　　At first I couldn't believe it! There were no 　26　 in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to 　　27　. Although we all lived “in”, 　　28　　 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.
　　The 　29　thing was that practically all the students went to class, 30 very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 　　31　　 class. The new ones always went wild 　32　 , but this never lasted long. The　33　 took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like　34　 ; never did we have to　35　“stand up”, “sit down”, “speak out”. I don't 　36　one student who didn't try his best.
　　The subjects were the same as those in 37 school, but what a difference in the approach（方式）！For example, in botany（植物学）we had 38 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 　39　two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. 　40　in winter we each studied a few 　41　 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms - small ones 　42　 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 　43　time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 　44　the angles（角度）and so on. I didn't take 　45　 . I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's 　46　 !

　　The Channel Islands are a group of British-owned islands lying in the English Channel(海峡), 10 to 30 miles off the French coast, and 70 to 90 miles from the English coast. There are ten islands with a total land area of 75 square miles and a total population of 123,000. The three largest islands, Jersey, Guernsey, and Alderney, have long been known for the fine breeds(品种)of cattle that are raised on them and named after them.
　　In earliest known history the islands were considered part of Normandy, which was part of France, but the ruler of Normandy became king of England in 1066, and from then on the islands were looked upon as British land.

　　James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9. There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
　　“J.C.” ,he replied.
　　She thought he had said “Jesse”, and he had a new name.
　　Owens ran his first race at age 13. After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second-year student, in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
　　A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
　　The stage was set for Owens' victory at the Olympic Games in Berlin the next year, and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic（体育的）but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African-American winners.
　　“It was all right with me,” he said years later. “I didn't go to Berlin to shake hands with him, anyway.”
　　Having returned from Berlin. He received no telephone call from the president of his own country, either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
　　Owens' Olympic victories made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks, motorcycles, and dogs.
　　“Sure, it bothered（烦扰）me,” he said later. “But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat.”
　　In time, however, his gold medals(奖牌)changed his life. “They have kept me alive over the years,” he once said. “Time has stood still for me. That golden moment dies hard.”

　　A. he went to Ohio State University

　Fish Ears Tell Fish Tales
　Fish have ears. Really. They're quite small and have no opening to the outside world carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bones called otoliths.
　As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙).By looking through a microscope(显微镜)and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. Instead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fish's age, just like the growth rings of a tree.
　Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. They're examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring.
　The daily ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather within each otolith ring.
　Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish
