Just two months before his senior year in high school, Foster Andersen was riding a bicycle in his hometown
of Henrietta, N. Y. when it crashed. The accident left him in a coma (昏迷). He remained in a hospital for seven
months.
In the nearly 40 years that have followed, Andersen has to use a wheelchair. He can write when a pen is
intertwined in his fingers, but he needs an assistant to help him with everyday needs. However, a quick survey of
his achievements shows not one but two college degrees and a huge network of people who call him friend. And
probably the best example of Andersen’s spirit is his nonprofit group Shared Adventures. Last summer the
organization celebrated 21 years of bringing recreational and social activities to people with disabilities.
“
It’s founded on the belief that recreation, fun, challenge and opportunity to the outdoors are necessary parts of
a healthy life,” Andersen said. “It’s the only year-round program that offers such a wide range of activities to
people with physical challenges and special needs.”
Cycling is on today’s schedule. A group of about 50 people gather at the campus of California State University

for a 25-mile ride along the California coast.
Besides cycling, Shared Adventures offers year-round classes in yoga, gardening and art. It also hosts many
social events, such as a winter holiday party. The most well-known event is called Day on the Beach. Last year,
nearly 1,200 volunteers and participants gathered on the Cowell Beach in Santa Cruz to give participants a rare
opportunity to surf in the Pacific Ocean.
Wendy Bell, a disabled yoga teacher and Day on the Beach participant, said the event is the best example of
the great experience the organization offers. And Shared Adventures helps her in another way. “More than half of
the people I meet are through Shared Adventures, so it provides something that can be hard to find elsewhere,” she
said.

When a pill is swallowed, it begins a dangerous journey before it can be absorbed into the body. Even if it
manages to survive exposure to stomach acid and resist degradation by digestive enzymes, the pill must then go
through the mucus (黏液) barrier — the gut’s (肠道) defense against unwelcome particles.
第 5页/共 13页

Some large-protein drugs , including the diabetes-treating insulin (胰岛素), can’t pass through the mucus
barrier at all. Because of the barrier’s strength, less than 1 percent of insulin taken orally is absorbed and used by
the body, requiring patients to inject it instead. But in a new study, researchers created a robotic pill that can drill
through the mucus barrier to deliver drugs more efficiently.
“
I was watching videos of these machines that can make tunnels,” says Shriya Srinivasan, a biomedical
engineer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and lead author of the study. “I thought, ‘OK, what if we did this
but for mucus?’”
The team’s robotic pill, called RoboCap, is about the size of a multivitamin. Inside, it holds the drug payload
in a tiny compartment. The outside is coated with gelatin (明胶) that can dissolve (溶解) at a certain PH. When the
pill is swallowed and reaches the stomach, the coating would dissolve. Then, the gut’s PH triggers a motor inside
the capsule and makes the pill begin spinning (快速旋转). The motion erodes the compartment with the drug
payload, which is slowly released into the digestive tract. After about 35 minutes of activity, the capsule moves
through the rest of the body and exits the body with a bowel movement.
The researchers tested the pill’s ability to deliver insulin in seven live pigs. Compared to a similar pill without
the complex mechanism, RoboCap increased the amount of drug absorbed by 20 to 40 times. “Further research
should look at how the pill would affect people with weakened immune systems, as well as how it impacts helpful
bacteria living in the gut’s mucus,” says Abdul Basit, a pharmaceutics researcher at University College London in
England who was not involved with the study.

8. Why does the author mention the diabetes-treating insulin in paragraph 2
A. To show the reason for a new drug delivery way.
B. To explain curing diabetes is easier than expected.
C. To highlight diabetes is a common disease for people.
D. To indicate insulin injection needs further improvement.

9. What can be learned about RoboCap?
A. Its motor can be activated by a robot.
B. It comes in different sizes and shapes.
C. Its coating can break down at a certain PH.
D. It may fail to work due to the temperature of organs.

0. What does Abdul Basit advise the researchers to do?

B. Conduct more trials in different animals.
C. Develop more drugs for people with different needs. D. Assess RoboCap’s potential impact on the human

Sometimes, you seem to hear a conversation between two familiar voices, or the lyrics to a beloved song. It’s
alarming because, as far as you know, you’re alone, and there’s no music playing either. The only noise in the room
is the uneven vibration of a fan or the sound of water rushing from your shower head.
Disconcerting as this may be, don’t worry. You’re probably experiencing audio pareidolia, a strange but
common experience that happens when you perceive words from a random noise. While it feels somewhat like a
hallucination ( 幻 觉 ), hearing and psychology experts assure us that it’s not. Instances of audio pareidolia are
different from hallucinations in that you’re mishearing actual sounds in unusual ways.
“
When you’re born, your brain is basically a sheet of blank paper. But your brain is always looking for
patterns, whether they’re visual, auditory, or anything else,” says Neil Bauman, the founder of the Center for
Hearing Loss Help. The brain’s desire to find patterns it can recognize from random information is why pareidolia
occurs in every sensory system. It’s why you see faces in the clouds overhead or feel something crawling on the
surface of your skin even though nothing’s there. On a physiological level, your brain, which tries really hard to
find meaning in all the sensory input it receives, goes digging into its archives ( 档 案 ) to give meaning to an
unstable mess of noise. What you end up hearing is your brain’s rationalization (合理化) of the background sound.
“
“
You don’t hear what your ears hear, but you hear what your brain perceives you to hear,” says Bauman.
Sometimes that’s a bit far off from what the actual noise is. Your brain is very good at finding patterns and adding
significance to random input. That’s why you understand that loud noises are a sign that you might be in a
dangerous situation—an evolutionary advantage.”
“
These patterns in question are ‘fuzzy’ in the first place, not ‘sharp’,” says Bauman of the deceptive
background noise. “If the pattern was sharp, your brain would get a perfect match, and you’d hear the sound as a
fan or motor sound. It’s the fuzziness of the sound that results in so much ambiguity.”

3
A. The sounds cause hearers’ inward panic.
B. The sounds are too low to be clearly recognized.
C. The hearers have difficulty recognizing mixed sounds.
D The brain mismatches the sounds with the patterns in its database.
4. What does Neil Bauman think of audio pareidolia?
A. Alarming. B. Outstanding.

C. Useful.
D. Temporary.
D. Dynamic.

5. What does the underlined word “fuzzy” in the last paragraph probably mean?

项。
Being a people-pleaser is second nature to many people. We tend to calm those around us, often regardless of
our own needs. Actually, it is unhealthy to do so. What counts much is to change some of your daily habits.

___36____
Be sure of your own value
You were created differently from every other human. Overcoming pleasing people starts with clearly
knowing the value of your thoughts and actions, and that your presence matters. By pleasing people at the cost of
your own desires, you’re forgetting that you are here for a reason.

___37____
When something goes wrong, it’s quite natural for me to say sorry. It is pretty true of you if you’re a
people-pleaser too. However, before words of apology trip from your lips, stop a
