Her family supported her. However, all the medical colleges refused her except Geneva Medical College in Ne

17、ng.CExposing living tissue to subfreezing temperatures for long can cause permanent damage. Microscopic ice crystals (结晶体) cut cells and seize moisture (潮气), making donor organs unsuitable for transplantation. Thus, organs can be made cold for only a few hours ahead of a procedure. But a set of last

18、ing new antifreeze compounds (化合物)similar to those found in particularly hardy (耐寒的) animalscould lengthen organs shelf life.Scientists at the University of Warwick in England were inspired by proteins in some species of Arctic fish, wood frogs and other organisms that prevent blood from freezing, a

19、llowing them to flourish in extreme cold. Previous research had shown these natural antifreeze molecules (分子) could preserve rat hearts at -1.3 degrees Celsius for up to 24 hours. But these proteins are expensive to extract (提取) and highly poisonous to some species. “For a long time everyone assumed

20、 you had to make synthetic (人造的) alternatives that looked exactly like antifreeze proteins to solve this problem, ”says Matthew Gibson, a chemist at Warwick who co-authored the new research. “But we found that you can design new molecules that function like antifreeze proteins but do not necessarily

21、 look like them. ”Most natural antifreeze molecules have a mixture of regions that either attract or repel water. Scientists do not know exactly how this process prevents ice crystal formation, but Gibson thinks it might throw water molecules into push-pull chaos that prevents them from tuning into

22、ice. To copy this mechanism, he and his colleagues synthesized spiral-shaped molecules that were mostly water-repellentbut had iron atoms at their centers that made them hydrophilic, or water-loving. The resulting compounds were surprisingly effective at stopping ice crystals from forming. Some were

23、 also harmless to the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans, indicating they might be safe for other animals.“These compounds are really cool because they are not proteinsthey are other types of molecules that nonetheless can do at least part of what natural antifreeze proteins do, ”says Clara do Amaral,

24、 a biologist at Mount St. Joseph University, who was not involved in the research. Gibsons antifreeze compounds will still need to be tested in humans, however, and may be only part of a solution. “We dont have the whole picture yet, ”do Amaral adds. “Its not just one magical compound that helps fre

25、eze-tolerant organisms survive. Its a whole suite of adaptations.28What will happen if organs are kept for a long time in temperatures below zero?AThey will have ice crystal formation inside.BThey will not suffer permanent damage.CThey will have longer shelf life.DThey will be fit for transplantatio

26、n.29What can we learn about natural antifreeze proteins?AThey look like Gibsons antifreeze compounds.BThey are composed of antifreeze molecules harmless to other species.CThey are spiral-shaped and have iron atoms at their centers.DThey can be found in organisms living in freezing cold weather.30How

27、 are antifreeze molecules prevented from ice crystals?ABy creating compounds both water-repellent and water-loving.BBy extracting the proteins from some hardy animals.CBy making synthetic alternatives like antifreeze proteins.DBy copying spiral-shaped molecules mostly water-resistant.31Whats the mai

29、ns do.DWISH YOU WERE MORE CREATIVE?I want to ask you a favor. I have a pair of pants. Tell me: How many different ways can I put a pair of pants to use? Now imagine youre an architect. Same question. Now imagine youre Bill Gates. A scuba diver. A medieval knight. You still have the pants. What alter

30、native uses come to mind?What you just practiced-the conscious act of wearing another self-is an exercise that, according to psychiatrist SriniPillay, MD, is essential to being creative.One great irony (讽刺) about our collective addiction to creativity is that we tend to frame it in uncreative ways.

31、That is to say, most of us marry creativity to our concept of self: Either were “creative” or we arent, without much of a middle ground. Im just not a creative person!” a discouraged student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, making

32、 a comment Im very right-brained.Dr.Pillay, an assistant professor at Harvard University, has spent years overturning these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to challenge the stereotyped (陈词滥调的) advice that urges you to “believe in yourself.” In fact, you should

33、 do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.He points to a study showing the impact of stereotype on ones behavior. The authors, psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into two groups, instructing one group to think of themselves as eccentric poets and

34、the other to imagine they were rigid librarians. The researchers then presented them all with ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. The former group came up with the widest range of ideas, wh

35、ereas the latter had the fewest.These results suggest that creativity is not an individual characteristic but a “product of context and perspective”. Everyone can be creative, as long as he or she feels like a creative person.Dr. Pillays work takes this a step further: He argues that simply identify

36、ing yourself as creative is less powerful than taking the brave, creative step of imagining you are somebody else. This exercise, which he calls psychological Halloweenism, refers to the conscious action of “wearing” another self. An actor may employ this technique to get into character, but anyone

37、can use it. According to Dr. Pillay, it works because it is an act of conscious unfocus, a collection of brain regions that spring into action when youre not focused on a specific task or thought. Most people spend nearly half of their days in a state of unfocus. This doesnt make us lazy; it makes u

38、s human.Imagining yourself in a new situation, or an entirely new identity, never felt so productive. Youre making yourself more creative, and youre giving yourself permission to do something youd otherwise feel guilty about.32Whats the function of the questions in paragraph 1?ATo lead in the topic.

Have you ever wondered why people from different parts of the world eat different types of food? 36 There is more of a connection between food

42、and culture than you may think.37 It becomes a part of who we are. Many associate foods from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us. Food from our family often becomes the comfort we seek as adults in times of fr

43、ustration and stress.On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture. 38 . Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes. However, th

44、e food does not remain exactly the same. Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries. Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as

45、 them, but to people from different countries. 39 Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes. We should embrace our heritage(传统)through our cultures food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food. It is important to reme

46、mber that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it. 40 AFood is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.BOn an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture.CThe smell and taste of the food is very familiar

47、 to me.DIt also operates as an expression of culture identity.ETherefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.FDo you ever ask yourself why certain foods or cooking traditions are so important to your culture?GAs the world becomes more glo
