21、 Benjamin Franklin's inventions reveal a man of many talents and interests. His natural curiosity about things and the way they work made him try to find ways to make them work better.
Ben had poor vision and needed glasses to read. He got tired of constantly taking them off and putting them back on, so he decided to figure out how his glasses let him see both near and far. He had two pairs of glasses cut in half and put half of each hens in a single frame. Today, we call them bifocals.
Everyone knows the story of Ben's famous kite flight. Although he made important discoveries and advancements, Ben did not “invent” the electricity. He did, however, invent the lighting rod which protects buildings and ships from lighting.
In colonial America, most people warmed their homes by building a fire in a fireplace even though it was dangerous and used a lot of wood. Ben figured that there had to be a better way. His invention of an iron furnace stove allowed people to warm their homes less dangerously and with less wood. The furnace stove that he invented is called the Franklin Stove. Interestingly enough, Ben also established the first fire company and the first fire insurance company in order to help people live more safely.
As a postmaster, Ben had to figure out routes for delivering the mail. He went out riding in his carriage to measure the routes and needed a way to keep track of the distance. He invented a simple odometer and attached it to his carriage.
Later, other famous inventors, like Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell, followed in Ben's footsteps by trying to find ways to help people live better.
【1】What do we know about the Franklin Stove?
A.It is made of iron and easy to carry. B.It is much smaller than the traditional stove.
C.It is much safer and can save wood. D.It reaches the requirements of the fire company.
【2】What characteristic did Franklin, Edison and Bell have in common?
A.They had a strong desire to make life better. B.They were excellent students at school.
C.They were born in the same age. D.They made people's life simple.
【3】What would be the best title for this passage?
A.The life of Benjamin Franklin B.A great man
C.Benjamin Franklin, a great inventor D.How to help people live better.

24、There are various treatments for baldness(秃顶) on the market. But what if you could regrow your own hair out of your own head by simply using an ointment(药膏)?
In a paper, South Korean scientists describe a treatment for hair loss that doesn't just prevent hair loss —it promotes the growth of new follicles(毛囊) in hairless mice.
Led by professor Kangyeol of Yonsei University, a team of researchers discovered a protein responsible for hair loss in pattern baldness—the most common type of hair loss in both men and women. It has been a three-year painful research. The good news is that the team have finally found a protein that controls the hair growth and developed a new substance(物质) that promotes hair regrowth by controlling the function of the protein. “We expect that the newly developed substance will contribute to the development of a drug that not only treats hair loss but also promotes hair regrowth,” Kangyeol said.
The trouble-maker seems to be CXXC5, which acts as a negative regulator(调节器) linked to hair regrowth and wound recovery. When CXXC5 mixes with some other protein, it prevents follicle development and hair regrowth. A new substance developed by the team prevents this mixing. It’s called PTD-DBM, and when tried on the skin of bald mice for 28 days, new follicles developed.
New treatments often take time to develop. It’s not only because they need to go through clinical trials to determine their safety, but also as we know, using mouse models to study how well things might respond in humans doesn’t always work. However, the team’s research is making progress rapidly. They’re currently testing their new substance on animals to determine whether it’s harmful, before advancing to human trials.

A．A protein responsible for hair loss.
B．A substance developed by the team.
C．A protein contributed to hair regrowth.
D．A substance preventing the mixing.
【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the research?
A．Doubtful.
