A
Growing up in a small town in rural Malaysia, we did not have many toys. We had to be creative, so we built kites, played with sand and made jumping ropes from rubber bands. My father worked on my grandfather’s rubber-tree plantation, and sometimes he would take me with him and show me the thick, white rubber milk extracted (提取) from the trees to produce natural rubber.
After school, I dreamed of becoming an engineer, but I could not get into my local university, because Malaysia’s race-based system limits the number of Chinese students. Like many of my friends, I had to leave Malaysia to go to university.
My brother and I landed in Kansas on a snowy day in the spring of 1991. I had never seen snow before and barely spoke any English. I remember thinking I was halfway round the globe and that, if I screamed, nobody would hear.
A year after I graduated, the Asian economy crashed, and many of my friends back home lost their jobs. In 1997, the US economy was booming, and with a master’s in mechanical engineering, it was easier to find a job in the US. So I started a career in crash safety in Detroit’s motor industry. I loved my job, but regretted not seeing my two daughters much.
They were 9 and 12, and distant towards me. One night after work, I saw them making bracelets (手镯) from rubber bands and I thought, “Hey, I know how to do this. Maybe I can impress you girls.” I sat down and showed them how to link the rubber bands together, using the same technique we had used to make jumping ropes back in Malaysia. But the bracelets kept falling apart. I went down to my basement, grabbed a board and stuck multiple rows of pushpins into it. Then I started linking the bands in a zigzag, like a diamond shape, and it worked really well.
The next day, my daughters took a bunch of colorful bracelets to school. I became a neighborhood hero overnight. Children would come up to me and ask me to make them bracelets. It was my older daughter, Teresa, who first suggested selling them. I spent six months developing the products and designed 28 different versions. I was still working full-time at Nissan, so I would stay up until three or four o’clock every morning.
The biggest challenge was to convince my wife. I am the one in the family with all the crazy ideas, and she is my reality check. She always has the final say. One day, I made a ring out of rubber bands and put it on her finger. After that, she was on board.
We invested our entire family savings of $10,000 to order tooling and 2,000lb of rubber bands from China, and assembled the kits ourselves in our garage. I spent months going round toy stores in Michigan with my daughters, trying to sell the loom band. Nobody was interested. The problem was that people didn’t understand how they worked. So I asked my niece and my daughters to create YouTube videos, explaining how to make rubber-band bracelets. These created a trend.
In July 2012, I received an order from a toy store in Alpharetta, Georgia, for 12 loom-band kits. Less than two weeks later, the same store placed an order for $10,000. When my wife and I saw it, our jaws dropped. We thought it was a mistake. The store owners told us they had never seen anything like that. After that, our sales climbed every month until, in December 2012, we reached $200,000 wholesale sales a month. I took three-month leave from Nissan, but never returned to my old job.
The journey has been magical, but there have been many challenges. Once, our supplier made a mistake and delivered 10,000 metal hooks that were all bent in the wrong shape. I had to hammer every single hook into shape, which took a whole year. Last year, we sold more than $40m worth of rubber-band bracelets. I expect to double that this year.21·世纪*教育网

Eight Ways to Have A Good School-life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them,and ensure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?
Be positive about school. Don’t say things are diffcult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.【21教育名师】
Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
Do today’s work today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.
Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.
Talk about problems. Sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrasssed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything.
Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.【21cnj*y.co*m】
Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. try to make progress bit by bit. Think of small targets: “I will speak in class four times this week”, “I will finish my project on Wednesday” or “I will get two more marks this week”.
Follow our advice, and have a happy school-life!

Angela Watts and her daughter both learned they had breast cancer in 2011. After a two-year battle, they are both disease-free. But the war continues.
The new enemy is their waistlines (腰围). Scientists have discovered that overweight not only increases the risks of getting cancer but the chances that cancer will return. Now, as medical studies seek to determine how much weight loss is needed for a better prognosis (诊断), and whether the fat-cancer link can be disrupted in other ways, patients are being encouraged to slim down.
“We need to do this for our health, now more than ever,” said Angela Watts, 59, who is among the first survivors to benefit from a calorie-counting computer program provided by Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was treated for Stage 2 breast cancer. 2·1·c·n·j·y
Given that two-thirds of the national population is overweight, the connection between fat and breast cancer, the strongest in those diagnosed with the disease, is especially troubling. Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer for women in America, with more than 200,000 diagnoses and almost 40,700 deaths reported last year.
Doctors and public health officials have long been promoting lifestyle changes to stop heart disease and diabetes, but they believe fewer people associate better diets and exercise with cancer prevention. Cancer patients, meanwhile, face their own problems. They might have trouble dieting and exercising because treatment often makes them gain weight while experiencing fatigue (疲劳) and other side effects. Given those challenges, researchers in Baltimore and across the country are seeking the best ways to change behaviors among those with a diagnosis and those who could be headed down that path.
Dr. Lewis E. Foxhall, who works on cancer prevention policy at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says doctors don’t know exactly how much weight loss improves a prognosis. One study, published in 2009, tracked only those who had weight-loss surgery, which typically cuts much more body fat than diet and exercise, and keeps the fat off longer. Researchers also believe that biological changes resulting from the surgery itself might have helped reduce women’s risk of cancer.
Still, Foxhall recommends that doctors advise people to diet and exercise. “We need to pursue the things which are associated with preventing cancer and help us deal with cancer once we get it,” he said. “We need to address nutrition and physical activities and make sure people can make healthy choices.”
Scientists think that obese women have high levels of hormones — including insulin, which regulates blood sugar, estrogen, a female sex hormone, and leptin, which helps regulate appetite — that lead to complex biological changes, including inflammation (炎症) in the body that can promote cancer growth. Some researchers are looking for ways to disrupt this link. Dipali Sharma, an associate professor working on breast cancer at Johns Hopkins, wants to develop a pill. After exploring the biology of many compounds, she’s focusing on broccoli(花椰菜), garlic and the magnolia plant(木兰属植物).21世纪教育网
Angela Watts says the computer program is helping her. She’s been through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for her breast cancer, and she knows that dropping more pounds can reduce the risk of the cancer recurring. The computer counts calories from her meals and subtracts (减去) calories burned from exercising, warning her when she’s approaching her daily 1,500-calorie limit. Watts says she weighed as much as 212 pounds and has a goal weight of 150.
28. Angela Watts and her daughter have to continue the war because .
A. they are both diagnosed with breast cancer
B. they should have a better prognosis regularly
C. breast cancer has caused more serious problems
D. overweight may lead to the recurrence of the cancer
29. When a person is being treated for cancer, .
A. he can’t live a normal life
B. he may feel tired and put on weight
C. he must be brave enough to take challenges
D. he should know his diets and exercise exactly
30. According to the passage, we can know that Dr. Lewis E. Foxhall .
A. holds the idea that prevention comes first
B. believes biological changes help cure women’s cancer
C. suggests that doctors should provide proper diets and exercise
D. doesn’t think losing weight improves a prognosis
31. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Slim women are much healthier in the USA.
B. Most experts doubt the calorie-counting program.
C. Dipali Sharma has invented pills to cure breast cancer.
D. Eating more broccoli or garlic can be beneficial to Angela.
D
If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."21-cnjy*com
32. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.
A. exchanging B. building C. controlling D. transplanting
33. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that____________.
A. participants will live more passionately after the experiment
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies21cnjy.com
C. our feelings are related to our bodily experience 【21·世纪·教育·网】
D. the Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
34. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, __________.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they were more biased against those unlike them
C. they changed their behaviour dramatically
D. they scored lower on the test for racism
35. It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A. technology helps people realize their dreams
B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments
C. virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D. our points of view about others need changing constantly

We live on the earth, but we are not alone in the world. Everyone know we should keep the balance of nature, or we don’t always do as we say . A species can become endangered with different reasons. But the very important one is their living places are ruined. We cut down trees without plant new ones, and we pollute the place here animal live. Because of this, they have no home and they are going to be die out. Other reason is money. Many tigers are killed by those who want to sell our fur and use their bones for medicine. We should do everything which can be done to change the situation, or wild animals can only exist in our memories.www.21-cn-jy.com

A
Growing up in a small town in rural Malaysia, we did not have many toys. We had to be creative, so we built kites, played with sand and made jumping ropes from rubber bands. My father worked on my grandfather’s rubber-tree plantation, and sometimes he would take me with him and show me the thick, white rubber milk extracted (提取) from the trees to produce natural rubber.
After school, I dreamed of becoming an engineer, but I could not get into my local university, because Malaysia’s race-based system limits the number of Chinese students. Like many of my friends, I had to leave Malaysia to go to university.
My brother and I landed in Kansas on a snowy day in the spring of 1991. I had never seen snow before and barely spoke any English. I remember thinking I was halfway round the globe and that, if I screamed, nobody would hear.
A year after I graduated, the Asian economy crashed, and many of my friends back home lost their jobs. In 1997, the US economy was booming, and with a master’s in mechanical engineering, it was easier to find a job in the US. So I started a career in crash safety in Detroit’s motor industry. I loved my job, but regretted not seeing my two daughters much.
They were 9 and 12, and distant towards me. One night after work, I saw them making bracelets (手镯) from rubber bands and I thought, “Hey, I know how to do this. Maybe I can impress you girls.” I sat down and showed them how to link the rubber bands together, using the same technique we had used to make jumping ropes back in Malaysia. But the bracelets kept falling apart. I went down to my basement, grabbed a board and stuck multiple rows of pushpins into it. Then I started linking the bands in a zigzag, like a diamond shape, and it worked really well.
The next day, my daughters took a bunch of colorful bracelets to school. I became a neighborhood hero overnight. Children would come up to me and ask me to make them bracelets. It was my older daughter, Teresa, who first suggested selling them. I spent six months developing the products and designed 28 different versions. I was still working full-time at Nissan, so I would stay up until three or four o’clock every morning.
The biggest challenge was to convince my wife. I am the one in the family with all the crazy ideas, and she is my reality check. She always has the final say. One day, I made a ring out of rubber bands and put it on her finger. After that, she was on board.
We invested our entire family savings of $10,000 to order tooling and 2,000lb of rubber bands from China, and assembled the kits ourselves in our garage. I spent months going round toy stores in Michigan with my daughters, trying to sell the loom band. Nobody was interested. The problem was that people didn’t understand how they worked. So I asked my niece and my daughters to create YouTube videos, explaining how to make rubber-band bracelets. These created a trend.
In July 2012, I received an order from a toy store in Alpharetta, Georgia, for 12 loom-band kits. Less than two weeks later, the same store placed an order for $10,000. When my wife and I saw it, our jaws dropped. We thought it was a mistake. The store owners told us they had never seen anything like that. After that, our sales climbed every month until, in December 2012, we reached $200,000 wholesale sales a month. I took three-month leave from Nissan, but never returned to my old job.
The journey has been magical, but there have been many challenges. Once, our supplier made a mistake and delivered 10,000 metal hooks that were all bent in the wrong shape. I had to hammer every single hook into shape, which took a whole year. Last year, we sold more than $40m worth of rubber-band bracelets. I expect to double that this year.21·世纪*教育网

Eight Ways to Have A Good School-life
Your schooldays should be some of the best and happiest days of your life. How can you gain the most from them,and ensure you do not waste this wonderful opportunity to learn?
Be positive about school. Don’t say things are diffcult or boring. Be interested in school-life and your school subjects. Join lots of activities. Be quick to put your hand up. Go round the school with a big smile.【21教育名师】
Expect to work. School is not a holiday camp. If you are not working, you are not learning, and you are wasting your time at school. Teachers cannot make everything enjoyable.
Keep fit. If you do not eat a good breakfast, you will be thinking about food in class. If you go to bed late and do not have enough sleep, you will be sleepy in class. Play some sports to keep your body strong.
Do today’s work today. Do not say you will do things tomorrow. If you get behind the class, it is very difficult to get back in front. You cannot finish a race if you rest all the time.
Don’t be too disappointed if things sometimes go badly. Everyone fails some tests, loses some matches and has bad days. Friends are not always perfect, and they sometimes say and do unpleasant things. Don’t let small problems seem very big and important.
Talk about problems. Sometimes they are only the result of misunderstanding. Don’t be too embarrasssed to ask for help. You are young. No one thinks you can do everything.
Plan your time. Don’t waste life lying in bed on Saturday morning. Go and play a sport, learn the piano, work on a project, read a book, practise English, or help someone with problems. There are always a lot of things to do.【21cnj*y.co*m】
Set targets. If your last grade was a D, work for a C. try to make progress bit by bit. Think of small targets: “I will speak in class four times this week”, “I will finish my project on Wednesday” or “I will get two more marks this week”.
Follow our advice, and have a happy school-life!

Angela Watts and her daughter both learned they had breast cancer in 2011. After a two-year battle, they are both disease-free. But the war continues.
The new enemy is their waistlines (腰围). Scientists have discovered that overweight not only increases the risks of getting cancer but the chances that cancer will return. Now, as medical studies seek to determine how much weight loss is needed for a better prognosis (诊断), and whether the fat-cancer link can be disrupted in other ways, patients are being encouraged to slim down.
“We need to do this for our health, now more than ever,” said Angela Watts, 59, who is among the first survivors to benefit from a calorie-counting computer program provided by Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was treated for Stage 2 breast cancer. 2·1·c·n·j·y
Given that two-thirds of the national population is overweight, the connection between fat and breast cancer, the strongest in those diagnosed with the disease, is especially troubling. Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer for women in America, with more than 200,000 diagnoses and almost 40,700 deaths reported last year.
Doctors and public health officials have long been promoting lifestyle changes to stop heart disease and diabetes, but they believe fewer people associate better diets and exercise with cancer prevention. Cancer patients, meanwhile, face their own problems. They might have trouble dieting and exercising because treatment often makes them gain weight while experiencing fatigue (疲劳) and other side effects. Given those challenges, researchers in Baltimore and across the country are seeking the best ways to change behaviors among those with a diagnosis and those who could be headed down that path.
Dr. Lewis E. Foxhall, who works on cancer prevention policy at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says doctors don’t know exactly how much weight loss improves a prognosis. One study, published in 2009, tracked only those who had weight-loss surgery, which typically cuts much more body fat than diet and exercise, and keeps the fat off longer. Researchers also believe that biological changes resulting from the surgery itself might have helped reduce women’s risk of cancer.
Still, Foxhall recommends that doctors advise people to diet and exercise. “We need to pursue the things which are associated with preventing cancer and help us deal with cancer once we get it,” he said. “We need to address nutrition and physical activities and make sure people can make healthy choices.”
Scientists think that obese women have high levels of hormones — including insulin, which regulates blood sugar, estrogen, a female sex hormone, and leptin, which helps regulate appetite — that lead to complex biological changes, including inflammation (炎症) in the body that can promote cancer growth. Some researchers are looking for ways to disrupt this link. Dipali Sharma, an associate professor working on breast cancer at Johns Hopkins, wants to develop a pill. After exploring the biology of many compounds, she’s focusing on broccoli(花椰菜), garlic and the magnolia plant(木兰属植物).21世纪教育网
Angela Watts says the computer program is helping her. She’s been through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for her breast cancer, and she knows that dropping more pounds can reduce the risk of the cancer recurring. The computer counts calories from her meals and subtracts (减去) calories burned from exercising, warning her when she’s approaching her daily 1,500-calorie limit. Watts says she weighed as much as 212 pounds and has a goal weight of 150.
28. Angela Watts and her daughter have to continue the war because .
A. they are both diagnosed with breast cancer
B. they should have a better prognosis regularly
C. breast cancer has caused more serious problems
D. overweight may lead to the recurrence of the cancer
29. When a person is being treated for cancer, .
A. he can’t live a normal life
B. he may feel tired and put on weight
C. he must be brave enough to take challenges
D. he should know his diets and exercise exactly
30. According to the passage, we can know that Dr. Lewis E. Foxhall .
A. holds the idea that prevention comes first
B. believes biological changes help cure women’s cancer
C. suggests that doctors should provide proper diets and exercise
D. doesn’t think losing weight improves a prognosis
31. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Slim women are much healthier in the USA.
B. Most experts doubt the calorie-counting program.
C. Dipali Sharma has invented pills to cure breast cancer.
D. Eating more broccoli or garlic can be beneficial to Angela.
D
If you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wahl, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. "As I looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partner's pants," she said. "That's the picture I remember best."
The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exact view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.
To get used to seeing another person's body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of slow synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another person's body.
Using such technology promises to alter people's behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in fighting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who don't look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of people's associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants' bias scores were lower. The idea is that once you've "put yourself in another's shoes" you're less likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person.
The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. "At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms," says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the project. "It's a really nice way to have this kind of experience. I would really, really recommend it to everyone."21-cnjy*com
32. The word "swapping" (paragraph 1) is closest in meaning to_________.
A. exchanging B. building C. controlling D. transplanting
33. We can infer from the experiment at the Be Another lab that____________.
A. participants will live more passionately after the experiment
B. we can learn to take control of other people's bodies21cnjy.com
C. our feelings are related to our bodily experience 【21·世纪·教育·网】
D. the Machine to Be Another can help people change their sexes
34. In the Implicit Association Test, before the participants used virtual reality glasses to control a dark skinned digital character, __________.
A. they fought strongly against racism
B. they were more biased against those unlike them
C. they changed their behaviour dramatically
D. they scored lower on the test for racism
35. It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A. technology helps people realize their dreams
B. our biases could be eliminated through experiments
C. virtual reality helps promote understanding among people
D. our points of view about others need changing constantly

We live on the earth, but we are not alone in the world. Everyone know we should keep the balance of nature, or we don’t always do as we say . A species can become endangered with different reasons. But the very important one is their living places are ruined. We cut down trees without plant new ones, and we pollute the place here animal live. Because of this, they have no home and they are going to be die out. Other reason is money. Many tigers are killed by those who want to sell our fur and use their bones for medicine. We should do everything which can be done to change the situation, or wild animals can only exist in our memories.www.21-cn-jy.com
