27、 At 12 years old, Braeden Mannering is already well on his way to running an empire! A 2016 win of Delaware's Healthy Lunchtime Challenge brought Braeden to the White House, where the president asked the children at the event to think about how they could pay the experience forward.
A few days later, on the drive back home, Braeden saw a homeless man in the rain. He had his parents stop so that he cold give the man a bag of snacks. Braeden knew at that moment that this was how he wanted to pay it forward. He knew what he wanted to do in the future. He felt that it was his duty to help people in trouble.
Since that day in July,2016,Braeden has handed out over 8,000 bags to the homeless through his organization Brae's Brown Bags, also known as 3B.These bags vary (各不相同) in contents, and include food, toiletries (化妆品) and even books for the kids 'bags.

On his travel, he's raised$60,000 to expand his program. He also is a leader at the annual Delaware Hunger Conference, where he encourages kids to write to lawmakers and help pack bags, showing them how to make a difference.

28、What makes us human?Is it our thoughts?Our emotions?Our behavior?
All of these things make us who we are,but at the center of it all lies the genome — the genes inside our bodies that determine everything from our hair color to our intelligence. But if we could change our genome,would we still be human?
Recently,a group of scientists from the US and South Korea worked together to successfully“edit”a human embryo(胚胎)and remove a genetic mutation(变异)that would have led to heart disease. This was achieved with the help of CRISPR-a gene — editing tool that allows scientists to edit the genome by cutting,changing or adding to parts of it.
Scientists involved in DNA editing are certain about the good of their work,and hope that in the future,diseases could simply be“edited out”.
However,others aren't so sure. People are worried that the science could be used not only to remove life-threatening illness,but also to make a“perfect”baby whose DNA has been chosen to improve its intelligence or other qualities. They say that this is a shallow way of thinking about raising children.
“It makes you think about who we are as people,and it makes you ask if humans should use the kind of power…that is changing human evolution(进化),”Jennifer Doudna of the University of California said.
Still,others worry that DNA editing could be turned into an expensive service that would only be available to the people who could afford it. That might mean the rich would be given another advantage in a world where they already have plenty of them.
“You could find wealthy parents buying the technology for their children, leading to even greater inequality than we already live with,”Marcy Darnovsky, director of the San Francisco Center for Genetics and Society, said.
【1】Why are the questions asked in Paragraph 1?
A.To attract the readers' interest.
B.To seek answers from the readers.
C.To show those things aren't important.
D.To correct our understanding of human beings.
【2】Which of the following will Jennifer Doudna most probably agree with?
A.Having a perfect baby is not so good for the family.
B.Life-threatening illnesses should be removed before birth.
C.DNA editing might cause unexpected problems to humans.
D.DNA editing may enlarge the gap between the rich and the poor,
【3】What does the underlined word“them”most probably refer to?
A.Advantages.
B.Expensive services.
C.Perfect children.
D.Qualities
【4】What's the author's attitude towards DNA editing?
A.Disappointed.
B.Doubtful.
C.Positive.
D.Objective.
29、 An online tool has been released(推出)which is able to bring black and white photographs to life by adding colour to them using artificial intelligence(AI).
Colourisation(上色)of old photos is normally a process taking a lot of time,which requires special training and expensive software.The tool,ColouriseSG,is able to do it for free. It is trained on old pictures and uses machine learning to guess what it thinks the pictures would have looked like in colour.
"The purpose of colourisation is to produce a picture with colours that seem to be right," the tool's developers say."It by no means makes sure that the colourised picture is an accurate(精确的)representation of the original photo in time."
The free-to-use tool was developed to provide an accurate way for people from Singapore to edit their black and white pictures.The idea of ColouriseSG was to provide a large enough data-set to be linked to people living in Singapore.
Tech firm NVIDIA has released several different picture editing tools that are powered by AI.Its latest release is software which uses deep learning to turn even the roughest drawings into works of art.
The new program,GauGAN,named after famous French impressionist Paul Gaugin,uses a tool called GAN to recognize simple lines and turn them into realistic pictures.
Its application could help jobs,for example,urban planning,edit pictures faster and with greater accuracy,according to the company.
“It's much easier to come up with designs with simple drawings,and this technology is able to turn these drawings into highly realistic pictures,"said Bryan Catanzaro,vice president of applied deep learning research at NVIDIA.
【1】How does ColouriseSG colourise photos?
A.By learning from people in Singapore.
B.By presenting old photos correctly.
C.By editing original colors on the photos.
D.By making a guess based on a data-set.
【2】According to the passage,GauGAN can
A.colourise black and white photos accurately
B.employ deep learning to create works of art
C.make Tech firm NVIDIA known to people
D.turn rough drawings into realistic pictures
【3】The passage is mainly about
A.the colourisation of old pictures
B.the technology of machine learning
C.picture editing tools powered by AI
D.simple lines changed into photos
【4】The passage is most probably a
A.science report B.technology review
C.research plan D.laboratory record
