15．A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11years after a pioneering voice box transplant（移植）．
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（神经）．
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（免疫系统）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 transplant four years ago．Professor Peter Belafsky，part of the surgical team，said："Brenda was an exceptional 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．
64．Ms．Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she wasD．
A．determined and realistic

13．Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have but one cannot take good health for granted．It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy．There are three things that a person can do to help stay healthy，eating right food，getting enough sleep，and exercising regularly．
Proper nutrition（营养） is important for good health．Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind"fuel"．Don't eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat．Eat plenty of foods high in protein（蛋白质），like meat，fish，eggs and nuts．Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals．However，don't overeat．It is not helpful to be overweight．
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important．If you don't get enough sleep，you feel tired and easily get angry．You have no energy．Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality（人的个性）．Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each day．If you do，your body will feel strong and refreshed，and  your mind will be sharp．
Finally，get plenty of exercise．Exercise makes the body stronger，strengthens the muscles（肌肉），and prevents you from gaining weight．It also improves your heart and lungs．If you follow a regular exercise program，you will probably increase your life-span（寿命）．Any kind of exercise is good．Most sports are good for keeping the body in good shape：basketball，swimming，bicycling，running and so on．Sports are not only good for your body，but they are enjoyable and interesting，too．
If everybody were to eat the right foods，get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly，the world would be a happier and healthier place．We would all live to be much older and wiser．

12．

First lady Michelle Obama has some advice for some Tennessee High School graduates：Strike your own path in college and life and work to overcome（克服） difficulties with determination and courage．
The first lady told the 170graduates that she spent too much of her own time in college focusing on academic achievements．While her success in college and law school led to a good job，she said，she ended up leaving to focus on public service．
"My message to all of you today is this：Do not waste a minute living someone else's dream．"she said．"It takes a lot of real work to discover what brings you joy…and you won't find what you love simply by checking boxes or padding your GPA（夸大成绩）．"
She said the school reminded her of her own high school experience in Chicago．"My No.1goal was to go to a high school that would push me and challenge me．"she said．"I wanted to go somewhere that would celebrate achievement，a place where academic success wouldn't make me a target（目标） of laughing at or bullying，but instead would be a badge of honour（荣誉的象征）．"But Mrs．Obama said pitifully that not all students have the same opportunities．"Unfortunately，schools like this don't exist for every kid，"she said．"You are lucky．"
The first lady told graduates that failure may be a part of their college lives and careers，and that how they respond to any difficulties will define them．"That's when you find out what you're really made of in those hard times．"she said．"But you only do that if you're willing to put yourself in a position where you might fall．"
Overcoming difficulties has been the hallmark（特征） of many great people，she said．"There's this guy Barack Obama…he lost his first race for Congress，and now he gets to call himself my husband．"The first lady joked："I could spend a whole afternoon talking about his failures．"

11．The flat we now live in is so far from the TV tow that we can't get a strong television（　　）

10．Has this happened to you？You're about to drift off to sleep when suddenly you feel like you're falling or coming down on a roller coaster （过山车）．
You then wake up to realize that you're safe in your bed．You may have been confused or frightened for a second or two and your heart may be beating faster．You may have also felt the muscles in your body jerk when this all happened．Did you ever wonder why？
This falling sensation，together with a body movement known as a"sleep start，"is what doctors and scientists call a myoclonic （肌阵挛的） jerk，and it usually happens right before going into deeper stages of sleep．Here's why doctors think the falling feeling and myoclonic jerks happen．When you fall asleep，normally your body temperature goes down and your heart starts to beat just a little slower．This is because your brain signals your body to relax to prepare for sleep．When your muscles are relaxed，you go into the very first stages of sleep，but you're not sleeping too deeply yet．
This brain activity may cause your larger muscles to contract （收缩） a little bit．In response，another part of your brain will make up a very quick mini-dream to go along with what is happening．You might think this would take a while，but your brain works so fast that it makes up the story almost at the same instant that your muscles jerk．
During this light sleep，you can be awakened easily．People who wake up during the light sleep believe they haven't fallen asleep yet．That's why you may think that your body jerked right before you were about to fall asleep．
Myoclonic jerks are a normal part of sleep．Most people have them at one time or another．But many people don't realize their muscles are jerking during night sleep if it doesn't wake them up．
So the next time you dream about falling and wake up in a sweat，don't worry!Your body is just telling your muscles to relax and get some rest!

9．Iria Wolnick was traveling on Highway 77just after midnight July 5in rural Texas when she saw the scene of a terrible accident．All three occupants-a father and a pregnant mother，and their 2-year-old daughter-had been thrown onto a field．
The mother，Niser，asked Wolnick if her unborn baby was OK，and that was when Wolnick noticed a huge wound on the woman's abdomen （腹），heard a baby's cries and saw a head and a tiny hand emerging from the wound．
"she kept asking，‘How's my baby？'"Wolnick said．"My reaction was to spring into action and did what I could．"

The mother was soon taken to a hospital，where she was pronounced dead．The father and the two-year-old girl survived without serious injury．
Now Wolnick has been honoured by police for her bravery and presented with a medal．

"For someone with limited training，to do something well like this，she deserves this and a lot more，"he said．
Wolnick already had a heavy heart that morning：She was on her way to her mother's funeral in Brownsville，which she said gave the birth special meaning and a sense of spiritual balance．
