Jack Andraka from Maryland won the grand prize at the 2012 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. It is the largest high school science competition in the world. The Maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $75,000 prize. He was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries.Jack Andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer （胰腺癌）. He started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease. “I went on the Internet and I found that 85%of all pancreatic cancers are found late, when someone has less than 2% chance of survival（生存）, ” he says, “and I was thinking,’ That’s not right. We should be able to do something.’” He found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease.
The Maryland teenager asked to work in a laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and was allowed. There he developed a simple paper test, which can recognize the disease in a single drop of blood. His test has proved correct 90% of the time. It also is 100 times more sensitive（敏感的）than other tests. “It costs 3 cents per test, and then it takes only 5 minutes to run,” he said.
Jack’s success wouldn’t have been possible without Anirban Maitra, a professor at Johns Hopkins. He was the only person among the 200 researchers Jack wrote to who showed interest in his project. “I was very surprised that this was a 15-year-old who was writing this. I wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so I called him over for an interview（会面）. ”
Jack worked in Professor Maitra’s laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. The government has given the Maryland teenager patent rights（专利权）to the pancreatic cancer test. He is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.
Whatever happens, the professor believes Jack Andraka’s name is one we will be hearing again over the next 10 to 20 years.

     John "Mad Jack" Mytton (1796-1834) was a carefree English aristocrat who was born into
immense wealth. However, he died a poor man after a life that was once described as "a series of
suicide attempts". So, what went wrong?
     As a young boy, Jack went to Westminster School, but after only one year he was expelled for
fighting with a teacher. He was then sent to Harrow School but only lasted three days before he was
also thrown out. He was eventually educated by private tutors.
     After school, Jack went to Cambridge University. He arrived with 2,000 bottles of port, but left
without graduating - he found university life boring. Later, he joined the army, enlisting with the 7th
Hussars. As a young officer, he spent a year with the regiment in France as part of the occupation
force after Napoleon's defeat in 1815. Jack passed the time gambling and drinking before resigning
his commission. At the age of 21, he returned to his country house just in time to receive his inheritance.
     With an annual income of over ￡800,000 in today's money, Jack was extremely rich… but it didn't
take him long to spend it all. In 1819, he became an MP. In order to secure his seat, he offered voters
￡10 notes to vote for him, spending more than ￡10,000 in total. However, he found politics dull and
went to parliament only once. Back at home, he would often drop bank notes in the gardens of his
estate, and gave his servants vast amounts of spending money. Once he lost his racetrack winnings
(several thousand pounds) when the wind blew all the money away.
     One of Jack's favorite pastimes was hunting. He would go in any kind of weather, occasionally
with no clothes on. Sometimes, he would get up in the middle of the night, take off with a gun to look
for something to shoot.
     Jack also kept a large number of pets. These included about 2,000 dogs. Some were fed on steak
and Champagne and even wore livery. A favorite horse had free range inside Halston Hall and would
often lie with Jack in front of the fire.
     Jack was a bit of a practical joker, too. He once left a horse in the bedroom of a guest. Another
visitor fell asleep and woke up to find a live bear and two bulldogs in his bed. In 1826, as a result of a
bet, Jack rode his horse into the Bedford Hotel, up the grand staircase and onto the balcony. Then,
still sitting on the horse, he jumped off the balcony, landing among the diners in the restaurant below.
     Another time, he invited a local doctor to dine at Halston Hall. As soon as the doctor had left,
Jack put on a highwayman's costume and raced ahead to rob the unsuspecting man. On another
occasion, a passenger in Jack's carriage admitted that he'd never been in an accident, so Jack drove
the carriage up a hill and turned it over. He would also slip red-hot coals into people's pockets as a
joke.
     Eventually, Jack ran out of money and fell into debt. In 1830, he fled to France to avoid his
creditors(债主), but returned a couple of years later, ending up in prison in Southwark, London. Jack
died there in 1834, a poor, lonely man.

1. It can be inferred in the passage that ________.

A. Jack was first educated by private tutors and eventually graduated from Cambridge University.
B. Jack joined the army and succeeded in defeating Napoleon's army in 1815.
C. Jack bribed the voters in order to gain a position of MP.
D. Jack fed his favorite horse with meat and wine and often lay with it in front of the fire.

2. Once Jack rode his horse into a grand hotel and jumped off the balcony in order to pay for his _____.

A. bet
B. debt
C. joke
D. gambling

3. The examples in paragraph 7 tell us that _______.

A. Jack was always ready to help people experience what they hadn't experienced.
B. Jack always punished people by all means to let out his hatred.
C. Jack always played tricks on people to have fun.
D. Jack went mad and treated people unfriendly and even cruelly.

4. The word _________ would be more proper to describe Jack's life.

A. ridiculous
B. luxurious
C. tricky
D. greedy

5. By writing "a series of suicide attempts" in paragraph 1, the author probably means that ________.

A. Jack attempted to kill himself because he was too poor.
B. Jack pretended to suicide to avoid his creditors.
C. Jack lost his life in fighting with poverty.
D. All that Jack had did in his life contributed to his own failure and poverty.
