For centuries, medical pioneers have refined a variety of methods and medicines to treat sickness, injury, and disability, enabling people to live longer and healthier lives.
“A salamander (a small lizard-like animal) can grow back its leg. Why can't a human do the same?” asked Peruvian-born surgeon Dr. Anthony Atala in a recent interview. The question, a reference to work aiming to grow new limbs for wounded soldiers, captures the inventive spirit of regenerative medicine. This innovative field seeks to provide patients with replacement body parts.
These parts are not made of steel; they are the real things --- living cells, tissue, and even organs.
Regenerative medicine is still mostly experimental, with clinical applications limited to procedures such as growing sheets of skin on burns and wounds. One of its most significant
advances took place in 1999, when a research group at North Carolina’s Wake Forest Institu te for Regenerative Medicine conducted a successful organ replacement with a laboratory-grown bladder. Since then, the team, led by Dr. Atala, has continued to generate a variety of other tissues and organs—from kidneys to ears.
The field of regenerative medicine builds on work conducted in the early twentieth century with the first successful transplants of donated human soft tissue and bone. However, donor organs are not always the best option. First of all, they are in short supply, and many people die while waiting for an available organ; in the United States alone, more than 100,000 people are waiting for organ transplants. Secondly, a patient’s body may ultimately reject the transplanted donor organ. An advantage of regenerative medicine is that the ti ssues are grown from a patient’s own cells and will not be rejected by the body’s immune system.
Today, several labs are working to create bio-artificial body parts. Scientists at Columbia and Yale Universities have grown a jawbone and a lung. At the University of Minnesota, Doris Taylor has created a beating bio-artificial rat heart. Dr. Atala’s medical team has reported long-term success with bioengineered bladders implanted into young patients with spina bifida (脊柱裂). And at the University of Michigan, H. David Humes has created an artificial kidney.
So far, the kidney procedure has only been used successfully with sheep, but there is hope that one day similar kidney will be implantable in a human patient. The continuing research of scientists such as these may eventually make donor organs unnecessary and, as a result, significantly increase individuals’ chances of survival.
25.What have scientists experimented successfully on for a bio-artificial kidney?
A.Patients
B. Rats
C. Sheep
D. Soldiers
26.Why is generative medicine considered innovative?
A.It will provide patients with replacement soft tissues.
B.It will strengthen the human body’s immune system.
C.It will shorten the time patients waiting for a donated organ.
D.It will make patients live longer with bio-artificial organs.
27.What is the writer’s attitude towards regenerative medicine？
A.Positive.
B. Negative.
C. Doubtful.
D. Reserved.
C
However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely(即), what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from
home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative（可供选择的）use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.
For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do pr ecisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money.” People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time.” The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.
28.According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to .
A.making more money
B. taking more opportunities
C. reducing missed opportunities
D. weighing the choice of opportunities
29."the leftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time .
A.spared for watching the match at home
B. taken to have dinner with friends
C. spent on the way to and from the match
D. saved from not going to watch the match
30.What are forgone opportunities?
A.Opportunities you forget in decision-making.
B. Opportunities you give up for better ones.
C. Opportunities you miss accidentally.
D. Opportunities you make up for.

For parents the most stressful years in parenting are perhaps the time when their kids turn into teenagers. Some parents have a strong belief that a strict approach to parenting the kids is a must. Others believe that it is best to give teenagers a free hand. 31 The best way to parent teens is to use a mix of both. Read below for more tips on parenting teens.
Encourage discussion.
Make use of the problem areas in your teen’s development as an opportunity to teach him or her tricks of good decision-making. 32. The only way in which you can do so is treat your
kid as an adult. That is why it is very important to discuss the matter with your teen as you do with
any other adult.
Follow rules.
If you have set rules for your teen to follow, then make sure you are strict in them. A teen who knows that there are certain rules that cannot be overlooked will make an effort to follow them. 33.
Award your teenager when he or she follows the rules, but don’t forget to punish him
or her each time a rule is broken.
Do not ignore your teenager's unfriendly attitude or regard it as normal teen behavior. If you
ignore this at the start, then you will have to face all the more difficult situations later. Mind signs which can point towards such behavior as sleeping late, missing classes, etc. 34. Be observant(善于观察的), but don’t let it become obvious.
Help set goals.
Parents often make the mistake of setting unreasonable goals for their teens. The expectations
you have should be dependent on the abilities of your kids. Never shout at them if they fall short of
their goals. 35.
Only then they are able to reach their goals next time.
A.Parents should enjoy some sports with their kids.
B.This will turn him or her into a responsible adult.
C.Both these approaches are, however, right and wrong.
D.If you see any such sign, talk to him or her without overreacting.
E.Instead, encourage them and help them to find their faults and weaknesses.
F.However, the teen will not act this way if you are not firm about the whole thing.
G.Parents should recognize that teen years are the time when kids want more personal space.

阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60 词左右的内容概要。

Small talk, chitchat, these are the short conversations we have at parties, while we wait in line at the store, at family events or work. Sometimes we make small talk with people we already know but not well. Often, we have to make small talk with complete strangers. Many people find such small talk about random topics difficult. Some people say they hate it. Others say small talk is a waste of time. They may even call it idle chitchat or idle chatter, meaning it doesn't do anything. They consider small talk not important. However, small talk is important.
Small talk also gives you the chance to decide if you want to get to know that person better or not. Let's say you make small talk with someone at a party. But they only want to talk about cats. You may not want to build a friendship with them unless you really, really love cats.
Chitchat can also increase your feeling of understanding or empathy toward people you know but not well. Chatting with colleagues about their children may help you to understand more of their life outside the office. This could help build healthy work relationships.
Small talk could even help your larger communities your relationships with neighbors. Exchanging a recipe with neighbor in your apartment building may make her noises upstairs easier to
live with.
In 2011, most commuters in the city of Chicago said they would enjoy "quiet cars" where they sat alone and did not talk to anybody. Researchers at the University of Chicago then asked some participants in a study to talk to people while commuting to work on a train. They found that those who made small talk with strangers were happier than those who sat alone.

Here, we have Washington Square Park, which is one of the most famous New York City public parks. It has played a central role in every major cultural movement in New York City for the last 100 years. As you can see, it is located between 6th St. and 4th St. in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. The park covers eight city blocks, or just under ten acres. Surrounding the park on all sides is New York University; those brick buildings covered in dark green plants have been around since 1871, when the park first opened. Many of those buildings used to serve as homes and studios for artists, and the benches in the park are popular places for painters, poets, dancers, and singers to get together. The park’s fountain area has long been one of the city’s most popular spots for residents and tourists, and children love to skate and play games around the fountain. There are two special areas for dogs to run around, and during the hot summer months, many food and drink stands are set up inside the park. One of Washington Square Park’s most recognizable features is the Washington Arch, which was built in 1889. It was modeled after the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, which was built in 1806.。
