"The Man with the Golden Arm" may sound like the name of some superhero in a comic book. But this name
belongs to 78-year-old James Harrison—an Australian man who has donated blood almost every week, saving more
than 2 million babies in the process.
Harrison told CNN, an American channel, about why he chooses to donate, even though it's not the most
pleasurable experience: "Never once have I watched the needle go in my arm. I can't stand the sight of blood, and I
can't stand pain."
An amazingly unique antibody ( 抗 体 ) in Harrison's blood makes it a true lifesaver for babies who could be
affected by rhesus disease.
The condition occurs during some pregnancies, when a woman who has rhesus-negative blood produces
antibodies that destroy her babies' cells. This can happen when the baby has the same rhesus-positive blood as the
father. Rhesus disease can cause health issues in babies. It can even result in death.pregnancy. The injection helped
guarantee her second son would be born healthy.
"Dad had always donated—we knew that," Mellowship said. "But it didn't hit home until I was pregnant and
knew the consequences."
4.From the first two paragraphs, what can we infer about Harrison?
A. He is humorous and smart. B. He is brave and unselfish.
C. He is friendly but nervous. D. He is optimistic but weak.
5.What can we learn about the babies affected by rhesus disease?
A. They have the same blood type as their mothers. B. They develop the disease after being born.
C. They can't form blood themselves. D. They grow problematic cells.
6.Harrison's blood can .
A. help patients develop Anti-D B. help avoid the risk of rhesus disease
C. cure rhesus disease affected babies D. stop babies from producing antibodies7.Before Mellowship was injected Anti-D, her family didn't .
A. understand the meaning of Harrison's act B. expect she would have another healthy son
C. realize the high rate of potential rhesus disease D. know Harrison held a record for donating blood
C
Researchers discovered a hidden continent on Earth, but it's not Atlantis. They found it while reconstructing the
evolution of Mediterranean region's complex geology, which rises with mountain ranges and dips with seas from
Spain to Iran.
The continent is called Greater Adria. It's the size of Greenland and it broke off from North Africa, only to be
buried under Southern Europe about 140 million years ago. And chances are you've been there without even
knowing it. “Forget Atlantis,” said Douwe, study author and professor at Utrecht University. “Without realizing it,
vast numbers of tourists spend their holiday each year on the lost continent of Greater Adria.” This area is called
Adria by geologists, so the researchers for this study refer to the previously undiscovered continent as Greater Adria.
Most of Greater Adria was underwater, covered by shallow seas, coral reefs and sediments (沉 淀 物). The
sediments formed rocks and those rocks became mountain ranges in these areas : the Alps, the Apennines, the
Balkans, Greece and Turkey. The researchers found that Greater Adria started to become its own continent about 240
million years ago.
This isn't the first time a lost continent has been found. In January 2017, researchers announced the discovery of
a lost continent left over from the supercontinent Gondwana, which began breaking apart 200 million years ago. The
leftover piece, which was covered in lava (岩浆), is now under Mauritius, an island in the Indian Ocean. And in
September 2017, a different research team found the lost continent of Zealandia through ocean drilling in the South
Pacific. It’s two-thirds of a mile beneath the sea.
Greater Adria isn’t the first lost continent to be found. But if research in past years shows anything, it likely
won’t be the last discovery.
8. How did the researchers find Greater Adria?
A. They found it accidentally.
B. They got inspired by the tales of Atlantis.
C. They discovered it after years of searching.
D. They followed the steps of exploring mountain ranges.
9. What do we know about Greater Adria?
A. It is hidden under the sea level. B. It is much smaller than Greenland.
C. It has existed for about 240 million years. D. It has been known to many tourists before.
10. Why are the discoveries mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To describe how the researchers explored continents.
B. To show some other lost continents have been found.
C. To prove they are closely related to Greater Adria.
D. To explain the reason why Greater Adria got buried.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. Atlantis Discovered Finally B. Undersea World Explored
C. A Hidden Mountain Undiscovered D. A Lost Continent Found Under Europe

In a major medical breakthrough, Tel Aviv University researchers have “printed” the world's first 3D
vascularized (有血管的)engineered heart using a patient’s own cells and biological materials. Their findings were
published on April IS in a study in Advanced Science.
“This is the first time anyone anywhere has successfully engineered and printed an entire heart,” says Prof. Tal
Dvir of Department of Materials Science and Engineering, who led the research for the study. “This heart is made
from human cells and patient-specific biological materials. In our process, these materials serve as the bioinks, something made of sugars and proteins that can be used for 3D printing of complex tissue models,” Prof, Dvir says.
“People managed to 3D print the structure of a heart in the past, but not with cells or with blood vessels (血管).Our
results demonstrate the potential of our approach for engineering personalized tissue and organ replacement in the
future.”
According to Prof. Dvir,the use of “ native ” patient-specific materials is important to successfully engineering
tissues and organs.
The researchers are now planning on culturing the printed hearts in the lab and “ teaching them to behave” like
hearts, Prof. Dvir says. They then plan to transplant the 3D-printed heart in animal models.
“We need to develop the printed heart further,” he concludes. “The cells need to form a pumping ability ;
they can currently contract (收缩),but we need them to work together. Our hope is that we will succeed and prove
our method’s efficacy (功效)and usefulness. “Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals
around the world,and these procedures will be conducted routinely. ”
12. What does Prof. Dvir think of an early 3D-printed heart?
A. It was highly practical. B. It was too expensive.
C. It was personalized. D. It was too simple.
13. What do we know about the latest 3D-printed heart?
A. It can be cultured in the lab.
B. It can match a patient perfectly.
C. It has been transplanted in animals.
D. It has been widely used in hospitals,
14. What is Prof, Dvir's attitude to the development of the printed heart?
A. Ambiguous. B. Positive.
C. Disapproving. D. Cautious.
15. What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A To explain the basic principle of 3D technology.
B. To introduce a breakthrough of medical research.
C. To doubt the medical value of a new invention.
D. To prove the effectiveness of the new technology.

A memorable science project
If someone tells you to remember a phone number or address, it feels like an easy task at first. You repeat the
numbers to yourself, either aloud or in your mind. But after just a few seconds you might find yourself starting to
doubt your own memory. ___16___ Thus, it will try to throw away information that seems old or irrelevant. There
are ways of helping our minds retain (记住) information, however, and in this activity you will explore ways that we
lose and keep memories
Short-term, or working memory, is a way of describing most people’s abilities to store a small amount of
information for a brief period of time in a readily accessible form ___17___ People don’t have to stop and think to
remember something in short term memory.
___18___ Such techniques include visualizing (观察) the information in a surprising way or linking pieces of
information together so that one reminds you of the other. In the case of visualizing information, this could be as
simple as remembering you parked your car on the fifth floor in the D section by picturing five dogs sitting in your
car! ___19___ If you need to purchase cereal (谷物), milk, fruit, cheese and eggs, you could imagine the cereal in a
bowl, with milk pouring over it and pieces of fruit on top. Then imagine cracking an egg over everything, and it’s
full of melted cheese! These may seem simple or even silly. ___20___ In this activity you’ll test the recall of a few
friends or family members, and learn a few tricks for improving memory!A. There are many techniques for improving memory.

The most delicious memories seem to happen during the holidays. And like a squirrel preparing for winter, I put
them away to enjoy slowly during the long winter months. Sometimes, I enjoy them for years.
Among them are sweetest recollections: my little girls at the church play and the moment they got their first
angel wings; a pink dolly stroller(手推车) wheeled into the bedroom with a tiny voice declaring, “Look what Santa
Claus brought me!”; or New Year’s snowmen wearing bright scarves borrowed from a grandma’s fragrant drawer.
But there is one memory that is a little bittersweet -- sort of like 80% dark chocolate, but still good for you.
This story brings to mind a colorful candy dish and a very little boy. The occasion was somewhere between
Christmas and New Year’s when a few candies in a dish remained behind, a bright spot in dull winter gray.
Wrapped in December’s chill, my then 3-year old grandson, Justin, and I had dashed from the warmth of my
parked car into the building where I planned to take care of a few work-related tasks.
A smiling secretary greeted us as we brushed the snowflakes and rubbed our hands to chase the cold. Then with
my grandchild close to my side, I busied myself, finishing the items of business that had brought us there. But while
his hand remained in mine, his eyes fell on the candy dish sitting nearby.
As we turned to leave, the thoughtful and very observant woman behind the desk asked the question all children
wait to hear.
“Honey,” the kindly woman said, peering over her glasses at Justin. “Would you like a candy bar?” she asked,
her hand pushing the dish close for an easier reach.
The boy looked up questioningly, his eyes meeting mine, permission hanging in the air. A slight nod from me
and then a hurried beeline to the candy dish followed. One candy bar was already in his hand.
“Justin!” I said from the doorway. _____________________________________________________________
