"I spent my whole life doing one thing," Gu Fangzhou once said.Known as "the father of sugar pills (糖丸)",Gu passed away on January 2,2019.Eight months later,he received a national honorary﹣title (荣誉称号) "the People's Scientist" for his polio (脊髓灰质炎) research.
Gu Fangzhou,a famous medical scientist,was born in June,1926.Gu's family faced a difficult time with the sudden death of his father.He studied hard and finally entered Peking University as a medical student in 1944.After graduation,Gu made the decision to work to help improve public health.
In 1955,polio broke out in Nantong,Jiangsu Province.It paralyzed (使瘫痪) 1,680 people,mostly children aged below seven.It spread to neighboring areas and resulted in 466 deaths.Gu was asked to lead polio research in 1957. "At that time the only way to prevent polio was to invent a vaccine (疫苗)," said Gu.
In 1959 Gu succeeded in developing the first polio live vaccine.Later,he developed the "sugar﹣coated pill" vaccine in the early 1960s.It not only tasted better but was more affordable and easier to keep.To test the vaccine,Gu tried the vaccine in person and later his one﹣month﹣old son was vaccinated.This inspired his team to vaccinate their kids.They became the first group of people in China to try a polio vaccine. "If we don't believe in what we produce,how can others believe in it?" said Gu.
Gradually,the sugar﹣coated polio vaccine was made available in China.It saved millions of people,especially kids,from being disabled.In 2000,the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that China was already a polio﹣free country. "We feel satisfied.I can tell people that I tried my best,and your kids will no longer get polio," said Gu. "That's all we hoped for. "

I came to the United States from Africa to live with my uncle Jim in Maryland.One year later,I lost my sight because of a serious illness.
Jim told me not to go out.He worried I would get lost or hit by a car.But I was dogged.I told him I'd pay attention.I believed I'd succeed.I must succeed.I must put my will into action.I dreamed of being a broadcaster.
Then a neighbor told me that a public library in Washington D.C.was offering a free course,specially designed for blind people,This was an important chance for me.
But how would I map my way?I knew that the American singer Ray Charles,also blind,got around on his own without a cane (手杖).His secret was to count steps.But I couldn't seem to do that way.Instead I developed my imagination.sensing the layout (布局)of places I Visited and taking notes of landmarks in my mind.
At first,I would have to stop to imagine and map a new space in my mind,The next time I visited that place,I'd use that to find the way.Today.I am used to doing it,But I've still lost my way many times.I'd have to swallow my pride to ask for help,not thinking what others think or say about me.
Sometimes I'd be down and I'd consider giving up.Perhaps my uncle was right.Maybe I'd stay home and wait until someone came to help.On those days when I lost my way,I'd go to bed with a bad feeling.▲.I had e strong wish 10 bear blindness and be successful,and that was usually enough to get me out of bed the next day and try again.
Along the way I learned to be patient with myself and realized that asking for help didn't diminish (贬低)me in any way,I've got three academic degrees so far.
Today,I'm a reporter and broadcaster.I've achieved my dream.
Yes,I've lost my way many times and found it again.Yes,I've come close to being hit by a car but never bee hit by one.When people ask, "Aren't you afraid to be out alone?" the answer to me is clear;I would face danger and find happiness instead of staying home and being unhappy.

As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,do people remember less?if you know your computer will store information,why do you store it in your own personal memory,your brain?Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study,Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments(实验).She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment,they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store it.Later,the second group remembered the information better.People in the first group knew they could find the information again,so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.However,they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive memory (交互记忆)".
According to Sparrow,we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet.Instead,computer users are developing stronger transitive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
(1)Why does the writer begin the text with two questions?
A.To explain some thoughts.

D.To draw the readers' attention.
(2)What can we learn form the first experiment?
A.Sparrow put the information into the computer.
B.Both groups remember the information well.
C.Group 1 remembered the information faster.
D.Group 2 remembered the information better.
(3)What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment?
A.People organize the information like a computer.
B.People remember how to find the information.
C.People remember how to make a folder.
D.People keep the information in mind.
(4)What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion(结论)?
A.People become more and more clever.
B.The way people use memory is changing.
C.The way people make experiments is changing.
D.People's memories become poorer than before.
Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why?Some people think kindness is something out of love and care,while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate (激活)an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood (情绪).But why and how does it happen?Here are a number of different ways.
Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation,people around may be smiling,too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain(链条)of good feelings to people around?
Secondly,being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly,charities(慈善)also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.
In another recent research,even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind,he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.
The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood,but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood,you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship,doesn't it?

One cannot discuss Chinese music without mentioning the guqin,one of the four arts-along with game of go,calligraphy(书法)and painting.It first appeared over 3,000 years ago and stands for China's solo musical instrument tradition.
At first,the guqin had only five strings(弓玄),meaning the five elements(元素)of metal,wood,water,fire and earth.Later,in Zhou Dynasty,King Wen of Zhou added a sixth string for his son.King Wu of Zhou,added a seventh string to encourage his army to fight with the Shang.
Ambiencewas important in playing the guqin.Usually,it was practiced in a quiet setting and never for public performance.Ancient artists enjoyed performing by a stream in the mountains.The sound of the guqin mixed with the echoes(回音)from the mountains,until the musician felt he was at one with nature.Playing it in snow was also an enjoyable activity for ancient artists,who believed the instrument was the purest of its kind in the world.Also,a night with moonlight was considered wonderful for playing the guqin.Wang Wei(701-761),a highly talented man of the Tang Dynasty,liked playing it in a bamboo forest on nights with moonlight most.
Guqin pieces are usually three to eight minutes long,with the longest being Guangling Verse,which is 22 minutes long.Other famous pieces include Plum Blossoms in Three Movements,Wild Geese Landing on the Sandbank and Eighteen Songs of a Nomad Flute.
Nowadays,there are fewer than one thousand well﹣trained guqin players and perhaps no more than fifty living masters.The original number of several thousand pieces has greatly reduced to only one hundred works by today.The guqin and its music was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人类非物质文化遗产)in 2003.

If your pencil box is broken,the batteries(电池)in your flashlights run out,or you have some leftover food,how will you deal with these things?You will probably throw them all into one rubbish bin.But actually,we need to sort(分类)all the rubbish separately.If you don't sort your rubbish,all of it will go to a special place where it is buried(埋藏)together.As a result,it will take up some fields.Some rubbish will pollute the groundwater.Some rubbish that can be reused will be wasted.
In recent years,some Chinese cities have been working hard on rubbish sorting.
Shanghai has called on all the people living in this city to sort their rubbish into four groups:wet,recyclable,harmful and dry.Wet waste is known as household waste.They are things you don't want but pigs can eat.Paper,metal,glass,plastic and other things that can be reused are recyclable waste.Harmful waste includes thins like medicine,batteries.Finally,any waste that is not wet,recyclable or harmful will go to the "dry waste" bin.
Many other Chinese cities are also using this way to sort their rubbish.For example,Deyang has been sorting its rubbish into the same four groups since several years ago.Students in Deyang have already received waste﹣sorting guidebooks.They have studied these books and known how to sort the rubbish.
China is now improving its waste﹣sorting efforts.There is still a long way to go.But it's never too late to learn how to sort your rubbish rightly.We should take an active part in it.

Is there something in your community that could be changed?Is there a person in your neighborhood who could offer help?If If you're hoping for someone to make a difference,that someone could be you!
Volunteering your time is a great way to make a difference in your community.And you'll feel good about doing something that helps people or improves the places around you.
This past summer,my friends and I noticed how messy our neighborhood park was.We wanted to be different.We worked with our parents and teachers to clean up the park,We had a great time making the park even better than before,and now the whole neighborhood is able to share and enjoy it again.
Maybe cleaning up a park isn't your choice,though.No problem!You can turn anything that matters to you into a volunteer project.Do you like playing chess reading,or spending time with your pet?You can volunteer to do what you love to do.For example,you could help at an old people's center,simply by talking or playing games with them to make their days better.If you re great at math or English.you could volunteer to be a homework helper at your school.You're always needed to walk dogs or play with cats,Or you can collect things for homeless people,such as soap and toothbrushes.

It was Saturday again.Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays.That was another thing the twins had in common.They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner.In fact,it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates,they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons.Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today," said the twins with one voice.All at once,an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. "Do you have the same idea as me?" they asked each other and laughed.It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.After giving each other a description of their own friends,Lily put on Lucy's ballet dress while Lucy put Lily's brushes and paints into her bag.Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started,Lucy couldn't understand the art teacher.Unlike Lily,Lucy was poor at drawing.When the art lesson finally ended,Lucy didn't dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile,Lily was struggling in the ballet class as well.As she had no idea about the dance steps,she had to follow her classmates blindly.As a result,she kept knocking into them.Their ballet teacher became impatient with her, "Lucy,you should remember the basic steps.You can't depend on copying what others are doing."

DNA is the whole"map" of the human body.It is something that all humans have,and it tells the body what to do.DNA is the reason that we look like our parents,because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time.In 1860,Mr Mendel discovered why we look similar to other people in our family.It is because of small things called "genes(基因)"in our body.In 1953,two scientists,Watson and Crick,found out that those small parts are real messages.They are written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961,another two scientists found the first "word" that they could understand in that language.It shows how DNA tells the cell(细胞) to build its parts.So far,scientists have found all the words in the DNA map,but we do not understand what they all do.By understanding what just one "word" means,we can help to save people from several illnesses.So the more we understand ,the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine to help sick people,Other people worry that when we learn more "words" and find out more information,we will use it in the wrong way,just to make people more attractive(有吸引力的)or stop sick people getting jobs.

Just at that time,a beautiful peacock(孔雀) showed up.When Turkey saw the beautiful feathers of the peacock,he became speechless.The other animals began to laugh."I look like a fool." thought Turkey.He ran out of the house as quickly as he could.
And then,no one saw Turkey for several days.Everyone began to feel bad about what they did.They looked for Turkey everywhere.They just wanted to teach him to be humble.They didn't want to hurt his feelings.Finally,they found Turkey in an old tree.He looked quite sad.

If we want to grow as people,we can't just depend on our own evaluation(评价)of how we're doing.We also need to know what other people think about our performance.Receiving feedback(反馈)from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success.However,someone has to give that feedback,and sometimes,that someone will be you.How should you deal with this?
First things first-if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful,give it as soon as you can.If you wait until the matter disappears from the person's mind,they might not understand what you're trying to tell them.Take the person to a safe,comfortable place and offer your advice in private.
When you're giving feedback,it's important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they're doing a bad job.Make sure you give an equal(相等的)amount of good feedback to balance out(平衡)anything bad.Like the saying goes, " A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down."
All good feedback shares something in common.First,it should help achieve a goal.It's less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes "interesting" than it is to suggest adding a little salt.Feedback should also look toward the future.You can't change what's already happened,but you can prevent it from happening again.Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.
Finally,don't think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation.You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback.Don't take it personally﹣﹣it can only help you give better advice next time.
(1)What does the underlined word "this" in Paragraph probably mean?
A. |
Seeing the picture. |
B. |
Giving feedback. |
C. |
Receiving feedback. |
D. |
Showing a way to success. |

Boyan Slat has been dreaming of cleaning up the world's oceans for a long time.
In 2010,he went on a diving (潜水)vacation in Greece and was shocked."I saw more plastic bags than fish in the water," he said.
From then on,Slat began to pay more attention to ocean pollution.He decided to give up higher education and set up the Ocean Cleanup,a non﹣government organization.Its purpose is to clean up ocean rubbish.He has set up the world's first ocean cleanup system ( 系统)with his team.
Every year,over 8 million tons of plastic end up in our oceans,and it can take up to 500 years to break down.In 2018,the World Economic Forum predicted that the weight of ocean plastic would match that of all the fish in our oceans by 2050.Sea animals easily get caught in plastic.They can't move.They can even die if they eat it.Smaller plastic pieces can also enter the food chain (链)and end up in our bodies.
Slat's plan was to create an environmentally﹣friendly,large system to clear out plastic rubbish from the ocean.
After seven years of tests,on October 2nd,2019,a machine called System 001/B came out.It successfully caught and collected a large amount of plastic rubbish floating in the ocean.
Slat and his team are working to improve System 001/B.Their dream is to clear out 90 percent of all the ocean plastic by 2040.
