Last week my youngest son and I visited my father at his new home in Tucson, Arizona. He moved there a few years ago, and I was eager to see his new place and meet his friends. My earliest memories of my father are of a tall, handsome, successful man devoted to his work and family, but uncomfortable with his children. As a child I loved him, as a school girl and young adult I feared him and felt bitter about him. He seemed unhappy with me unless I got straight A’s and unhappy with my boyfriends if their fathers were not as “successful” as he was. Whenever I went out with him on weekends, I used to struggle to think up things to say, feeling on guard.

On the first day of my visit, we went out with one of my father’s friends for lunch at an outdoor café.

We walked along that afternoon, did some shopping, ate on the street table, and laughed over my son’s funny facial expressions. Gone was my father’s critical (挑剔的) air and strict rules. Who was this person I knew as my father, who seemed so friendly and interesting to be around? What had held him back before?

The next day，my dad pulled out his childhood pictures and told me quite a few stories about

his own childhood. Although our times together became easier over the years, I never felt closer to him at that moment. After so many years, I’m at last seeing another side of my father. And in so doing, I’m delighted with my new friend. My dad, in his new home in Arizona, is back to me from where he was.

WHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray- haired white-coated dull scholars.

But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.

This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.

She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both are cutting-edge( 前沿)technologies at an early stage of development," she said. "So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."

She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.

In her third year at the university, she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.

Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.

Unlike-many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.

"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.

8.What does the underlined word "releasing" in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. Giving out.

B. Getting over.

C. Finding out.

D. Taking over.

9.What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China?

A. Anxious.

B. Confident.

C. Disappointed.

D. Satisfied.

10.What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist?

A. Her teacher led her into the field.

B. She finds it's easier than she thought.

C. Her contribution has been recognized.

D. She thinks it's boring but worth trying.

11.Which can be the best title of the text?

A. China's Breakthrough in Science

B. Rising Young Scientists in China

C. Wan Ruixue: A Successful Young Scientist

D. New Image of Chinese Scientists

A new study has found the amount of antibiotics（抗生素）given to farm animals is expected to increase by two-thirds over the next 15 years. Researchers are linking the growing dependence on the drugs to the increasing need for meat, milk and eggs. However, the drugs could quicken the development of antibiotic-resistant infections（感染）. Such infections are already a major public, health concern in the United States.

The World Health Organization notes when people stop living in poverty, the first thing they

want to do is eat better, rather than earn more money. For most people, that means their diet should contain more meat. With the rapid development of Asia, people there are eating nearly four times as much meat, milk and other milk products as they did 50 year ago.

To meet the need, farmers have put many animals into smaller spaces. As the animals are crowded together, the easiest way to deal with some of the problems of crowding is to give them antibiotics. It's clear that antibiotics help animals stay healthy in a crowded environment and grow faster. But bacteria can develop resistance to the drugs gradually.

Nowadays, doctors find antibiotics that once worked against the infections no longer work. The bacteria have learned ways to fight against the drugs. The heavy use of antibiotics in animals is responsible for the growth of antibiotic resistance worldwide. In the United States, at least two million people get drug-resistant infections each year and at least 23,000 die from an infection.

Europe has banned the use of antibiotics to increase animal growth. And the United States is hoping to persuade farmers to stop using antibiotics for that purpose.

12.What accounts for the increasing amount of antibiotics given to farm animals?

A. The desire for new drugs.

B. The less effective antibiotics.

C. The outdated farm technology.

D. The need for more various foods.

13.What do most people want to do first when they get rid of poverty according to the WHO?

A. Making a lot of money.

B. Focusing more on health.

C. Having more meat in their diet.

D. Living in a better environment.

14.What can be inferred from the passage?

A.Antibiotics do harm to animals.

B.Antibiotics help animals stay healthy.

C.Antibiotics are used heavily in Europe.

D.Antibiotic-resistant bacteria spread to people.

15.What's the passage mainly about?

A.A new way of raising farm animals.

B.The advantages of using antibiotics.

C.The reason for banning the use of antibiotics.

D.The negative effect of antibiotics in farm animals.

How important is it to offer our love, especially to those who are closest to us, with no strings attached? The 21 of the expression “no strings attached”may go back to ancient times when 22 were written on parchment(羊皮纸)that was rolled up and 23 with a string.

An unknown author beautifully 24 the no-strings-attached love in her heartfelt story titled The Rock.

As she grew older, her teenage daughter became increasingly rebellious(叛逆的). It was late one night when the police 25 her daughter for drunk driving. She had to go to the police station to 26 her daughter up.

They didn’t 27 until the next afternoon. She broke the 28 by giving her daughter a small gift—a wrapped box. Her daughter 29 opened it and found a little 30 inside. Her daughter rolled her 31 and said, “Cute, Mom, what’s this for?”“Read the card,”Mom 32 .

Her daughter took the card out of the envelope in the box and 33 it. Tears started to trickle down her daughter’s cheeks. Her daughter got up and hugged her as the 34 fell to the floor.

35 the card were these words: “This rock is more than 200,000 years old. That is how long it will take before I 36 you.”

This mother is not saying, “I will love you 37 ...”Instead she says that she will love her daughter forever and nothing can change that. No 38 attached.
