Like almst every set f new parents. Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started taking pictures f their sn, Nah, practically frm the mment he was brn.

The flash n their digital camera created the typical red dt in the center f Nah's left eye, but the right eye had a white spt at the center, almst as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by smething.
When Elizabeth mentined the strange phenmenn t their dctr, she shined a light int Nah's eye, and saw the same white reflectin, a tell-tale sign f retinal (视网膜的) cancer. After that, Nah received mnths f chemtherapy and radiatin, but dctrs finally culd nt save his eye.
Nah's tumur (肿瘤) is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw culdn't help but wnder whether there were signs he'd missed. He went back ver every baby picture f Nah he culd find and discvered the first white spt in a pht taken when Nah was 12 days ld. "By the time he was fur mnths ld, it was shwing up in 25 per cent f the pictures taken f him per mnth," Bryan tld Peple.
It was t late fr Nah's eye, but Bryan was determined t put his hard-wn insights t gd use, s ne created a database that charted the cancer's appearance in every pht. He als cllected phts and data frm eight ther children with retinblastma. Armed with that data, he began t wrk with clleagues t develp a smartphne app that can scan the phts in the user's camera rll t search fr white eye and can be used as a kind f phthalmscpe (检眼镜).

Inspiratin 4, as the missin is called, is indeed impressive, the first time "nrmal peple" with minimal training will leave the planet, enter rbit, and return t Earth days later - a cnsiderable advancement frm the 11-minute jy ride Jeff Bezs tk in July. But despite the lfty name, dn't be fled: Inspiratin, is nt the victry fr everyne that it presents itself t be.
I've been hugely critical f the billinaire space race, which incautiusly pllutes ur atmsphere and has the enrmus pprtunity cst f time, mney, resurces, and energy that culd g tward mre urgent planetary issues, like wrld hunger and glbal pverty. Clean energy research, sustainable transprtatin innvatins, and the creatin f high-paying jbs in green sectrs wuld d far mre fr the average nn-billinaire than a rcket ship ever will.
Still, we're being tricked and get cnvinced that SpaceX's civilian missin is "inspiring" because its passengers aren't prfessinals. The Falcn 9 rcket was chartered (受特许的) by businessman Jared lsaacman, wh has successfully shaped the missin as a wrthy cause fr Wednesday's vyage is part f a large fundraising effrt fr St. Jude Children's Research Hspital.
As fr his guests, lsaacman is taking St. Jude physician assistant Hayley Arceneaux; Sian Prctr, a passed-ver finalist frm NASA's astrnaut prgram; and Chris Sembski, wh was gifted his spt after his friend wn it in a raffle (抽奖). N dubt, the primary reasn fr the jurney is marketing fr private space travel.
It's hard nt t be wn ver! But that's als the pint. "Civilian" missins like Inspiratin make space travel appear t be "accessible t all", despite the fact that spaceflight will be "a hbby nly reserved fr billinaires and cent-millinaires fr many years t cme," as Business Insider writes. Yet if space turism cmpanies can get the general public t supprt them, then they've effectively gtten us t buy int smething that des nt actually d any gd t us. Additinally, whenever smething earnestly asks yu t cnsider it an "inspiratin", it's always gd t ask yurself why.
27. Accrding t the passage, Inspiratin 4 is ________.
A. the first civilian missin t rbit the earth
B. a minute-lng jy ride t leave the planet
C. the first space trip fr peple withut training
D. an impressive spaceflight experienced by prfessinals
28. The underlined wrd "lfty"" in Paragraph 1 prbably means ________.
A. interestingB. nbleC. cmmnD. riginal
29. Which f the fllwing statements n Inspiratin4 des the authr agree with?
A. It slws the creatin f high-paying jbs
B. It wrsens wrld hunger and glbal pverty.
C. It wastes time, mney, resurces and energy.
D. It accelerates the research prcess f clean energy.
30. Which f the fllwing is the best title f the article?
A. Space trip: Inspiratin fr Civilians
B. Inspiratin4: Nt Really an Inspiratin
C. Space turism: A Privilege fr Billinaires
D. Private Spaceflight: A Wrthy Cause fr All

The Science f Fear
Hme alne at night, yu hear a lud crash. In an instant yur heart starts racing, yur muscles tense and yur breath quickens. Yu are immediately alert, prepared t fight r flee the surce f the sund, which tums ut t be a pile f bks falling ff that shelf yu've been meaning t fix. 31
Fear is ne f ur strngest and mst basic emtins. It's a big bad wrld ut there, and being afraid f certain things prtects us frm ptential danger t make sure we survive. Sme evlutinary fears are hard-wired int ur brains, but we can als develp new fears thrughut ur lives. As children we pick up n what makes ur parents anxius, and we may als learn t fear certain things after negative experiences. 32 We can enjy the view frm the tp f a skyscraper rather than wrry abut falling, r turn ut the light-safe in the knwledge that a wlf wn't swallw us in the night.
Hwever, peple with phbias have an extreme fear respnse that causes bth physical and psychlgical suffering. 35 Agraphbia is generally referred t as the fear f pen spaces, but it applies t the dread f any situatin that is difficult t escape frm, r where help wuld nt be available if smething went wrng. Scial phbia is the intense fear f interacting with peple r perfrming, while specific phbias are the fear f a particular situatin, activity r thing. 34 Smebdy with acrphbia - an extreme fear f heights — may experience a panic attacl, stmpl trying t walk acrss a bridge. Depending n the cause f their phbia, sufferers ften try their best t avid situatins that culd affect them.
35 Fr example, smebdy may develp cynphbia— the fear f dgs—after being bitten. But whether the cause is ratinal (理性的) r irratinal, as sn as the brain ntices a scary stimulus (刺激物), it activates the fight-r-flight respnse, thus preparing the bdy fr actin.
A. Then, hw can it be vercme?
B. These irratinal fears can cause majr disturbance t everyday life.
C. But in that mment, yur brain and bdy reacted as if yu were in extreme danger.
D. Despite this, mst f us are able t ignre ur fears when it's clear we aren't in any immediate danger.
E. Our brains warn us f the risks that might lie ahead, but then we ften get prepared and vercme them.
F. These extreme fears are divided int three different grups: agraphbia, scial phbia and specific phbias.
G. The cause f phbias is nt always clear, but many cases are linked t experiencing r witnessing unpleasant events.
