A
Quicker and faster 3?D printers have allowed not just amazing objects to be created, but have started to affect how doctors treat patients.
We've put together a list of some of the most amazing medical breakthroughs made possible with 3?D printing.
Life?Saving Airway
In 2013, doctors created a new airway for Kaiba Gionfriddo, a boy born with an airway that kept collapsing (萎陷). To save his life doctors printed tiny tubes to join together in different shapes and sizes until one finally worked for Kaiba. It was placed in Kaiba's bronchus (支气管) so that it no longer collapsed. Even more remarkably, once the plant was placed it could stay there. It's designed to eventually be absorbed into the body.
New “Bionic” Hands
One of the most remarkable ways 3?D printing is now being used is as a way to create prosthetics (假肢). A boy born without an arm named Alex was able to get a new “bionic” hand thanks to it. Last year a college student spent 8 weeks coming up with a special prosthetic design that only cost a few hundred dollars in materials. He said he wanted to create a prosthetic far cheaper than other choices that can run tens of thousands of dollars.
A Practice Heart
In Seattle, doctors have been able to use 3?D printing technology to “practice” risky operations so that they will face fewer surprises in the operating room. Kami Sutton was born with her heart “in the wrong place”. For a recent operation her doctor was able to take many scans of Sutton's heart and print out a model. “Kami's heart is truly one?of?a?kind,” Dr. Stephan Seslar, a heart disease specialist said. “Operating on her without understanding the structure of her heart better could be very dangerous.”
A New Skull
A U.K. man was able to have part of his skull rebuilt thanks to a 3?D printer. Stephen Power broke his cheek bones in a crash. To help Power his doctors instead created 3?D bones all carefully printed in the shape of his face. “This is really the first time we've taken it to this stage, where everything has been planned and modeled in advance — and worked sweetly,” said Adrian Sugar, a doctor.
1.What is special about the 3?D printed airway?
A.It uses high?tech materials.
B.It varies in shapes and sizes.
C.It can be absorbed by the body.
D.It can prevent any disease in the airway.
2.What is the advantage of the new “bionic” hand?
A.Its price. B.Its effects.
C.Its materials. D.Its shape design.
3.What does Adrian Sugar think of the new skull printed by 3?D technology?
A.He has doubts about it.
B.He thinks highly of it.
C.It needs to be better planned.
D.It functions well but needs improving.
B
A couple of months ago, we were in a hurry to get somewhere, but it seemed that my 6?year?old daughter had an instinctive (本能的) capacity to slow things down. In response I had become impatient, frustrated and unkind. As I unloaded my apology, she said, “Mom, it's OK. You've never been a mom before. This is your first time. You're just trying. It's OK.”
Her response made me feel ashamed. She had been able to give me what I had refused to give her just moments before — mercy, understanding and sympathy. And I needed it. We all do. In fact, there may be nothing more needed today in our nation and communities.
It's no wonder that former Westboro Baptist Church member Megan has transformed her idea. She spent 20 years representing her family's beliefs with messages of hate towards blacks, Jews and those who support abortion. When she finally started being able to engage in (参与) civil dialog with her “enemies”, she found that “people on the other side were not the ones I had been led to believe ...” Finally, she left the faith of her family. What surprised her most was the forgiveness and understanding she experienced from those who had been her former “enemies”.
My experience with my daughter teaches me that the ability to engage “with the other”, to form a judgment, to avoid tough judgements, and to show sympathy is learned first, and practiced best, at home — even if, as in my case, it is my children who teach me the lesson. Researchers believe the key to developing those abilities in our children lies in how we respond to their feelings, especially the negative ones.
We should all make efforts to create a world where we are all better able to take the perspective (观点) of others, stay away from tough judgments and recognize and respect the humanity in the souls around us. This desire makes my own struggling to be better worth all the efforts every day.
4.What did the author think of her daughter's reaction?
A.Her daughter was not so kind.
B.Her daughter did better than her.
C.Her daughter's words annoyed her.
D.Her daughter should make an apology.
5.The author mentions the example of Megan in order to ________.
A.show that blacks and Jews are treated unfairly
B.judge whether what Megan did was right or not
C.show that there are no forever enemies in our life
D.prove that people should show understanding to each other
6.Why did Megan change her attitude towards her former “enemies”?
A.Because she forgave them at last.
B.Because she knew them better later.
C.Because she made herself understood by them.
D.Because she felt great sympathy towards them.
7.What's the author's attitude toward our future?
A.Hopeful. B.Doubtful.
C.Cautious. D.Worried.
C
Nearly every driver has experienced that feeling of great tiredness, where it becomes almost impossible to stay awake at the wheel. 14?year?old Katherine Wu is too young to have experienced this situation firsthand. However, she noticed how difficult it was for her dad to remain awake while driving back from their family vacations in Florida to their home in Maryland. Her mom had to talk to her dad all the way.
“So I created a tool that can be used instead of my mom talking to my dad to make sure he stays awake and is safe,” she says.
Her invention, “Driver's Companion”, can notice driver sleepiness and warn the driver if he or she is too tired to be on the road.
The user wears a headset (耳机), which sends information about the driver's brain waves (脑电波) to a tiny computer. The computer can be placed in front of the driver. The system then gives warnings, if needed. As the driver becomes sleepier, red color will be shown to warn him or her. The driver will also hear messages warning him to get off the road. The machine can say, “You're tired. Please take a break.”
After sending her invention to the 2014 Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge, Wu was chosen as a finalist and was able to work with Dr. Jesse Miller, who is a product development specialist.
“He helped me understand how important it is to make sure that my invention worked for the people who were using it and that it was user?friendly,” Wu says.
As a young scientist, Wu has some advice for other students of her age: “I would like to tell them that they should choose something they're interested in. So they'll be willing to spend more time on it and enjoy working on it more. Also, when there's difficulty, they should just continue working hard because they'll get over it.”
8.Why did Wu's mother talk to her dad all the way?
A.To prevent an accident.
B.To help him feel relaxed.
C.To discuss their vacations.
D.To make the trip enjoyable.
9.What is the purpose of “Driver's Companion”?
A.To show drivers the way.
B.To prevent drunk driving.
C.To improve driving skills.
D.To help drivers stay awake.
10.Which of the following shows how Driver's Companion works?
A.Sleepiness→Headset→Warnings→Computer
B.Sleepiness→Warnings→Headset→Computer
C.Sleepiness→Headset→Computer→Warnings
D.Sleepiness→Computer→Headset→Warnings
11.Wu advises other young students ________.
A.to enjoy their lives
B.to learn to love science
C.not to do dangerous jobs
D.not to give up what they love
D
Cycling is well known to improve individual health and fitness; it also benefits the wider population in terms of economy, transport and environment. The EU promotes cycling via many measures primarily to achieve sustainable(可持续的) clean and energy?efficient transport systems. However, despite the fact that the benefits outweigh the risks by 20∶1, many consider the risks too great and that the fear of danger on the road needs to be handled. Cycle lanes(车道) have been used to improve cyclists’ safety and encourage more cyclists onto the road. This research in transport aims to study the effect of cycle lanes on cyclists’ safety where passing space given by overtaking(超车) vehicles is concerned.
In this study, the authors used a bicycle equipped with cameras to record vehicle overtaking in varying road situations to determine whether cycle lanes, color block cycle lanes or no cycle lanes affect passing distances and cyclists’ safety. Their 3 comparisons measuring vehicle passing widths found greater overall distances given with a cycle lane than without. Color block vs. uncolored cycle lanes showed little or no difference, as did no cycle lanes vs. color block cycle lanes. Color block lanes had a slight negative effect suggesting that drivers are more careful when cycle lanes have less definition(清晰度).
Interestingly, the authors conclude that other factors have a far greater effect on cyclists’safety than presence or absence of cycle lanes. Road width, parking, opposite vehicle flow and speed were key influences on decreased passing widths. The authors also note that driver behaviour is a hugely important factor and urge more research in this area. “In order to reduce risks and encourage more cycling, reducing and calming the existing motorised traffic must be explored first.” They suggest, “Lane width is the most significant variable(变量) to achieve a sufficient vehicle passing distance. The narrow cycle lanes (<2m) may be not enough. Reconsideration of the entire road design and further exploration of driver behavioural factors are required.”
12.What is the main purpose of the EU’s promoting cycling?
A.To reduce air pollution.
B.To build better transport systems.
C.To improve people’s health.
D.To help people save money on transport.
13.According to the study, color block lanes may________.
A.make drivers a bit careless
B.cause no overtaking
C.get cyclists to feel safer
D.lead to greater passing distances
14.In the researchers’ eyes, the first step to encourage more cycling is to________.
A.redesign and rebuild the roads in a city
B.do more research in public bicycle programs
C.restrict the number of vehicles running on the road
D.make strict traffic rules to control driver behaviour
15.The authors of the research think that driver behaviour________.
A.needs further exploration
B.is an unimportant factor
C.makes cycle lanes narrower
D.is the most significant variable

Dear Mike,
I quite sympathize with you and understand how you feel. To help you save your friendship, here is my advice.
To begin with, having been friends with him for so many years, you should trust him. Maybe something happened to him or his family. He probably doesn't want you to get involved in it. So it may be a good idea to give him some time to be alone. Finally, you can ask another friend to help find out the reason, which is the key to solving the problem.
I hope these suggestions are helpful and that you and Tom are on good terms as before.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
