A small cloud moves slowly through the air in a hospital operating room (手术室).In the room a patient with cancer(癌症),lies on a table.The cloud is all around the patient,covering her body and filling her lungs(肺).The cloud is not smoke.It is made of millions of nano﹣robots(纳米机器人).These tiny robots move from cell (细胞) to cell in the patient's body,killing the cancer.
Fighting cancer with nano﹣robots is only an idea today,but scientists say that it could be possible in the future.Using nano﹣robots for good purposes such as fighting the illness or repairing the environment may be the way to many of today's problems.
However,nano﹣robots could be a dangerous risk as well.Because nano﹣robots are so tiny,they will have to work in large teams of many thousands to many millions.For this reason,nano﹣robots will have to be programmed(被编程)to build themselves.Scientists will not have the ability to build millions of nano﹣robots one by one.
This ability to re﹣produce is making some scientists worried.What will happen if something goes wrong in the programming?Quite a lot of crazy nano﹣robots would be far worse than any illness.Some people think that if they get out of control,nano﹣robots could make the Earth gone.
What should be done?Should we continue researching nano﹣robots or should we search for other methods?This is one of the many difficult decisions that we have to make in the future.

Last Saturday,I went to a coffee shop to meet a friend of mine.I got there ten minutes earlier.

Have you heard of Peter Pan?Peter Pan was a magic character.He first appeared in Wendy Darling's room and searched for his lost shadow(影子).And Peter Pan has been very famous around the world ever since.The story was created by J.M.Barrie.Do you know how J.M.Barrie created it?
J.M.Barrie was born in Scotland in 1860.He moved to London and became a writer in 1885.Twelve years later,he became friends with Sylvia Davies and her five sons.He enjoyed telling the boys stories and made up the character of Peter Pan to bring them pleasure.He said Peter Pan was based on all the boys,telling them,"That is all Peter is ﹣the spark(创作灵感) I got from you."
A play about Peter Pan was written and shown in December 1904.It was a great success.In 1911,J.M.Barrie wrote a book,Peter and Wendy.The book has been popular sine it was printed for the first time.J.M.Barrie invented the name Wendy,based on Fwendy,the name that he was given as a child.The name Fwendy was based on the word"friend".

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.

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.

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)?

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.

To become a better person,we should go to school every day.So how can we become powerful and start changes in our own life?Perhaps we can get some tips from the US First Lady Michelle Obama.During her visit to China,from March 20–26,Mrs.Obama shared her views on education with students.
The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education.In Chengdu No.7 High School,she told students that having poor roots doesn't matter A long as you work hard.
Mrs.Obama said her family was not rich.Like many Chinese students,her parents had big dreams for her.She felt the weight of her parents' sacrifices (牺牲) on her shoulders and worked hard to make them proud.
Persevering was not easy,though.Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 a.m.and study late into the night. "But whenever I got tired or discouraged,I would remember something my mother always told me," she said, "A good education is something that ①take,no,from,can,one,away,you."
Mrs.Obama also encourages Chinese students to study abroad. "As the Chinese B goes,
②It is better to travel 10,000 miles than to read 10,000 books," she said. "③在学校取得好成绩是不够的。It's also important to have real experience with languages,cultures and societies different from your own, " she noted.
"Studying abroad could also gain future international relations. ④It could help young people from different country work together to deal with problems such as climate change," Mrs.Obama said.

The Communist Party of China (CPC,中国共产党) was founded in 1921,which was a difficult time in China's history.(1)
The CPC led China to realize the goals of national independence and people's liberation (解放) during the revolutionary (革命的) times before 1949.(2) It has also led the people to achieve many "Chinese miracles (奇迹)."
Now,the CPC is the biggest party in the world.(3) The members of the CPC must wholeheartedly serve the people and be ready to make any personal sacrifice (牺牲).They may be your parents,uncles and aunts,grandparents or teachers.
But when danger comes,they stand out and fight for the people.(4) In the battle against COVID﹣19,CPC members fight on the frontlines.They put the interests (利益) of the country and people above their own.They take on great responsibilities just as the older generations did.
A.It has led the Chinese nation to stand up,become prosperous (繁荣的) and grow strong. B.You can get to know them through their various actions. C.The CPC wanted to save the country and give Chinese people a better life. D.It has over 91 million members. |
