A mother has lost parts of both of her legs after she saved the lives of her two children by lying on top of them as a deadly tornado swept through their home. Stephanie Decker, 36, lost one leg above the knee and the other above the ankle, yet her son and daughter escaped without a single scratch after the tornado destroyed their Henryville, Indiana home.

Henryville was nearly entirely destroyed by a series of tornadoes that hit the South and Midwest, killing 39 and leaving thousands homeless. But while the Decker family lost their dream home to the severe weather, they are celebrating their safety. Mrs. Decker is now in a stable condition; her husband said, “What I told her was, ‘you are alive and you get to see your kids grow up.’ ” Joe Decker told the reporters.

Mr. Decker said that he had sent a text message to his wife from his workplace to tell her a tornado was heading for their three-story home. She rushed their eight-year-old son Dominic and five-year-old daughter Reese into the basement, where she tried her best to protect them from the storm.

Mrs. Decker typed out what had happened by using an iPad in the hospital. She saw part of the house collapse（坍塌）on her and pulled her daughter out of the way. She doesn’t remember anything after that.

The home, which was partly built by Mr. Decker and his wife’s father, is now completely destroyed, with a bathtub 200 feet away in a filed, the Courier Journal reported. The house took about nine mouths to build and four seconds to fall, Mr. Decker added.

CEO Carl J. Tyler praised the Deckers who lost everything and said that the company has set up a trust fund to help pay their medical bills and the losses they suffered. He added, “They are some of the hardest working, giving people you could ever want to meet.”

Darek Fidyka, a 38-year-old Bulgarian, had been paralyzed (瘫痪的) from the chest down for four years after a knife attack. Scientists from Britain and Poland took cells from his nose, transplanted (移植) them into his back and re-grew his spinal cord (脊髓). Now he can walk and even drive a car. The doctors were delighted but said it was the first step in a long journey.

The breakthrough came after 40 years of research by Professor Geoff Raisman, who found that cells had the possibility to repair damage to nasal (鼻腔的) nerves, the only part of the nervous system that constantly re-grows. “The idea was to take something from an area where the nervous system can repair itself and put it into an area that doesn’t repair itself,” Professor Raisman said.

Polish doctors injected (注射) the nasal cells into Mr. Fidyka’s spinal cord above the injury and used some nerves from his ankle to form a bridge across the damaged tissue. The nasal cells appear to have caused the spinal nerves to repair themselves.

Professor Raisman achieved this with rats in the late 1990’s, but this is his greatest success. “I think the moment of discovery for me was Christmas in 1997 when I first saw a rat, which couldn’t control its hand, put its hand over to me. That was an exciting moment, because I realized then that my belief that the nervous system could be repaired was true.”

Doctors chose the easiest case for their first attempt—it might not work for others. But there is real sense of hope that an idea once thought impossible has been realized.

David Nicholls, who helped provide money for the breakthrough, said information about the breakthrough would be made available to researchers across the globe.

“What you’ve got to understand is that for three million paralyzed people in the world today, the world looks a totally brighter place than it did yesterday,” he said.

1.Why did Professor Geoff Raisman choose cells from nose?

A. The nervous system in the nose can repair itself.

B. Cells from the nose can be easily transplanted.

C. The nervous system in the nose has more cells.

D. Cells in the nose are able to re-produce rapidly.

2.How did the operation work for Darek Fidyka?

A. The nervous system in the spinal nerves can repair itself.

B. The nerves from his ankle cured the patient of the injury.

C. The nasal cells re-produced and spread over very quickly.

D. The nasal cells helped the spinal nerves to repair themselves.

3.What made Professor Geoff Raisman begin to believe the nervous system can be repaired?

A. His former study with other people.

B. His operation on a paralyzed patient.

C. His sudden thought about Christmas.

D. His unusual experience with a sick rat.

4.David Nicholls’ words suggest that________.

A. the world will become a better and brighter place

B. paralyzed people of today have the hope recovery

C. the report of the breakthrough will be published soon

D. researchers across the world will carry out the operation

Sometimes ideas do not appear when you are concentrating your attention and mysteriously appear when you are not. Modern science recognizes this as a result of incubating(酝酿) the problem in your subconscious(潜意识), yet can’t account for why it occurs.

When you quit thinking about a subject and decide to forget it, your subconscious mind doesn’t quit working. Your thoughts keep making associations(联想,联系). This is why you’ve experienced suddenly remembering names, getting solutions to problems you’ve forgotten about, and ideas out of the blue when you are relaxing and not thinking about any particular thing.

You may try solving a problem with your subconscious mind by writing a letter to it. Now let go of the problem. Don’t work on it. Forget it. Do something else. This is the incubation stage when much of what goes on occurs outside your focused awareness, in your unconsciousness. Open the letter in two days. The answer might magically pop into your mind.

An advertising agency was under pressure to come up with a marketing campaign. Bert, the creative director, wrote the following letter which he addressed to his subconscious mind.

Secret Expert,

I need to come up with a new marketing program to introduce a new season of television shows. I’m interested in some kind of campaign that will capture the audience’s attention more than one time. Is there something people need that we can advertise on? What kind of products, foods and services should we investigate? I need your idea about a fresh approach to advertising.

Thanks, Bert

Bert mailed the letter to himself and when he read what he had written, he got his brainstorm, which was to advertise on “eggs”. Somehow an association between “foods”, “need” and “fresh approach” inspired the thought of using “fresh eggs to advertise.” He arranged to put the ad for the television shows on eggs — some thirty million.

The consumers look at a single egg at least a few times, when they buy the eggs at the store, when they transfer(转移,传递,转送) them to the refrigerator, and when they crack them open. It’s unlike any other ad medium in the world, because you’re looking at it while you are using it.

1.You remember names though you are not thinking about them because your subconscious mind ________.

A. stops workingB. is still working

C. is full of namesD. improves your memory

2.During the incubation stage, your focused awareness ________.

A. doesn’t work

B. controls your thoughts

C. waits for an answer

D. leads to you being unconscious

3.Which of the following was included in Bert’s letter to his subconscious mind?

A. What he wanted it to do.

B. When he would need its help.

C. What product could be advertised.

D. How the solution could be found.

4.In what way did the ad put on eggs help?

A. It greatly increased the sales of eggs.

B. It helped Bert to get a brainstorm.

C. It made sure that consumers could get fresh eggs.

D. It made the TV shows known to people repeatedly.

Have you ever heard that we humans use only ten percent of our brains? This myth holds 1. certain appeal because if it 2. (be) true, then we could instantly become ten times 3. (intelligent) just by firing up that sleepy majority of the brain!

The idea that we use only a small fraction of the brain dates back to animal experiments in the 19th century. When scientists 4. (stimulate) a specific part of the brain, the animal moved 5. leg or tail. And some scientists assumed that large parts of the brain were simply useless.

Then, in the early 20th century, scientists observed that stimulating certain regions of the brain had no physical effects, which are called the “silent cortex”. Today we know that in humans, much of the “silent cortex” is actually devoted to complex activities 6. language, learning, and imagining.
