A woman suffering from cancer during pregnancy can pass the disease on to her unborn child, scientists have shown in a study that solves a puzzle that has confused doctors for a century.

The rare occurrence of a mother and child appearing to share the same cancer---of which there have been about 30 known cases---is a result of genetic mutation (基因突变) that allows the cancer to pass to the baby unnoticed.

There was previously no genetic evidence to explain why a child’s immune system would not recognize and destroy any invasive cancer cells that were of maternal---and therefore, foreign origin.

The new study, led by Mel Greaves, of the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR), and published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, used advanced genetic fingerprinting to prove that infant’s leukaemic cells (白血病细胞) were unquestionably of maternal origin.

The case, involving a Japanese mother aged 28 and her daughter, showed that both patients’ leulaemic cells carried the identical transformed cancer gene BCR-ABL even though the infant had not inherited (遗传的) this gene.

This meant that the child, who had cancer diagnosed at 11 months, old, could not have developed this type of leukaemia in isolation.

To investigate how the cells could have crossed the placental barrier (胎盘膜) and survived in the offspring (后代), the scientists looked for evidence of some form of immunological (免疫学的) acceptance of tolerance of the foreign cells by the foetus (胎儿).

Professor Greaves, who worked with colleagues in Japan with funding from Leukaemia Reasearch, said that it had bee assumed that cancer spread was impossible because of the placenta’s role in preserving materno-foetal (母体-胎儿) health.

Knowing that Louise Mallard had heart trouble, care was taken to tell her the news of her husband’s death.

    It was her sister, Josephine, who told her. Her husband Richard had been in the newspaper office when the news of the railway accident was received, with Brent Mallard’s name leading the list of “killed”.

    On hearing the news Louise cried at once in her sister’s arms. When her tears ended she went to her room alone. She would have no one follow her. She sank into the comfortable armchair that faced the open window, as if she was pressed down by a sadness that seemed to reach into her soul.

From the window she could see the tops of trees and new green spring life. The delicious smell of rain was in the air. Some blue sky could be seen through the clouds. She was young, with a fair, calm and intelligent face. But now there was an empty look in her eyes, as she dully stared out at the sky.

Fearing for her sister, Josephine came to the door and begged Louise to come out. Finally she opened the door. She held her sister’s waist and together they came down the stairs. Richard stood waiting for them at the bottom.

Suddenly there was the sound of someone opening the front door. Brent Mallard entered. He had been far from the accident, and did not even know there had been one. He stood in shock as Louise let out a scream.

The kids at Shute Country Primary School in Devon are surprisingly quiet when it’s time to go home in the afternoon. Instead of the usual shouting and running you can hear them asking each other, “Are the lights all off?”, “Shall we check the taps in case they are dripping?”, “How many paper towels did we use today?”

But it’s not unusual here. The kids have declared a war on waste.

“We’ve never made the children do anything,” explains Liz Templar, the school’s head teacher. “They came up with all the ideas themselves. They’re doing this because they want to.”

If you take a look around the school you won’t see anything thrown away unnecessarily. Everything is collected and reused, or sent to be recycled.

Shute School started its green revolution two years ago. They looked carefully at every part of school life—from the teaching to the cleaning. They looked at the way stationery was used especially photocopying, the way cleaning was carried out, and how food was used and wasted!

Even parents were looked at: how many children came in each car? Did they use unleaded (不含铅的) petrol? Could they bring more children in fewer cars?

High on the list was the waste of paper. Next came unfriendly cleaning products. Paper towels were replaced with recycled paper. But the hardest thing for the kids was when they found out how much rubbish was created by the chocolate, crisps and other snacks eaten at lunch time. Of their own accord(自愿的), the children gave them up. Now they bring apples and home-made snacks.

The school has its own garden where they grow vegetables and flowers so that they can learn about the environment. They also use this area for their recycling store—large containers to collect aluminum, bottles, paper and fabric.

Even the school’s play area is made from recycled things.

Since the children started, the school’s heating and lighting bills have fallen obviously and the number of rubbish bags has gone down from seven a week to two or three.

Everywhere in Shute School there are bright posters asking everyone to take their rubbish home, to save energy and paper and to keep the green flag flying.

51. Which of the following BEST describes the writer’s idea?

   A. The pupils at Shute School are fighting against pollution.

 B. The pupils at Shute School are learning to save things.

  C. The pupils at Shute School have declared a war on waste.

  D. The pupils at Shute School have found a way to recycle waste things.

52. Children at Shute Country Primary School bring apples and homemade snacks to school in order to       .

   A. create less rubbish               B. save money

C. obey the school’s rules            D. keep their promise

53. We can infer from the text that “green revolution” means       .

A. beautifying schoolyard             B. activity against waste

C. planting green plants               D. throwing away waste

54. What do the children think creates the most waste?

A. Paper towels.      B. Cleaning products.     C. Snacks.     D. Paper.

55. We can learn from the text that the children’s behaviour       .

   A. has brought arguments                     B. has saved the school’s cost

   C. was against their parents               D. was forced by their head teacher
