Joanna Cole, whose Magic School Bus series made science both dazzling and goofily fun for generations of children, died on July 12 at age 75. Her death was announced by her publisher, Scholastic. The cause of death was not given.

She originally created Magic School Bus in 1986 with ilustrator Bruce Degen. The core idea of a crew of schoolchildren taking field trips into scientific concepts, bodily parts, into space and back to the age of dinosaurs—and always led by their teacher, the intrepid Ms. Frizzle——eventually spun out into dozens of tie-ins and more than 93 million copies in print, plus a beloved television show that aired for 18 years in more than 100 countries.

In the U. S, the original Magic School Bus TV series was broadcast by PBS for 18 years; in 2017, an updated version was launched in 2017 on Netflix with the first of four specials on the way in August.

The book series won many awards, including an NEA Foundation Award for Outstanding Service to Public Education.

Cole was born in Newark, N. J. in 1944. She said that her inspiration for Ms. Frizzle was her own fifth-grade teacher. Cole worked answering letters to the editor at Newsweek, as a school librarian and as a magazine and children’s book editor before becoming a full-time author herself. Her first title, published in 1971, was Cockroaches.

She observed that there were no other children’s books on the market about roaches already, and decided to leap into the opportunity. As she once told her publisher, Scholastic, “An article in the Wall Street Journal inspired me to do some research... Plus, I had ample time to study that creature in my low budget New York apartment!”

4. What do we know about Joanna Cole?

A. She created The Magic School Bus with the help of Ms. Frizzle.

B. She obser ved that there were no children’s books on the market.

C. Joanna Cole worked answering letters as a full-time author.

D. She had plenty of time to study roaches in her apartment.

5. What can we infer from the second paragraph?

A. The Magic School Bus is well-received in many countries.

B. Joanna Cole created The Magic School Bus in 1986 on her own.

C. The schoolchildren only take field trips into scientific concepts.

D. The Magic School Bus has not been adapted for television.

6. What does the underlined wo rd “intrepid” in paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Proud.

B. Romantic.

C. Sociable.

D. Fearless.

7. Which is the best title of this passage?

A. Joanna Cole made science dazzling and fun for children.

B. The Magic School Bus TV series won a lot of awards.

C. ‘The Magic School Bus’ Series Author Joanna Cole has died.

D. Joanna Cole created The Magic School Bus inspired by Ms. Frizzle.

Exercise may help change exercisers’ brains in surprising ways, according to a new study. The s tudy found that exercise prompts the liver to produce a little-known protein, and thus assist out-of-shape, elderly animals activate their brains and memories. The findings raise questions about whether the brain benefits of exercise might someday be available in a pill.

For the study published this month in Science, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, decided to look inside the minds and bloodstreams of mice. They had both young and elderly mice run for six weeks, and then transfused blood from both groups into elderly, sedentary animals(定栖动物). Afterward, those aged mice performed better on cognitive tests than equally elderly ones, whether their transfusions had come from young runners or old. It was the donors’ activity that matter ed, not their age.

Scientists found one little-studied protein known as GPLD1 in the running animal’s blood, which was produced mostly in the liver, an organ not usually thought to have much interplay with the brain.

They also checked blood drawn from people. The older men and women who habitually walked for exercise showed higher levels of GPLD1 in their bloodstreams than those who did not.

The result of these findings seems to be that exercise improves brain health by prompting the liver to produce

extra amounts of GPLD1, Dr. Villeda says. He believes that if further experiments show that GPLD1, in isolation, helps to make this chain reaction, then infusions of it might offer the brain benefits of exercise to people who are too weak or disabled for regular physical activity. Dr. Villeda also argues that pharmaceutical GPLD1, even if effective for brain health, "would not replace the benefits of exercise." There would be none of the usual fat burning, or muscle building, he points out.

8. What does the first paragraph serve as?

A. An explanation of the study.

B. A reason for the study.

C. A background of the study.

D. An introduction to the study.

9. What can we learn from the study?

A. Age didn’t play a significant role in boosting brains, but working out di d.

B. Mice performed better in tests if their transfusions were from younger ones.

C. The benefits of exercise were put in a pill to activate elder animals’ brains.

D. Younger mice produced less GPLD1 than the elderly even they run longer.

10. Which of the following would Dr. Villeda agree to?

A. More amounts of GPLD1 will be produced by brain after exercise.

B. People who take GPLD1 pills would not have to do physical exercise.

C. GPLD1 will help weak or disabled people do regular physical activity.

D. The weak or disabled would gain brain benefits of exercise with GPLD1.

11. What’s the author’s attitude towards the new finding?

A. Positive.

B. Objective.

C. Negative.

D. Skeptical.

【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B

How will children make sense of the times we are living through? I went back to several of the pediatricians(儿科医生). I’ve consulted about different aspects of the coronavirus and asked: How are you telling your children the story of the pandemic?

Dr. Amy Shriver, a general pediatrician in Des Moines, Iowa, said in an email, “I’m encouraging my kids to journal every night about life during the pandemic. I’m telling them how incredible it is that everyone in the world is experiencing the same stress and worries at the same time. Even though we are physically distanced, we all feel closer to one another due to this shared experience.”

“We want to tell a story to our kids about what this time is going to mean but are we going to be able to?” said Dr.

Jenny Radesky, an assistant professor of pediatrics at Michigan Medicine C. S. Mott Children’s Hospital in Ann Arbor. “Sometimes when you’re in a state of high stress, it’s hard to take a step back and do that bigger-picture refle ction.”

Dr. Ken Haller, a professor of pediatrics at Saint Louis University, said in an email that he has been asking parents this question since 2014, when many of his patients were affected by the Ferguson uprising after Michael Brown was killed. “I was especially asking parents of babies and very young children what they would tell their children in 10 or 15 years about what life was like during the protests.

At that time, he said, most parents would say they hadn’t had time to think about it, but when h e asks the question now, parents are interested in keeping track—writing in a diary, saving social media posts, maybe even making videos talking to their children when they’re older.

12. How did the author get answers to the question?

A. By collecting responses.

B. By doing laboratory experiments.

C. By conducting questionnaires.

D. By making statistical analysis.

13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?

A. Dr. Shriver told her children not to worry about the pandemic.

B. Dr. Shriver’s children wrote down what happened in the pandemic.

C. Dr. Shriver encouraged her children to experience the pandemic.

D. Dr. Shriver and her children were physically distanced in the pandemic.

14. Why does the author mention Dr. Radeskys’ statement?

A. To reveal that the pandemic has a biger-picture reflection.

B. To indicate that parents should step back in the pandemic.

C. To imply that it is hard for parents to tell about the pandemic.

D. To show that parents are stressed out during the pandemic.

15. W hat can we infer from Dr. Ken Haller's email?

A. He asked his patients questions about the death of Michael Brown.

B. Since 2014, he has been telling children stories about the pandemic.

C. Most parents spent much time sharing their feeling during the protest.

D. Parents now are willing to share with kids about the pandemic.

【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D

An Unforgettable Experience

____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】An Unforgettable Experience

There are many won derful memories during my three years’ school life. And I would like to say something about an unforgettable experience.

When I was in Senior II, I got a chance to study in the UK for three months as an exchange student. What impressed me most was the various activities in and after class. We had group discussions and played games with classmates to enjoy the cultural diversity. I developed a deep friendship with many UK students from varied backgrounds, which helped me understand the country better.

Throug h the three months’ study, not only did I get to know the cultural differences, but I also learned how to cooperate with others.
