Then, one morning, an ad I spotted ____ a person like me, and at an ideal location.

So, carrying my ____ typed CV and covering letter in an envelope on which I had ____ both“To and From” addresses, I ____ a packed train to get to Mumbai's post office. Getting off the train, I ____ the crowd out of the station and on to the street. Suddenly, I noticed, my ____ was missing!

The ____ thing to do was to go home, make a new CV and covering letter and mail it. But losing the envelope was like a bad ____, so I gave up.

Elephants have impressed us for centuries. They are big, clever, and sociable. But what if someone told you that they may also hold the key to fighting cancer?

People have been wondering why elephants do not develop cancer, even though they have life spans(寿命)that are similar to humans, living for around 50 to 70 years.

Now scientists believe they know why. A team at the University of Chicago, Us has found that elephants carry a large number of genes that stop tumors(肿瘤)from developing. To be precise, they found 20 copies of an anti-tumor gene called TP 53 in elephants. Most other species, humans included, only carry one copy.

According to the research, which was recently published on the online science network BioRxiv, the extra copies of the gene improved the animal’s sensitivity to DNA damage. This lets the cells(细胞)quickly kill themselves when damaged before they can form deadly tumors.

“An increased risk of developing cancer has stood in the way of the evolution of large body sizes in many animals,” study author Dr Vincent Lynch told The Guardian. If every living cell has the same chance of becoming cancerous, large creatures with long life spans like whales and elephants should have a greater risk of developing cancer than humans and mice do. But across species, the risk of cancer does not show a connection with body mass.

This phenomenon was found by Oxford University scientist Richard Peto in the 1970s and later named “Peto’s paradox”. Evolutionary biologists believe it results from larger animals using protection that many smaller do not, In the elephant’s case, the making of TP53 is nature’s way of keeping this species alive.

The study also found that when the same genes were brought to life in mice, they had the same cancer resistance as elephants. This means researchers could use the discovery to develop new treatments that can help stop cancers from spreading or even developing in the first place.

“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” said Joshua Schiffman, an oncologist at the School of Medicine, University of Utah, US.

“It’s up to us to learn how different animals tackle(对付)the problem so we can use those strategies to prevent cancer in people.”

1.Why are elephants unlikely to develop cancer?

A. They have a large body size

B. They carry many genes that keep tumors from developing

C. Certain genes in their body kill existing tumors

D. Their genes suffer no DNA damage

2.According to Dr. Vincent Lynch, what has been a risk in the evolution of large animals?

A. Extreme weather B. Cells killing themselves

C. Human behavior D. A risk of deadly tumors

3.What does the underlined expression “this phenomenon” on the sixth paragraph refer to?

A. The risk of cancer is not related to body size

B. Larger animals have protection from TP53

C. Larger animals suffer the same risk of cancer as smaller ones do

D. The larger animals are, the bigger risk of cancer they have

4.We can conclude from the last three paragraphs that .

A. depending on nature is not enough to fight against cancer

B. the TP53 genes have proven useful in stopping cancer in mice

C. this new treatment is more effective than the present ones

D. humans are expected to stop cancer in the near future

Alexis,17,sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car.She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife.Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them."Dad,there's a deer there!" Alexis said.It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.

As the car moved closer,Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground.Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head.Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman.Sue,a 44-year-old mother,had been out for her morning run.The deer followed her and edged closer."I knew I was in trouble," Sue says.She went to pick up a stick for self-defense,and the deer charged.It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air.Sue could feel blood flew down her leg.Within seconds,the deer had pushed her off the road.

When Alexis and her father pulled up,the deer was throwing Sue like a doll.Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes,and before her father had even stopped the car,the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer."I was kicking it to get its attention," she says.Then her father,who had followed his daughter,pushed the deer away from the women.

Alexis helped Sue into the car,and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg."We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said.Then she heard her father shout loudly.He had been knocked to the ground.Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back.She beat the deer's head and neck,but the blows didn't scare it away."I was losing faith," she says."A couple more strikes,Alexis," said her father."You can do it." Turning the hammer around,Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength.When she opened her eyes,the deer was running away.Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.

After Sue was treated,she tearfully thanked her rescuers."You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says,"not to beat up a deer."

A great Loss-Shirley Temple dies at 85

February 12,2014

BY DERRIK J. lANG, Associated Press

Shirley Temple Black, who died on February 10th at age 85,wasn’t just a child star. She was THE child star—the sweet little girl whose shining smile helped illumine some of the darkest days the US has known during the Great Depression.

It’s hard today to imagine the super star Shirley was once “America’s Little Darling”. She sang and danced her way to the top of the box office in such films as Bright Eyes, Curly Top and Heidi. By 1940, she had appeared in 43 films. Temple teamed with Bill Robison in four movies, and their dance on the stairs in The Little Colon is still a legendary film moment.

In the 1930s, her name on a movie introduction assured (保证) a packed house. She inspired dolls, dresses, dishes—even a drink (alcohol-free, of course).

US President Franklin D. Roosevelt once famously said that “as long as our country has Shirley Temple, we will be all right.”

Unlike so many of today’s child stars, Temple didn’t end up with her name appearing across the headlines for bad behaviors. Instead of getting her photos on front pages or struggling with drugs and alcohol, Temple went on to a second career in diplomacy (外交) , including presidential appointments as ambassador to Ghana.

She surprised a lot of people who doubted her with her grace, knowledge and eagerness to serve. In fact, her career in public service (20 years) was longer than her career in movies (19). The role she valued most, however, was as wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother.

The world has lost a treasured Hollywood legend. But her movies will allow that little dynamic figure to continue charming audiences for a very long time.

1.The word “illumine” in Paragraph l means ________.

A. shorten B. sweeten

C. strengthen D. brighten

2.Temple, as a child movie star, can best be described as ________.

A. sweet and lively B. gentle and kind

C. smart and knowledgeable D. shy and attractive

3.What part did she regard as the most important in her life?

A. A top movie star. B. A businesswoman.

C. Her family role. D. Her diplomacy career.

4.Where does this passage possibly come from?

A. A biography. B. A newspaper.

C. A magazine. D. A poster.
