Heman Bekele, a 14-year-old ninth grader from Annandale, Virginia, has been named “America's top young scientist” after developing a bar of soap (肥皂) that could be useful in the treatment of melanoma（黑色素瘤) .
“Treating cancer, one bar of soap at a time, ” he said. “I have always been interested in biology and technology, and this challenge gave me the perfect platform to show my ideas. ” He presented his idea for a soap—the “skin cancer treating soap”—made from compounds（化合物）that could reactivate dendritic cells（树突细胞）that protect human skin, enabling them to fight cancer cells. In a video to the 3M Young Scientist Challenge, Bekele said “he believed that young minds can make a positive impact on the world”.
Bekele’s idea came from living in Ethiopia to the age of four where, he told The Washington Post, he had seen people keep working under the hot sun: “I wanted to make my idea something that not only was great in terms of science but also could be accessible (可用的）to as many people as possible.”
His teacher at 3M, Deborah Isabelle, described the teen as “focused on making the world a better place for people who he hasn't even met yet”.
According to the American Cancer Society (ACS) , skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, with melanoma taking up only 1% but causing the majority of skin cancer deaths. The society says the rates (率) of melanoma have been rising rapidly over past years, particularly among women over 50, and it is more than 20 times more common in white people than in black people. At the same time, the death rates for melanoma have gone down in the last ten years due to better treatments.
After winning the award, Bekele said he hoped to turn the soap into a “symbol of hope, accessibility and a world where skin cancer treatment is within reach of all”.
56. From which paragraph can we learn how the soap works to treat melanoma?
A．Paragraph 1. B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3. D．Paragraph 4. 57. What inspired Heman Bekele to develop the soap?
A．His strong interest in technology.
B．His personal experience in Ethiopia.
C．His desire to win the 3M Young Scientist Challenge.
D．His concerns about the rising rates of melanoma in the US.
58. What do we know about melanoma according to the ACS?
A．It is the most common type of cancer.
B．It has led to thousands of deaths over the past ten years.
C．It makes up 1% of all skin cancer cases.
D．It is more common in Black people than in white people.
59. How does Heman Bekele view the future of his soap?
A．It will be widely recognized soon.
B．It will change the skincare industry.
C．It will need further study on its effectiveness.
D．It will make skin cancer treatment more accessible.
60. Which of the following can best describe Heman Bekele?
A．Creative and caring. B．Helpful and humorous.
C．Hard-working and honest. D．Strong-willed and serious.
It is well known that the Japanese people’s love of fish is almost as strong as a bee’s interest in honey. As fish populations were becoming smaller and smaller, fishing companies were forced to fish further and further away from the shore. Then they had a big challenge — how to keep the fish fresh for longer. So they decided to keep the fish stored in freezers on the boats. But the public did not like frozen fish. So again the fishing companies had a new bigger challenge. What they decided to do was to have fish tanks on their boats. After catching fishes, they would put them in the tanks and keep them living there until they got back to shore. But in this protected environment, lacking predators (掠食者), the fish stopped moving around. The Japanese public felt these dull fish did not taste fresh, which had an unpleasant effect upon sales. Once again the fishing companies had an even bigger challenge …
Stop for a minute! Before we go any further, I would like to ask “What are your challenges? How do you handl e an unexpected challenge? ” May I think it this way that you should try to attack your challenges? Conquer(征服) them with a Swiss Army knife. Take the most proper and simple tool that you can adopt to deal with your situation.
Now back to our story. How did the Japanese finally solve the fresh fish problem? Sharks! You might think the same. Sharks were caught and put into the tanks with other fishes. Don’t sharks eat fish? Well, they do eat a few fish, but they did also keep more fish active and alert (警觉的). The fish stay fresh because they are challenged.
Now, try to keep yourself fresh by finding your own shark to offer yourself a challenge in your own business and career.
61. The main reason for the fishing company to fish in the far sea is that .
A．the number of fishes near the shore was reducing
B．the fishes farther away from the sea tasted fresher
C．people would prefer eating fresh fishes to less fresh ones
D．it was getting harder and harder to keep fishes fresh
62. Which was the best way for the fishing company to keep fishes fresh?
A．Getting the fishes frozen. B．Storing the fishes with salt.
C．Putting the fishes in tanks. D．Keeping the fishes with sharks.
63. The relationship between fishes and sharks is similar to that between in nature.
A．dogs and cats B．monkeys and mosquitoes
C．wolves and sheep D．tigers and lions
64. The underlined part of the last paragraph means “.”
A．If you went fishing, you might do as the fishing companies did
B．Try to find a big shark, and you will meet your challenge
C．To succeed in life, you should always be ready to meet challenges
D．Sharks are usually compared to the challenges in people’s life
65. The purpose for the author to write the passage is to .
A．tell the readers how the Japanese fishing companies work
B．suggest readers looking for challenges to make progress
C．tell the readers how the Japanese keep the fish fresh
D．suggest readers finding a shark to keep the fish fresh

Daniella Hudson grew up in a very creative family. “Mum and Dad made all our furniture,” she said. “Not because we couldn't afford it: they just liked making things.
When Daniella visited a design exhibition with her class at the age of ten, she realised she wanted to follow her parents’ example. Since that day, she’s been making furniture. “I’ve learnt by helping Mum and Dad, and through watching videos online.
Her first piece was a table, made soon after visiting the exhibition, and similar to one she’d seen there. “They had furniture from the last hundred years, and I copied a 1920s design.” said Daniella. “Unluckily, no one has wanted tables like that. But I was very chuffed because of the good quality of my table.”
Daniella started selling her furniture at a local market. “This gave me the chance to find out what
pe ople thought about my designs. But finally, I had to give up because the market closed down,” said Daniella. “After that, I started an internet business and it was doing so well.”
Recently, Daniella was asked to take part in a local design show. “One of th e organisers had bought one of my pieces off the internet. I couldn't believe it when she told me there'd be a thousand visitors.” she said. “I had little idea what visitors would think about it. My furniture is quite different—mine is more traditional,” D aniella said. But Daniella received lots of orders at the show and the future is looking bright for this young design star.
