21、It is difficult for doctors to help a person with a damaged brain. Without enough blood, the brain lives for only three to five minutes. More often the doctors can’t fix the damage. Sometimes they are afraid to try something to help because it is dangerous to work on the brain. The doctors might make the person worse if he operates on the brain.
Dr Robert White, a famous professor and doctor, thinks he knows a way to help. He thinks doctors should make the brain very cold. If it is very cold, the brain can live without blood for 30 minutes. This gives the doctors a longer time to do something for the brain.
Dr White tried his idea on 13 monkeys. First he taught them to do different jobs, then he operated on them. He made the monkeys’ blood go through a machine. The machine cooled the blood. Then the machine sent the blood back to the monkeys’ brains. When the brain’s temperature was 10℃, Dr White stopped the blood to the brain. After 30 minutes he turned the blood back on. He warmed the blood again. After their operations the monkeys were like they had been before. They were healthy and busy. Each one could still do the jobs the doctor had taught them.
【1】The biggest difficulty in operating on the damaged brain is that ________.
A.the time is too short for doctors

Japan has always been at the forefront of robotic technology. Over the years, the robots have worked in banks and hotels, or even served as personal helpers for the old people. Now, a Tokyo university has used avatar(替身) robots to make students "attend" their graduation ceremony without leaving home.
Professor Shugo Yanaka came up with the great idea during the COVID-19 outbreak. He said, "We knew that there were lots of students who would like to attend the graduation ceremony but couldn't do so because of the COVID-19, I suddenly got an idea that students can not only attend the graduation ceremony safely, but also experience something different."
The event, which was held at Tokyo's Hotel Grand Palace on March 28, 2020, started with university president Kenichi Omae giving a speech to the students through a video platform(平台) Zoom. Then began the online graduation ceremony.
Each time a student's name was called out by a host, an avatar robot called "Newme" dressed in graduation caps and clothing, moved to the stage to accept the diploma (毕业证书) from the president. The student could experience the event, and hear the clap and "congratulations" from their teachers through the screen on the Newme's head. Once Mr. Omae gave the diploma to the Newme, the student posed with him for an official graduation photo at home.
Once the COVID-19 is over, Newme creator ANA Holdings has plans to make the machine travel to different place around the world. The company believes it will help doctors treat patients in hard-to-reach places and also make expert get into war areas without putting themselves in danger.

24、When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox (沙坑) in our front yard to become our garden.
We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence (栅栏) and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker colour because it would fit our light grey house.
Next, Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil (土壤). It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.
Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbour gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!
I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.
【1】When the writer first arrived at her new house, she ________.

A.Because she listened to her sister.
B.Because the weather was too hot.
C.Because the garden looked like a mess.
D.Because the kids could dig better ones.
【3】Which one is the right order of building the garden according to the passage?
a. We built the fence and painted it.
b. We collected much others’ advice.
c. We prepared the plants that we wanted.
d. We decided on the place of the garden.
