10.Unlike chemists and physicists,who usually do their experiments using machines,biologists and medical researchers have to use living things like rats.But there are three Nobel prize-winning scientists who actually chose to experiment on themselves-all in the name of science,reported The Telegraph.
1.Werner Forssmann (Nobel prize winner in 1956)
Forssmann was a German scientist.He studied how to put a pipe inside the heart to measure the pressure inside and decide whether a patient needs surgery.
Experiments had been done on horses before,so he wanted to try with human patients.But it was not permitted because the experiment was considered too dangerous.
Not giving up,Forssmann decided to experiment on himself.He anaesthetized (麻醉) his own arm and made a cut,putting the pipe 30centimeters into his vein (静脉).He then climbed two floors to the X-ray room before pushing the pipe all the way into his heart.
2.Barry Marshall (Nobel prize winner in 2005)
Most doctors in the mid-20th century believed that gastritis was down to stress,spicy food or an unusually large amount of stomach acid.But in 1979an Australian scientist named Robin Warren found that the disease might be related to a bacteria (细菌) called Helicobacter pylori.
So he teamed up with his colleague,Barry Marshall,to continue the study.When their request to experiment on patients was denied,Marshall bravely drank some of the bacteria.Five days later,he lost his appetite and soon was vomiting each morning-he indeed had gastritis.
3.Ralph Steinman (Nobel prize winner in 2011)
This Canadian scientist discovered a new type of immune system cell called the dendritic cell.He believed that it had the ability to fight against cancer.
Steinman knew he couldn't yet use his method to treat patients.So in 2007,when doctors told him that he had cancer and that it was unlikely for him to live longer than a year,he saw an opportunity.
With the help of his colleagues,he gave himself three different vaccines based on his research and a total of eight experimental therapies (疗法).Even though Steinman eventually died from his cancer,he lived four and a half years,much longer than doctors had said he would.

33.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.some dangerous experiments that Nobel prize winners did on themselves
B.difficulties that scientists went through in order to make important discoveries
C.the reasons why some scientists chose to experiment on themselves
D.three Nobel prize winners who did experiments on themselves
34.Which of the following is TRUE according to the article?C
A.Forssmann's experiment ended in failure.
B.Forssmann managed to do his experiment on different kinds of animals.
C.Barry Marshall succeeded by drinking some Helicobacter pylori.
D.Barry Marshall's experiment on himself confirmed that most doctors'belief about gastritis was correct.
35.From the text,we can conclude that Ralph SteinmanB.
A.discovered a new type of cancer cell called the dendritic cell
B.tried different therapies containing the dendritic cell on himself
C.knew that he himself would have cancer and die from it
D.believed that he was better than doctors at treating cancer.
9.Finally,I entered the university.Because of my careful savings,I did not have to work during the school year.Then,summer came and it was time to work harder than ever.I continued working as a waitress at night,instructed tennis camps several mornings a week and worked as a secretary for a few hours in the afternoons.I even decided to take a class at a community (社区) college.This class at the community college saved me 650dollars.It was an extremely tiring summer and made me anxious to return to my relatively easy life at the university.?
During my second and third years of undergraduate schooling,I decided to work about five hours per week in the campus (校园) admissions office answering phones.This provided a little spending money and kept me from drawing my savings out.I wanted to go to Israel to study for 3 weeks,but I hesitated in making this decision because it would cost me 1,600dollars more to get the credits in Israel.About two weeks later my Mom called to tell me that I had 1,600dollars in the bank that I had forgotten about!One of my concerns about this trip was not only the cost,but the loss of time to make money; however,I made as much that summer in the ten weeks when I was at home as I had made during the fourteen weeks when I was at home the summer before.The way everything worked together to make this trip possible was one of the most exciting things that have ever happened to me.?This experience has shaped me in many important ways.The first thing that I learned was the importance of a strong work ethic (伦理).Working long hours did a lot to develop my character and helped me learn the value of a dollar.It also made me learn how to search for creative ways to settle difficult situations.?

6.If you have a little child,who hates sitting in a child car seat,then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.
Would you want to be  (41)stuck  in an unchangeable position every time you're in the car?No.You Wouldn't!
When a  (42)grown-up  sits in a car for any length of time,we stretch,we change the position,we move our legs,and shift  (43)constantly.We do this automatically,and without  (44)thinking.But kids in a traditional car seat can't do this.They are stuck in one position,and they  (45)can't  move.We move because the  (46)circulation  of blood needs to be restored in our legs as we sit in the  (47)same  position for any extended length of time.
In a traditional car seat,the child can't move to  (48)reduce  the pain,so it  (49)puts  them in a bad mood.
The FreedomRide lets them have a little  (50)freedom,and still be safe.The 5-point Harness gives them additional safety  (51)over  a traditional child car seat.
I am the Webmaster for islandbreeze.com,and  (52)when  JoeySafe asked us to redo their web site,I was  (53)attracted  by this system.That is because I have two small children,and we obviously  (54)use  car seats.I live in Southern California,and every  (55)couple  of months,my wife,the girls and I,go to see grandma who lives in Nevada.It's a 5-hour drive,so the FreedomRide  (56)works  well.Our trips are so much better now,especially,since there is  (57)more  room in the car without the car seats.
The FreedomRide really did  (58)make it easier to go on trips.The only thing you need when you use the Joeysafe  (59)instead of  your old child seat is a pillow.(60)Besides,my kids want to take a pillow anyway!As a dad,I feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide.
