26、 We’re reading a book or opening an envelope when, all of a sudden, there’s a sharp pain on our finger. You see a little bit of blood and realize you’ve just gotten a paper cut.
Dr Hayley Goldbach, a resident dermatologist at UCLA Health, spoke about why paper cuts are so jagged, how the element of surprise leaves us in more pain and how to make sure they heal quickly.
Dr Goldbach explained that one reason paper cuts hurt so much is where they occur: primarily on the finger. We have nerve endings all over the body, "she said. "In places where there is refined movement and sensation--like the lips or tips of the fingers-they have a high density of nerve endings. ” These nerve endings are known as nociceptors and they send signals to the brain about things that could cause a break in the skin, such as extreme hot or cold temperatures and chemicals.
Another reason why paper cuts hurt so much is that you re using your hands throughout the day meaning that the wound is constantly getting opened. "You often get paper cuts on the pad or the tip of the finger, different from where you d get a knife cut, "said Dr Goldbach. " It's hard not to use your hands, so there’s constant pressure on the wound without u chanee for it to heal. "
“The paper itself is another reason why these superficial cuts leave us in so much pain. Paper might look and seem smooth but, if you study it under a microscope, the edge is actually jagged. "Paper is quite sharp jagged-it's a bit of serrated edge, "said Dr Goldbach. "It cuts you pretty quickly before you have the chance to realize it. ”
Additionally, paper cuts are quite shallow, which makes them even more annoying to deal with.
Dr Goldbach added that there are mental and emotional elements that cause paper cuts to hurt more than other cuts. "There’s the psychological element of surprise, and it happens so quickly that you don’t have time to withdraw your hand "she said " With some other injuries, you feel pressure so you have time to react. ”
She also added that because we don’t expect to hurt ourselves while working with paper, the surprise of cuts leaves us in further pain. "We tend to be careful with a knife-you’re being careful on purpose: because you know there: s a danger, "said Dr Goldbach. While we are careful with knives, we are not so careful with paper.

27、Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent her life fighting for women to be treated equally. In doing so, she became an inspiring role model for women and girls around the world.
Her passion for women’s rights began when she was young. She started off her adult life having trouble finding a job. Even though she was smart, determined, and capable of doing the job, she was passed over primarily because she was a woman. She felt like she was being treated unfairly, or discriminated against, only because she was a woman. She wanted to do something about it. But at the time there were no laws in the United States to protect her.
She decided to devote her career to being a lawyer and fighting for equal rights of women. Then, early in her legal career, when she was 29 years old, Ms. Ginsburg took a trip to Sweden to perform legal research. What she saw really focused her on fighting for women in the workplace. Seeing the progress women had made in Sweden convinced her even more that America was behind and wrong in its treatment of women.
Back in the USA, laws advocating for women’s rights were missing. She decided that she would help invent laws, write them, and defend them. Ginsburg would also become a professor to help other women to become lawyers so that they could do the same thing. And then, in 1993, after years’ practicing and teaching laws, she became only the 2nd female justice of the Supreme Court.
At only 5'1" tall and as a generally quiet person, Ms. Ginsburg’s power came from her focus, her determination, and her integrity(诚实正直). She went on to become an inspiring role model for girls and women around the world and one of the most respected justices in history. She changed the lives of many women and girls in the United States and beyond.

28、 I’d just finished some shopping, and was getting ready to leave the supermarket’s parking lot, when I heard music coming from the area of the shopping carts (手推车). I knew it was someone I knew, well — the beggar, I couldn’t really call him.
He never begged. It was more like he was open to accepting presents. He never had a sign out, never spoke and never looked at you to beg. He would just sit quietly on the side of the entrance, out of the way, have a little box outside, and thank everyone very politely who gave him something.
He didn’t look like the many people I knew in my town who lived on the streets. His clothes always looked quite clean. I often wondered how he’d gotten to live on the streets. And he was playing his guitar, just like the last time I’d seen him in summer. He hadn’t noticed me then, being so deep into his music.
I started to talk to him. He told me that he had been an epileptic(癫痫患者) as a child and as a young man now, he couldn’t even get the job the social services try to offer people like him — everybody seemed afraid of the responsibility, even though he’d had no seizure (发作) for the past 13 years.
I started feeling sorry for him, but then he said, “I’ve made my peace with that. I’m happy I got an apartment.” He said he’d gotten so much help, and he wanted to try to give back, starting with the music.
I was so happy that he remembered his love for music, and shared his music with the people passing by. I was glad he found an apartment, and had the inner strength not to let himself down, and as he said, “found my faith again”.
【1】In the author’s opinion, what made the man different from other homeless men?
A. He only wanted gifts.
B. He could write music.
C. He always begged near a shop.
D. He always wore clean clothes.
【2】Why was the young man unable to find a job?
A. Because he was too weak to work.
B. Because he considered music to be his job.
C. Because others misunderstood his illness.
D. Because bosses were short of responsibility.
【3】What was the young man’s attitude towards his present situation?
A. Doubtful. B. Grateful.
C. Unconcerned. D. Disappointed.
