 When the dirty cat showed up in the prison yard,I was one of the first to go out there and pet it. I hadn't 1      a cat or a dog for over 20 years. It was amazing to feel him under my 2     and know that I was enriching the life of another 3      with something as simple as my care. I believe that 4      something or someone in need is what makes us human.

  Over the next few days,a group of prisoners always gathered in the 5        They stood around talking and taking 6     in petting the cat. These were guys you wouldn't usually find 7     to each other. Bowls of milk and water 8     ,along with bread. One prisoner brought out his small scissors and helped to 9     the animal's fur. People said, "That cat has come to the 10        place. He's getting 11        like a king. " This was true. But as I watched-,I was also 12        what the cat was doing for us.

  Instead of more programmes,more psychologists or treatment, what we 13        need is a chance to practise kindness ourselves. Not 14        it,but give it.

  Kindness is not a value that is encouraged here. It is often seen as weak?ness. Instead,the culture here 15        keeping your head down,minding your own business and never letting yourself be 16     

  However,a dirty cat disrupted (扰乱) this code of prison 17      . It did my heart good to see the 18        he had on me and the men here. He didn't have a PhD and he wasn't a psychologist,19        by simply saying, "I need some help here", he did something 20        to us. He needed us,and we need to be needed. I believe we all do.

   Harvard researchers have created a tough,low-cost,biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's in?ventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative to plastic. The material,made from shrimp (奸) shells and proteins produced from silk,is called "shrilk". It is thin,clear,flexible and strong.

  A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later,however,plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how appropriate it is for one-time products such as plastic bags,or short-lived consumer goods,used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?

  Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill,but its basic components are used as fertlilizer (肥料) ,and so will enrich the soil.

  "Shrilk has great potential," the inventors said. Materials from which it is made are plentiful in nature,found in everything ranging from shrimp shells,insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low-cost,and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.

  Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet,so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environ?ments. They're also developing simpler production processes,which could be used for non-medical products,like for computer cases and other products in?side the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials,like carbon fibers,to give it new properties.

1. Paragraph 1 of the passage is mainly about shrilk's        .

   A. remarkable design   B. interesting name

   C. major features   D. basic elements

2. What has become a concern about plastic?

   A. Using it properly.

   B. Producing it cheaply.

   C. Developing its properties quickly.

   D. Evaluating its contributions fairly.

3. According to the inventors,shrilk has great potential partly because       .

   A. it can help plastic degrade

   B. it can be found in living things

   C. its mass production has been realized

   D. its raw materials are abundant in nature

4. What are the inventors doing in the lab?

   A. Replacing carbon fibers with shrilk.

   B. Testing shrilk's use in wet conditions.

   C. Making shrilk out of used household goods.

   D. Improving shrilk's flexibility for medical purposes.

5. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

   A. Recent progress in environmental protection

   B. Benefits of insects in scientific research

   C. The harm of one-time products

   D. A possible alternative to plastic
