26、Researchers at the University of Scotland have discovered a protein that can influence viruses developing and even can control cancer. Now the fight is on to fully understand how it works in the hope of turning the laboratory research into a treatment.
The protein is called Hira. Technically it is a histone(组蛋白)complex, but it is easier to understand in terms of what it can do. Three years ago Dr Taranjit Singh Rai and colleagues at the Beatson Cancer Institute and Glasgow University reported that Hira could possibly suppress the division of cells that causes cancer. In the course of that research, Dr Rai found out something unusual. In the lab they have established that the Hira protein has a role to play in the anti-viral fight, thus, making it have a fundamental role to play in fighting against cancer.
The trick in using it to fight diseases may lie in increasing Hira levels in our cells. “I think what researchers might be interested in is how we can increase levels of this protein to deal with the viruses better, Dr Rai said.
Dr Rai has led an international study and support has come from Cancer Research UK and the results are published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research. But there is a major concern that the research is still limited to the laboratory.
It is going to take some time, probably years, before this work can move out of the lab and into clinics and hospitals. But the researchers are excited Hira will one day be the basis of a new approach in medicine.
【1】What does the underlined word “suppress" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Motivate.
B.Monitor.
C.Control.
D.Improve.
【2】What can be known from the text?
A.Hira has been used in the medical treatment.
B.More studies should be done on Hira.
C.The levels of Hira in cells are unchangeable.
D.Hira can bring about side effects.
【3】What is the researchers' attitude to the future of Hira?
A.Cautious.
B.Optimistic.
C.Disapproving.
D.Doubtful.
【4】What's the text mainly about?
A.A new way to use the protein.
B.A new approach to improving the division of cells.
C.A new medicine that can fight diseases.
D.A protein that can stop viruses developing.

29、 One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held a sign which said, “I am blind, Please help me.”
There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the news words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving the money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked.” Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write?
