27、gram（SIMR）, and spending approximately 170 hours of the past month studying human embryonic stem cells（hESCs）（人 胚胎干细胞），I was back to square on-with only one month of my internship（实习）left. How in the world was I going to make up for lost time?As I asked myself the question, I thought back to exactly
28、 how I had spent those 170 hours working to develop the stem cells. I started my internship a little overwhelmed by the complex equipment in the lab. After I familiarized myself with the equipment, I began to find the function of PRDMI-a gene thought to control replication（复制）in hESCs. First，though，
29、I needed to make a growth medium（培 养基）for the hESCs. I painstakingly measured to the ten millionth of a liter，testing the accuracy of each measurement multiple times before finally putting it into the medium solution. After I plated the hESCs on my new medium, I waited with bated breath for the resu
30、lts. To my joy, two days later, my cells were growing very well and even outgrowing their new home. I successfully created hundreds of stable hESCs. Everything seemed to be going so well. But now“Nancy, I know taking the news the first time can be hard, but keep in mind, you probably didnt do anythi

35、 B. Stick to hope and never give up. C. Think twice before you act. D. Never miss a mistake. CAs people travelling by air become increasingly aware of their carbon footprint, flying has become not only one of the most polluting industries, but also one with the most potential to turn things around.
36、After Solar Impulse 2 completed the worlds first flight by a solar-powered aircraft in 2016, airlines and aircraft producers looked to become the first to provide a commercial plane. Bertrand Piccard, one of the pilots responsible for Solar Impulse 2s journey said, “All the clean technologies weve a
37、lready had can be used everywhere. We have to use them, not only for the environment, but also because they are profitable and able to create jobs. The following year saw many projects in the aviation（航空）field as the airline industry acknowledged the future of low-carbon transportation methods. In 2
38、017, Zunum Aero, a small aviation company which focused on delivering a range of hybrid-electric （混合电动的）planes received financial aid from JetBlue and Boeing, whist EasyJet teamed up with Wright Electric to develop battery-powered aircraft and NASA also announced its plans to develop its own electri
39、c aircraft. Orkney Islands, lying about 20 miles north of the Scottish mainland, are rich in renewable resources, especially the wind energy. Loganair, a Scottish airline, is cooperating with aviation companies to make Orkney the worlds first fully electric airline routes. However, this is never eas
40、y. Due to the limited size and weight of a battery that an airplane can carry, airplane producers are faced with a bottleneck-the continued power supply for electric airplanes. They believe the abundant wind energy in Orkney could be the key to solving it. The benefits of electric air travel transce
41、nd its low-carbon emissions. Aviation experts believe these aircrafts power source will also mean they will be less noisy, smaller, require less maintenance costs, and need a shorter runway to take off and land-this could lead to more airports in small cities and more rural areas being connected to

45、des its green footprint?A. Making plane tickets cheaper. B. Making the flying time shorter. C. Making the world more connected. D. Making the plane maintenance easier. DIndustry and educators all agree that the world needs creativity. There is interest in the field, lots of urging but very little ac
46、tion. Everyone is a bit scared of what to do next. On the question of creativity and imagination, they are mostly uncreative and unimaginative. Educators seek artificial ways to change imaginative activity into problem-solving models that end up compromising the very creativity they celebrate. Creat
47、ivity is often reduced to problem-solving. To be exact, you need imagination to solve many problems and creativity is part of what it takes. But problem-solving is far from the whole of creativity; and if you only focus creative thinking on problems and solutions, you will fall into a trap. For teaching purposes, problems are an anxious place to cultivate creativity. If you think of anyone coming up with an idea- a new song, a dance step or a joke, it isnt necessarily about a problem but rather an opportunity for the mind to e
