
29、China, is catching up. Universities from China get more patents than their U.S. peers in wireless communications, according to research firm GreyB Services. In AI, 17 of the top 20 universities and public research organizations are in China, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences topping the list, say
30、s the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva. Theres a special place for universities in the development of science.

36、 of U.S universities? A. Worried. B. Disapproving. C. Positive. D. Unconcerned. D Almost everyone has heard the expression “the calm before the storm.” It is usually used to describe a peaceful period just before a very stressful situation or a tense argument. British sailors coined the phrase in th
37、e late 1600s; they noted that before certain storms the seas would seem to become still and the winds would drop. Science has given us the reason. According to US website HowStuffWorks, a calm period occurs because many storms, tornadoes and hurricanes draw in all the warm and humid(湿热的) air from th
38、e surrounding area. As this air rises into the storm clouds, it cools and acts as “fuel for the storm, like petrol in a car”. Once the storm has taken all the energy it can from the air, it is pushed out from the top of the storm clouds and falls back down to ground level. As the air goes down, it b
39、ecomes warm and dry. Warm and dry air is stable, so once it covers an area, it causes a calm period before the storm. This same process also causes the “eye of the storm” in hurricanes and tornadoes. In these conditions, the calm occurs in the center of the storm because of the strong rotating (旋转的)
40、 winds. The Weather Network has a tip for working out how far away a storm is. First count how many seconds there are between a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder, roughly three seconds equal one kilometer. So, for example, if you count nine seconds, the storm is about three kilometers away. A
41、 good method is that if your count is below 30 seconds, you should seek shelter straight away. However, due to the complexity of storm system, not all storms take place after calm. Given the right conditions, some storms announce themselves with heavy rain and fierce winds. So, your best bet is to k
42、eep yourself updated with weather reports for any predictions regarding a coming storm in your area. Thats the most reliable way to predict the next display(展示) of natures temper (脾气). 32.
