Paul Edward Farmer Jr. was bom on Oct. 26, 1959, in North Adams, Mass. When Paul was around 12, hisfather bought an old bus and converted it into a mobile home. Paul, his parents and his five siblings spent the nextfew yearstraveling.

One summer, he and his family worked alongside Haitian migrant workers picking oranges, listening curiouslyas they chatted to one another in Creole. Thatwas PauFs first encounter with Haiti, the country that would appealto him in his 20s and then direct him toward a career in publichealth.

After graduating from Duke University, he moved to Haiti, volunteering in Cange. He arrivedwhenHaiti's hospital systemwas so threadbarethat patients had to pay for basic supplies, like medical gloves. He said he wasreally taken aback by the situation and decided to open a different kind of clinic. Over the years, Dr. Farmer raised millions of dollars fbr an ever-expanding network of community healthfacilities.

The clinic in Haiti, at first a single room, grew over the years to a network of 16 medical centers in the country,with a local staff of almost 7,000. Among them was a teaching hospital opened in 2013. There, poor patients withdifficult diseases paid a basic fee of around $1.50 a day for treatment, includingmedication.

Partners in Health he founded with the other three also expanded into Rwanda, where Dr. Farmer helped the government restructure the country's health system, improving health outcomes in areas. Dr. Farmeralsohelpeddevelop new public health approaches in Peru, Russia and Lesotho, among otherplaces.

Over the years, he kept in touch with many of his patients. "He had a very tender heart J said Laurie Nuell, aclose friend and board director at Partners in Health. "'Seeing pain and suffering was very hard for him. It just hurthim. Tm a social worker by training. One thing I learned is about keeping a professional distance. He was different. That's the beauty ofit.“

24.What drew Dr. Farmer's interest inHaiti?

A.His school life atuniversity.

C. His curiosity about the Creole language.

25.Why did Dr. Farmer decide to open theclinic?

A.To offer accessible medicalcare.

C. To pursue his academic ambition.

B.His childhood traveling with hisfamily.

D. His work experience in the countryside.

By age 2, most kids know how to play pretend. They turn their bedrooms into faraway castles and hold make-believetea parties. The ability to make something out of nothing may seem uniquely human. Now, for thefirsttime, an experiment hints that an ape（猿）living under human care can have an imagination.

Kanzi is an ape who was raised in a lab and became a star atcommunicatingwithhumansusinggraphic symbols. Scientists wondered whether Kanzi had the capacity to play pretend ——that is, act like something is realwhile knowing ifs not. They adapted the playbook for studying young children to stage a juice party fbr Kanzi.They poured imaginary juice into two cups and then pretended to empty just one. They asked Kanzi which cup he wanted, and he pointed to the cup still containing pretend juice 68% of thetime.

To make sure Kanzi wasn't confusing real with fake 《 段 的 ），they also ran a test with actual juice. "Kanzi chose the real juice over the pretend almost 80% of the time, which suggests that he really can tell the differencebetween real juice and imaginary juice/9said Amalia Bastos, a study co-author from the University of St. Andrewsin Scotland.

But not all scientists are convinced that Kanzi is playing pretend as humans do. "There's a difference between imagining juice being poured into a cup and maintaining the pretensethatit'sreal,“saidDukeUniversitycomparativepsychologistMichaelTomasello."To be convinced of that, I would need to see Kanziactuallypretendto pour water into a container himself/' Tomasello wrote in anemail.

Manygreat apespeciesin the wild are criticallyendangered, and ifll takemore research to understandwhattheir minds are capable of. “Kanzi opened this path for a lot of future studies/9 Bastossaid.

28.What was Kanzi asked to do in the firsttest?

A.To reada playbook.B. To choose a certain cup.

C. To pour imaginary juice.D. To identify graphicsymbols.

29.Why did scientists experiment with real juice onKanzi?

A.To prove Kanzi has emotions.B. To explore Kanzi9s preference for juice.

C. To confirm Kanzi can tell realfromfake.D. To train Kanzi9s ability to makechoices.

30.Whatdoes Michael Tomasello probably agree with?

A.Imaginationequals pretense.B. Kanzi represents ape intelligence.

C. Kanzi may not havean imagination.D. This experiment benefits future studies.

31.What is the best title fbr thetext?

A.Kanzi: A Good ApePretender

C. The Mind of a Human-Raised Ape Revealed

B.The Mystery of Ape ImaginationSolved

D. A Pretend Juice Party: Ape ImaginationTested

A computer that relies on fungal （真菌的）networks to store information could one day be an alternative to the current generation of memory devices, according to research published in PLOS One.

Scientistshavebuiltworkingmemristors（T乙阻器）一 circuitryelementsthat"remember“theirpastelectricalactivity - from the root-like part of a mushroom called the mycelium. The result is a memristor with performance comparableto that of a silicon-based chip, but it has its own benefits in ways many computer components today donot.

“Being able to develop microchips that act like real brain cells means you don't need a lot of power when the machine isn't being used,“ says lead researcher John LaRocco of Ohio State University. "That canbringahuge potential advantage/9

Scientists have thought about using mushrooms as computer parts,mostlybecausefungalnetworksworkin ways similar to neural systems. They have a similar structure. And they sendinformationusingelectricalandchemical signals, just like a brain. But the fact that they aren't actually brains means some engineering is needed tomake them do what scientists need them todo.

The teamgrew themushroom myceliumunder controlled conditions. Then they dried the samples in sunlightto ensure long-term stability. Finally, they connected them to a circuit to test their performance. "We would connect electricalwiresatdifferentpointsonthemushrooms/9LaRoccosays."'Dependingonthevoltage（电压）and connectivity, we were seeing differentperfbrmances.”

The researchers achieved a performance of 5,850 Hertz, with an accuracy of 90 percent from their mushroom memristor 一 that is, it switches signals at a speed of about 5,850 times per second. The researchers also found thatas the electrical voltage increased, the mushroom's performance decreased. They were able to fix it by adding more mushrooms to thecircuit.

You're not going to have a mycelial computer any time soon. Still, the findings do suggestthatthisisapromising path fbr future research. As the researchers note in theirpaper,"Thefutureofcomputingcouldbefungal/9

32.What can be learned about working memristors built frommycelium?

A.They are shaped likereal mushrooms.B. They need less power when not working.

C. They perform much better thantraditional chips.D. They have become a new way to storeinformation.

33.Why do scientists choose mushrooms as computercomponents?

A.They have brain-likeworking networks.B. They can process information like humans.

C. They grow quickly incontrolled conditions.D. They can work with electrical signals alone.

34.Whatdo the findings on mushroommemristors show?

A.Higher voltageimproves accuracy.B. Connectivity has no influence on results.

C. They remain stable whenvoltage changes.D. Network expansion improves theirperformance.

35.What is the text mainlyabout?

A.Challenges of creating biological computerchips.

B.Advantages of mushroom-based memorydevices.

C.A comparison between fungal and neuralnetworks.

D.A breakthrough in developing bio-computingcomponents.

Our conversations define us and shape usas individuals.36Just as an expert says, “The quality of our conversations is directlytied to our personalhappiness, and to our socialand professional success.^^Whileissueslike nutrition have become a public health priority, we know very little about the extraordinary human capacity 一conversational abilities.

37We struggle to engagein dialoguewith people who are different from us. We forget to listen toothers when they speak, which is the bedrock of empathy and cooperation. We give improper responses withoutknowing it.

For this reason, we urgently need to make conversational literacy a matter of public interest. This skill enablesus to be more reflective and aware of the power of everyday conversation. It also helps us to identify and avoidharmfulconversations.38

For many in Lahore, kite flying isn't a formof60(relax). It's a competitive sport. Over time, this competition gave rise to the use of stronger, synthetic kitestring.

The provincial government banned the string tomake kite-flying63(safe). One major task fbr Basant was making surethose varieties64(transport) legally into the city from other parts of Pakistan, where productionis less regulated.

Now that Basant is officially over, according to Punjabi law, kite flying is back to being prohibited. It's
