【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 cow said his family39。s journey had reflected the power of college education to transform generations and the opportunities that have historically been available in the United States. My parents came to this country with almost nothing, Bacow said. I wouldn39。t be here if this country had not been open to people like my parents at that time. Nor would I if my father hadn39。t had the opportunity to get the college education. Bacow grew up in Pontiac, Michigan. His father39。s family fled antiJewish (反猶太的) violence in Minsk, then part of the Soviet Union, before the start of World War II and went to the United States. His mother arrived in Brooklyn at age 19, having survived Auschwitz concentration camp. She was the only Jew from her town to have survived the war. Yet Bacow, who is married with two sons, said that while growing up in Michigan, he had a happy childhood, entering science fairs as a child and building radios like his dad. Bacow has spent most of his professional career at MIT, Harvard and Tufts. He was a professor of environmental studies at MIT, and later a principal at the university. He led Tufts from 2001 to 2011. At Tufts, Bacow earned a reputation for shaking up a sleepy university that was being overshadowed by its peers in Boston. He is also credited with leading it through both 9/11 and the 2008 financial crisis. As the Tufts president, Bacow traveled around the country, reaching out to alumni (校友), and he urged his faculty and deans to do the same, in an effort to boost donations to finance Tufts39。 academic ambitions. He raised more than $20 million for faculty recruitment, attracting upanding professors by offering junior faculty perks (福利), such as long academic leaves that they couldn39。t get elsewhere. Under Bacow39。s leadership, Tufts spent millions on labs and libraries. He also made addresses nationally about the need to make higher education more accessible and affordable to lowine students.（1）The reason why Bacow appreciates college education is that ________.

Predators are animals that kill and eat other animals. In an attempt to obtain the best images of the incredible natural phenomenon, Rainer dived into the middle of a spinning ball of fish. Suddenly the sea moved around violently, and the experienced diver and his photographer Heinz Toperczer, who was filming from the boat, instantly realized something strange was going on. Suddenly dolphins shot out of the water, a white spray came out and then a whale appeared and grasped Rainer While Toperczer was filming the terrifying turn of events with his video camera, Rainer, who was trapped had first and engulfed(吞噬)in darkness inside the whales mouth, was trying to survive. Nothing can actually prepare you for the event when you end up inside the pure instinct(本能), the diver told Barcroft TV. Knowing in the whale39。s mouth, I tried to control my fear. But I was convinced that it was going to dive down and release me much deeper in the ocean. The whale quickly realized he was no sardine! As the whale turned sideways, he opened his mouth slightly to release me, and I was washed out, together with what felt like tons of water, of his mouth, recalled Rainer. Though the entire incident lasted just seconds, it felt like a year to Rainer. Still holding his underwater camera in his hand, the diver swam to his boat, where he was quickly rescued by the members of the team. The terrible adventure did not disturb Rainer for too long. After checking to ensure he had no injuries, the diver returned to the wa
