12、to have a friend like Francia Raisa. On Thursday, singer and actress Selena Gomez, 25, used Instagram to explain why she was “laying low” this summer. She posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with her friend Francia Raisa holding hands. She said she recently received a kidney transplant from
13、her best friend because of complications(并发症) from lupus(狼疮), an autoimmune disease, which means it is the result of the immune system attacking normal tissue, including the kidneys, brain, heart and lungs.People with lupus may first experience tiredness, joint pain or a little bit of rash(皮疹) on th
14、eir bodies and can go for a long time before their doctors realize it is more serious. Many people see two or four doctors before the real problem is picked up. According to Dr. Kyriakos Kirou, roughly a third to one-half of people with lupus develop kidney disease, and up to one in five of them wil
15、l eventually need a transplant, sometimes because they werent treated with effective drugs to prevent the immune system from attacking the kidneys. Though Gomez said that she was “very well now,” she warned about the dangers of not taking medical diagnoses seriously, like she initially did.Her Insta
16、gram post also called attention to two major health topics: the need for living organ donators and the fact that Gomez represents three groups more likely to be diagnosed with lupus and lupus-related kidney disease.

21、g eyes, its hard for you to go away, and you may speak out “Awww” without hesitation. However, theres a reason why you find a dogs stare so attractive. That sweet stare actually causes the release of a particular hormone, or chemical messenger in the body. This hormone creates feelings of affection
22、in humans. The same thing happens to dogs when people look back at them. Scientists believe this helps people and their four-legged friends bond, or feel connected. Scientists have wondered what causes dogs to lovingly stare at their owners. To find out, a team of researchers from Azabu University i
23、n Japan studied 30 owners and their dogs.The researchers found that after the pets and their owners spent half an hour together, both showed a rise in oxytocin (催产素). One key role of this hormone in many animals is to promote bonding, like that between a mother and newborn. The increase of oxytocin
24、didnt happen, though, when scientists repeated the experiment with wolves and the humans who had raised them.A second experiment also found that if dogs were given oxytocin, they looked at their owners longer. Scientists arent sure exactly why, but this reaction occurred only with female dogs. Their
25、 owners oxytocin levels also rose as a result.The result of these experiments might help answer an age-old question: How did the fearsome wolf ancestor of modern dogs turn into mans best friend? Takefumi Kikusui, an animal scientist who worked on the study, thinks that the change happened when dogs
26、first became domestic (驯养的).According to Kikusui, there may have been a small group of wild dogs that were naturally friendlier. “Humans are very sensitive to eye contact. By using this special communication tool, the dogs are able to win over our hearts. If they are more likely to make eye contact,
27、 it would be easier for them to bond with dog owners,” Kikusui said.1、According to Paragraph 1, people say “Awww” to _.Amake the dog stare at themBexpress their love for the dogsCdraw the dogs attention awayDwarn the dogs not to approach them2、According to the passage, oxytocin can _.Areduce animals

38、obs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身), nose rings, or certain
39、 dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies.
40、 Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal ap
