【题目】 The candles we make at Wax Buffalo are imperfect-"beautifully imperfect'as we like to say. one is unique, hand-poured (手工灌注的)with pure soy wax (大豆蜡). It's a small business 1 started, and everyone who enjoy, working here comes into the studio in free time, so they can be home with their family, cats, dogs at prime times.

I first fell in love with candles on visits to my grandmother Feme's house in Lincoln. At night, candlelight flashed off the book-lined walls. During the day, she'd take me to a cafe in the historic Haymarket district and we'd drink tea out of china cups.

I poured my first candle at the age of 14, using the candle-making tool that Feme had given me. I gave the finished product to my grandmother for Christmas. She loved that candle I'd made for her. That first candle was imperfect. Beautifully imperfect

Then in 2014. life took a dark turn for my grandmother. The breast cancer took away her life. I found myself thinking about the candle-making tool she had given me as a 14-year-old kid and the joy it had brought me. I began pouring candles again, making them for friends. Because of kids' health. I'd become especially interested in natural products. I used locally sourced soy wax. Was there a way I could make candles for people beyond my group of friends? And so, Christmas of that year, Wax Buffalo was launched. Little by little, the business grew as we found more people who wanted our candles. Now our candles are sold in more than 60 shops across the country.

Isn't life wonderful? Indeed, it is beautifully imperfect. But it hasn't turned out at all how I'd have predicted. I think that's what Ferne wanted me to understand. To trust the light of hope, to enjoy fun in its light, to know that it can transform a person from within.

A.Relaxing task.B.High payment

C.Flexible timeD.Imperfect conditions.

2When did the author probably start her business

A.After she turned 14.

3Why did the author use soy wax?

A.To make harmless candlesB.To make candles look better.

C.To save the cost of production.D.To improve the figures of candles

【题目】 Scientists don’t know yet whether cell phones are bad for the brain.1

In the experiment, the 47 participants may have looked a little strange. Each of them had two Samsung cell phones tied to his or her head—one on each ear.2 The phone on the right ear played a message for 50 minutes, but the participants couldn’t hear it because the sound was off. After 50 minutes with two phone attached to their heads, the participants were given PET scans. The PET scan is a way to take a three-dimensional picture of how the inside of the bodyworks.

The PET scan showed that the left side of each participant’s brain hadn’t changed from the way it was before the experiment.3 These right-side brain cells were using almost as much glucose as the brain uses when a person is talking. This suggests that brain cells there were active even without the person hearing or talking anything. This activity, the scientists say, was probably touched off by radiation from the phone.

4 They release different amounts of radiation depending on whether a person is talking or listening, the type of phone, the number of people using phones nearby, and the distance to the nearest cell phone tower. All of these changes make it difficult to collect evidence about any health risks of cell phones, since exposure to radiation can vary.

So for those who don’t want to wait to find out for sure whether cell phones are bad for the brain, there are ways to talk more safely.5

A.The phone on the left ear was off.

B.So an experiment was done to attempt to find it out.

C.People should avoid having a long conversation by using cell phones.

D.Cell phones do not always give out the same amount of energy.

E.You can have short conversations, use a speakerphone to keep the phone away from your head.

F.The right side of the brain, however, had used more glucose, which provided fuel to brain cells.

G.From the PET scan the differences between the two sides of the brain were observed.
