Monica Bertagnolli is an oncologist (肿瘤学家) at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor of
surgery at Harvard Medical School. Growing up in Wyoming, she was well aware of the lack of health care
resources in rural areas. Access to in-depth care for cancer patients is hard to get. She’s worked throughout her
career to change that.
In Wyoming, there’s a great distance to travel between where people live and where they can find a cancer
specialist. “If you need treatments and they have to be administered every day, and if it’s 120 miles from where
you live, that ends up being a huge barrier to receiving the kind of care you need.”
And now Monica serves as the vice president of the Coalition (联盟) of Cancer Cooperative Groups (CCCG)
—
an international network of individuals who work to improve the quality of life and survival of cancer patients
by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials.
She said, “One of the really important things is, we’re trying to make sure that cancer clinical trials can get to
every single patient who needs them in my own state.” The coalition set up sites in northern and southern
Wyoming that are able to run clinical trials. Before those trials became available, patients would usually go to
Denver or Salt Lake City — a three-to-seven-hour drive.
Monica’s efforts to increase access to the health care needs of her rural Wyoming patients also include
helping to develop new policies that will allow patients to participate in more clinical trials, and linking them with
a regional doctor who can get them the access to the care they need.
In addition to the clinical trials, Monica said that technology’s progress like better cell phone and internet
service in the mountains of Wyoming, as well as social media, has helped rural residents stay in touch with loved
ones and medical professionals despite their distance. She is trying to advocate strongly for those changes to
continue.
“
I still consider myself part of Wyoming and I am very devoted to making sure that patients can get access to
care.”

4. What do rural cancer patients in Wyoming need most?
A. Better housing. B. Medical treatment. C. Further education.
D. Public transportation.

5. How has Monica helped the cancer patients?
A. By training medical professionals.
B. By advocating financial aid.
D. By offering clinical trials.
C. By improving internet service.

6. Which of the following can best describe Monica?
A. Determined and loyal.
B. Honest and generous.
C. Dedicated and responsible.
7. What is a suitable title for the text?
A. A helper for cancer patients
C. A pioneer for cancer treatment
D. Grateful and courageous.
B. A push for progress
D. A hope for cancer patients

Somewhere in the sky, lightning is forming. Although the possibility of getting struck in your lifetime is
roughly 1 in 12,000, a human does provide an attractive target for lightning bolts(闪电).Here’s what you should
expect if you ever find yourself in the path of lightning.
A lot can happen in the three milliseconds it takes for a lightning bolt to course through your body. Lightning
strikes may leave you with deep wounds, often accompanied with third degree burns. Your clothes might even be
torn by the explosive force of the surrounding air being superheated to up to 27,700 ℃. Blood vessels(血管)

exploding from the electric shock and heat often create something called a Lichtenberg figure on your skin. This is
a pattern of scars(伤疤)that branches out across your body like a tree.
But it doesn’t end there. You might also be faced with a lifetime of neurological(神经系统的)conditions for
reasons that scientists still don’t fully understand. It’s also possible that you will suffer from pain.
In some cases, however, a lightning strike can lead to strange super talents. In a blog post, University of
Miami neuroscientist Berit Brogaard writes about an incident where a surgeon who was struck by lightning
developed an urge to learn to play the piano. He began to compose music he had started hearing in his head since
the strike. This type of phenomenon confuses scientists.
One theory that Brogaard says is that cell death caused by being struck by lightning could cause a one-time
flooding of the brain with neurotransmitters(神经递质)that are released from the dying neurons(神经元). This
causes a rewiring of neurons, providing access to areas of the brain that were previously inaccessible.
Cool as it would be, you shouldn’t count on lightning turning you into a genius in one flash. Most of its
results are painful, and could stay with you for the rest of your life.

An early text-to-video AI tool called ModelScope, while impressive, was deeply limited in its ability to
accurately represent the text prompt—some users even described the video that it created as “nightmarish”. While
a year later, text-to-video AI would blur the line between the digital and the real.
If you’ve ever used a text-to-image generative AI tool like DALL-E, you’ll see that text-to-video tools work
in a similar way. The user provides a prompt, like “cat swimming in a fish tank”, and the tool creates a video
based on everything it knows about cats, water, fish and the physics of how they might interact. The tool makes
use of what are known as “visual patches”, building blocks of data that help the AI to understand how everything
in the scene should interact and progress, frame by frame.
Tools based on a diffusion system, like OpenAI’s Sora, are trained to recognize objects so they can refine
images by filtering out the incorrect visual patches. This process could be compared to a worker melting raw gold

multiple times in order to remove all its flaws（瑕疵）.
One of the remarkable things about OpenAI’s Sora is that it can generate content in a variety of styles. When
the project was disclosed last February, OpenAI claimed that “Sora can generate videos up to a minute long while
maintaining visual quality and adherence（遵守）to the user’s prompt.”
But there are constraints to Sora’s capabilities. As OpenAI shows in some demo videos, the physics of how
objects interact in the videos doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes people or objects will blend together,
transform into other things, disappear or appear out of nowhere. But if the technology can bound from the bizarre
spaghetti video to where it is now in a year, these limitations probably won’t last long.
Meanwhile, you can still experiment with simple text-to-video tools like invideo AI, a product that was
created with marketing, content creation and education in mind. It’s perfect for creating online tutorials,

An essential writing skill is the ability to use plain language effectively to convey ideas clearly. Plain
language involves using direct and accessible language with a straightforward structure. To write in plain
language, it is important to follow certain guidelines.

The only details necessary are those necessary for understanding. For example, the sign “Wait
behind the yellow line,” at a train platform includes “yellow” so travelers know where to stand.
Plain language avoids using vocabulary that requires specialized knowledge. If you work in IT, you can
comfortably use the word “latency” with your colleagues.

But when speaking with someone without
an IT background, you might instead use “slow” to ensure that they know what you’re talking about.
Plain language is more than word choices, though. It also involves structuring writing to prioritize clarity.
