22、 In the future,we may not need to rely on human donations for life-saving skin grafts(移植).
That’s the goal of Xeno Therapeutics, a biotech non-profit organization. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the group’s initial application for temporary skin grafts removed from genetically modified(基因改良)pigs. This means that they can start testing pig skin grafts on people who have experienced severe burns.
Skin,the body’s largest organ,plays an important role in blocking pathogens(病原体) from reaching our organs inside. It also helps the body keep a constant temperature. People with severe skin damage are at a high risk of developing deadly infections as a result of changes in temperature.
At the moment, the only skin grafts available in the US come from the dead people who have agreed to be organ donors, or patients who have gone through surgery to remove skin after large weight loss. These human skins used for grafts are not easy to find.
Xeno Therapeutics, which gets its name from animal-to-human transplants, has raised pigs that have skin remarkably similar to our own. Grafts from these pigs are therefore more likely to hide without being detected by the host's immune system—at least temporarily. The idea is that they could be used for immediate burn treatment, followed human skin graft treatment later.
“I’d say that just like comparing a Coke with Pepsi,it would be hard to tell which was the human skin and which was the pig graft,” said Xeno Therapeutics CEO Paul Holzer.
The non-profit organization has been working to conduct the clinical trials, which will only be testing the grafts’ safety and tolerability in six patients with severe burns. Assuming the results are positive after a month, the grafts will need to pass through two more stages of testing before they can be approved for widespread clinical use.
Several other groups around the world are working to make animal organs suitable for clinical medicine. In Brazil, researchers are exploring using tilapia skin as temporary bandages for burn victims whose skin is regrowing.
【1】What’s the aim of Xeno Therapeutics?
A.To make profit from the grafts. B.To apply pig skin on human patients.
C.To modify pigs genetically. D.To test people with severe burns.
【2】Why is skin important to human body?
A.It acts as a protective layer for our body. B.It helps us recover from deadly diseases.
C.It prevents itself from being damaged. D.It keeps one’s temperature changing.
【3】What is Paul Holzer’s attitudes towards the pig skin grafts?
A.Doubtful. B.Worried.
C.Confident. D.Flexible.
【4】What can we know about the grafts?
A.Only skin removed from pigs can be used for grafts.
B.Brazilian doctors have also applied pig skin for grafts.
C.Animal skin has been used on six patients safely.
D.They won't be put to use until they pass test
23、People have speculated (思索) for centuries about a future without work. Some imagine that the coming work-free world will be defined by inequality: A few wealthy people will own all the capital, and the masses will struggle in a wasteland. A different prediction holds that without jobs to give their lives meaning, future people will simply become lazy and depressed.
But it doesn’t necessarily follow from findings like these that a world without work would be filled with dissatisfaction. Such visions are based on the downsides of being unemployed in a society built on the concept of employment. In the absence of work, a society designed with other ends in mind could provide strikingly different circumstances for the future of labor and leisure.
These days, spare time is relatively rare for most workers. “When I come home from a hard day's work, I often feel tired,” says John Danaher, a lecturer at the National University of Ireland, adding, “In a world in which I don’t have to work, I might feel rather different — perhaps different enough to throw himself into a hobby with the enthusiasm usually reserved for professional matters.”
Daniel Everett, an anthropologist (人类学家) at Bentley University studied a group of hunter-gathers in the Amazon called the Piraha for years. According to Everett, while some might consider hunting and gathering work, hunter-gatherers don’t. “They think of it as fun,” he says. “They don’t have a concept of work the way we do.”
Everett described a typical clay for the Piraha: A man might get up, spend a few hours fishing, have a barbecue, and play until the evening. Does this relaxing life lead to the depression and purposelessness seen among so many of today’s unemployed? “I’ve never seen anything like depression there, except people who are physically ill,” Everett says. While many may consider work necessary for human life, work as it exists today is a relatively new invention in the course of human culture. “We think it’s bad to just sit around with nothing to do,” says Everett. “For the Piraha, it’s quite a desirable state.”
【1】What might be some people’s attitude towards the work-free world?
A.Objective.
B.Negative.
C.Skeptical.
D.Cautious.
【2】What does the underlined word “downsides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?
A.Risks.
B.Losses.
C.Challenges.
D.Disadvantages.
【3】John Danaher might agree that _____.
A.work plays an important role in our future life
B.people don’t know how to balance work and life
C.people’s work-free future life will be full of charm
D.higher unemployment makes life tougher for workers
【4】Why is Daniel Everett’s study mentioned?
A.To justify John Danaher’s opinion.
B.To show a future life without work.
C.To compare different views on work.
D.To introduce the Piraha in the Amazon.
24、 Bob Kingsley, a celebrated voice in country radio that impacted airwaves for 60 years, died Thursday, October, 2019 at his home in Weatherford, Texas, after a battle with cancer. He was 80 years old.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was ten the summer my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from a second-hand store. I put up $60 of my grass cutting and snow shoveling (铲) money, and my dad put up the other half. I would pay him back in installments (分期付款) over the next six months. Although it was a bit out of style, it was my ticket to the adult world.
I spent that summer and autumn riding. I was able to ride to every corner of town. However, my sister Liz, a prisoner of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other.
While my mom and dad were fantastic parents, they always passed off gloves, sneakers, and shirts as “presents”. Then came that fateful Christmas morning, my father gave me a used portable record player. I was excited. However, my excitement was short-lived after my dad took my sister to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a brand new ten-speed bicycle. I didn’t hear her screams of joy-all I could hear was the noisy engine of the lawnmower, the endless scraping (刮擦声) of the metal snow shovel on concrete. I’d gone through far too many hours of hard work for my used bike while Liz got her shinny new machine less than a week later.
“Let’s go for a ride, Rob!” Liz sang, my dad holding the bike upright as she got on the shining leather seat.
“Too snowy to ride,” I refused, pushing the record player farther away from me.
