“I have cancer.” Mom said and held me in a tight hug. I could feel her chest shaking as she tried not to cry but failed.
For all of my twenty-four years, my mom had been supportive. Strength and protection had always flowed from her to me. Now I knew it would have to flow the other way.
Mom didn’t stay down for long. After the shock of breast-cancer, she armed herself with a notebook and a pen and a thousand questions for the doctors. She took notes on white blood cell counts and medications (药物) with long names as though she were studying for entrance exams into medical school. “The not-knowing is the worst.” she said.
The operation was successful. The chemo (化疗) was the harder part. I went with Mom to every chemo treatment. She rarely complained, though her hair was gone and her toenails and fingernails fell out one by one. She joked that she could save money on nail polish and put it toward the doctor bills, even though she never wore nail polish. “Cancer can take my hair, my nails, my health, my very life. But it can’t take my smile.” Mom said.
Mom learned to share her fears with me, and it formed an even deeper bond between us. Yet I am certain there were fears she didn’t share because she was still protecting me — worries she only shared with Dad. Even in the darkest hours, she would just joke about the cancer. Mom always said, “When you look your greatest fear in the eye and laugh at it, you take away some of its power.”
Mom was one of the lucky ones. She did beat her cancer, though not without scars. From her, I’ve learned I may not get to choose what I face, but I do get to choose how I face it.
What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean
There were other ways to treat cancer.
I should be the one being there for Mom.
Mom had to stay stronger to beat cancer.
Knowledge of cancer would be helpful.
Which of the following words can best describe Mom
A. Optimistic and determined. B. Considerate and ambitious.
C. Humorous and generous. D. Caring and knowledgeable.
Why didn’t Mom share all the fears with the author
A. She only shared with Dad. B. She would just joke about the cancer.
C. She wanted to protect the author. D. She formed a deeper bond with the author.
What lesson did the author learn from Mom
Luck counts in beating diseases.
Complaint does no good to one’s health.
Sharing feelings helps reduce sufferings a lot.
Positive attitudes get one through hardship.
C
Have you ever noticed that the stars sometimes appear brighter in December, January and February There’s a link between cold air and the night lights. “Part of it is that it tends to be drier in the winter,” said Diane Tumshek, an astronomer at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Even though it’s invisible, moisture (湿度) can change the way light moves through the air. And in the summer, moisture can make stars appear more dull.
Air temperature is also what puts the twinkle twinkle in the little stars. “Even on very clear nights, some of the atmosphere is cooler, and some of the atmosphere is warmer,” said Tumshek, who also works with the Allegheny Observatory. “And when the light from a star passes through those bubbles of varying temperatures, it is bent and shifted, so we are seeing stars appear to dance or twinkle,” she said.
For star lovers in the United States, there’s another factor that comes into play for bright winter stars, although this is a matter of coincidence. “During Earth’s journey around the sun, there are just simply more bright stars visible from the Northern Hemisphere in the winter sky,” Tumshek said. If you really want to see a shiny star, just try to find a burning ball of gas called Sirius near the horizon. At 8.6 light-years away, Sirius is relatively close to Earth and the brightest star visible in the night sky. It is also large—nearly twice as big as our sun and 20 times as bright. So this winter, when the world turns cold and it seems like we should be spending more time indoors, consider asking an adult to go exploring outside. With a warm coat and a clear sky, any night can be turned into a treasure hunt. All you have to do is look up.
What does the underlined word “dull” in Paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Not exciting. B. Not shiny. C. Not severe. D. Not smart.
How does air temperature influence the brightness of stars
By changing the bubbles around them.
By putting the twinkle in them.
By making the stars dance and twinkle in the sky.
By varying the direction of the light from them.
What do we know about Sirius
A. It can be found at any night. B. It is closer to Earth than other stars.
C. It is 20 times as bright as the sun. D. It is a burning and shiny ball.
What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
To explain why stars are more visible in winter.
To present new research results about stars.
To call on people to focus on stars.
To advocate stargazing in winter.
D
“Going wireless is the future for just about everything!” That is a quote from scientist Sreekanth Chalasani, and we can’t help but agree. Realizing this, a team of scientists has made a breakthrough toward wirelessly controlling human cells using sound, in a technique called “sonogenetics (声遗传学).” This concept may seem strange but let us explain.
Basically, the term “sonogenetics” means using ultrasound (超声波) to change the behavior of
cells in a non-invasive manner. “We already know that ultrasound is safe, and that it can go through bone, muscle and other tissues, making it the ultimate tool for controlling cells deep in the body,” says Chalasani.
Low-frequency ultrasound waves can target a particular protein that is sensitive to the signal. This research, published in Nature Communications, focused on TRPA1. When this protein is stimulated through the ultrasound waves, it also stimulates the cells which carry it. What type of cell is being stimulated depends on the outcome. For example, a muscle cell may contract with stimulation, or a neuron ( 神经元) in the brain will fire. In this experiment, scientists genetically marked cells with an increased concentration of TRPA1, making them the key targets of the ultrasound waves.
Currently, treating conditions like Parkinson’s disease requires scientists to implant electrodes (电极) in the brain which stimulate certain disordered cells. Researchers hope that sonogenetics can one day replace these invasive treatments.
In the future, the team wants to adjust the placement and amount of TRPAI around the body using the gene treatment. Gene delivery techniques have already been shown to be successful in humans, such as in treating blindness. Therefore, it’s just a case of adjusting this theory to a different sound-based setting.
“Gene delivery techniques already exist for getting a new gene—such as TRPA1—into the human heart,” Chalasani says. “If we can then use an external ultrasound device to activate those cells, that could really change pacemakers.” There is still a while to go before this treatment can become a reality. The future for sonogenetics, though, looks bright.
What’s working principle for sonogenetics A．Using medicine interventional therapies.
B．Changing cells’ shape with new equipment. C．Controlling cells in a non-invasive manner. D．Using a kind of unique medical composition.
What did the scientists do in the experiment
A．Change the concentration of the protein. B．Find target cells for treatment precisely. C．Analyze the protein sensitive to the sign.
D．Choose the type of cell to be stimulated.
What can we learn about sonogenetics from Paragraphs 4 and 5
It can be applied to other fields besides medicine.
It may replace some traditional medical therapies.
It will totally transform gene delivery techniques.
It has succeeded in curing diseases like blindness.
What’s the best title for the text
Can cells be controlled by sound
How is sonogenetics clinically used
Are gene delivery techniques available
What are applications of sonogenetics

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
With the start of new school, freshmen of Hendersonville High School in Nashville were excited to meet new classmates and teachers. Among them, however, 15-year-old Sergio Peralta was feeling very nervous because his right hand had never fully formed since he was born. Going to a new school and being “different" is always scary. Sergio was particularly concerned with what his classmates would think of him.
Sergio's parents had trained him to use his left hand from an early age. As he grew up, he was used to not using his right hand. He could write with his left one and do some things with special tricks or techniques. Despite this, in the first days of new school, Sergio always felt like hiding his underdeveloped right hand in his sleeve as if nobody would ever find out if he did so.
It didn't take long for someone to learn Sergio's secret. Jeff Wilkins, the teacher of Sergio's engineering class, figured out that Sergio was missing part of his hand and decided to do something for the new student. Jeff had been leading a robotics project in the school and expert in 3D printing technology. Besides, he hoped to take advantage of this hands-on chance to help his robotics students learn more about engineering and how building a robotic hand worked.
So in his class, Jeff announced with great enthusiasm, “You're supposed to be engineering, coming up with new ideas and solving issues. Now Sergio needs a new hand, so we'll work together to build Sergio a robotic hand." His words fueled everyone's curiosity and creativity.
For the next four weeks, Jeff and his class including Sergio worked on the project. After some precise measurements and researches, the class put forward a design draft. Jeff made a few improvements and gave them some practical suggestions. With access to online models and a 3D printer, they eventually created a robotic hand, which was intended to look good and work well, like catching something.

Then came the final testing day. The whole class gathered in the science classroom, watching breathlessly as Jeff carefully loaded their self-made robotic hand onto Sergio's right arm. It fitted quite well! So excited was Sergio that his arm trembled slightly. Having put a baseball on the desk, Jeff signed to Sergio to pick it up. Slowly, Sergio extended his right hand and reached for the ball. Successfully he caught hold of it and everyone present broke into cheers! Holding the ball, Sergio couldn't contain his tears. Never in his life did he expect to catch something with his right hand!
The life-changing gift for Sergio drew huge attention. Jeff and his students became an instant hit and various media competed to cover the news. When interviewed about the intention of the project, Jeff said, “I intended Sergio's robotic hand to show our support for him. Meanwhile, I hope to foster students' scientific spirit through this hands-on operation.” His students stated that Jeff challenged them to turn abstract knowledge into reality, from which they benefited greatly. Soon voluntary donations poured in, which would go to the school's scientific research and help students develop better.

W: Hi, everyone. As we are waiting here, let me introduce Castle Howard to you. Castle Howard has become a popular tourist attraction in recent years. Though its name contains the word “castle”, it is not a true castle, because it was never used for defence. Castle Howard is actually an English country house. It has been home to the Howard family for more than 300 years. Over the years, a number of films have been shot there. When you visit it tomorrow, you’ll see many things. Perhaps there’s too much to see, but make sure you don’t miss these two things. First, the Walled Gardens. It is a group of three gardens. You can find 2,000 different types of roses there, almost all types of roses in England. The Walled Gardens is open every day of the year, except Christmas. Second, the Woodland Garden. It is known for flowering plants, fruit trees and pathways through a wooded setting. In a word, Castle Howard is really beautiful. You could spend a whole day enjoying its beauty tomorrow.
