阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

  We know, painkillers in a tablet can make your headache go away, and antibiotic from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected.Can medicine come in chicken eggs? A team of scientists from Scotland says “yes.” They've kept some special chickens that lay eggs with disease-treating drugs inside.

  These drugs are made of molecules called proteins.Animals make thousands of proteins-they're the main ingredients(成分)in skin, hair, milk, and meat.Since animals can make proteins easily, they're good animals for making protein drugs.

  Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats that pump out protein drugs in their milk.But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room, and grow faster than these other animals.“Those qualities could make chickens a better choice to become living drug factories.” says Simon Lillico of the Roslin Institute near Edinburgh, Scotland.

  Lillico and a team of researchers changed chickens' DNA-the code that tells cells how to make proteins-so that the birds' cells made two protein drugs.One drug can treat skin cancer, and the other treats a nerve disease called multiple sclerosis.

  The scientists changed the chickens' DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg whites.This protects the chickens' bodies from the drugs' possible harmful effects and makes it easy for scientists to collect the drugs.

  These special chickens can pass on their drug-laying abilities to their chicks.So far, the Scottish researchers have kept five generations of drug-producing chickens.But the scientists need to improve these chickens.The chickens don't make enough drugs to treat people yet.Once the researchers perfect their technique, you might eventually take your medicine from chicken eggs.

     Over the years, the devoted volunteers of Save-A-Landmark have helped to protect dozens of
interesting landmarks. They've kept the World's Largest Rocking Chair, in Mississippi, from wearing out.
They've repaired the National Civil Rights Museum, in Memphis, Tennessee. They've even helped to
restore(整修) the Birthplace of the Ice Cream Sundae, in Two Rivers, Wisconsin.
     Now, ten years later, Save-A-Landmark is celebrating its 10th anniversary(周年纪念日) by saving
President Abraham Lincoln's Cottage, in Washington, D.C. President Lincoln's Cottage is the first
Save-A-Landmark site to be located(位于) in the nation's capital. About 50 volunteers joined in the
event, which took place on September 16.
     One of those volunteers was actor Sam Waterston, of NBC's Law& Order. Waterston has acted
Lincoln on stage and on screen. Even though he has become an expert on the nation's 16th president,
Waterston says he still couldn't believe how amazing Lincoln's Cottage was.
     "This home is truly one of the better kept secrets about the man," Waterston told TFK. "He spent a
quarter of his presidency(1861-1865) here, and he worked on the Emancipation Proclamation here.
Even though it was like a summer home, he did a lot of important work here. It's a great place for kids
to learn more about Lincoln's life."
     Hampton Hotels created Save-A-Landmark in April 2000. Judy Christa-Cathey is a manager for the
hotel chain. She was especially excited about the Lincoln's Cottage project. "I grew up in Illinois, the
Land of Lincoln," she says. In ten years, Save-A-Landmark has restored 54 sites in 45 states. Now
Landmark can add another Landmark to the list: the famous house of one of the country's most popular
presidents.
