9、esents her inborn struggle with a unique blood condition and the impact it has on her life. At just 15 months old, Hallie was diagnosed (诊断) with Diamond-Blackfan anemia(DBA) , and she spent most of her life in and out of the hospital. Hallie said she relied on the singer to bring her joy. The only

10、way to survive DBA is with a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) and Hallie was eager for one. But she knew thousands of other patients were, too. So, a few years ago, she decided to do something about it, creating her own foundation, Hallies Heroes. “It started selfishly as just trying to save my life, b

11、ut then we realized theres so many other children out there that needed a bone marrow transplant.” she said. “So, so far weve tested over 8,000 people and we found over 300 matches.” After a 9-year wait, Hallie got her own match through her own foundation. The recovery was hard, but Hallie said she

12、stayed hopeful. “I would just kind of daydream.

17、gh school, my history teacher tried an experiment with a classmate known for her enthusiastic and expressive communication style. The girl had raised her hand to answer a question, and the teacher challenged her to reply while keeping her hands folded in her lap. Ive never forgotten the sight of her

18、 struggling to get her words out while her hands were restrained (限制) . We all, to some extent or another, talk with our hands. Its part of how we communicate. But as Susan Goldin-Meadow, a professor and psychologist at the University of Chicago, explains in her newest book, thats just the beginning

19、. What she discovered are an astonishing number of ways in which our hands not only help us to emphasize(or sometimes contradict) our spoken words, but they also play a vital role in how we form our ideas. As Goldin-Meadow shows, even people blind from birth use gestures. People who dont have arms w

20、ill experience a phantom (幻觉) feeling they are gesturing. We gesture when someone were talking to cant see us, such as on the phone. We gesture when were all alone, trying to compose an email. We need to gesture to make sense of the world. “Gestures and language really are a single integrated system

21、. Its not just a system that linguists study,” said Goldin-Meadow. “Theres so much information that isnt captured by our words, and by all of the conventional things that we learn from language. For that purpose, certainly as a psychologist, I think its very important to take these kinds of things s

22、eriously.”Theres a huge literature on body language. It really does convey lots of things-attitude perspective, sense of self, and more. Most of them are about how we feel, and our perception of our interaction. What the hands contributeand the face can do this, too-is not just our attitudes to the

The Chandrayaan-3 mission is the first ever to touch

26、down at the lunar south pole. Many nations and private companies have set their sights on the region because of its ice, thought to be buried in the polar craters. The natural resources are coveted because they could supply drinking water, air, and rocket fuel for future missions, ushering a new era

27、 in spaceflight. The success also means India has been one of countries who have landed a spacecraft on the moon. The victory comes four years after Indias previous mission, Chandrayaan-2, crashed. An Indian official, who watched the live stream from Johannesburg, South Africa, said, “On this joyous

28、 occasion, I would like to address all the people of the world: Indias successful moon mission is not just Indias alone. This success belongs to all humanity.”About 60 years have passed since the first unpiloted (无人驾驶的) moon landings, but touching down is still demanding. The moons atmosphere is ver

29、y thin, providing virtually no drag to slow a spacecraft down as it approaches the ground. Furthermore, there are no GPS systems on the moon to help guide a craft to its landing spot. Engineers have to make up for these shortcomings from about 239,000 miles away. Over the past four years, private co

30、mpanies and other nations have tried and failed. But perhaps now theres more hope. The Indian official said, “Im confident that all countries in the world including those from the global south are capable of achieving such a success. We can all aspire (渴望) to the moon and beyond.”12What does the und

34、ocabulary. Seeing an adult reading out the words and linking them to the shapes on the page begins to build literary building blocks that the children will use for the rest of their life. 17 It helps them build up their understanding of language as well as the wider world. 18 It boosts childrens min
