Mother Teresa, whose name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born on August 26th, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism (洗礼), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
In 1928, she accepted a religious order and took the name Teresa. The order immediately sent her to India. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948 the Catholic (天主教的) Church agreed her request and let her enter the convent (女修道院) and she began to work for the poor people. She became an Indian citizen in the following year. In 1950, she set up a religious organization in Calcutta. The organization provided food for the poor people and then she set up hospitals, schools, youth centers, and homes for the sick and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries.
Besides the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the poor people.
On September 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa passed away, but she will continue to inspire people all over the world through her lasting present of love and faith. Mother Teresa often reminded the world that she was a nun (修女), not a social worker, and that prayer and communication with God were at the deepest heart of her every action.

If your clothes don’t match, someone might laugh at you about being color-blind. It doesn’t mean you can’t see any color at all, like a black and white movie. It means that you have trouble in seeing the difference between certain colors.
Being color-blind can make it tricky to match your shirt and pants, but it’s not a serious problem. People who are color-blind can do normal things, even drive. Most color-blind people can’t tell the difference between red and green, but they can learn to respond to traffic signals. The red light is generally on top and green is at the bottom.
To understand what causes color blindness, you need to know about the cones (锥体) in your eyes. You have ―red,‖ ―blue,‖ and ―green‖ cones, which are sensitive to those colors and combinations (组合) of them. When your cones don’t work the right way, your brain doesn’t get the right message about which colors you’re seeing.
Color blindness is almost always an inherited trait (遗传特征), which means you get it from your parents. You get inherited traits through genes, which determine every- thing about your body.
Eye doctors test for color blindness by showing a picture made up of different colored dots (点). If a person can’t see the picture or number within the dots, he or she may be color-blind.
Boys are far more likely to be color-blind. In fact, if you know 12 boys, one of them is probably at least a little color-blind. So girls, the next time a boy asks you if something matches, you’d better lend him a hand!
52. The underlined word ―tricky‖ in the second paragraph is the closest in meaning to ______. A. skillful
B. funny
C. difficult
D. easy
53. We can infer from the text that ______.
A. boys and girls have the same chance to be color-blind B. some boys may need help in matching their clothes
C. color-blind people can’t tell the difference between any colors D. we can protect ourselves from being color-blind

Rachel Carson was a great American environmentalist writer. She grew up in the countryside, where she developed an early interest in exploring nature.
She has been called the mother of the modern environ-mental movement. During the 1940s, Carson began to write books on her observations of life under the sea, a world as yet unknown to most people. Her most famous book Silent Spring, which describes the dangers of chemicals, raised worldwide concern for the protection of the environment.
Her courage to show humans’ stupidity and her respect for life continue to encourage us to protect the living world.
One possible version:
