PAGE PAGE 1 Unit 1 Great scientists Ⅰ.阅读理解 A My dearest son and daughter， The story of New Jersey high school student Rachel Canning suing her parents for child support and high school education inspired me to write you a little letter.Let me just put this out there：the only way I expect to see you in a court is as a lawyer or a judge.

If I do my job properly as your mother—and you do yours as my children—you would sooner get a job or two，and find a way to make your dreams come true rather than go to trial over what you think you are entitled to.
