47、so many subjects there is little time for creative learning.

An emerald flashes deep green, a ruby seems to hold a red fire inside, and a diamond shines like a star. Its more difficult to tell where the gem was mined, since a diamond from
57、 Australia or Arkansas may appear the same to one from the Democratic Republic of the Congo. However, recently, a team of scientists has found a way to identify a gemstones origin.Beneath the surface of a gemstone, on the tiny level of atoms and molecules（分子）, lie clues (线索) to its origin. At this y
58、ears meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Catherine McManus reported on a technique that uses lasers (激光) to clarify these clues and identify a stones homeland. McManus directs scientific research at Materialytics, in Killeen, Texas. The company is developing the technique. “
59、With enough data, we could identify which country, which mining place, even the individual mine a gemstone comes from,” McManus told Science News.Some gemstones, including many diamonds, come from war-torn countries. Sales of those “blood minerals” may encourage violent civil wars where innocent peo
60、ple are injured or killed. In an effort to reduce the trade in blood minerals, the U.S. government passed law in July 2010 that requires companies that sell gemstones to determine the origins of their stones.To figure out where gemstones come from, McManus and her team focus a powerful laser on a sm
61、all sample of the gemstone. The technique is called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. Just as heat can turn ice into water or water into steam, energy from the laser changes the state of matter of the stone. The laser changes a miniscule part of the gemstone into plasma, a gas state of matter in
62、 which tiny particles（微粒）called electrons separate from atoms.The plasma, which is superhot, produces a light pattern. (The science of analyzing this kind of light pattern is called spectroscopy.) Different elements produce different patterns, but McManus and her team say that gemstones from the sam
63、e area produce similar patterns. Materialytics has already collected patterns from thousands of gemstones, including more than 200 from diamonds. They can compare the light pattern from an unknown gemstone to patterns they do know and look for a match. The light pattern acts like a signature, tellin
64、g the researchers the origin of the gemstone.In a small test, the laser technique correctly identified the origins of 95 out of every 100 diamonds. For gemstones like emeralds and rubies, the technique proved successful for 98 out of every 100 stones. The scientists need to collect and analyze more
65、samples, including those from war-torn countries, before the tool is ready for commercial use.Scientists like Barbara Dutrow, a mineralogist from Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, find the technique exciting. “This is a basic new tool that could provide a better fingerprint of a material fr
66、om a particular locality,” she told Science News. 66. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _. A. an emerald and a ruby are names of diamonds. B. its not difficult to tell where the gem was mined. C. appearances help to identify the origin of gemstones. D. diamonds from different places may appear the same
67、. 67. Why did the U.S. government pass law that requires companies selling gemstones to determine the origins of their stones? A. To look for more gemstones. B. To encourage violent civil wars. C. To reduce the trade in blood minerals. D. To develop the economy. 68. Which of the following facts most

By gaining their loyalty they will be albe to follow you without hesitation and doubt. However, gaining a persons trust is more easily said than done but the
77、 most important thing required to gain a persons trust is being genuine and consistent.

78、 gains. You should learn that people dont like the feeling of being used by others. They would be discouraged and would tend not to do their best if they feel that way.

99、e place where youll find all these information, and thats in the Guinness Book of World Records. This morning we have someone from the Guinness Company that produced that famous book, Thomas Manning. “Welcome to the program, Thomas!” “Thanks, Sue. Its a pleasure to be here.” “Perhaps you could start
100、 by telling us where the idea for the book came from.” “Well, it was first suggested in the early 1950s. Sir Hugh Beaver, the managing director of Guinness, was out shooting birds with some friends. A bird flew away so quickly that no one was able to shoot it. Sir Hugh wondered whether this bird was
101、 the fastest bird in Europe, and if it wasnt the fastest, he wondered what was.” “So I suppose he went to the nearest library to look for the information and he couldnt find it?” “Yes, thats exactly what happened. And this made Sir Hugh think there must be other people in the same situation who want
102、ed this kind of information. He thought that, like himself, people would be interested in finding facts of all records to satisfy their curiosity.” “So the idea for a book of records was born. And when did the first book come out?”“A few years later, in 1955. So, to ask your first question: the tall
103、est person in the world is 231.7cm tall. And the oldest person is Jeanne. L. Calment, who was born in February, 1875.” “There are also some rather strange records, arent there, Thomas?” “Yes ,thats right. Did you know, Sue, that the shortest time it is taken ”选择题答案：作文河南高中教师QQ群161868687；湖南高中教师QQ群，315625208；江苏高中教师QQ群：315621368，海南、宁夏高中教师QQ群:311176091，欢迎各地老师加入。
