22、A thin teenager leans over a laptop, programming instructions that will control a 3-D carving machine. Not far away, a serious-looking girl looks through the shield of a laser cutter, seeing the beam shoot into a board.
Welcome to Innovation and Creation Lab in Illinois, US. Here, with the help of digital equipment such as 3-D printers and carvers, Jeff Solin is teaching his students that learning isn't just about getting every question right. It’s about designing and creating without fear of failure.
“Failure is a big part of this class,” Solin said. “I let them understand that they can try and fail, learn, then try again.” The lab includes four laser cutters, six 3-D carvers, five 3-D scanners, and nine 3-D printers. Solin teaches through projects and aims for students to make their way through the lab’s equipment. They started with the laser cutter and a simple task: cut out two cubes and put a calendar for each month onto all 12 sides of the cubes to create a desktop calendar.
Solin noticed one student wasn’t following instructions. He put his favorite cartoons into the software to etch the images onto the squares, which Solin liked. She said, “Change of plans! I don’t care what you do. It just has to be a cube”. Wessley Gutierrez, one of Solin’s students, said that’s what he liked most about the class and he could think up whatever he wanted.

23、DNA from Beethoven’s hair is helping to uncover what may have caused his death, scientific researchers say.
The composer was troubled by health issues for most of his life. On March 26, 1827, he left the world with a puzzle as to what many historians doubted was his liver (肝脏) failure while in his apartment in Vienna. Now, an analysis of hairs passed down through his families and gathered by collectors shows that Beethoven carried several genetic factors for his liver disease, the scientists report on March 22, 2023 in Current Biology.
This increased the risk-paired with liver illness and the composer’s frequent alcohol drinking habits — may have burdened Beethoven’s younger death at the age of 56, says Tristan Begg, a biologist at the University of Cambridge in the UK.
It’s well-known that Beethoven’s storied legends career was cut short by his gradual hearing loss that left the composer completely deaf by age 45. Beethoven also suffered from stomach and a worsening liver. That faulty liver is thought to be responsible for the composer’s skin reportedly turning yellow in the summer of 1821.
The root cause of Beethoven’s terrible health issues has been a source of fascination to many. But working out what troubled a man that lived nearly two centuries ago is no easy task. Researchers have had to rely on notes from the composer.
Everything about Beethoven, his sensitivity, his understanding of the world, his unique wisdom and will, the unique construction method of the heavens for him, his ideals, his songs, as well as the unique substances in his body, his temperament, and so on, are all representatives of that particular times in Europe. A great man is the one overcome all the obstacles on the way in life.
【1】Where can you read the passage?
A．In an autobiography.
B．In a science report.
C．On a newspaper.
D．In a travel guide.
【2】When was Beethoven born according to the information provided?
A．1827.
B．1821.
C．1782.
D．1770.
【3】What has been a source of fascination for many people referred in the passage?
A．The reason for Beethoven’s health issues.
B．Beethoven’s talents in world famous music.
C．Things that caused Beethoven’s sensitivity.
D．His unique construction method of the heavens.
【4】What have caused Beethoven’s death?
A．His progressive deaf ears.
B．His deteriorating yellow skin.
C．His habit of drinking alcohol.
D．His bad illness on his liver.
24、 The phone rang. I waited for the answering machine to get it, but for some reason, it was not picking up. I sighed, annoyed because I knew the call was either going to be for my wife, Susan (she was the only one who received calls on the home line, and she left to take Alyce to school ten minutes ago), or it was the latest of 300 attempts to sell me something I had absolutely no interest in.
'Hello, ' I said, an edge in my voice. 12-year-old daughter, 'Mommy was just in a car accident. ' My heart stopped and then began pounding. 'Are you all right? ' 'Yes. ' 'Is Mommy? ' A deep sob. 'I don't know…I don't think so. Come quick. ' I rushed a few blocks to what looked like a shoot for a disaster movie. Fire engines, police cars, and ambulances were randomly parked in the street; helicopters circled. A city bus was on the wrong side of the road. In front of it were the smashed remains of Susan's car. Susan was pinned under the dashboard (仪表盘). There was no front windshield (挡风玻璃).
Alyce was standing on the corner crying, covered in tiny pieces of glass but uninjured. Inconceivable! Susan wasn’t so lucky. But she was alive. It turned out that she had broken nearly every bone in her body, and she would spend almost three months in the hospital.
More than two years later, Susan and I were at a musical event. Our director, Danny, rushed up to us. He said excitedly, 'There's a woman here tonight from one of the church choirs who you have to meet! ' He returned with an African American woman with a bright, glowing smile. She told us she lived in the apartment building by where the accident had happened. That morning, she had rushed to the street, still in her bathrobe, and seen Alyce standing by the side of the wrecked car, crying. She approached her, asking, 'Is that your mom in there? ' Alyce nodded, and the woman said, 'Let's pray together. '
Sweet, innocent Alyce looked at this woman wearing a cross around her neck and told her that she needed to call me, but her backpack with her phone was trapped inside the crushed vehicle. So the woman lent Alyce her phone. After the accident, she said, she had continued to pray for our family. We had our picture taken together, and as we were saying goodbye, she hugged us all warmly. We realized we had never been formally introduced, so she said to me, 'I'm sorry, I never got your name. ' I told her it was Doug, and she paused, as if maybe she hadn't heard me. I repeated, 'Doug, like Douglas. ' She looked at us and said, 'Wait, your name is Susan? ' Susan nodded. 'And your name is Douglas? ' The woman put her hand over her heart. 'Oh my goodness, ' she said. 'My name is Susan Douglas. '
