fell asleep.When he woke up,he found himself alone.So he got on the train in front of him to search for his brother.That train took him a thousand miles across the country to a totally strange city.He lived on the streets,and then in an orphanage(孤儿院),where he was adopted by an Australian family and taken to Tasmania.Brierley is a famous writer now,and in his new book,A Long Way Home,he wrote he couldnt help but wonder about his hometown back inIndia.He remembered landmarks,but since he didnt know his towns name,finding a small neighborhood in a vast country seemed impossible.Then he found a digital mapping program.He spent years searching for his hometown in the programs satellite pictures.In 2011,he came across something familiar.He studied it and realized he was looking at a towns central business district from a birds-eye view.He thought,“On the right-hand side you should see the three-platform train station”and there it was.“And on the left-hand side you should see a big fountain”and there it was.Everything matched!Standing in front of the house where he grew up as a child,he saw a lady standing at the entrance.It took him a few seconds but he finally remembered what she used to look like.In an interview Brierley says,“My mother came forth and walked forward,and I walked forward,my eyes filled with tears and my brain blank.I just didnt know what to say,because I never thought seeing my mother would ever come true.And here I am,standing in front of her.”8.Why did Brierley get on the train when he was a little boy?A.To go back to his home.B.To look for his

they influenced our personal lives?Do kids in your classroom even know when Einstein lived?You may be wondering:but why is it important to teachkids about modern-day scientists?First,stories of scientists can encourage kids.Chris Hadfield is a Canadian who went to space,and hes a real,guitar-playing person.He makes singing videos on YouTube!His story can make kids think scientists are also common people.Hearing scientists stories makes kids think“I can do that too!”But not only that,the stories of famous scientists can encourage kids to never give up.Bill Nye was always refused when trying to be an astronaut.But today,hes made a lot of successes in his role as a popular science educator and engineer.Besides,its no secret that scientific discoveries require trying,and trying again.Another way some scientists can encourage kids is through their diversity.Neil deGrasse Tyson,for example,is an African-American,which is not common in his field.Such stories can make kids think anyone can be a scientist.Its important to know that scientists dont need to be“gifted”or“good”at school.Often we consider a scientist as being an extremely smart kid at school.That doesnt have to be true.They just need to have a great interest in science.Telling students stories of scientists can encourage them to show interest in science.As long as theyre interested,they are likely to become a scientist in the future.Modern scientists teach kids that knowledge builds upon the foundation others have laid.This is important no one can do it alone.Scientists stories can encourage todays young scientists to keep trying.Theyll be encouraged not to give up on the dream of making discoveries.Even if they havent made important discoveries,their research may help the following scientists.12.What can Chris Hadfields story tell students?A.Scientists are interested in different things.B.Students should have a hobby of their own.C.Scientists can be ordinary like people around us.D.Students should

should never give up trying C.making discoveries is necessary for scientists D.new scientific discoveries may be based on others findings 15.What is the text mainly about?A.Why scientists are important to us.B.Why students should be taught about scientists.C.Why students love stories of scientists.D.Why scientists can encourage students.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10
