18、rican-American mother and her two children travel to collect her white husband as hes released from jail.Neither the mother, Leonie, nor the father, Michael, are ideal parents. Leonie in particular is so full of anger and regret that she takes out her unhappiness on her children, the 13-year-old Joj
19、o and his little sister Kayla.The telling of the story is divided between various narrators. Jojo, the boy, is the most sympathetic of them. But it is worrying to read about how he experiences the world. Even though hes young, hes already experienced the dark side of life. The opening sentence of th
20、e book gives a sense of Jojos unnatural maturity“I like to think I know what death is. I like to think that I could look at it straight.”But who, or what, is to blame for these sad circumstances? For Ward, its clearly the past. She admires the work of fellow novelist William Faulkner. When she think
21、s about the past, shes of the same mind as him.Faulkner famously wrote, “The past is never dead. Its not even past.” At one point, Ward says that her characters are “pulling the past with them.” like a too-heavy trailer(拖车) coupled to the car, as they journey on through Mississippi to the jailhouse.
22、 The biggest part of this past, of course, is racismthe remains of slaverywhich is always there, and ruining life.This is probably why The Washington Post listed Sing, Unburied, Sing as one of its 10 choices of 2017s Best Books. “The misery of this one family is tied to crimes that stretch over deca

26、countries, cigarette packages display images or texts that warns smokers of the increased risks of heart attacks, cancer and so on that accompany lighting up. Many of these risks are associated with the inhalation of tobacco smoke through the mouth. But what is less often spotlighted is the effect s
27、moking can have on the surface of the eyes.Smoking has been tied to age-related blindness and severe vision loss worldwide. But these changes occur in inner regions of the eye. Now researchers have discovered how cigarette smoke and aerosols (气溶胶) from heated tobacco devices also kill cells in the e
28、yes most exposed layer: the cornea (眼角膜).In the new study published online in September, Otsu and his colleagues reported that the compounds in cigarette smoke kills cells in a critical outer layer of corneal tissue called the corneal epithelium (角膜上皮).The researchers exposed lab-grown corneal epith
29、elium cells to cigarette smoke extract a solution (溶液) that contains most of the ingredients inhaled by cigarette smokers. They found that after 24 hours of exposure, more cells died in the containers compared with cells that were not exposed to smoke or tobacco. Taken together, these signs indicate
30、d that exposing corneal cells to the tobacco products had caused a form of cell death.It starts when compounds in the tobacco products make contact with the corneal cells, which leads ferritin (铁蛋白) inside the cells to start breaking down and releasing stored iron, Otsu explains. Some of this iron s

Normally the cells repair systems can cope with these chemicals, but when too many accumulate, they damage fats in cells, triggering the cells to die.Because the study involved cell cultures rather than live human eyeballs, the resea

36、like some people are born with a good sense of direction while others are always getting lost._16_ You can improve your sense of direction. You just need to work at it.Nowadays, of course, its convenient to rely on GPS rather than commit a long, complex route to memory._17_ Studying a larger map and
37、 remembering the route before you set out does have its benefits. The amount of mental energy it requires means its more likely to stick in your mind. Looking at Google Maps on a big screen or even studying a paper map also allows you to get a sense of that all-important bigger picture and how every
38、where fits together._18_ Its also important to notice whats around you in all directions. Instead of staring straight ahead, make sure you look up, down and behind you as well.

Besides, getting l
40、ost is one of the best ways to discover new places and add more detail to that evergrowing mental map, both of which will help you have a better sense of direction in the long term. Your sense of direction is a use-it-or-lose-it skill. If you only stick to the routes you already know, its never goin

42、 usually takes much practice.GBut ignore it if you really want to improve your sense of direction.三、完形填空Nearly eight years ago, I was told that I had brain cancer, and this experience changed my attitude about_21_completely.
