When Jennifer Doudna was in sixth grade, she came home one day to find that her dad had lefta book titled The Double Helix on her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was one of those detective tales she loved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the book. As she sped through the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encouraged her to explore nature's wonders. Even though her high school teacher told her that girls didn't become scientists, she decided she would.
She worked with a biologist, Charpentier, to turn a curiosity of nature into an invention—an easy-to-use tool that can edit DNA. Known as Crispr, the tool will transform the human race. James Watson, the author of The Double Helix, later told her it was the most important biological advance: since he and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA.
For this achievement, Doudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until now, only five women, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had won or shared the Nobel for Chemistry out of 184 award winners. When this year's prize was announced, Dr. Charpentier said it would provide a message specifically to young girls who would like to follow the path of science and to show them that women can also be awarded prizes.
A few decades from now, if it becomes possible and sate to edit DNA, should we allow parents to improve the IQ and physical strength of their kids? Should we let them decide eye color1 ? Skin color1 ? Height? After helping to discover Crispr, Dr. Doudna has become a leader in considering these moral issues. That's the main message we should take from this Nobel: New technologies can be a huge benefit to the human race, but in order to make sure they are used wisely, it's important for people to understand them. 4. Jennifer Doudna decided to become a scientist because,__________ A. her father pushed her B. a book inspired her
C. her teacher encouraged her D. James Watson motivated her
5. Dr. Doudna was awarded the Nobel Prize because,__________.
A. she wrote the book “The Double Helix\" B. she discovered the structure of DNA C. she is a hardworking woman scientist D. she helped invent a tool for editing DNA 6. According to passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A. The two women's success will inspire more girls to be devoted to science. B. Since 1911, there have been 184 people who won the Nobel for chemistry. C. If girls follow the path of science, they will surely achieve their goals. D. Crispr will make a big difference to the human race. 7. Which words can best describe Jennifer Doudna?
A. Determined and responsible. B. Ambitious and humorous. C. Cruel and indifferent. D. Fearless and stubborn.

In a recent survey of 2000 Americans, housecleaning was shown to have some mood-boosting effects — but that doesn't mean everybody is willing to do it.
The majority of respondents (受访者) said cleaning gave them a sense of accomplishment (65%) and helped them clear their mind (63%). Half of these adults said they are most often motivated to clean when they're happy. In fact, 63% of those surveyed find the experience of cleaning to be relaxing - even more so than getting fresh air (61%).
But that's not the only reason people clean. A big 70% admitted that tidying their home was a way of putting off having to do other things, with the average procrastinator (拖延者) using that trick four times a week. The survey showed that 86% of respondents do feel on top of their housework, but the last deep clean of their kitchen happened over a week and a half ago. That's no surprise because the kitchen is most terrible of all.
Conducted by OnePoll on behalf of DishFish, the survey investigated people's attitudes toward dirty dishes and how they get through tricky task. More than two-thirds of people (69%) let their dishes pile up between washings with 20% saying “always” letting them be placed in the sink, which left them feeling stressed. More than any other room, the kitchen was rated as “very difficult” to cope with. And most people enjoy cleaning their toilet or taking out the garbage more than washing dishes by hand.
How do they get through it? 66% listen to music while they clean. 72% have a best-loved song that they sounded while tidying up their home, with “Uptown Funk,”“Read All About It” and “Work” being the three favorite tunes on America's cleaning playlist.
8. What is the result of the survey?
A. Housecleaning may contribute to a good mood to some extent. B. Housecleaning may strengthen people's willingness to volunteer. C. Housecleaning may cause anxiety and concern for some people. D. Housecleaning may improve people's motivation to other housework. 9. What is the top reason why people undertake housecleaning? A. They can entertain themselves. B. They can take in fresh air. C. They get a sense of achievement. D. They can delay other things.
10. What are respondents' attitudes to dirty dishes?
A. Many would rather wash dishes than throw out the rubbish. B. Half are under pressure with dirty dishes lying in the sink. C. A quarter will let dirty dishes pile up after their meals. D. Most prefer cleaning their toiletto washing dishes by hand. 11. What column does the text belong to? A. Feature Story. B. Family Life. C. Scientific Hotspot. D. Finance Focus.

You've probably heard it suggested that you need to move more throughout the day, and as a general rule of thumb, that \"more\" is often defined as around 10,000 steps. With many Americans tracking their stepsvia new fitness-tracking wearables, or even just by carrying their phone, more and more people use the 10,000-step rule as their marker for healthy living. Dr. Dreg Hager, professor of computer science at Johns Hopkins, decided to take a closer look at that 10,000-step rule, and he found that usingitas a standard may be doing more harm than good for many.
“It turns out that in 1960 in Japan they figured out that the average Japanese man, when he walked 10,000 steps a day burned something like 3,000 calories and that is what they thought the average person should consume so they picked 10,000 steps as a number” Hager said.
According to Hager, asking everyone to shoot for 10,000 steps each day could be harmful to the elderly or those with medical conditions, making it unwise for them to jump into that level of exercise, even if it's walking. The bottom line is that 10,000 steps may be too many for some and too few for others. He also noted that those with shorter legs have an easier time hitting the 10,000-step goal because they have to take more steps than people with longer legs to cover the distance. It seems that 10,000 steps may be suitable for the latter.
A more recent study focused on older women and how many steps can help maintain good health and promote longevity (长寿).The study included nearly 17,000 women with an average age of 72. Researchers found that women who took 4,400 steps per day were about 40% less likely to die during a follow-up period of just over four years: Interestingly, women in the study who walked more than 7,500 steps each day got no extra boost in longevity.
12. What does the underlined word \"it' in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. The phone recording. B. The 10,000-step rule. C. The healthy living. D. The fitness-tracking method. 13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. How many steps a Japanese walks. B. How we calculate the number of steps. C. If burning 3,000 calories daily is scientific. D. Where 10,000 steps a day came from.
14. Who will probably benefit from 10,000 steps each day according toHager? A. Senior citizens. B. Young short-legged people. C. Healthy long-legged people D. Weak individuals.
15. How many steps may the researchers suggest senior citizens take each day? A. 4,400 steps. B. 10,000 steps. C. 2,700 steps. D. 7,500 steps.
