26、It may seem like a moment in a science fiction movie. In a fierce battle, a creature loses an arm but, then, grows another one to take its place.
However, this is not science fiction. It is scientific fact. Some fish and amphibians, such as salamanders, can regrow lost limbs and organs.
As mammals evolved they lost the ability to regrow, or regenerate, parts of their body. However, experiments show that it may be possible to regain that ability.
Tropical freshwater zebrafish are popular pets. They are also popular as lab animals. Their embryos(胚胎) are clear, or translucent. They can regrow damaged fins, skin and hearts. Zebrafish are also genetically(基因地) similar to humans.
In 2013, the website Sci-News reported that researchers had found that 70 per cent of “protein-coding human genes” are related to genes found in the zebrafish. The report also said that researchers at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Britain also found that 84 per cent of genes known to be connected to human disease have a zebrafish counterpart.
Scientist Wang Yadong is one of the Pittsburg researchers. He and his team are studying the ability of zebrafish to regenerate limbs and organs. Wang says you can cut away about 20 per cent of the zebrafish heart and it will regenerate. He add that same process may be able to help humans.
Scientists injected(注射) an “extracellular matrix,” or ECM, from the heart of a zebrafish into a severely damaged mouse heart. They found that the heart muscle regrew in days. They found something else. The healing was even faster when the ECM was taken from zebrafish that was itself in the process of re-growing damaged tissue.
【1】The main reason why the zebrafish were chosen as lab animals is that _____________ .
A. they are popular pets
B. their bodies are clear to study
C. they are genetically similar to humans
D. they are easy to find for the researchers
【2】What does the underlined word “counterpart” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. A similar thing.
B. A different fish.
C. A human being.
D. A little mouse.
【3】After injecting ECM from a zebrafish into the damaged mouse heart, what did scientists find?
A. The zebrafish died quickly.
B. The mouse heart regrew in days.
C. The zebrafish heart regrew quickly.
D. The mouse healed more slowly than normal.
【4】Where is the most probably taken from?
A. A science fiction.
B. A guide book.
C. A fashion magazine.
D. A science report.
27、On the fourth Thursday of November every year, families in the US get together to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. It falls on Nov. 26 this year.
Thanksgiving Day is a time for communal (群体的) thanksgiving and lavish feasts (丰盛的宴会). Like China’s Spring Festival, preparing a big meal and bringing the family together at home is a long-standing tradition of Thanksgiving. 【1】
Though I couldn’t have a reunion with my family when I was an exchange student at Newton South High School near Boston, I spent my Thanksgiving with my friend, Emily and her family.
【2】 Ever since Thanksgiving was made an official holiday in 1863 in the US, turkey has always been on the menu. 【3】
Emily’s family also kept the tradition. Emily’s mother prepared turkey in the early afternoon. She filled up the turkey with bread cubes, onion slices and papers. A few hours later, we could eat delicious food. Many other foods also came with the main dish. Pumpkin pie is a popular dessert for the day.
Some of the traditional colors for Thanksgiving are orange, yellow and brown, as they stand for pumpkin, corn and turkey. 【4】 After dinner, we went to a community party, where I met some of Emily’s neighbors. People dressed up for the holiday, and there were Thanksgiving decorations all over the place.
Even though I was thousands of kilometers away from my home in Beijing, I still found a home in the US with Emily and her family. 【5】
A.This is why Thanksgiving is also called Turkey Day.
B.Preparing and eating turkey is a well-known thanksgiving tradition.
C.Turkey is the most delicious food in the world.
D.Distance doesn’t really matter as relatives return home to be with their family.
E.They brushed the turkey with a butter mixture and roasted it.
F.People usually use these colors to decorate (装饰)their homes and common areas.
G.As an saying goes that forever on Thanksgiving Day, the heart will find the pathway home.
28、Little New Year usually falls a week before the lunar New Year. It is also known as the Festival of the Kitchen God, the deity (神) who oversees the moral character of each household. Here are six things you should know about the Little New Year, another sign of the start of spring.
1. Offer sacrifices to Kitchen God
One of the most distinctive traditions of the Little New Year is the burning of a paper image of the Kitchen God, who will report on the family’s conduct over the past year. The offerings to the Kitchen God include pig’s head, fish, sweet bean paste, melons, fruit, boiled dumplings, barley sugar, and Guandong candy. Most of the offerings are sweets of various varieties. It is thought that this will seal the Kitchen God’s mouth and encourage him to only say good things about the family when he ascends to Heaven to make his report.
2. House cleaning
According to Chinese folk beliefs, during the last month of the year ghosts and deities must choose either to return to Heaven or to stay on Earth. It is believed that in order to ensure the ghosts and deities’ timely departure people must thoroughly clean both their persons and their houses, down to every last drawer and cupboard.
3. Eat Guandong candy
Guandong candy, a sticky treat made out of glutinous millet and sprouted wheat, is a traditional snack that Chinese people eat on the Festival of the Kitchen God.
4. Paste paper-cuts to windows
In the Little New Year, old couplets and paper-cuts from the previous Spring Festival are taken down, and new window decorations, New Year’s posters, and auspicious (吉利的) decorations are pasted up.
5. Bath and hair-cut
As the old Chinese saying goes, whether they’re rich or poor, people often have a haircut before the Spring Festival. The activity of taking bath and haircut is often taken on the Little New Year.
6. Preparations for the Spring Festival
People start to stock up necessary provisions for the Spring Festival since the Little New Year. Everything needed to make offerings to the ancestors, entertain guests, and feed the family over the long holiday must be purchased in advance.
