Before my daughter, Evelyn, was born, I eagerly expected her first year of life. I

imagined celebrating every milestone

---

bonding with her as a newborn, seeing her

smile for the first time, hearing her say her first word. 1 didn't think of feeding tubes,

long hospital stays or an organ transplant(

移植

). For Evelyn, the first year included

all and more.

Evelyn

came

into

this

world

at

just

34

weeks,

weighing

less

than

3

pounds.

Genetic

testing

revealed

she

had

Alagille

syndrome,

a

genetic

disorder

that

can

damage the liver(

肝脏

),heart and other organs. Soon, we received the news that baby

Evelyn

needed

a

liver

transplant,

Our

family

moved

nearer

to

UPMC

Children's

Hospial of Pittsburgh so that we were closer if a liver was available for Evelyn.

When

Evelyn

was

added

to

the

organ

donation

wait

list,

I

was

under

the

liver

allocation

policy

in

place

at

that

time,which

was

map

-

based.

This

policy

lacks

any

special consideration for transplant candidates, We were told it would likely take three

months.

Just

then,

a

new

policy

for

liver

allocation

was

tried

the

new

system, the sickest child patients get first priority(

优先

)

。

The new policy was only in

efect for a litle over a week, But in that period, Evelyn received her liver transplant.

Had it been just one week earler or later, we would not have received the call.

As Evelyn recovers from her transplant, we are grateful for the change. | am also

sad, beeause the new policy was short

-

lived. That means another mom like me might

not receive that phone call with good news.

Other children should have the same opportunity as Evelyn to live healthy, happy

lives. When it comes to liver transplant policy, we can and must do better for children.

24. What probably happened to Evelyn shorly after she was born?

A. She failed to give a smile.

B. She had a serious liver failure.

C. She said her first word quickly.

D. She suffered from a heart attack.

25. Why did the author's family move nearer to the hospital?

A. To save time.

B. To Have money,

C. To see a doctor.

D. To get first priority,

26 What does the author mean by the underlined sentence?

A. Evelyn is healthy now.

B. They waited too long.

C. They were one week earlier.

D. Her daughter is fortunate.

27. What does the author want to express in the last pargraph?

A. We must guarantee kids have healthy livers.

B. Kids should have chances of a liver transplant,

C. The sickest kids should get liver transplants first.

D. The old policy lacks special consideration for kids.

In a new study, researchers analyzed information from more than 18 ,000 people

who provided blood ipants reported whether they exercised regularly

，

and

if

80,

what

type

of

exercises

they

typically

did.

The

researchers

hen

scanned

participants'

blood,

looking

for

genes(

基因

)

that

are

tied

to

an

increased

risk

of

obesity(

肥胖

).

Next,

the

researchers

examined

whether

certain

exercises

seemed

to

balance this risk.

Overall, people who reported doing any type of regular exercises tended to have

a lower BMI(

体重指数

) than those who didn't. This was true even among people who

were

genetically

easy to

become overweight.

But

one exercise stood out as the one

with

the

strongest

anti

-

obesity

effcet:

jogging.

Partitipants

with

obesity

genes

who

jogged tended to have a lower BMI than people with similar genetic risk who did not

jog.

But

for

those

who

loathe

jogging,

fear

not:

Five

other

types

of

exercises

were

also

tied

to

a

lower

BMI

among

individuals

at

risk

for

obesity.

These

included

mountain climbing, balloo dancing and walking. The benefits of these exercises were

the biggest among those with the greatest genetie risk of obesity.

Interestingly,several other types of exercises failed to counteract the genetic risk

of obesity. These included cycling,stretching exercises and swimming. The findings

don't mean that these latter exercises can't help with weight control. It's just that they

didn't seem to counteract the genetic tendency to gain weight.

There

could

be

several

reasons

for

this.

The

researchers

noted

that,

for

the

average Joe or Jane, cylcing and stretching exercises tend to require less energy than

the exercises that were tied to a lower obesity risk. In addition,exercising in water, as

happens with swimming, may increase appetite.

28. What does the undertined word

A. Dislike.

B. Display.

C. Disturb.

D. Discourage.

29. Which exercise has the least effect on balancing obesity genes?

A. Mountain climbing.

B. Ballroom dancing.

C. Running slowly.

D. Riding a bicyele.

30. What does the author indicate in the last pargraph?

A. Swimming doesn't help one lose weight.

B. Diving may make a person eat more food.

C. Average people put less energy into exercises.

D. Stretching exercises will become popular.

31. Which of the ollowing is the best title?

A. Jogging Less Leads to Genetic Obesity

B. Regular Exercises Tend to Lower BMI

C. Whether Exercises Balance Risks of Obesity Genes

D. Genes Are Very lmportant for People's Weight Control

Kar

-

go

is

the

invention

of

the

United

Kingdom

-

based

Academy

of

Robotics,

which describes it as”Europe's first road

-

worthy autonomous delivery vehicle

AI,

this

autonomous

delivery

vehicle

offers

custorners

an

app

---

similar

to

one

used

when

ordering

a

taxi

-

allowing

them

to

choose

when

and

where

their

packages

are

delivered. Cormpanies like Tesla and Amazon have invested heavily in autonomous

vehicles, which have the potential to create a sea of changes in business and society.

Resembling something like a green egg on wheels, Kar

-

go's aim is to reduce the

cost of what's known as the

your online package's journey ,from a local warehouse to your front door. Labor costs,

paying drivers, the cost of fuel and the vehicle costs for maintaining small vehicles all

contribute to

making this the most expensive part of the delivery process. The

first

part

of

the

package's

journey

is

far

cheaper,

with

high

volumes

of

packages

being

transported to and from the same location. However, at the other end, drivers deliver

smaller shipments to several dfferent locations

一

where the recipient may not even

be available to collect.

With the latest AI tchnology, Kar

-

go will deliver goods safely ,sustainably and in

style.

'The

AI

vehicle

uses

special

technology

to

become

an

expert

on

its

own

individual route, learning from past experiences in order to help itself deal with new

future

obstacles(

障碍物

)on

the

road.

Kar

-

go

also

has

its

very

own

internal

sorting

system, allowing the vehicle transport packages in the correct order for delivery.

By

2030

，

the

Society

of

Motor

Manufacturers

and

Traders

predicts

the

autonomous market

could

add $$ 62 billion in

economic growth

in

the UK, creating

more than 420,000 new jobs. Eletric, self

-

driving, economic and capable of working

24/7

，

go promises to reduce the last mile delivery cost by up to 90%

，
