A few weeks ago, I picked up my 14-year-old daughter and her friend from dance class. The two girls

chatted happily until I reached her friend's house. And then 1 began the drive home and my daughter, who

had been talking nonstop a minute before, went completely silent. I assumed she was lost in thought.

When I came to a stoplight, I looked in the mirror. My daughter wasn't looking out of the window or

staring into space

—

she was on her phone. I felt my anger rise.

“That can wait.” I was mad and she was angry.

Back home, she disappeared into her room, and I thought about how I was still trying to take control of

my daughter's growing independence, which was fruitless.

The next day I was thinking about my outburst when a parenting program on TV caught my eye, in

which the hosts interviewed Dr. Ken Ginsburg, the author of a famous parenting book. It completely changed

my attitude.

Ginsburg said.

—

it's because they

love us so much and yet they know they have to become independent. So this is a process of figuring out how

to push away the things they love the most. It is crazy to fly from a comfortable nest, so teens get ready for it

by temporarily pushing their parents away.

I need to honor her independence and create space for both of us to face this monumental

developmental challenge as teammates, not adversaries

Over a four-year period, Swiss researchers have developed a machine that can keep human livers

（肝）

alive outside of the body for one week.

Livers are among the most commonly transplanted

（移植）

human organs. Current technology can

only keep human livers alive for up to 24 hours. It is reported that, in 2017, about 8.000 liver transplants were

performed in the U.S., of which 360 used livers from living givers In addition, about 11,500 people were

registered

on

a

waiting

list

to

receive

a

liver

transplant.

Keeping

livers

alive

and

functioning

for

longer

periods could greatly improve the chances of survival for patients.

The researchers say the purpose of their “Liver4Life

ll liver

perfusion

（灌注）

operations outside of the human body. Perfusion is the process by which blood or other

liquids are pumped through organs and tissue. The machine keeps the liver at the right temperature and

moves it in a way that would be natural in the body. Using a pump to fill the liver with blood acting like a

human heart, the machine also provides oxygen to the organ, controls red blood cell levels and removes

waste.

The research team began their experiments with livers from pigs. After repeated testing and

engineering development, they succeeded in getting the pig livers to survive for seven days with support only

provided from the Liver4Life machine. They also discovered the system can work to repair damaged livers.

The team is now planning its next step to transplant machine- treated organs into patients.

Pierre-

Alain Clavien. leader of the research said in a statement. “This technology will greatly increase

the number of livers available for transplant, improving the chances of survival for patients. The success of

this unique machine opens the way for many new applications in transplantation and cancer medicine.

28.

A.

Introduce a brand new topic for discussion.

Provide some latest data about present liver transplants.

C.

Show the urgency of tech improvement in liver transplants.

B.

It is aimed to carry out liver perfusion operations in the human body.

C.

It can perform several functions to keep the liver working normally.

We know them when we see them: The TV shows and movies we love, even though we just know

they're bad. The worthless books we simply can't put down.

Yes, these are our guilty pleasures --- what some people consider the junk food in our media diets. But

if we enjoy them, why should we feel guilty? As it turns out, these so- called

good for us, so long as they're enjoyed in moderation

（适度）

.

According to Robin Nabi. a professor at the University of California, a guilty pleasure is something

that we enjoy, but we know we're either not supposed to like, or that liking it says something negative about

us.

Studies suggest that guilty pleasures can bring back some psychological resources. Besides, giving

ourselves permission to enjoy downtime is also an important part of self- pity, which is an effective way of

fighting anxiety and sadness. Perhaps the most important value of a guilty pleasure is the bond it can create

between people.

If that's true, why do guilty pleasures get such a bad reputation? Actually, it's not the indulgences

（纵

themselves, but the attitudes we take when talking about them.

consumption being instructive, and that what we do should be about growing and achieving, Dr. Nabi said.

human being.”

Feeling guilty about activities we enjoy can diminish the benefits they offer us. But removing

unnecessary embarrassment about our interests can enrich our social lives, which is why it's time to get rid of

from our vocabulary.

While guilty pleasures benefit us in some cases, they can also push us to indulge in behaviors we feel

guilty about. Therefore, it's best to follow the age-old advice our parents taught us: Everything in moderation.

Which of the following might make us feel guilty pleasure?

A.

Eating an entire bag of chips in one sitting.

Telling an old bedtime story.

Staying up late doing your homework.

Giving up seats to the elderly.

They are influenced by their cultural value.
