Australian researchers have discovered a way to genetically engineer rice which would provide significant health benefits to more than half the worlds population.A s
12、tudy undertaken at the University of Tasmania, published in a respected journal of the National Academy of Sciences, discovered a method to increase the resistant starch (抗性淀粉）content in rice, making it more digestible and leading to lower rate of diabetes (糖尿病）and overweight.Steven Smith, the lead
13、author of the study and a foreign expert for the Chinese government who has been appointed to work on crop improvement projects by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said increasing the higher resistant starch content gave this “designer” rice many added health benefits. “We have discovered that we ca
14、n increase the amount of resistant starch in cooked rice, which could provide health benefits for a large number of people in Asia and beyond,” Smith said in a media release on Friday. “The same approach can be adapted for use in other cereals, including wheat. Not only can it have benefits for diab
15、etes and obesity, but also for disorders of the bowel(肠）including cancer.”Rice is the main food for more than half the worlds population, providing much of the world with most of their calories. Smith said that as the rate of diabetes and obesity in Asian countries continued to grow, his “designer”
16、rice could provide a way to limit health problems.“Not only does resistant starch reduce the possibility of a sugar hit but it also reduces the appetite and promotes the growth of the healthy germs.” Smith said.Smith divides his time between the University of Tasmania and his research lab in Beijing

20、psychology professor at Stanford University, has a 13-year-old daughter who loves math and science. “It hasnt occurred to her yet thats unusual,” he says. “But I know in the next couple of years, it will.”Shes already being pulled out of class to do advanced things with a couple of other kids, who a
21、re guys. And as someone who studies human emotion for a procession, Gross says, “I know as time goes on, she will feel increasingly lonely as a girl whos interested in math and science, and be at risk of narrowing her choices in life before finding out how far she could have gone.Gross concern clear
22、ly shows what has been a touchy subject in the world of science for a long time: Why are there still so few women in science, and how might that affect what we learn from research?Women now make up half the national workforce, earn more college and graduate degrees than men, and by some estimates re
23、present the largest single economic force in the world. Yet the gender gap in science persists, to a greater degree than in other professions, particularly in high-end, math-intensive fields such as computer science and engineering.According to US Census Bureau statistics, women in fields commonly r
24、eferred to as STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) made up 7 percent of that workforce in 1970, a figure that had jumped to 23 percent by 1990. But the rise essentially stopped there. Two decades later, in 2011, women made up 26 percent of the science workforce.1、According to James G

You
28、r entire week is ruined, and 62 is what races through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number of likes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passing judgmen
29、t on others based on personality are gone, and now we judge based on how good a persons numbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another persons weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.In tod
30、ays social media consumed society,it has never been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world.A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you dont have a certai
31、n number of followers, then you arent“cool”. Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate.Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you really a
32、re. In the end.self-worth should be based on what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定义)you. You are not your numbers. You are a person-a3-D living and breath
33、ing person with ideas and creativity and love that the rigidity of numbers cannot represent. You are the things you love and the things you laugh at and the way you treat others.1、How does the author sound in Paragraph 2?ARegretful.BConservative.CDoubtful.DFriendly.2、According to the passage,teenage

But thats OK：The US rapper(说唱歌手) has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music.In 2014, in 2016, and again this year. Lamar was nominated (提名)for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out,
42、first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk,and most recently by Bruno Mars.But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamars 2017 album, Damn, to award the 30-year-old its Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. Its an amazing album that documents the real life of modem African-Americans in
43、South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.Lamars win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference toward high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So its not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever wo
44、n one in the awards 75-year history.But Lamar is not just a singer一hes clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate (阐明) larger points. His songs are About his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and
45、found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality of racial problems in the US.“Hes an artist who challenges idea,”said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster(大片) hit Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. One big theme in our film of, What does it mean to be Af
46、rican? Kendrick in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question.Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize (感同身受) .There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip-hop. But only Lamar has a Pulitzer Prize.1、What is Lamars album Damn about?AAfrican-Americans history and culture.BHardships of the African-American artists.CThe ways the US government deal with racial problems.DThe lives of modern black people in South Los Angeles.2、Why is Lamars Pulitzer Prize win significant?AHe is t
