26、Several Things That You Can’t Miss in Macao
Macau, along with Hong Kong, is one of the two special administrative regions of China in Eastern Asia. It lies on the western side of the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong and facing the South China Sea. If you have ever thought of travelling around, Macao is definitely on your list.
·Visit the Macao Tower
The Macao Tower, 338 meters tall, is the world’s 10th highest tower, with a variety of activities, such as gambling, eating and entertainment. One of the acclaimed activities is the bungee jump. If you are not daring enough to jump that height, you can try the skywalk on the 57th floor — it’s still remarkable. Grab this chance and tick off this item on your bucket list.
·Grab a traditional Portuguese dinner
Macao was colonized by Portugal before 1999. As a result, Portuguese culture is deeply immersed into many corners of Macao. Many Portuguese settled and opened Portuguese restaurants in the special administrative region.
·Selfie at the Ruins of St. Paul
The Ruins of St. Paul is the signature landmark of Macao. The ruins consist of the St. Paul’s College and the Church of St. Paul, built in 1583. However, after three intense fires in 1595, 1601 and 1835, the church was seriously damaged. Miraculously, after the vigorous cycles of rebuilding and fires, the huge facade(建筑物正面) and the front stairway remain unburned.
·Watch the Macao Grand Prix
The Macao Grand Prix is a major worldwide car-racing event held annually, featuring over 300 top drivers every year. This challenging circuit consists of fast straights, tight corners and uncompromising crash barriers, attracting numerous top Formula One drivers who aim to win. The Grand Prix runs annually in November every year for about four days.

27、Blood donations save lives. But blood can only be stored by freezing for up to six weeks. “Because of that limitation, people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs. But also, in places where freezing may not be available, that can also be a challenge. It’s difficult to have blood available when needed.”
“The disruptions to regular blood donations due to COVID-19 have put stress on the blood supply, and the pandemic emphasizes the need for more reliable long-term storage methods.” University of Louisville bioengineer Jonathan Kopechek said.
Kopechek’s team has developed a method of preserving blood so it can be stored in a dehydrated state at room temperature. They turned to an unusual preservative: a sugar called trehalose(海藻糖), which is a common ingredient in donuts... to help make them look fresh even when they might be months old, and you wouldn’t know the difference.
The researchers chose trehalose because, in nature, it’s made by hardy animals like tardigrades and sea monkeys—aka brine shrimp—famous for their ability to survive dehydration.
So these animals can dry out completely for a long period of time and then be rehydrated and resume normal function. First, the researchers had to get trehalose into blood cells. They used ultrasound(超声波)to drill temporary holes in the cell membranes—which let some trehalose get in. And they need to have sufficient levels of trehalose on both the inside and the outside of the cell in order to survive the dehydration and rehydration process. At that point, the blood could be dried and made into a powder. And then we can rehydrate the blood and have it return back to normal.
“The technique could be ready for clinical test in three to five years. If successful, it could be used to create stores of dried blood in case of future pandemics or natural disasters. Maybe medicine bag on the Red Planet will include dried red blood cells.” Kopechek said.
【1】Why do people have to continually donate blood to meet the needs?
A.Because blood donations aren’t popular.
B.Because the blood needs can’t be met.
C.Because blood storage by freezing has time limit.
D.Because blood freezing is a challenge in many places.
【2】What does the underlined word “disruptions” in paragraph 2 mean?
A.pause
B.damage
C.end
D.distribution
【3】According to the research of Kopechek’s team, what can we learn about?
A.Blood can be preserved in a dehydrated state by freezing.
B.Trehalose is only made by hardy animals like tardigrades.
C.Trehalose can help make donuts look fresh for a long time.
D.The technique of blood dehydration has been applied in clinical test.
【4】How did trehalose get into blood cell?
A.By the process of dehydration and rehydration.
B.By being dried and made into a power.
C.By rehydrating the blood returning back to normal.
D.By the temporary holes drilled by ultrasound.
28、I was working as a consultant (顾问) in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents with something important. It was a big challenge. At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My promise was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation. But I felt someone at the company wanted to know what was going on. So I told the vice- president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
A few days later, the president called me into his office. I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, “I heard your mother is very ill.”
I was totally taken by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside (平息), and then he gently said a sentence I will never forget, “Whatever you need. That was it. His understanding and willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of compassion (同情) that I carry with me to this day.
