The American book Who Moved My Cheese has bee a bestseller all over the world. It teaches people how to face changes in their lives. Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too many students.

Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two “little people” and some cheese.

The four are in amaze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can’t change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can’t do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese

After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself.

The little wild bird 6 walked down my husband’s arm to his hand. My husband was

7 a small bowl of peanuts. He loves to eat peanuts. But, now it looked like he was going to have to 8 his treat. The chickadee looked back at him, as if to say, “ 9 I have one, or two, please?” When my husband did not make any 10 , the chickadee carefully reached into the bowl and picked out a peanut. When he 11 away with his booty(战利品), I laughed out loud. I was 12 to have witnessed this adventure! Three or four more times that afternoon the little Chickadee 13 to my husband’s shoulder and made his way to the bowl of peanuts, his temporary bird feeder. This little 14 has been a topic of conversation in our family ever since.

A woman suffering from cancer during pregnancy can pass the disease on to her unborn child, scientists have shown in a study that solves a puzzle that has confused doctors for a century.

The rare occurrence of a mother and child appearing to share the same cancer---of which there have been about 30 known cases---is a result of genetic mutation (基因突变) that allows the cancer to pass to the baby unnoticed.

There was previously no genetic evidence to explain why a child’s immune system would not recognize and destroy any invasive cancer cells that were of maternal---and therefore, foreign origin.

The new study, led by Mel Greaves, of the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, used advanced genetic fingerprinting to prove that infant’s leukaemic cells (白血病细胞) were unquestionably of maternal origin.

The case, involving a Japanese mother aged 28 and her daughter, showed that both patients’ leulaemic cells carried the identical transformed cancer gene BCR-ABL even though the infant had not inherited (遗传的) this gene.

This meant that the child, who had cancer diagnosed at 11 months, old, could not have developed this type of leukaemia in isolation.

To investigate how the cells could have crossed the placental barrier (胎盘膜) and survived in the offspring (后代), the scientists looked for evidence of some form of immunological (免疫学的) acceptance of tolerance of the foreign cells by the foetus (胎儿).

Professor Greaves, who worked with colleagues in Japan with funding from Leukaemia Reasearch, said that it had bee assumed that cancer spread was impossible because of the placenta’s role in preserving materno-foetal (母体-胎儿) health.

61. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. An Unborn child can be infected by the mother with cancer.

63. What was used to prove the infant’s leukeaemic cells were from the mother?

A. genetic mutation B. placental barrier

C. immune system D. genetic fingerprinting

64. What does the underlined phrase “in isolation” mean in the 6 paragraph?

A. in a hurry B. in no way C. on purpose D. on its own

65. What can we infer from the passage?

B. Earlier theories supposed cancer couldn’t go across placenta.

C. Scientists have got evidence for some diseases.

D. Professor Greaves gets money from the government.
