Hip-hop music doesn’t typically remind us of the description “kid-friendly”. But Syracuse musicians Samar Moseley and Tyrone Jackson have found inspiration in their work as bus drivers for the Syracuse City School District. While other performers may rap about street violence or ill-gotten riches,this pair — known as 1306 — apply catchy beats to cautionary raps on bus safety and working toward graduation.
Last year,1306 put out a three-song record,Mr. Bus Driver,with positive raps on school-related issues. They also performed at city schools. In an interview,Moseley said that he thought 1306 could find a sizable market for its positive messages. Moseley is the songwriter while Jackson handles the beats and engineering. The pair,who started driving buses in 2011,are enthusiastic about what the foture holds.
They met during their bus driver training. The name 1306 came from Moseley's Bus Route 13 and Jackson's Bus Route 06. The concept behind that is going down a new journey and taking a new route to success. The first songs they did were club songs. One day,they both had a bad day on the bus,so they started talking about what happened and came up with the Mr. Bus Driver song.
“Driving a school bus isn’t an easy job. You have to let kids on the bus know that there are rules they should follow. The best way to teach something is to make it constructive and fun. Kids can learn the rules and have fun singing songs and dancing. It's a good feeling,” Jackson said. .
Their CDs have now become popular in other states. In Minneapolis,people play them in day care centers. After more than a year,1306 is still the only thing the kids in the centers want to listen to.
9. What makes 1306 different from other rappers?
A. Their club songs.
B. Their sunny smiles.
C. Their special experiences.
D. The themes of their songs.

A. It was their new bus route number.
B. It combined their bus route numbers.
C. It reminded them of their bad days.
D. It is the combination of their birthday dates.
11. What's the purpose of 1306’s songs according to Jackson?
A. To comfort bored drivers.
B. To make kids learn music.
C. To teach people how to drive.
D. To help,kids behave themselves.

You can tell a lot about people by looking at their hair 一 not just whether they brush,spray,or blow-dry. Scientists have found a way to use hair to figure out where a person is from and where that person has been. The fTnding could help solve crimes among other useful applications.
Water is central to the new technique. The liquid makes up more than half an adult human's body weight. Our bodies break water down into hydrogen (氢) and oxygen. Atoms of these two elements end up in our tissues,fingernails,and hair.
But not all Water is the same. Hydrogen and oxygen atoms can vary in how much they weigh. In the case of hydrogen,for example,there are three types according to their weights. Each type is called a hydrogen isotope (同位素) .And depending on where you live,tap water contains different isotopes.
Can hair record this information? That's what James R. Ehleringer,an environmental chemist at the University of Utah,wondered. To find it out,he and his colleagues collected hair from hair stylists in 65 cities in 18 states across the United States. Even though people drink a lot of bottled water these days,the researchers have found that people's hair has the same isotopes as found in the local tap water. That's probably because- people usually prepare their food with the local water.
Authorities can now use the information to analyze hair samples from criminals,or crime victims and to narrow their search for clues. For example,one hair sample used in Ehleringer's study came from a.man who had moved from San Francisco to Salt Lake City. As his hair grew,it reflected his change in location.
5. What do we know about the hydrogen isotopes,according to Paragraph 3 ?
A. They are classified by^?ize.
B. Each type of them differs in weight.
C. They can improve the quality of tap water.
D. Some of them cannot combine with oxygen.
6. Why is it possible to know where people are from by analyzing their Hkir?
A. People use the same bottled water.
B. People wash their hair in different ways.
C. People's hair is affected by the weather of the places they stay.
D. People's hair indicates the type of water in the places they stay.
7. The last paragraph is mainly to show .
A. how to recognize criminals
B. how to collect hair samples
C. the usefulness of hair analysis
D. the process of Ehleringer's study
8. Where does this text probably come from?
A. A lesson plan. B. A news report.

Elephants have strong defenses against cancer that can prevent it forming,say scientists. They were trying to explain why the animals have lower levels of cancer than would be expected considering their size.
People think that every cell can become cancerous,so the more of them you have,the more likely you are to get cancer. So if an elephant has 100 times as many cells as a person,then it should be 100 times more likely to have the disease. And yet the analysis showed only 5% of elephants die from cancer compared to up to 25% of people.
The scientists turned to elephants’ DNA. Cancer is caused by mutations (变异) in a ceir s DNA that produce faulty instructions leading to (遏制不住的) growth. But animals also have “smoke alarms” that detect the damage and lead to the cell being repaired or killed. One of these alarms is called TP53,and while humans have one TP53 gene,elephants have 20.As a result,elephants seem far keener to kill off cells.
But Mel Greaves,from the Institute of Cancer Research in London,said, “We should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer. In terms of adaptive mechanisms (机制) against cancer we have the same as chimps,but a lot more humans get cancer than chimps. I think the answer is that humans are completely unique as a species in having very rapid social evolution (进化) in a short period of time." He pointed to the rise of unhealthy,cancer-causing behavior,such as obesity and sunbathing. “You’ve never seen an elephant smoke!” he added.
In an evolutionary sense, “success” is judged by the number of kids you have rather than how long you live. Elephants have the greatest reproductive success towards the end of their lives,while humans can live for decades after we are no longer able to getting pregnant. It means there is little evolutionary pressure in humans to develop ways of preventing cancer in old age.
9. What is the text mainly about? ，
A. When elephants will get ill.
B. How elephants live a long life.
C. What elephants do when having cancer.
D. Why elephants have slight chances of getting cancer.
10. Why are elephants keener to kill off cells compared with humans?
A. They are larger in size.
B. They have a unique alarm.
C. They have more TP53 genes.
D. They have healthier eating habits.
11. In the eyes of Greaves, .
A. chimps get more cancer than humans
B. humans* unhealthy behavior increases cancer risk
C. chimps have better adaptive mechanisms than humans
D. elephants have more rapid social evolution than chimps
12. When elephants become old,they will .
