　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(创新题)He gave the gift of life

　　WHAT’S the most important thing of life?

　　People’s answers vary greatly.For British scientist Robert Edwards，the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child，”he told the BBC.

　　Edwards，the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization(IVF)technology—more commonly known as“test­tube(试管)baby”technology—passed away on April 10 at the age of 87.(充满喜悦)in the gift of their own childg’s College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”

　　Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s，when he had just finished his PhD in genetics.At that time，much of the public viewed test-tube babies as“scary”，according to Mark Sauer，professor at Columbia University，US.

　　Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches，governments and media，not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature，”Edwards once told Times.He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.

　　“But Edwards was a fighter，and he believed in what he was doing，”said Sauer.Without support from the government，the two struggled to raise funds to carry on.And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.
