8.A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant.
Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life.Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words,"Good morning.I want to go home."It is the first time a voice box and windpipe(气管)have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted.
Ms.Jensen,52,had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery in 1999.Since then,she has been unable to taste or smell food,could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box.
In October,surgeons at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body.In an 18-hour operation,this was transplanted into Ms.Jensen's throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves.
Professor Martin Birchall from University College London,who was part of the surgery team,said,"We've learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again.It'll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue engineering develops."A voice box transplant might be life changing,but it is not life saving.Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system for the rest of their lives.These drugs can reduce life expectancy,so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures.One of the reasons Ms.Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas(胰腺)transplant four years ago.Professor Peter Belafsky,part of the surgical team,said,"Brenda was an exceptional(例外的)candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated."Anyone who's met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great outlook on life in spite of the many physical challenges she's faced over her lifetime.

9.It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more.But in order to work up the desire to rewrite,it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers'opinions.One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we're often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down.Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.
Different from popular belief,we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas (known as"mentalese"),and writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language.But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry (织锦),writing can only be composed one thread(思路) at a time.Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple.It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics are looking over their shoulder,they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start.Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem.When writing we should have two different minds.At the first stage,we should see every idea,as well as the words we use to express it,as wonderful and worth putting down.It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
33.What do we learn from the text about those famous writers?C
A.They often regret writing poor works
B.Some of them write surprisingly much.
C.Many of them hate reading their own works
D.They are happy to review the publishers'opinions.
34.What do people generally believe about the way human minds work?A
A.People think in words and sentences.
B.Human ideas are translated into symbols
C.People think by connecting threads of ideas.
D.Human thoughts are expressed through pictures.
35.What can we conclude from the text?D
A.Most people believe we think in symbols.
B.Loving our own writing is scientifically reasonable.
C.The writers and critics can never reach an agreement.
D.Thinking and writing are different stages of mind at work.
