7．Researchers in China and the United States have developed a new cataract（白内障）treatment with cells that has restored vision in babies in a trial and may eventually be used in adults．
The treatment-by doctors and staff members at the University of California，San Diego School of Medicine and Sichuan and Sun Yat-sen universities in China-was published in March 9edition of the scientific journal Nature．
A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens（晶体）of an eye．Typical cataract operation involves the removal of the cloudy lens and the insertion of an artificial one．The new operation has been tested in animals and during a small，human trial．It resulted in fewer complications（并发症）than the current harmful operation，and in regrown lenses with superior visual function in all 12of the baby cataract patients who received the procedure．
A congenital cataract-lens clouding that occurs at birth or shortly after-is important cause of blindness in children．In the new research，Kand Zhang，head of ophthalmic genetics at US San Diego's Shiley Eye Institute，and his colleagues relied on the regrown potential of endogenous（同源的）stem cells．
According to Zhang，endogenous stem cells are different from other stem cells that are typically grown in a laboratory，transplanted into a patient，and can have risks of immune（免疫的）rejection，infection or cancers．Zhang told CBS News，"We invented a new operation to make a very small opening at the side of a cataractous lens bag，remove the cataract inside，allow the opening to heal，and promote potential lens stem cells to regrow an entirely new lens with vision．"
The human trial involved 12 babies under the age of 2 who were treated with the new method，while 25 babies received thee standard operation care..The latter group experienced a higher incidence of pos-operation danger，early-onset eye high blood pressure and increased lens clouding．The scientists reported fewer complications and faster healing among the 12 babies who has the new procedure．

8．Max Vernon Mathews has been called the father of computer music．He created electronic tools so that people could use computers as musical instruments．He had a huge influence on the development of electronic music and how it is written，recorded and played．
In 1957，Max Mathews wrote the first computer program that enabled a computer to create sound and play it back．At the time，he was working as an engineer at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey．His computer program was called Music．It enabled a large IBM computer to play a seventeen-second piece of music that he had written．
The computer was so slow that it would have taken an hour to play the piece of music in seventeen seconds．For that reason，Mathews moved the work to a tape player，which could be sped up to play the music at a normal speed．He later said that the sound quality of the musical notes was not great，but the technical importance of the music was huge．
The science fiction writer Arthur C．Clarke visited Bell Laboratories in the 1960s．He heard a computer"sing"the song"Daisy Bell"on devices and programs developed by Max Mathews and other engineers．Clarke noted this technology in his book"2001：A Space Odyssey，"which was later made into a movie．
Mathews continued creating other versions of the Music program．He became interested in how computers could help musicians outside recording studios．
Max Mathews had a long and productive career．He worked with composers like John Cage and Edgard Varese．He helped create a center for research in computer music in Paris．And he taught at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics in Stanford University in California．
Mathews believed modern musicians were not making full use of the power of computer music．He said a violin always sounds like a violin，but with a computer，the way a violin sounds is unlimited．He said he did not want computer sounds to replace live music．But he said he hoped laptop computers would one day be considered serious instruments．

66．How did the program Music work according to the computer？B

B．It made sound and play it on a computer．

5．Look no further than Airbnb．Started in 2007，the website enables anyone，anywhere in the world，t list spare space on the website and rent it out like a hotel．It operates in over 19，000cities and in almost 200countries，and is now so popular that an Airbnb room is booked every two seconds．
This and other similar projects are testament to the growing popularity of"collaborative consumption"---sharing，swapping and renting your possessions．
This even extends to financial services and investing．For example，"peer-to-peer lending"is the now well-established practice of lending money to individuals or businesses through online services that match lenders directly with borrowers，enabling both parties to circumvent traditional providers such as banks．
These"peer-to-peer lending companies operate almost entirely online，and so can provide services more cheaply than traditional financial institutions．As a result，those investing can often earn higher returns compared to those offered by the banks，while the borrowers can in turn borrow money at lower interest rates．
Peer-to-peer lending doesn't fit cleanly into any of the three traditional types of financial institution-deposit taking，investment or insurance-and is sometimes categorized as"alternative finance"．There are many types of peer-to-peer lending in operation around the world．Many peer-to-peer loans are unsecured personal loans made to consumers，although some peer-to-peer platforms，such as Wellesley &Co，specialize in making secured loans to businesses and using physical assets as security for those loans，thereby minimizing the risk while keeping high returnsof up to 5.8% per year．
By the end of 2015，UK peer-to-peer lenders had collectively lent almost￡4.5bn to consumers and businesses．If you are losing interest in you savings，why not do something more interesting with your money-The Wellesley Way!

B．It is still in the experimental stage．
C．It's a traditional type of financial institution．
D．It's a win-win choice for both sides involved．
31．How does the autho introduce Wellesley &Co in paragraph 5？B
