    Scientists in Argentina have created the world’s first cow with two human genes that will enable it to produce human-like milk.

    Genetic engineering was used to introduce the "mothers’milk" genes into the animal before birth, according to the National Institute of Agribusiness Technology in Buenos Aires.
    As an adult, the cloned cow "will produce milk that is similar to that of humans", which will prove "a development of great importance for the nutrition of infants(婴儿)", said the institute. "The cloned cow, named Rosita ISA, is the first in the world with two human genes that contain the proteins present in human milk," said the statement.
    In April, scientists in China published details of research showing that they had created dairy cows which produced milk containing proteins found in human breast milk. But the Argentine team said the Chinese only introduced one human gene, while their research involved two, meaning the milk will more closely resemble that of humans.
    “Our goal was to raise the nutrition value of cows’milk by adding two human genes, which do good to the immune system of infants,” said Adrian Mutto, from the National University of San Martin which worked with the institute.

    Cristina Kirchner, President of Argentina, said that the scientific institute made all Argentines proud. She also said that she had rejected the "honor" of having the cow named after her. "They came to tell me that the name is Cristina, but what woman would like to have a cow named after her? It appeared to me to be more proper to call it Rosita.”

    1.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. The importance of genetic engineering.

    B. Ways to improve mothers’ milk.

    C. A cloned cow to produce human-like milk.

    D. Advanced agricultural technology in Argentina.

    2.Which of the following can best replace “more closely resemble” in Paragraph 4?

    A. have more varieties than

    B. be more similar to

    C. have more nutrition than

    D. be more different from

    3.What can be inferred from Cristina Kirchner’s statements?

    A. She was quite satisfied with the research done by the institute.

    B. She considered it an honor to name the special cow.

    C. She felt it improper to be named after the cow.

    D. She refused to give a name to the cow out of self-respect.

    America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us develop more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

    Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

    Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they welcome us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don't show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

    For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!

    1.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

    A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

    B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.

    C. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

    D. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.

    2.From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

    A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home

    C. treated to dinner in a restaurant D. treated hospitably at his home

    3.The underlined words “generous with our time” in Paragraph 3 probably mean________.

    A. willing to spend time B. serious with time

    C. strict with time D. careful with time

    4.A suitable title for this passage would probably be “______”.

    A. Friendships between Chinese

    B. Friendships between Americans

    C. Americans’ and Chinese’s views of friendships

    D. Americans’ hospitality

    根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    The Importance of Accessibility Awareness

    At a recent Teen Leadership of Jewish Family Services meeting, people with disabilities talked about their lives. 1. However, what amazed me most was the great importance of education about handicap accommodations (残疾人便利设施).

    One school-teacher who is blind, and a woman who has used a wheelchair all her life are two important members of the National Group for Disabled Persons, devoted to raising awareness about disabilities. 2. These include handicap parking spots, handrails, and wheelchair ramps. One big concern is the people who take advantage of aids, such as handicap parking spaces. 3. And the meeting focused on educating the public.

    Some handicap spots have extra room next to them, marked with the “No Parking” signs. “As long as I'm not in the spot, I can take the no-parking area next to it,” some people say. However, the woman who uses a wheelchair disagrees to this. The space exists to allow someone in a wheelchair to have room to get in or out of their car. 4.

    Some walkways have handrails next to them to help those who require extra assistance. Whether it is a blind person seeking guidance or an elderly person seeking support, the rail is there for walking. Sometimes the rail is blocked, by a parked bicycle for instance, and consequently made useless. 5. People who are informed of the rail’s use would be less likely to mistake it for a bike rack.

    Meeting some of the people who are affected by the lack of education about accommodations made me see that there is work to be done. If more people were educated about the proper uses of accommodations, there would be fewer challenges for people with physical disabilities.

    A. Accommodations will vary according to the needs of the disabled.

    B. As with the parking spot, this is more likely a case of lack of education.

    C. They educate about all the accommodations for people with disabilities.

    D. Improvement must be made so that disabled people can fully participate.

    E. If there is a car in that space, the handicap parking spot is no longer useful.

    F. So people without disabilities need to be educated about these accommodations.

    G. I was amazed to hear about the challenges faced by people with physical disabilities.

    Unlike most other holidays,the history of April Fools’ Day.Sometimes called All Fools’ Day,is not totally clear.The only point in time that can be agreed on as the beginning of this tradition was 1582,in France.Before that year,the New Year was celebrated for eight days,beginning on March 25.The celebration reached the highest point on April 1.With the reform of the calendar under Charles 1X,the the Gregorian calendar(公历，阳历）was introduced,and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1.

    However,because in those days communications were not as developed as they are today,many people did not receive the news for several years.Some people refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1.These backward people were considered”fools” by other people.They were often sent on “fools” errands（徒劳无益的工作）or were made the targets of jokes.

    This developed,over time,into a tradition of playing a trick on someone on the first day of April.The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century.It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the Britain and France.April Fools’ Day thus developed into an international fun feast,so to speak,with different nationalities specializing in their own kind of humor at the expense of their friends and families.
