2． My PhD adviser informed me I had failed my qualifying exam at my third attempt，which meant the dismissal（開除）from the program.How was it possible that one exam—one hour of my life—could define me as unfit to be a scientist？
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started my PhD program.I struggled with my classes during my first year，spending countless hours studying in the library，I ended that year with increased confidence.But soon my confidence went away when I made my first attempt at the qualifying exam.I had switched research projects 5 months earlier，after my first adviser left the university，so I wasn't so confident of going into the exam.Besides.I had never taken an oral exam before，so the experience was terrifying.
Once it was over，my committee told me I'd conditionally passed，which meant I had to take more time to study and prepare to talk about the topic further.I was shaken but still hopeful.But when I retook the exam，I failed again.That's when I was told I'd have one more chance.
For the next 5 months，I asked my committee chairs for guidance and practiced answering oral questions.I even stopped doing lab work to focus on my exam preparations，I was all in.
When the exam was over.I left the room feeling a mix of fear and relief.But those feelings changed to disappointment the next day after I learned I'd failed，I speak Spanish at home，but I have difficulty translating even the simplest scientific concepts into Spanish.This held back my ability to comfortably speak the expected "language of science".
My adviser requested to reinstate（使重返崗位）me to the PhD program，and I'm now back to working on my doctorate.I still have a little voice in the back of my head that I'm not good enough.But I try to stop it by surrounding myself with professors who support me and by staying focused on developing into the great scientist I know I can be.I am much more than that one-hour exam.

3．When Christopher Moore isn't jumping rope，shooting baskets or playing the board game Chutes and Ladders，the 8-year-old can often be found at home using his fighting skills，protecting the world from would-be enemies. "I'm trying to save the other people from being hurt，" he said of his Avatar video game adventures.
The Moore household，in Birmingham，Alabama，enjoys a good mix of at-home entertainment，something they are doing more and more during these precarious financial times， "They're always in competition，" the boys' mother，Lisa Moore，said with a laugh. "It keeps them busy.It keeps them occupied."
Numbers show that at-home entertainment is doing better than ever，flying in the financial face of so many industries that are struggling in this difficult time.
The gaming experience，too，has changed with the years.Five years ago，online gaming was considered a one-person activity.And although games can still be played alone，the social factor is growing quickly. "Over a third of families will play games together online." said David Williams，who heads up the Kids and Family Games Group. "They're staying home more，and they're using games to connect with one another."
When it comes to the games children play，many parents such as Lisa Moore may choose to sit it out.But Christina Vercelletto，a senior editor at Parenting magazine，says that engaging in the games with them can do a family good. "It can be an opportunity to bond with your kids，" she said.If parents express interest，kids "will probably be heated.And you'll get a little window into what has them so excited." Plus，by playing the games，parents can determine how comfortable they are with what their kids are doing.
For those who want to get the opinions of others，Christina Vercelletto points out that the Entertainment Software Rating Board provides feedback and that parents are always learning from one another on discussion boards.
（1）What does the underlined word "precarious" in Paragraph 2 probably mean？
A．Appropriate.
B．Precious.
C．Stable.
D．Tough.
（2）Which of the following shows the benefit of at-home entertainment？

D．Forming a sense of independence.
（3）What should parents do while their kids are playing games according to Christina？

B．Sit out.
C．Watch out.

Several days later，they returned home a little earlier than they had panned.As they drove back to their hometown，John and Mary noticed smoke and went to see what it was.They found a house was on fire."Oh，well，it isn't our house.Let's go home，" Mary said.
But John drove closer and screamed in surprise，"That's Jordan's home.He works in a factory.He wouldn't be off work yet.Maybe there is something we can do to help."
"It has nothing to do with us，" cried Mary."You have your good clothes on，so let's not get any closer."
John didn't listen to Mary.He drove up and stopped.They were both shocked to see the whole house was on fire.A woman was crying in the yard，"The children!Get the children!"
