     BEIJING-Pharmacologist Tu Youyou has become the first scientist on the mainland to win America's
respected Lasker Award for her discovery of a new approach to malaria (疟疾) treatment.
     The 81yearold was presented with the medical prize by the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on
September 23, 2011 in New York.
     Tu, a scientist at the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in Beijing, was praised by the jury (评判委员会) for her "drug therapy (治疗) for malaria that has saved millions of lives across the globe,
especially in the developing world," according to a statement on the foundation's website.
     In early 1969, Tu was appointed head of a government project that aimed to eradicate(消灭) malaria, and it was then that she began applying modern techniques with Chinese traditional medicine to find drug
therapy for malaria.
     After detecting (检测) 380 extracts ( 提取物) made from 2,000 candidate recipes, Tu and her
colleagues obtained a pure substance called "Qinghaosu", which became known as artemisinin in 1972.
An artemisininbased drug combination is now the standard regimen (养生法) for malaria, and the World
Health Organization lists artemisinin and related agents in its catalog of "Essential Medicines", said a
statement from the foundation.
     The Lasker Awards are given annually to people who have made major advances in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of human diseases since 1945.
     Lasker Awards are known as "America's Nobels" for their knack (熟练技术) of gaining future
recognition by the Nobel committee. In the last two decades, 28 Lasker laureates (得奖者) have gone
on to receive the Nobel Prize, and 80 since 1945.

John Davis doesn’t use his GPS system in his car. Instead of guiding the direction, the Delaware farmer uses it to determine where and how much fertilizer to use on the crops on his 4,000-acre family-owned farm. Technological advances like that last year helped Davis and other Ohio farmers set a record for corn product. Ohio's corn crop in 2009 totaled 546 million bushels(蒲式耳), despite a cooler and wetter than normal spring, a dry summer and a delayed, wet harvest. Davis said. “I knew it would be a good crop, but it was much better than we expected.”

A farmer can map his fields on GPS, spotting where soil turned out to be least fertile（肥沃的） and using more fertilizer the next year in those areas where corn didn’t grow as well.

Although Ohio farmers produced more corn, it was grown on less land than in past years. Total area used for corn in Ohio was 3.35 million acres, about the same as in 2008 but down from 3.85 million acres in 2007, said Dwayne Siekman, director of the Ohio Corn Growers Association. “When you look at the total number of acres in Ohio used for corn, it’s clear that farmers are able to do more with less,” he said. “American farmers can grow five times more corn on 20 percent less land than they did in the 1930s, saying that modern farming techniques are necessary for a growing demand in the world today.” That technology includes using improved seeds that can withstand(忍受) greater temperature extremes and pests, Siekman said.

Farmers aren't the only ones who benefit. Consumers(消费者) do, too, as food costs reduce in the face of “enough supplies of corn,” said Fred Yoder, who runs a 1,500-acre corn, soybean and wheat farm in Plain City. “This is the best, highest-producing corn crop that I've raised in 30 years,” he said.

1. Most people usually use the GPS system for ______.

A. driving their cars B. telling the position C. mending the car D. supplying the sunshine

2. The farmers in Ohio use GPS to ______.

A. check if the soil is fertile in some areas B. control the rain of the place

C. water the crops if the weather is dry D. draw the map of all the crops

3. Why did Ohio farmers produce more corn?

A. Because they expanded more land to grow corn

B. Because they turned to technological advances

C. Because they used more and more fertilizer.

D. Because they supplies themselves with more money.

4. From the passage, we can know _____.

A. John Davis hadn’t expected a good harvest.

B. farmers grew less land than in the 1930s

C. improved seeds cost much more money

D. the output of corn in the same field is increased.

WASHINGTON(Reuters)-People who drink two or more sweetened soft drinks a week have a much higher risk of pancreatic cancer(胰腺癌)，an unusual but deadly cancer，researchers reported on Monday．

People who drank mostly fruit juice instead of sodas did not have the same risk，the study

of 60,000 people in Singapore found．

Sugar may be to blame but people who drink sweetened sodas regularly often have other

poor health habits，said Mark Pereira of the University of Minnesota，who led the study．

“The high levels of sugar in soft drinks may be increasing the level of insulin(胰岛素)in The body,which we think contributes to pancreatic cancer cell growth,”Pereira said in a statement．

Writing in the joumal Cancer Epidemiology，Biomarkers & Prevention，Pereira and colleagues

said they followed 60,524 men and women in the Singapore Chinese Health Study for l4 years．

Over that time，140 of the volunteers developed pancreatic cancer．Those who drank two or

more sweetened soft drinks a week had an 87 percent higher risk of being among those who got

pancreatic cancer．

Pereira said he believed the fndings would apply elsewhere。

“Singapore is a wcahhy country with excellent heahhcare．Favorite pastimes(消遣)are

eating and shopping，so the findings should apply to other western countries，”he said．

But Susan Mayne of the Yale Cancer Center at Yale University in Connecticut was cautious．

“Although this study found a risk，the finding was based on a relatively small number of

cases and it remains unclear whether it is a causal(因果的)connection or not。”said Mayne．

who serves on the board of the journal，which is published by the American Association for

Cancer Research．

Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest forms of cancer，with 230,000 cases globally．In

the United States，37,680 people are diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in a year and 34,290 die

of it．

Young adult filmmakers all hope to show their works in international festivals like Sundance and Toronto. But what about really young filmmakers who aren’t in film school yet and aren’t, strictly speaking, even adults?

They are at the heart of Wingspan Arts Kids Films Festival, tomorrow, in a setting any director might envy: Lincoln Center. Complete with “red carpet” interviews and various awards, the festival has much in common with events for more experienced moviemakers, except for the age of the participants: about 8 to 18.

“What’s really exciting is that it’s film for kids by kids,” said Cori Gardner, managing director of Wingspan Arts, a nonprofit organization offering youth arts programs in the New York area. This year the festival will include films not only from Wingspan but also from other city organizations and one from a middle school in Arlington, Virginia. “We want to make this a national event,” Ms. Gardner added.

The nine shorts to be shown range from a Claymation biography of B.B. King to a science fiction adventure set in the year 3005. “A lot of the material is really mature,” Ms. Gardner said, talking about films by the New York City branch of Global Action Project, a media arts and leadership-training group. “The Choice is about the history of a family and Master Anti-Smoker is about the dangers of secondhand smoke.” Dream of the Invisibles describes young immigrants’ feelings of both belonging and not belonging in their adopted country.

The festival will end with an open reception at which other films will be shown. These include a music video and full-length film whose title is Pressures.

1. Wingspan Arts Kids Film Festival ____.

A. is organized by a middle school

B. is as famous as the Toronto Festival

C. shows films made by children

D. offers awards to film school students

2. Which of the following is true of Wingspan Arts?

A. It helps young filmmakers to make money.

B. It provides arts projects for young people.

C. It’s a media arts and leadership-training group.

D. It’s a national organization for young people.

3. The underlined word “shorts” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.

A. short trousers B. short kids C. short films D. short stories
