26、Studying the DNA of 300 mice has flagged up genes which have been linked to hereditary (遗传的) sight loss for the first time. Researchers say because mice’s genes are so similar to humans’, their findings could lead to the treatment of more genetic diseases.
Scientists at the University of California, Davis studied information from a data bank of mice’s genetic material. They found 347 genes linked to eye problems, with just 86 of them having been studied in the past.
Only around 50 to 75 percent of hereditary eye diseases in human can be explained with present science. The researchers believe these hundreds of new genes found in mice could be a key to explaining-and therefore being able to treat the other 25-50 percent.
“This is extremely valuable for people with hereditary eye disease,” said researcher Professor Ala Moshiri. “All researchers are going to start using these data. In the past, we knew the problem was there but we didn’t know where to look. Now eye centers can call back patients and screen them for these new genes. We expected that more and more of these genetic diseases will be treatable.” Also, the fact is that more than 60 percent of eye problems at birth are ones resulting from the baby’s parents!
Thanks to data from the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC), which is trying to work out what every single gene in a mouse is responsible for, with the aim of translating it to humans, scientists are moving closer to figuring out all genetic causes of blindness. To do this, scientists separate a single gene from other ones at a time and then observe what effect it has on the mouse for a long time. This has so far been done more than 7,000 times and has achieved great success. Researchers are now working alongside eye care centers in Texas and Iowa in order to compare the mice’s genes to those of patients.

27、 Guana was born from a family with 7 children. His parents had two jobs to make ends meet and struggled to pay for basic expenses. Guana was once a cleaner at a school but now he is a superintendent(教育学监), leading the Byron Union School District in rural northern California.
Guana always remembers when he wanted to give up, someone would encourage him. One was the cleaner at his school when he was a boy. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. Guana wanted those kinds of shoes, too, but his parents could not afford them. Young Gauna liked how Nike made everything so clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. Nike said, “it’s good if you want to be a cleaner, but make sure that you go to college and make this as one of your steps there.”
Guana also looked up to the principal(校长), the leader at his school. He was a tall, friendly and good-looking man. He told Guana about his job helping students and teachers. And he said, “Well, if you don’t give up, you’ll get there.” Guana did get there, and two men remain friends. But before Guana became a school principal, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and become a cleaner. He worked for three schools in Lodi, California, which helped him earn the money needed for his first two years of college. He earned a high-level university education and gained a doctor’s degree. Then he worked as a campus safety officer, teacher, counselor, administrator, and now superintendent.
Even though Guana has had a successful career, he never forgets where he came from, or how he felt. He uses his life experiences to guide him as a leader.
For example, Guana’s younger sister needs a wheelchair to get around. To this day, her disability(残疾) helps him as a school administrator to help and support special children. In Guana’s school system today, everyone is important and invited to parties and events.
【1】Why did Guana have the idea to become a cleaner?
A.He was eager to earn money to go to college.

A.How Guana overcame the difficulties.
B.How Guana received the doctor’s degree.
C.How Guana became a leader from a cleaner.
D.How Guana got help from the previous principal.
【3】What is the author’s purpose of the last paragraph?

29、 For many children in the United States, going back to school means more than returning to classes. It means getting back to school groups and student organizations interested in environmental protection.
April Peebler is the leader of a California-based group called Heirs to our Oceans. It tries to help 12-to-17-year-olds from around the world to learn about and fight for environmental protection. Peebler believed that young people are usually more active in environmental protection than adults.
Perhaps the most famous teenage environmental protector is 16-year-old Greta Thunberg from Sweden, the leader of Green Angel. She inspired others to start climate-change campaigns around the world last year. At a recent meeting in Davos, Thunberg said, "I don't want you to be hopeful. I want you to feel the fear I feel every day. And then I want you to act." Thunberg plans to speak at the United Nations Climate Action Summit in New York City Inter this month. She will join world leaders who are expected to discuss plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (排放),which are the main reason for global warming.
Joelle Alley is head of Earth Team, a California-based group. It offers programs for children interested in environmental protection and pays those who finally sign up. Alley says Earth Team organizes teams of 14 students from each high school in the Richmond, California. Then they work with adults to find environmental problems around them and then come up with measures to help solve the problems.
The Food Recovery Network is one of the largest student-led movements fighting food waste and hunger. Students at U.S. colleges connect college dining halls, local shelters and food bank to make sure leftover food is given to those in need. Regina Anderson, the group's director, says students have recovered 3.9 million pounds of food so far this year.
【1】How many organizations are mentioned in the passage?

C.5. D.6.
【2】The Food Recovery Network fights food waste and hunger by______

30、I have just finished my 23rd year of teaching at universities. And there have been several ______ in the way students approach their classes. The most noticeable is that when I started teaching, students took notes in notebooks, but now every desk has a laptop on it when I give a lecture.
There seem to be a lot of obvious ______ of taking notes on a computer. For one it is easy to save the notes in a place where you can ______ them later. For another, you will be able to read your notes late especially if your handwriting is poor.
Before we go out and encourage every student to bring a laptop to class, ______ , it is worth checking out a study by Pam Mueller and Danny Oppenheimer. They compared college students' ______ in tests following exposure to material. The students were assigned either to take notes by hand or using a laptop.
In the first study, students took notes while watching a lecture. Then, they engaged in other activities for about 30 minutes. Finally, they were given a quiz about the lecture. The quiz contained factual questions as well as conceptual questions that required some ______ of the subject matter Students did about equally well on the factual question ______ how they took notes. However, the students did much ______ on the conceptual questions when they took notes by hand than when they took them using the laptop.
The experiments ______ the content of people's notes to the lecture and found that when people typed their notes on a laptop, they were much more likely to ______ what people said directly rather than writing their impressions of it. That is, people writing out their notes had to think more ______ about the content of what they heard than those people who were just typing.
Then, in the second study, the experiments told people using the laptops to take good notes rather than just taking down what they heard. Even when people were given these ______ , they still had a greater tendency to type what they heard than people who were taking notes by hand. As before, the people who used the laptops did more poorly on a test of ______ knowledge than those who took notes by hand.
So there is real value in having to ______ the material in the process of taking notes. It is because handwriting is slow and ______ that people have to think more clearly about what they want to write down rather than copying down what is being said.
