34、ie Star.C. The Trainer and Her Star Dog.D. Shelbys Hard-luck and miserable Story.DImagine a way to produce meat without killing animals. Instead of raising livestock on farms, Uma Valeti, a cardiologist, and co-founder ofUpside Foods, dreamed of a way to “grow” meat by cultivating (培养) animal cells
35、(细胞).The idea for whats now called “cultivated” meat came to Valeti when he was working with heart attack patients at the Mayo Clinic more than 15 years ago, growing human heart cells in a lab. It should be possible to grow meat with similar science, he realized. Scientists could take cells from an
36、animal by a needle biopsy (切片检查), place them in tanks, feed them the nutrients they need to reproduce, including fats, sugar, amino acids and vitamins, and end up with meat.It has taken years of experimentation by a crew of biologists, biochemists and engineers to turn that idea into a product ready
37、 to eat. Now the company is awaiting a greenlight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin selling its first cultivated meat products, including a chicken fillet (without bone).After four years of talks with regulators at the FDA, Valeti expects this could happen “in the very near future
38、.” When it does, Upsides production facility in Emeryville, California, will be able to produce over 50,000 pounds of cultivated meat products per year.For Valeti, the potential benefits of cultivated meat are too important not to try to overcome the current obstacles. He sees a future with a better
39、 choice to the current system of producing meat, and hes determined to create it. Valeti says, at last, as a doctor he might have been able to help a few thousand patients during his career. But, by taking the great step to cultivated meat, with its potential promise to surpass meat production, he b
40、elieves he can have a larger impact. “This could literally affect billions of human lives and save potentially trillions of animal lives,” Valeti says.32. What made Valeti come to the idea of making cultivated meat?A. His heart attack patients inspiring advice. B. The inspiration from growing human
41、heart cell. C. His dreaming about a way to grow meat. D. The thought of helping his heart attack patients.33. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The company is waiting for the permission from FDA. B. The idea of cultivated meat turned into a product easily. C. Chicken fillets will be very popula

44、t or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals. 36 By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what weve been through.How does memory work?Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stay
45、s in your brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years. 37 Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term.
46、 Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. 38 Why are memories important?Memories tell you the story of your
47、self. Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. 39 “If I miss seeing my grandparents, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.” Heidi, 12, told The Week.40 When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talk
