21、 A man who broke his neck outdoors in freezing conditions survived lying in snow for nearly 20 hours thanks to his dog, who kept him warm through the night and barked for help.
The Michigan man, named only as Bob, was alone when he left his farmhouse on New Year’s Eve to collect firewood. Anticipating a journey of only several meters, Bob was wearing just long johns, a shirt and slippers when he went outside, despite the temperature being around -4 degrees centigrade. However, he slipped and broke his neck.
“I was yelling for help but my nearest neighbour is about a quarter of a mile away and it was 10:30 pm, but my Kelsey came,” said Bob.
Kelsey is Bob’s five-year-old Golden Retriever. She kept Bob warm by lying on top of him, and kept him awake by licking his hands and face.
Bob said, “She kept barking for help but never left my side. She kept me warm and awake. I knew I had to persevere (get) through this and that it was my choice to stay alive.”
“By morning my voice was gone and I couldn’t yell for help, but Kelsey didn’t stop barking.”
“She was letting out this screaming howl that got my neighbour’s attention. He found me at 6:30 pm on New Year’s Day.”
Bob’s neighbour eventually discovered him after hearing Kelsey’s howls and called the emergency services. When Bob arrived at the hospital, his body temperature was below 21 degrees centigrade. Normal body temperature is 37 degrees centigrade and hypothermia (低体温症) occurs when the body drops below 35 degrees centigrade.
“I was surprised to find out that I didn’t have any frost bite,” said Bob, “I am sure it was because of Kelsey’s determination to keep me warm and safe.”
And to the surprise of doctors, Bob made a quick initial recovery from his neck injury.
“I think his dog really kept him alive and helped him, and he was very fortunate,” said Chaim Colen, MD, Neurosurgeon at McLaren.
“I am so thankful for my two heroes,” Bob said. “Kelsey kept me warm, alert, and never stopped barking for help. Dr Colen saved my life. They are truly heroes and I will be forever grateful.”

22、 US inventor Thomas Alva Edison once said: “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent perspiration.” He was not exaggerating. Perspiration, indeed, plays a very important role in Chinese scientist Tu Youyou’s success.
Tu was given the Nobel Prize in Physio logy or Medicine in 2015 for discovering a new drug for malaria, a deadly disease caused by the bite of some types of mosquito. She is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science. “It is the pride of the w hole Chinese science community, which will inspire more Chinese scientists,” China Daily noted.
Malaria is a disease that infects around 200 million people and k ills about half a million people each year, according to the Economist. Tu’s discovery has saved millions of lives, especially in the developing world. According to the World Health Organization, by 2013 malaria deaths had fallen by 47 percent compared with 2000.
But the road to this achievement was a tough one to travel. In the late 1960s, during the “cultural revolution ” (1966-1976), Tu joined a government project on which she began research on a new malaria drug.
In the beginning, Tu read a lot of old folk remedies(药方), searched texts that w ere hundreds or thousands of years old and traveled to remote places.
Over several months, Tu and her team collected over 600 plants and created a list of almost 380 possible remedies.
“This w as the most challenging stage of the project,” Tu told The Beijing News. “It was a very labor-demanding and dull job, in particular when you faced one failure after another.”
But the hard work and the dullness failed to break the team’s spirit. In the following months, she and her team tested the remedies on malaria- infected mice and they found that an extract(提 取物)from the plant qinghao seemed to work w ell.
Not that the work was easier after that. The fact that the extract didn’t always work against malaria discouraged some of her teammates. But Tu was ambitious to make a contribution to the world and so she encouraged her teammates to keep going. They decided to start again from the beginning.
In 1971, they were rewarded for their efforts. After nearly 200 failures, Tu finally made an extract that w as 100 percent effective against malaria parasites. The extract was called “Artemisin in”(青蒿素).
Thanks to decades of hard work, Tu and her team had “provided humankind with powerful new means to combat these diseases that affect hundreds of millions of people every year,” said the Nobel Prize Committee. “It has greatly improved human health and reduced suffering.”
【1】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Tu Youyou is the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize.
B.Compared with 2000, malaria deaths had fallen to 53% in 2013.
C.The work became easier after Tu found an extract from qinghao.
D.Artemisin in is the most effective extract to kill malaria parasites.
【2】What does the underlined word “combat” mean in the last paragraph?
A.Treat. B.Fight. C.Spot. D.Anticipate.
【3】How many stages did Tu and her team go through to get Artemisin in ?
A.Seven. B.Six C.Five. D.Four.
【4】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Discovering Qinghao B.Sending out a Lifeline

24、Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment.
My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a computer, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table.
I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships . We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you”. When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be there. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.
I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality(可能发生的事). And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being.
【1】Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule?
A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated.
B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working .
C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better.
D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone.
【2】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to ________.
A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor
B. meet her father who was already an old man
C. join in the holiday celebration of the company
D. finish her work before the deadline approaching
【3】The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closed in meaning to “________”.
A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoided D. wasted
【4】What is the best title for the passage ?
A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words
C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind
