10.Have you ever heard of a great Chilean poet?He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry.Beloved by Chileans of all classes,he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history.And this year is the 110th birthday of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973).
Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto,he was a tall,shy and lonely boy.He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten.The American poet Walt Whitman,whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table,became a major influence on his work.
However,his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing.To cover up the publication of his first poem,he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.
In 1924Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work"Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair''.Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love.His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America.He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative,destructive and forever moving.He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast."I need the sea because it teaches me,"he wrote."I move in the university of the waves."He loved how the sea forever renewed itself,a renewal echoed (共鸣) in his work.

Within days of my return to Haiti,I was amazed by team after team of doctors and nurses from all over the world who tried their best to help.They quickly set up a triage(分诊台)in the parking lot at the hospital where I had my private practice,Center Hospitalier du Sacre-Coeur(CDTI).More importantly,their support was their deep concern about the pain and sorrow my country men were experiencing.This helped me get through some very long and difficult days.
Another thing showed how the CDTI hospital owners,Dr.Reynold Savain and his wife,responded to the disaster.Without hesitation,they opened the door to the injured without considering how it would affect the future of their hospital.
Their act of kindness and spirit of generosity(慷慨)has had a lasting effect on my life.The cars has made a huge difference to many of the injured.The revovery rate and quality of folliow-up care for those treated have been far beyond my expectations.All of the patients are very grateful.

18.Keeping a pet cat puts owners at a greater risk of going blind,but a dog appears to protect eyesight,a new study suggests.
Scientists have discovered that dogs and cats carry antigens(杭原)which can cause different immune responses(免疫反应)in humans.While the allergen(过敏原)which dogs carry reduces the chance of developing glaucoma(青光眼)一the second leading cause of blindness in the UK---owning a cat nearly doubles the risk of getting the eye disease.
Many pet owners suffer allergic reactions to their pets but still choose to keep them.However,the new study suggests that even a small immune response could lead to blindness.The study by the University of California,Los Angeles,found that cat owners who reacted to their pet allergen had a 90percent increased risk of glaucoma compared with non-pet owners.But dog owners were 20per-cent less likely to get the disease.
Keeping a dog also has the added benefit that owners are outside more which helps to protect against short-sightedness.
"Not only is a dog man's best friend,he may also save your sight,"said British laser eye surgeon Dr David Allamby."Cats could cause our immune system to react in a way that leads eyes to the development of glaucoma.Exposure(接触)to dogs appears to be linked to the opposite ef-feet and could be protective against the disease."
The researchers believe that dogs are healthier for humans because they spend more time out-doors"The protective effect of dogs could be due to their natural antigens in their dead skin,but might also be because they spend more time outdoors and are happy to get dirty,whereas cats are cleaner animals."said Dr Anne Coleman,of University of California,Los Angeles.

A.make pet dogs popular.
B.advise people to abandon their cats.
C.share a new study result.
D.call on pet owners to spend more time outside with their pets

A.Glaucoma is the first leading cause of blindness in the UK.
B.Dogs are healthier for humans because they are man's best friends.
C.Owning a cat nearly has the same risk of getting glaucoma compared with owning a dog.
D.Dog owners are outside more which is good for their eyesight protection.

5."Amazing.""Thrilling!""Feels like swimming.""It was a thing of beauty."
This is how a group of teachers described their recent experience on the Weightless Flights of Discovery sponsored(赞助)by Northrop Grumman.Four MCPS teachers participated in this year's event-Alexia Couch,a technology and foreign language specialist; John Hendrix,a science teacher at Kennedy High School; Kurt Long,a sixth grade math science teacher at Key Middle School,and Pam Pennington,a science teacher at Rocky Hill Middle School.
They were among a group of 29educators around the region who participated in the program,which aims to inspire and prepare the next generation of scientists,mathematicians and engineers of scientists,mathematicians and engineers.
The flights were performed by using a specially designed aircraft.The maneuvers(演习)were conducted in required airspace 100miles long by 10miles wide.Specially trained pilots flew the plane in a series of maneuvers between the altitudes of 24,000and 32,000feet.During the flights,educators conducted a variety of planned experiments,which were filmed and made into pictures and videos that are later shared with students.
It wasn't all scientific experiments,Long says,adding"we also tried to drink water that was floating in the mid air.
"The students were very excited to see pictures and talk about how one day they would be the next astronauts."Long says."With the planned shortage of students entering the science and mathematics fields,if I got even one more student to think about one of the many career opportunities that are present in those fields,my ambition was achieved."
For Couch,who has wanted to be an astronaut since the third grade,the trip was a dream that came come true.She put her weightlessness into words-"You start out lying on the floor and you feel twice as heavy at 2G,and then all of a sudden you feel yourself start to rise up and float.It feels like swimming,but you just have to push a little to move."
Hendrix says his students pay better attention to him if he tells them something from personal experience."They know it's real,"he says.

Off the coast of Hawaii’s Big Island swim masses of colorful tropical fish. Some of these fish will be caught and sold, ending up in aquariums around the world. Is the industry putting populations of the fish at risk?

Scientists who have studied the Big Island fishery say it is well managed. Rules put in place more than 15 years ago have helped to protect the fish. Along 35% of the coastline, for example, fish collecting is banned. Two years ago, the state cut the number of fish species for the aquarium trade from hundreds to just 40.

Conservationist Robert Wintner objects to the findings. Wintner, who owns snorkel shops across Hawaii, started the Snorkel Bob Foundation to protect the island’s coral reefs(珊瑚礁). He says he simply doesn’t see yellow tang(刺尾鱼)in the protected areas. “There should be millions of them,” he says. “Where are they?”

Wintner says people believe the numbers in reports. But few people have actually dived into the coral reefs to see for themselves how many fish can be found there. According to Wintner, the coral reefs along the coast should be filled with yellow tang, but they are “virtually empty”. Empty reefs are not good for tourism, Wintner points out, which brings out $800 million yearly. By contrast, the aquarium-fish trade brings out just $2 million yearly.

Telemedicine is the name for when doctors give advice to patients by telephone or the Internet,or when health care providers in rural areas connect with specialists in big cities.
     Telemedicine has existed for a long time,but the rise of smart phones,tablets and webcam-equipped computers is raising telemedicine to new levels.Some health care systems in the United States now offer Virtual Urgent Care,patients see a doctor by video chat without having to leave home.
Diana Rae is a nurse educator in the western state of Washington.She recently showed how Virtual Urgent Care works.She used an iPad tablet and skype-the video chat service.
    Doctor Green has the patient describe her symptoms,then the doctor performs a physical exam by demonstrating what he wants her to do.Doctor Green decides that the problem is a silence infection.For medicine,he prescribes an antibiotic.He says about 3 out of 4 patients have health problems that can be treated like this-through Virtual Urgent Care,that means a video chat could replace a visit to the doctor's office.
The Franciscan Health System is based in Tacoma,Washington.Franciscan charges $35 for this kind of virtual house call,that is much less than the cost of going to an emergency room,a doctor's office or an urgent care clinic.
      After trying the video conference,Diana Rae says,"I would've paid twice that for the convenience of getting taken care of without having to sit in a waiting room,wait,and get exposed to everyone else's germs."
Franciscan has a deal with a company called Carena to add virtual urgent care by Skype or phone.Carena is one of several companies doing this kind of work around the country.But a company official says state rules have not kept progress with developments in telemedicine.The workers who provide virtual urgent care must be separately licensed in each state where the company does business.For now,that means Carena doctors can treat patients in Washington state and California for example,but not in neighboring Oregon or Idaho.
29.The second paragraph is mainly used to showC.
A.why telemedicine becomes popular 
B.the advantages of telemedicine
C.many factors contribute to telemedicine
D.what telemedicine is
