27、re that it led him to a career in which he looked for the answers to these unanswered questions. Chemistry was the scientific field which allowed him to understand them. He studied chemistry at Zurich University，and his main interest was the chemistry of plants and animals. At 23, he earned his PhD
28、with honors.He worked at Sandoz Laboratories where he developed his research work, and there he made a lot of success by working with various plants and changing them into something useful. He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD)(迷幻药). In addition
29、，he was also the first person to taste it and learn about its hallucinogenic(引起幻觉的) effects. He was deeply connected to nature and argued that LSD，besides being useful for psychiatry (精神病学), could also be used to promote awareness of mankinds place in nature. However, he was disappointed that his di
30、scovery was being carelessly used as a drug for entertainment. Because of his discovery，LSD fans have fondly called him “the Father of LSD”. Besides carrying out his scientific experiments, he also authored numerous books and more than 100 scientific articles. In 2007, he featured in a list of the 1
31、00 greatest living geniuses，published by The Telegraph Newspaper.本文介绍了瑞士科学家Albert Hofmann 的成长经历以及科学成就。21Why did Albert Hofmann take chemistry as his career?AHe wanted to find answers to the questions that puzzled him.BHe hoped to become a chemical scientist.CHe was interested in psychiatry as a smal

33、id he get wellknown?AHis father invented great tools.BHis research was connected with nature.CHe had very exciting experiences.DHe produced a chemical called LSD.解析：细节理解题。从第二段第二句“He became famous when he became the first person to produce lysergic acid diethylamide called (LSD)(迷幻药)”可知Albert Hofmann

If youre the secondborn child you may want to have a littl
38、e chat with your parents. The reason why secondborn siblings may be worse behaved than firstborns is that parents tend to pay less attention to them. “Secondborn children tend to have less attention from the mother than their older siblings because firstborn children experience their mothers materni
39、ty leave (产假). Firstborns enjoy the rewards of not only their own time with Mum following their birth, but the time Mum takes off with younger siblings, too，” the authors explain. Its not just about the parents, however. Speaking to NRP, coauthor Joseph Doyle said, “The firstborn has role models, wh
40、o are adults. And the second, laterborn children have role models who are slightly unreasonable 2yearolds, you know, their older siblings.

Sure enough, there was a white dove seated on a rubber tree. It sat there a few moments, and then flew away. Id never seen one in our nei
100、ghborhood before.When I dragged myself to the kitchen the next morning, the dove was back. This time it was with a mate carrying twigs (嫩枝). “Look, Matthew，” I said, pointing to the tree. “Theyre going to make a nest.” The doves flew in and out of the courtyard all week, building on the top of the r
101、ubber tree. Matthew could hardly contain his excitement. Every morning, hed run into the kitchen and take his spot by the sliding glass door, talking to the birds while they worked. As much as I was grieving (感到悲伤), I couldnt help but look forward to the doves visits too. We watched their progress a

I leaned a stepladder by the sliding door, hammered the shelving into the wall next to the rubber tree and covered it with leaves so it looked like
106、 part of the tree. Then Matthew and I stood by the door, waiting and hoping.Paragraph 2： “The birds were back！” Matthew announced. There they were adding bits and pieces to the new nest. “It worked! The doves were back.” We watched three chicks break free from their shells. Life was filled with wonder and surprises like a pair of white doves building a nest on the top of a rubber tree, with me waiting and hoping.
