A
For as long as we’ve known about it, humans have searched for a cure for cancer. Across the world, countless amounts of time and money have been spent on researching a way to stop this terrible disease. But now, it seems like the answer could have been inside our own bodies the whole time.
Recently, the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in the US, a government agency that’s responsible for healthcare, approved a new form of gene therapy(疗法) that could mean the end of a certain type of cancer.
The therapy allows scientists to “train” the immune(有免疫力的) cells of sick patients to fight leukemia(白血病) — a form of blood cancer that mostly affects young people.
The exciting new treatment works by removing healthy immune cells from the patient, known as T-cells, which are then changed to be able to “hunt down” cancer cells.
The cells are then put back into the patient before they begin to get rid of the patient’s leukemia over time, similar to how the body fights off other illnesses.
“This is truly an exciting new day for cancer patients,” Louis J. DeGennaro, president of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, said in a news release.
Up until now, a long and painful marrow transplant(骨髓移植) was the only option for many leukemia patients.
In this procedure, healthy blood cells are taken from a donator and placed into the sick patient, who also has to go through chemotherapy (化疗) to allow their body to adjust to the new cells.
But with a recovery rate of around 3% — according to a news release published by the FDA — it’s hoped that the days of painful trips to the hospital, or even death, are over for leukemia sufferers.
“We’re entering a new frontier in medical innovation(创新) with the ability to reprogram a patient’s own cells to attack a deadly cancer,” FDA representative Scott Gottlieb said in the release. “New technologies such as gene and cell therapies hold the potential to transform medicine and our ability to treat and even cure many incurable illnesses.”
1、What is the author’s main purpose in writing the passage?
A．To compare different ways of curing leukemia.
B．To report on a breakthrough in cancer treatment.
C．To explore the potential of gene and cell therapies.
D．To show scientists’ efforts in search of a cure for cancer.
2、How does the new treatment to fight leukemia work?
A．By using changed T-cells to destroy cancer cells.
B．By replacing sick blood cells with healthy ones.
C．By removing sick blood cells during marrow transplant.
D．By using chemotherapy to improve the patient’s immune system.
3、What can be inferred about the new therapy for leukemia sufferers?
A．It can save them many more trips to the hospital.
B．It can improve their ability to fight off all kinds of cancer.
C．It can give them a better chance of survival and recovery.
D．It can reduce their pain in the process of marrow transplant.
4、What is Scott Gottlieb’s attitude toward gene and cell therapies?
A．Doubtful. B．Optimistic. C．Worried. D．Casual.

B
As more people opt for the single life, adult friendships also grow more important For people in relationships, having a reliable group is important, too-your mate will be much happier if you’re spreading your anxieties beyond his or her cars and you will also feel better.
In a recent study, researchers made some fascinating findings about how “who we are” informs the friendships we hold. The study was based on the most popular personality construct in contemporary psychology, the Big 5 personality traits (特征); extraversion, or how much you love attention and interacting with people; neuroticism, or how easily worried you are by things; agreeableness, or how warm and kind you are; conscientiousness, or how careful you are about lifers many duties; and openness to experience, or how much you’re into discovering new things, whether they’re ideas, people, or places.
For their study, the research team recruited 434 students. They took a personality questionnaire in the lab, then rated how satisfied they were with their friends and their life overall, and then researchers asked them to recommend half a dozen friends to rate their personality. Gathering these ratings together, the researchers found that openness to experience didn’t have anything to do with friendship satisfaction, at least in this study. Neuroticism was linked to lower satisfaction (probably because emotionally unstable people may be dramatic or hard to please, at least in my personal experience). But having high scores in the three remaining sunny traits-conscientiousness, extra version, and agreeableness-predicted higher friendship satisfaction. However, it’s a pretty intuitive (直觉的) result, since it’s easy to be friends with someone who’s always on time, always saying that you’re right, and always up to hang out But if you don’t exactly identify with all that* fear not: Your personality is so much more than your traits.
1、What does the author think of the friendship?
A．It is helpful to dating and work.
B．It can relieve your negative emotions.
C．It has nothing to do with personality.
D．It is ba.sed on the 5 popular personality traits.
2、What did the recent study find?
A．The biggest 5 personality traits.
B．The methods of informing the friendships.
C．The ways to form the most popular personality.
D．The relationship between personality and friendships.
3、What does the underlined word “neuroticism” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．Determination. B．Nervousness.
C．Hesitation. D．Optimism.
4、What opinion does the author hold?
A．It’s hard to please emotionally unstable people.
B．A punctual person can surely make more friends.
C．Friends arc more important than families for single persons.
D．The five traits arc equally demanded in getting higher friendship satisfaction.
