54、ized as he was awarded the Nobel Prize for medicine. The prize for Dr Edwards, who was given a Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Award in 2008, includes a 900,000 cheque. The Nobel Assembly described IVF as a “milestone in modern medicine”. With the help of fellow scientist Patrick Steptoe, the Manchest

59、5. He once said: “The most important thing in life is having a child.

66、 Prize for IVF Expert Edwards D. Treatment of Infertility in a Lab DHigh school graduationthe bittersweet feelings are as much a part of me now as they were twenty-one years ago.As graduation day approached, excitement increased. Being out of high school meant I was finally coming of age. Soon I wou
67、ld be on my own, making my own decisions, doing what I wanted without someone looking over my shoulder and it meant going to school with boysa welcome change coming from an all-girl high school. There was never any question in my mind that I would go to a college away from home. My mothers idea, on
68、the other hand, was just the opposite. Trying her best not to force her preferences on me, she would subtly(巧妙地) ask whether I had considered particular schoolsall of which happened to be located in or near my hometown of Chicago. Once it was established that, as long as the expenses would not be to
69、o heavy a burden on the family budget, I would be going away anyway, my familys perspective changed. Their concern shifted from whether I was going away to how far. The schools I was considering on the East Coast suddenly looked much more attractive than those in California. But which college I woul
70、d attend was just one of what seemed like a never-ending list of unknowns: What would college be like? Would I be unbearably lonely not knowing anyone else who was going to the same school? Would the other students like me? Would I make friends easily? Would I miss my family so much that I wouldnt b
71、e able to stand it? And what about the workwould I be able to keep up? (Being an A student in high school seemed to offer little assurance I would be able to survive college.) What if the college I selected turned out to be a horrible mistake? Would I be able to transfer to another school?Then panic
72、 set in. My feelings took a 180-degree turn. I really didnt want to leave high school at all, and it was questionable whether I wanted to grow up after all. It had been nice being respected as a senior by the underclass students for the past year; I didnt enjoy the idea of being on the bottom rung(横
73、档) of the ladder again.Despite months of expectation, nothing could have prepared me for the impact of the actual day. As the familiar melody of “Pomp and Circumstance” echoed in the background, I looked around at the other figures in white caps and gowns as we seriously lined into the hall. Tears w
74、elled up uncontrollably in my eyes, and I was consumed by a rush of sadness. As if in a daze(恍惚), I rose from my seat when I heard my name called and slowly crossed the stage to receive my diploma. As I reached out my hand, I knew that I was reaching not just for a piece of paper but for a brand-new
75、 life. Exciting as the future of a new life seemed, it wasnt easy saying good-bye to the old onethe familiar faces, the familiar routine. I would even miss that chemistry class I wasnt particularly fond of and the long travel each day between home and school that I hated. Good or bad, it was what I
76、knew.That September, I was fortunate to attend a wonderful university in Providence, Rhode Island. I neednt have worried about liking it. My years there turned out to be some of the best years of my life. And as for friends, some of the friendships I formed there I still treasure today. Years later,
77、 financial difficulties forced my high school to close its doors for good. Although going back is impossible, its comforting to know I can revisit my special memories any time.76. In this article the author mainly describes _.A. the great excitement during the months leading up to the big eventthe g
78、raduation ceremonyB. her mixed feelings during the months leading towards graduation and on the actual graduation dayC. her happiness to be admitted to a wonderful universityD. her eagerness to go to a wonderful university far away from home77.

However, my change happened when my teachers as well as my classmates came to encourage me one day in senior two. It was their encouragement and my own thinking that resulted in my slow but steady progress. Still not a top student as I am now, I have found myself filled with confidence and power to face any difficulty and challenge. There is no denying that I am bound to fight for my dream to the end in the following year!
