As we know, DNA testing is very useful for crime fighting. But now crime fighters could have a new tool at hand. Researchers have developed a cutting-edge (前沿的) technique to identify human hair. Their test is quicker than DNA analysis techniques currently used by the police.
DNA testing is commonly used for identification because DNA is unique to each individual. However, environmental and chemical processes can degrade(降解) DNA, limiting its usefulness over time. Protein (蛋白质) in hair, on the other hand, is more stable than DNA but can also have variations (变异体) that may be unique to the individual.
“Our analysis process can be used universally, ”says Ms. Huang, “One of our samples even included dyed hair and the test was 100 per cent accurate. The test was able to distinguish East Asians, Caucasians and South Asians.”
Dr. Beauchemin says she has got in touch with law enforcement agencies about using the new technology. She is also planning to collect more hair samples and continue her research with a goal of finding where exactly in the world hair sample is from, to look for more races and determine specific age.
“We are in a very similar place with protein-based identification to where DNA testing was during the early days of development,” said chemist Brad Hart. “This method will be a game-changer, and while we’ve made a lot of progress toward improving it, there are steps to go before this new technique is able to reach its full potential.”
1.What’s the main purpose of the text?
A. To analyze crime scenes.
B. To distinguish different races.
C. To show the usefulness of DNA testing.
D. To introduce a new identification method.
2.Which will be the most useful in identifying a person according to Brad Hart?
A. Chemical materials. B. Protein in hair.
C. DNA variations. D. Blood sample.
3.What’s the advantage of the protein-based identification over DNA testing?
A. Stability. B. Popularity.
C. Security. D. Convenience.
4.What can be inferred from the last paragraph of the text?
A. DNA testing will soon reach its full potential.
B. Protein-based identification remains to be improved.
C. Protein-based identification has replaced DNA testing.
D. DNA testing develops as rapidly as protein-based identification.

Most episodes (片段) of absent-mindedness—forgetting where you left something or wondering why you just entered a room—are caused by a simple lack of attention.” says Schacter. “You’re supposed to remember something, but you haven’t encoded it deeply.”
“Encoding”, Schacter explains, “is a special way of paying attention to an event that has a major effect on remembering it later. Failure to encode properly can create annoying situations. If you put your mobile phone in a pocket, for example, and don’t pay attention to what you did because you’re involved in a conversation, you’ll probably forget that the phone is in the jacket now hanging in your wardrobe (衣柜).” “Your memory itself isn’t failing you,” says Schacter. “Rather, you didn’t give your memory system the information it needed.”
Lack of interest can also lead to absent-mindedness. “A man who can recite sports statistics from 30 years ago,” says Zelinski, “may not remember to drop a letter in the mailbox.” Women have slightly better memories than men, possibly because they pay more attention to their environment. And memory depends on just that.
“Reminders can help prevent absent-mindedness,” says Schacter. “But be sure the reminder is clear and available,” he says. If you want to remember to take medicine with lunch, put it on the kitchen table— don’t leave it in the medicine chest and write yourself a note that you keep in a pocket.
Another common episode of absent-mindedness: walking into a room and wondering why you’re there. Most likely, you were thinking about something else. “Everyone does this from time to time,” says Zelinski. The best thing to do is to return to where you were before entering the room, and you’ll likely remember.
1.Why does the writer think that encoding is important?
A. It helps us understand our memory system better.
B. It enables us to remember something from our memory.
C. It expands our memory ability greatly.
D. It slows down the process of losing our memory.
2.Why can a note in the pocket hardly serve as a reminder?
A. Because it will easily get lost.
B. Because it’s not clear enough for you to read.
C. Because it’s out of your sight.
D. Because it might get mixed up with other things.
3.What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. If we pay more attention to one thing, we might forget another.
B. Memory depends to a certain extent on the environment.
C. Doing something again helps improve our memory.
D. If we keep forgetting things, we’d better return to where we were.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. The process of gradual memory loss.
B. The causes of absent-mindedness.
C. The influence of the environment on memory.
D. A way of encoding and remembering.

It’s the time of year when graduates (毕业生) are looking forward to putting constant exams behind and moving on to a more exciting stage of their lives. But in the digital age, not everything is so easily left behind, because they have created a digital footprint that’s often not easy to cover up. However, there are various actions they can take to make that online presence more appealing. 1.
Clean up your Facebook account
Clean up your Facebook page and get rid of anything that could be considered offensive or held against you. Remember, the test is no longer “Would you want grandma to see it?” but “2.”
Use a professional looking photo
3., so make sure that first impression is a good one. Again, what worked at school is unlikely to impress the employers. Also, be consistent and use the same photo on all your online platforms.
4.
While it’s important to make the transition (过渡) from school to the workplace, you don’t want to leave everything behind. Make a point of keeping in touch with your school friends, teachers, professors, sports coaches, or anyone who could be helpful to you as you establish a career.
Be yourself
Nobody can be more like you than you. 5. Turn your social networking pages into your own personal website, and start marketing your own individual brand!
A. A picture is worth a thousand words
B. Would you want a future employer to see it?
C. Make sure your online presence is representative of who you really are.
D. Here are a few suggestions that you might want to pass on.
