In this fast –paced(快节奏的) world, many values are experiencing great changes. While people traditionally caring, sharing and generosity the most important things in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-centered.

Modern people act selfishly to survive the highly competitive world. To survive, you have to fight with whatever ways you can think of. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, workers do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even if it means their workmates will lose a lot because of this. They are not born cold-blooded; it is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way because of outside influences.

To be honest, it is hard to say that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more seriously punished then. But we can’t be blind to the fact that people in the past faced less pressure compared with the modern environment.

Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a win-win relationship.

Aamir Khan(阿米尔·汗) is an Indian film actor, director and TV talk show host. Through his 30-year career in Indian films, Khan has made himself one of the most popular stars in India.

Khan first appeared on screen as a child actor in his uncle’s film at the age of 8. In 1998, he began his full-time acting career with the leading role in a romantic film. He acted so well in that film that he won the National Film Award. Since then, he has been playing leading roles in different kinds of films.

Aamir Khan is no doubt one of the most hard-working actors in this world. He went through great changes in his appearance for his films, in order to make the characters that he played look more believable. For example, when acting in the film Dangal (《摔跤吧！爸爸》) in 2016, he first put on weight to 97kg to play the middle-aged old Dad, and then reduced the weight to 70kg in five months for the young Dad. That may be one of the main reasons why his films and he are loved by fans all over the world .

In 2007, Khan became a director with the film titled Taare Zameen Par, which was a huge box office success that year.

Within and beyond the film industry, Khan is a great humanitarian. He has created and hosted the TV talk show named Satyamev Jayate, through which he talks about different kinds of problems in India. The show sometimes can even influence the Indian government. His work has won him an appearance on the Time 100 list of most influential people in the world.

Canadian biophysicist Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.

Scientists have been trying to grow organs(器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard job. For example, liver cells(肝细胞) can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels(血管)to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold (支架).

In the past, scientists have used man-made materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.

Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy-to-use scaffold.

They first cut an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple's cells and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple, and watched it grow.

“You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive.” Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.

The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse's cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.

Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use.

He says that the lower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦笋) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).

Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality.

【1】Pelling’s idea of man-made ear seems crazy because he used _______ as scaffolds.

A.animal partsB.dead peopleC.man-made materialsD.ordinary apples

【2】The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means _______.

A.pickB.putC.produceD.protect

【3】From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetables _______.

A.to make human earsB.to repair burnt skin

C.to fix a broken spineD.to make human body parts
