7、nts.CStudents from NCCDGraduates from the high school.I love persimmons (柿子). The sweet, bright orange fruit indicates the coming of autumn in Iran, where I grew up. Persimmons cant grow just anywhere, but they do grow in California, where I now live. A few years ago, preparing to travel from San Fr
8、ancisco to Boston, I packed two persimmons, one of which I ate in the departure hall, waiting for boarding. At this point, a lady came up, asking where the fruit was purchased. She looked a bit disappointed when hearing it couldnt be gained at the airport and returned to her seat on the other end of
9、 the hall. “I can give the second persimmon away”, I thought to myself. When I offered her the fruit, she at first opposed, but when I insisted, she was visibly glad and appreciatively accepted. I went back to my seat, happy to have made someone else happy, and that, as far as I was concerned, was t
10、he end of the story.Sometime during the flight, the lady caught up with me to thank me again. She shared that she had grown up in Japan, where there was a persimmon tree in the yard of her childhood home. She now lived in Boston, where she hadnt been able to find the fruit. The taste of this persimm
11、on was precious to her, reconnecting her with memories of her relatives. Only then did the impact of this tiny act of generosity dawn on me. I am so moved to this day that the taste of the persimmon I never ate gives me more joy than all the ones I have eaten, combined.My experience is not unique. R

15、ONS DISEASE is a progressive disorder caused by the deaths of neurons(神经元) in parts of the brain. Symptoms include loss of motor control, mood disturbance and ruined sleep. Although it is incurable, early medical treatment can, however, relieve these symptoms and lengthen survival. Unfortunately, th
16、e early signs of Parkinsons vary from person to person and there is no specific test at the early stage. A study published in ACS Omega, by Chen Xing and Liu Jun at Zhejiang University, in China, describes an invention which may be able to detect Parkinsons before the beginning of the symptoms. The
17、device in question is an artificially intelligent electronic nose.The two researchers set about building this nose in 2019. That was when they heard reports of Joy Milne, a nurse, who could detect people with Parkinsons from a distinctive smell they gave off. Researchers working with her found that
18、the sebum(皮脂) of those with Parkinsons has unusually high level of certain compounds. When these are acted on by cells which live naturally on the skin, the result is the mysterious smell.This can be detected using a laboratory technique called GCMS, which is promising. Unfortunately, it is still to
19、o complex and expensive to be used daily in clinics. However, Dr. Chen and Dr. Liu invent a machine not much bigger than a toaster. It turns a sample of sebum into a steam that is then detected with sound waves. Different mixtures have different effects on the waves, and, with a bit of training, a c
20、omputer loaded with an appropriate piece of artificial intelligence can learn to recognize the pattern associated with sebum from Parkinsons patients.The researchers tested their system on samples from 43 people with Parkinsons disease and 44 who were healthy. They found it could correctly identify
21、a Parkinsons patient as having the disease about 70%. That is not yet as good as Mrs. Milnes nose. If its reliability can be improved, its potential cheapness of the system may eventually prove an advantage for the early diagnosis of the illness.8Why do the researchers develop the intelligent electr
22、onic nose?ATo aid early diagnosis.BTo cut the cost of curing.CTo offer medical treatment.DTo replace former detecting ways.9What is the key factor in making the intelligent electronic nose?AJoy Milnes working ability.BThe distinctive smell of the neurons.CThe concentration of certain compounds.DThe

24、hough it may be uncomfortable to admit, many parents play favorites among their children. Is that “bad” parenting? Having a favorite child might be the greatest taboo (禁忌) of parenthood, yet research shows that the majority of parents do indeed have a favorite.With plenty of evidence to suggest that
25、 being the least-favored child can fundamentally shape the personality and lead to sibling (兄弟姐妹) competitions, its no wonder that parents might worry about letting their preferences slip. “Data suggests that mothers, in particular, show favoritism to children who have similar values to them and tha
26、t engage more with family, over qualities such as being highly ambitious or career driven.” says Jessica Griffin, an associate professor at the University of Massachusetts.In one study, up to 74% of mothers and 70% of fathers in the UK have been shown to exhibit preferential treatment towards one ch
27、ild. Parents admitting having a favorite child showed an overwhelming preference towards the baby of the family, with 62% of parents who have several children preferring their youngest. Griffin says that a favoritism towards a youngest child is often to do with the social and emotional skills associ
28、ated with birth order as parents gain more practice in child-raising, they have a better idea of how they want to shape the childhood of the children, and what qualities are most important to pass on.“Children who grow up in families where they feel that they are treated unfairly may experience a de
29、ep sense of unworthiness,” says Griffin. “They might feel that they are unlovable in some way. But for most parents, their worries are misplaced. In fact, in most cases children might not even know that their parents prefer their sibling in the first place. In one study, a shocking four out of five
30、claimed that their sibling was favored over them a seemingly improbable statistic. Griffin argues that its perfectly OK for parents to have favorites. “The important thing to remember is that having a favorite child does not mean that you love your other children less.” Griffin says.12What does the
31、underlined word “slip” in second paragraph mean？ACause trouble.BMake no difference.CBring benefits.DBecome obvious.13Why would most parents show favoritism to the youngest?ATheir social skills are much better.BThey want to pass on more knowledge to it.CTheir childhood experience gives them more idea

Weve seen fewer friends and spent more time at home. _16_Solitude is more enjoyable if youre in control of it. In a survey, Dr. Thomas, a professor at Middlebur
