When Jennifer Dudna was in sixth grade, she came hme ne day t find that her dad had left a bk titled The Duble Helix n her bed. She put it aside, thinking it was ne f thse detective tales she lved.
On a rainy Saturday, she picked up the bk. As she sped thrugh the pages, she became fascinated by the drama, which encuraged her t explre nature's wnders. Even thugh her high schl teacher tld her that girls didn't becme scientists, she decided she wuld.
She wrked with a bilgist, Charpentier, t turn a curisity f nature int an inventin一an easy-t-use tl that can edit DNA. Knwn as Crispr, the tl will transfrm the human race. James Watsn, the authr f The Duble Helix, later tld her it was the mst imprtant bilgical advance: since he and Francis Crick discvered the structure f DNA.
Fr this achievement, Dudna and Charpentier were awarded the Nbel Prize in Chemistry in 2020. Until nw, nly five wmen, beginning with Marie Curie in 1911, had wn r shared the Nbel fr Chemistry. ut f 184 award winners. When this year's prize was annunced, Dr. Charpentier said it wuld prvide a message specifically t yung girls wh wuld like t fllw the path f science and t shw them that wmen can als be awarded prizes.
A few decades frm nw, if it becmes pssible and sate t edit DNA, shuld we allw parents t imprve the IQ and physical strength f their kids? Shuld we let them decide eye clr? Skin clr? Height? After helping t discver Crispr, Dr. Dudna has becme a leader in cnsidering these mral issues. That's the main message we shuld take frm this Nbel: New technlgies can be a huge benefit t the human race, but in rder t make sure they are used wisely, it's imprtant fr peple t understand them.

When we lk at a lvely baby, a puppy r a really cute kitten, many f us want t squeeze it. Why is that?
Accrding t a study published in the jurnal Frntiers in Behaviral Neurscience, it’s a typical experience f “cute aggressin”. The experience results frm the fight between the brain’s “emtin system”, which impels (驱使) peple t squeeze cute things, and its “reward system” which deals with feelings f “wanting”.
In the study, 54 participants between the ages f 18 and 40 were presented with fur grups f phts. Tw f the grups f phts were f cute human babies and animals and the ther tw were f less adrable adult humans and animals. As the participants lked at the phts, there searchers watched their brain activities.
Accrding t the researchers, the participants reward systems were fund t be active as they lked at the cute babies, and they seemed t be verwhelmed. By cntrast, the reward systems f the peple lking at the less cute adults were fund t be inactive, and they seemed t be less impelled by their reward systems.
This suggests that cute things activate their emtin systems in such a way that peple are verwhelmed by the experience f cuteness. But reward systems wrk against these emtins by creating the desire t prtect cute things.
As Katherine Stavrpuls, the lead researcher f this study at the University f Califrnia in the US tld Science Alert, “The cute aggressin is the brain’s way f ‘bringing us back dwn’ by balancing ur feelings f being verwhelmed.”
Stavrpuls cmpared this prcess f balancing t an evlutinary adaptatin. Such an adaptatin may have taken place t ensure that peple are able t cntinue taking care f creatures they cnsider particularly cute.
S, althugh cute babies and adrable animals may lk cmpletely helpless, their vulnerable appearance may in fact help them t survive.
28. What is “cute aggressin” accrding t the text?
A. The emtin f wanting t prtect cute things.
B. The task f emtin system and reward system.
C. The adaptatin f cnsistently taking care f cute creatures.
D. The behavir f squeezing a cute baby r animal when seeing it.
29. What leads t “cute aggressin” in nature?
A. The need f the brain t balance all feelings.
B. The phts f cute human babies and animals.
C. The vulnerable appearance f babies r animals.
D. The cnflict between emtin system and reward system.
30. What can we learn abut the study?
A. Facial expressins f the participants were bserved.
B. Katherine Stavrpuls cnducted this study n her wn.
C. Cute babies and animals affected brain activities f all the participants.
D. The participants were divided int tw grups in rder t make cmparisn.
31. What is the authr’s purpse f writing this text?
A. T persuade readers t prtect cute animals.
B. T stress the significance f cute aggressin.
C. T present research findings n cute aggressin.
D. T share an interesting phenmenn with readers.

While the human wrld is suffering frm the nvel crnavirus utbreak, ur planet is actually shwing certain signs f “recvery” frm the damage caused by human activity. Accrding t the BBC, new satellite images released by the Eurpean Space Agency shwed that levels f air pllutants and greenhuse gases have “fallen sharply” in majr cities in Eurpe and the United States ever since the lckdwn(活动限制) started.
This is what happened after recent discveries in Antarctica. An internatinal team f 89 scientists fund that the ice in Greenland and Antarctica is melting six times faster in the 2010s than it was in the 1990s. And in February, Argentina’s Marambi research statin in Antarctica recrded a recrd high temperature f 20.75 ℃ n the cntinent.
S what exactly will happen if the temperature keeps rising and the ice keeps melting? A third study might give yu an idea. A team f scientists drilled a hle int the seaflr in west Antarctica and extracted material frm undergrund, in which they fund traces f rts, spres and pllen—typical prducts f a rainfrest—that dated back 90 millin years ag. In ther wrds, Antarctica was very likely a rainfrest back when the dinsaurs walked n Earth. But given the fact that the Suth Ple has fur mnths f darkness during winter—even millins f years ag—scientists believe that the rainfrest culd nly exist if the greenhuse gas cncentratins were extremely high back then t keep the cntinent warm when there was little r n sunlight.
“We didn’t knw that this Cretaceus (白垩纪的) greenhuse climate was that extreme,” Jhann Klages f the Alfred Wegener Institute in Germany and a c-authr f the research tld the Guardian. “It shws us what carbn dixide is able t d.”
Ice r n ice, Antarctica will be—and has always been—fine with extreme changes. The human wrld, hwever, may nt be.
Nw, during the crnavirus lckdwn, we’ve seen the changes resulting frm less human activity. Hpefully, we’ll hld n t thse changes—nt fr Antarctica r the planet, but fr urselves.
32. What des Paragraph 1 mainly tell us?
A. The nvel crnavirus utbreak in fact resulted frm human activity.
B. The nvel crnavirus prves t have a psitive effect n the human beings.
C. The lckdwn f majr cities cntributed t the decrease f greenhuse gases.
D. Our planet is returning t its riginal state due t the nvel crnavirus utbreak.
33. What d we learn frm the third study?
A. Typical prducts f a rainfrest were dug ut in Antarctica.
B. Traces f dinsaurs living in rainfrests were sptted in Antarctica.
C. There used t be enugh sunlight fr the rainfrest in the Cretaceus Antarctica.
D. There was a gd pssibility f high greenhuse gas cncentratins in Antarctica.
34. What is the main purpse f the passage?
A. T explain the effects f greenhuse gases.
B. T draw ur attentin t the ecsystem in Antarctica.
C. T call n us t reduce human impact n the envirnment.
D. T encurage all f us t defeat the nvel crnavirus bravely.
35. What can be the suitable title fr the passage?
A. The ice is melting faster in Antarctica
C. Slwing dwn glbal warming by lckdwn
B. The extreme greenhuse climate in the perid f Cretaceus
D. Reducing human activity cntributes t ur planet’s recvery

Will Traditinal Classes be Replaced by Online Classes?
These days many schls have launched nline classes as the pening f the spring semester is further pstpned because f the COVID-19. Hwever, pinins n nline classes vary. Sme welcme the change in teaching methds because it can release teachers frm repeating the same cntents and students can reply the teaching materials as well. Others have just the ppsite pinin. They think that nline educatin lacks teacher-student interactins.
As far as I'm cncerned, traditinal classes can't be replaced by nline nes because what students acquire at schl is mre than knwledge. But when it cmes t the special situatin at the mment, nline classes are a better ptin.
