Time magazine has chsen its 2024 Kid f the Year — and it’s Heman Bekele, a teenager wh culd change the way skin cancer is treated.
As a student frm Fairfax’s Wdsn High Schl, Bekele divides his time between the classrm and the lab at Jhns Hpkins University, where he’s inventing a sap that culd ne day treat the deadly disease. “I was raised under the thught that I culd always ask questins, and be as curius as pssible,” Bekele said. “ And this pushed me t the field f science.” Sme f Bekele’s earliest memries were seeing farmers wrk under the terrible heat with n heat prtectin frm the sun’s UV rays in Ethipia, where he was brn. This was ne factr that made him tackle skin cancer after he mved t the US.
At hme, Bekele — wh’d entertain himself fr hurs as a child by mixing tgether any husehld prducts he culd get his hands n and seeing what wuld happen — began wndering hw he culd help. “ What’s ne thing that is an internatinally impactful idea, smething everyne can use, regardless f sciecnmic class?” Bekele asked himself. “Almst everyne uses sap and water fr cleaning. S sap wuld prbably be the best ptin.” S Bekele began his deliberate trial- and- errr prcess, which led him t learn abut a cream- based skin cancer treatment called Imiquimd that did prduce desired results — but can cst as much as $180 fr the uninsured in America. Inspired by the cream, Bekele designed his affrdable sap.
Bekele knew he’d need an actual lab t refine his creatin. Bekele applied t — and wn— the Minnesta- based tech cmpany 3M’s Yung Scientist Challenge in 2023, securing$25,000 and the title f “America’s Tp Yung Scientist”. Nw, with the help f Jhns Hpkins’ prfessr and bilgist Vit Rebecca, Bekele has been testing the sap n mice at the university’s lab fr almst half a year. The sap still has a lng way t g: Testing, patenting it and getting FDA certificatin culd take a decade. But even then, Bekele will nly be 25 years ld.

A The farmers’ expsure t the ht sun.
B. His jurney frm the classrm t the lab.
C. The deadly disease he nce suffered frm.
D. His being named Time’s Kid f the Year.
5. What d we knw abut Imiquimd?
A. It was invented by Bekele.B. Bekele prved its side effects.
C It is effective but expensive.D. Bekele prduced it fr his sap.
6. Why did Bekele participate in the Yung Scientist Challenge?
A. T meet Prfessr Vit Rebecca.B. T get supprt t better his sap.
C. T gain the sap patent frm 3M.D. T prmte ready- made prducts.
7. What can we learn frm Bekele’s stry?

Accrding t a recent study in the Jurnal f Cnsumer Research, bth the size and cnsumptin habits f ur eating cmpanins can influence ur fd intake. And cntrary t existing research that says yu shuld avid eating with heavier peple wh rder large prtins(份), it's the beanples with big appetites yu really need t avid.
T test the effect f scial influence n eating habits, the researchers cnducted tw experiments. In the first, 95 undergraduate wmen were individually invited int a lab t stensibly(表面上)participate in a study abut mvie viewership. Befre the film began, each wman was asked t help herself t a snack. An actr hired by the researchers grabbed her fd first. In her natural state, the actr weighed 105 punds. But in half the cases she wre a specially designed fat suit which increased her weight t 180 punds.
Bth the fat and thin versins f the actr tk a large amunt f fd. The participants fllwed suit, taking mre fd than they nrmally wuld have. Hwever, they tk significantly mre when the actr was thin.
Fr the secnd test, in ne case the thin actr tk tw pieces f candy frm the snack bwls. In the ther case, she tk 30 pieces. The results were similar t the first test: the participants fllwed suit but tk significantly mre candy when the thin actr tk 30 pieces.
The tests shw that the scial envirnment is extremely influential when we're making decisins. If this fellw participant is ging t eat mre, s will I. Call it the “I’ll have what she's having” effect. Hwever, we'll adjust the influence. If an verweight persn is having a large prtin, I'll hld back a bit because I see the results f his eating habits. But if a thin persn eats a lt, I'll fllw suit. If he can eat much and keep slim, why can't I?
8. What is the recent study mainly abut?
A. Fd safety.B. Mvie viewership.
C. Cnsumer demand.D. Eating behavir.
9. What des the underlined wrd “beanples” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. Big eaters.B. Overweight persns.
C. Picky eaters.D. Tall thin persns.
10. Why did the researchers hire the actr?
A. T see hw she wuld affect the participants.
B. T test if the participants culd recgnize her.
C. T find ut what she wuld d in the tw tests.
D. T study why she culd keep her weight dwn.
11. On what basis d we “adjust the influence” accrding t the last paragraph?
A. Hw hungry we are.B. Hw slim we want t be.
C. Hw we perceive thers.D. Hw we feel abut the fd.
D
Flwers have a lngstanding traditin as a means f emtinal expressin. When we wish t cnvey ur affectin, jy r cndlences (哀悼), and wrds wn’t wrk, we rely n the beauty f the flwers.
One f the mst famus examples f flrigraphy (花艺) is King Charles’ chice f funeral wreath fr his mther, the late Queen. He expressed his sense f lss thrugh his chice f blms: Myrtle (香桃木) fr lve and prsperity, paired with English ak t represent strength.
Hw flrigraphy influences ur decisins has led flrists t make sme interesting bservatins. First, they dcumented that 29 percent f peple chse flwers based n the clr f the buquet, with red being the mst ppular chice. Red is the clr f passin and is widely regarded as an expressin f lve. Hwever, pink has sumless meanings, depending n where yu live: in Thailand, it symblizes trust, while in Japan, it is cnsidered a sign f gd health. Hwever, this nly begins t scratch the surface f flrigraphy.
But like all things in the wrld, there are gd and bad, and sme flwers are used t represent negative feelings tward the recipient. Yu might think yellw carnatins are pretty, but they’ve been a symbl f defiance (蔑视) thrughut histry. Anther flwer best avided is buttercup, whse yellw petals symblize childishness.
By welcming the traditin f flrigraphy back int wider culture, we can explre the depth f ur emtins in unique ways. Take a lk at ur belved emjis — we can talk withut typing a single wrd. Sending a heart here and a fire icn emjis there speaks thrugh their aesthetics, a secret language all their wn. Flwers are n different. They were merely the emjis f the19th Century, still filtering thrugh after all this time.
12. What is the authr’s purpse in referring t the example f King Charles?
A. T prve flwers t be expressive.B. T intrduce the tpic f the passage.
C. T aruse the readers’ interest in flwers.D. T present sme knwledge f flwers.
13. What can be inferred frm Paragraph 4?
A. Sending flwers was histrically disapprved f.
B. Buttercup was suitable flwers fr giving t children.
C. Giving flwers ften leads t sme misunderstandings.
D. A secnd thught shuld be given t flwers t be sent.
14. Hw des the authr make his pint abut flwers in the last paragraph?
A. By listing sme representative emjis.B. By recgnizing the ppularity f emjis.
C. By brrwing the similar features f emjis.D. By mentining the similar histry f emjis.
15. Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the text?
A. The Traditinal Art f Giving FlwersB. The Emtinal Expressin in Flwers
C Scial Functins f Sme FlwersD. Interesting Observatin f Flwers
