Dogs might have the latest tools in the fight against cancer (癌症):their noses!Researchers at California's Pine Street Foundation (PSF) say they have trained five dogs to smell cancer on a prison's breath.This could be exciting news.

    A dog's sense of smell may be 10,000 to 100,000 times stronger than ours.But can dogs really smell illness?PSF researcher Michael McCulloch says yes. "We were very surprised by how exact they were," he said. "They were telling who had cancer,and they were also saying who didn't."

     McCulloch and his team asked four healthy people and one with cancer to blow into plastic tubes (塑料管).Special materials in the tubes kept the things of each breath.The tubes were then placed one yard apart.Finally the dogs were allowed to smell the tubes.Each dog had been trained for three weeks to sit when it smelled cancer.Ninety﹣nine percent of the time,the dog sat next to the tubes blown into by patients with lung cancer.The dogs were right 88 percent of the time about breast cancer.

Dogs in the Pine Street Foundation test were trained to sit when they smelled cancer.How well did they perform?Take a look at this chart to find out.

Breath Sample

Number of Times the Dogs Sat Down

Number of Times the Dogs Kept Standing

Breath from lung cancer patients

564

Breath from healthy persons

720

No lab test for cancer has given more correct results than this test.The results are so amazing that many experts question the dogs' smelling power.They wonder if there were other reasons why the dogs did so well.For example,they thought the way the dog trainers behaved could have influenced how the dogs acted.However,most experts agree that this study is important.The information could help scientists create a simple breath test for cancer in the future.Once again humans may be getting a helping paw or nose﹣from their best animal friends.

(1)What's the latest tool a dog might have in the fight against cancer?

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However,some viruses,for example,the coronavirus,are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases,like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur,and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple,safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses,mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work,telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like,and send B cells(lymphocytes)or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile,B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different,but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine,the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them,it will try to kill them.The question is:without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them?That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe,it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine,the viruses are weakened,but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them,so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective,but there is a worry:what might happen once these viruses wake up?

Therefore,although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19,it can be better.

(1)The coronavirus can    .

A.

not be killed

B.

not be found

C.

cause deaths

D.

stop pandemic

(2)Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2?    

A.

Vaccination can provide us with B cells.

B.

Vaccines are made from different viruses.

C.

Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.

D.

Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

(3)Compared to the inactivated vaccine,the live﹣attenuated vaccine    .

A.

needs taking more than once

B.

is equally safe

C.

contains viruses that are killed

D.

is more effective

(4)What can we learn from the passage?    

A.

Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.

B.

The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.

C.

The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.

D.

180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

In September,2020,I had the chance to come to China for the first time and visited Yunnan Province.

On the first day we went to a village named Xiaopingzhai.I was amazed to discover that small tea factory could bring in 6 million yuan a year with only 20 workers.

The next of our trip was the village of Kangmian.Many families now live there after leaving uninhabitable(不适合居住的)areas.The new village has 450 housing units.There I have learned that the government helps the people by providing jobs so that they can support themselves.Of the 1,331 villagers,609 now have jobs.

A set of silver ornaments can be sold for between 10,000 and 20,000 yuan on the market.The making of silver ornaments creates jobs in the village.Shuiduichong now has more than 20 family workshops.

What would you do if you had trouble seeing clearly?You would probably go to an eye doctor who might give you glasses.For many people around the world,however,such a way isn't that simple.

The World Health Organization reports that glasses can help one billion people in the world.Yet places like Ghana have only one eye doctor every 8 million people. Thismakes glasses almost impossible to get.Joshua Silver,a teacher at Oxford University,however,may have solved the problem.

Mr.Silver has developed liquid(液体)﹣filled glasses that users can adjust(调整) by themselves without seeing a doctor!The lenses(镜片) are filled with oil.Using a dial on the glasses,the user changes the amount of oil.This changes the strength(度数) of the lens.After the user finds the right strength,he then fixes the lens.
