Linus Pauling，the only person who has won two undivided Nobel Prizes，was born in Portland，Oregon. He attended Washington High School but because of an unimportant detail he did not receive his diploma until 1962，long after he had received his Bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from Orgon State College in 1922. He had chosen to study his major because he could get a good job with it.

He won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1954 for his research into the nature of the chemical bond and its application to the explanation of the structure of complex substance. His interest in the “behavior” of molecules(分子) led him from physical chemistry to biological chemistry，especially of the human body. He began with proteins and their main parts，the amino acids(氨基酸)，which are called the“building blocks of life”．In 1950，he constructed the first satisfactory model of a protein molecule，a discovery very important to the understanding of the living cell.

During World WarⅡ，Pauling was a member of the Research Board for National Security，for which he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Merit in 1948. However，the use of the atomic bomb near the end of the war turned Pauling in a new direction. Having long worked on the structure of molecules，he took an immediate interest in the deadly effects of nuclear fallout on human molecular structures.

From then on，Pauling protested the production of the hydrogen bomb and supported the prevention of the spread of nuclear weapons. Through his efforts，The Nuclear­Test­Ban Treaty，declaring all nuclear tests to be illegal except underground ones，came into effect on October 10,1963，the same day Linus Pauling was awarded the Nobel Peace.

1.From the first Paragraph，we learn that Linus Pauling________.

A．didn’t study hard while in Washington High School

I stepped into my hotel room to a pleasant surprise. Lots of room surrounded an inviting king-size bed, with armchairs nearby resting against sliding glass doors that opened onto a private yard. A small dining table sat next to a kitchen with a refrigerator and coffee machine. "Wow," I thought to myself. "Nice place."

I love hotels. I love to enter a clean room, hang my clothes and gaze out the window, walk out in the morning and when I return, someone else will have made the bed. I like in-room dining and the way they greet you so professionally. "Nice to have you with us again, Mr. Goldsborough." Very cool.

The problem is that unless Alison travels with me, I never sleep well in hotels. I miss my family, even though Linus and Camille, at ages 4 and almost 2, find a way to interrupt even the best night's sleep at home.

I'm deeply troubled by the number of parents who wake up too late with the realization:

"My children grew up too fast. In the busy career and corporate rat race（劇烈競爭）, I missed their childhood.” What they fail to say but too often think causes me even more pain: "...and I barely even know them."

A hundred years from now, no one will remember the size of your bank account, the car you drove or the size of your house. The world might differ greatly however, based on your impact in the life of a small child. If you pay attention to your significant others, make the choice to put them first.

Think of one specific action that you can take, and take it. Then think of another one and take that, too. Challenge yourself to find new ways to express your appreciation and love on a daily basis. It will pay off ten-fold（十倍）at home.

We can infer from the passage that the author ____.

A. often goes out on business            B. didn’t get along well with his/her family

C. has not grown into an adult           D. comes from a rich family

According to the author, what is the most important for us is that ____.

A. we should often miss our family          B. we should do what we can to benefit our family

C. we should often stay with our family     D. we must always be ready to face the rat race

Through para.4 and para.5 what the author really means is that ____.

A. he hates his parents’ constantly blaming him/her

B. his parents don’t care much about his/her growth

C. many parents worry about their children’s future

D. many parents can’t realize their children not preparing for the fierce social rat race

Which of the fowling is the best title for this passage?

A. East, west, home is the best            B. Different generations, different views

C. Value of a person at home              D. Nothing Beats Family
