Some young people win attention because of their good looks or their singing ability. A much smaller number
gain fame because they have done something important and worthwhile with their abilities. Rishab Jain is among
the latter. In 2018, 13-year-oldRishab developed a way to use AI technology to help pancreatic(胰腺的) cancer
patients and won the3MYoung Scientist Challenge, a nationwide middle-school science competition, and its
$25,000 prize.
In the last stage of the contest, Rishab competed againstnine other finalists at the 3M Innovation Center(创新中心) in St.Paul,Minnesota. Leading up to the big meet, each finalist had partnered with a scientist to further
develop their inventions.
Rishab explains what led him to create his invention. First,a family friend died of cancer. Then Rishab learned
about how deadly pancreatic cancer is, and that its low survival rate is due to how difficult it is to treat. "I'm also
into programming, so I was learning about AI technology. I decided to try to solve a real-world problem using it."
His winnings have been put in further research and in his nonprofit Samyak Science Society, which helps poor
children enter the STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) education. Rishab is also raising awareness
about pancreatic cancer. These efforts make him quite different from teenagers of his age. Considering becoming
a biomedical engineer or a doctor一or both, he has also put some money aside to further his own learning.
Almost certainly the doors of higher education will open wide to him before he even knocks.
That's an outstanding outlook for one so young. Rashib is committed to helping very sick people in need. He
is also providing teenagers of his age with a much-needed model of what kinds of things youth can achieve.
1. What can we learn about the 3M Young Scientist Challenge in 2018?
A. It was intended to solve medical problems.
B. It was a nationwide AI competition for teenagers.
C. It offered the finalists an opportunity to work with scientists.

2. How did Rishab win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge?
A.He showed excellent programming ability. B. He figured out the survival rate of pancreatic cancer.

Life in the Internet age is lonely—or is it? That’s what experts in human interaction are debating after a new
Stanford University survey has been published.
According to the study, the more time people spend online, the less they can spare for real-life relationships
with family and friends. The researchers asked 113 people about the Web’s influence on daily activities. 36％of
those people are online for more than five hours a week.” As Internet use becomes more widespread, it will have
an increasingly isolating (孤立的) effect on society,” says Robert Kraut, one of the researchers.
Scholars and Web lovers criticized the study for stretching its data to make the “isolating” point. While 13％of regular Web users admitted the loss of time with loved ones, 60％reported watching less TV. The survey also
shows that E-mail is the most popular online activity. If some of webheads (网虫)spend what was once passive TV
time keeping company with friends via E-mails, “that’s a move toward greater connectedness,” says Paul Resnick,
a professor at the University of Michigan.
Thisisn’t the first claim that the Web should be criticized. A 1998 report monitored 73 Pittsburgh-area
families’ Net use for a year. People who used the Internet more “talked less to family members and reported being
lonelier and more depressed.” says Robert Kraut.
“It’s true that there have been big declines in social connectedness over the past decades, but those declines
began before the Internet was invented,” says Thomas Putnam.
As Amitay Etzioni says, the Internet gives us a different kind of social life—not better or worse than before,
but just different.
4. Who claimed that the Web had negative influence?
A. Paul Resnick. B. Robert Kraut.
C. Thomas Putnam. D. Amitay Etzioni.
5. The underlined word “This” in Para.4 refers to .
A. the opinion expressed in Bowling Alone

Mirroring body language is a way to bond and to build understanding, It is a powerful tool that we use
without even knowing it.
The most obvious forms of mirroring are yawning and smiling. When you seesomeone yawn, you are likely to
yawn immediately. Smiling is also prettycontagious—seeing a smiling person makes you want to smile too.
Mirroring body language is a nonverbal way to say “I am like you, I feel the same”. Research shows that
people who experience the same feelings are likely to trust, understand and accept each other.
Women have the natural ability to pick up and understand body signals. Therefore, it is not surprising that a
woman is more likely to mirror another woman than a man is to mirror another man. That's why women are

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the U. S. Department of Homeland Security recommends having at least a
two - week supply of water and food.
Potatoes
Shelf life：2 to 5 weeks if stored in a cool, dry, dark place
Yukon Gold, red, and fingerling potatoes will last from two to three weeks. Larger white potatoes can last for
three to five weeks. Sweet potatoes have about the same shelf life. Don't store them next to onions, however. The
two might go together well in cooking, but raw, each gives off gases and moisture that might cause the other to
spoil faster.
Tea
※Shelf life：6 to 12 months past "sell - by" date
Dried tea leaves, whether loose (in a sealed container) or in teabags (in an unopened box) can easily last a

Songkran, Thailand
This festival marks the Thai New Year, which is celebrated in the second week of April. This is the hottest time
of the year in Thailand, so it makes sense that the biggest Songkran tradition is to throw water on people. Thais of
all ages join in water fights, using buckets, hoses (软管)and water guns to celebrate the event.
Boryeong Mud Festival, South Korea
Don't expect to come home clean after experiencing the Boryeong Mud Festival in South Korea. Famous for
its mineral-rich mudflats, visitors rush to Boryeong in July to make themselves in mud, swim in grey pools and
enjoy the party. There are even mudslides and a mud skiing competition for those who are seeking the extreme
mud adventure!

My mother and her best friend Martha were in their mid-80s when they saw each other for the last time.
They had been friends since they were 18, both of them students atWesleyanCollegeinMacon,Georgia. My mother
was the dreamy one, who loved to read and dream herself as an actress. Martha, however, was more practical. I’m
not sure what they had in common except that they trusted each other, helped each other, and stayed in touch
even when life separated them.
Martha spent most of her adulthood inAtlanta, where she raised three kids. My mother, meanwhile, raised eight
children, and moved many times during her financially and emotionally troubled marriage, which included several
months living with her family inseedymotels.
