I almost tried to search for her a few years ago after talking to a friend who had indicated that the 1
18、990s had been pretty rocky for Marci. So meeting her at the baseball game was really out of expectation.We spent a few minutes talking about our lives-the good old, bad old days. Then Marci grew quiet for a moment. “You know, Joe,” she said, “Ive always wanted to tell you. how. how sorry I am for th
19、e way I treated you. You must have been hurt both physically and mentally.” I was a little embarrassed.

25、nt of a Baseball Game B. Relief of Finding a FriendC. Mental Burden of a Woman D. Miracles of Forgiveness CPatients in the early stages of Alzheimers disease often struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys.
26、 But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just cant be easily accessed.Now, researchers at MIT have developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimers. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control g
27、enetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subjects brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said.“The important point is that this is evidence of the concept. That is,
28、 even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. Its a matter of how to get it back,” said the senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa.The team took two groups of mice, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimers and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric s
29、hock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimers mice acted normally. They had forgotten the shock.The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the m
30、emories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated.“Shortterm memories seem to be normal in order of hours. But for longterm memories, these earlyAlzheimers mice seem to be damaged,” said the lead researc
31、her Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to the information, not that they are unable to learn or store this memory.”28. What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?A. They can
32、get back memories in mice with Alzheimers.B. They can cure Alzheimers using the new method.C. They are the pioneers of brain research.D. They have used the method in human trials.29. Why did the Alzheimers mice behave normally the third time?A. They were accustomed to the situation.B. They managed t
33、o overcome the fear.C. They failed to remember the electric shock.D. They activated the association automatically.30. For longterm memories, the earlyAlzheimers mice _.A. cant learn new tricks well B. can transform their brain cellsC. cant access the information stored D. can easily get back their m
34、emories31. Whats the main purpose of the text?A. To introduce a method of a research.B. To explain how a brain stores information.C. To give advice on how to improve memories.D. To report the latest discovery about a disease.DEvery year, billions of kilograms of fresh produce are wasted in the Unite
35、d States. Meanwhile, millions of poor Americans go hungry, without access to healthy, affordable meals.Evan Lutz is enthusiastic about correcting that social injustice. And he combines that goal with enthusiasm for business. Lutz is CEO and founder of Hungry Harvest, a business which collects and se
36、lls “ugly” produce. These are fruits and vegetables that most food companies would throw away. More than six billion pounds are wasted each year due to surface imperfections. “So Ill give you an example.” Lutz says, “If you go to a grocery store you will see all the produce line-up shiny, perfect, o
37、f the same size and color. But on a farm, everything doesnt grown the same way. So all that stuff that doesnt grow the same way often gets thrown out. And what we do is take all that normally gets thrown out because of its odd size or shape, box it up and deliver it to our customers once a week.” Fo
38、r Evan Lutz, giving back to others came from his upbringing. “When I was growing up my parents taught me the values of giving back, and giving is a lot more powerful than receiving. We sell produce with a purpose and that doesnt just mean we reduce food from going to waste. We hire people that were
39、formerly in prison or were formerly injured or sick living in homeless shelters. They really wanted to get back on their feet for a second chance in life.” Evan Lutz is really happy to be realizing great mission that he thinks can really revolutionize the food industry in America.32.

43、 throws a lot at us at times. There are circumstances that make us feel stuck and try to find an escape. Despite whats happened or where you are right now, you can live a happy life on your terms. 36 Here are three choices that can lead you to whatever a happy life means to you.1. Ending a Terrible
44、Relationship or Moving Forward in a Good OneJust like our work, our relationships also have a powerful effect on our life. 37 Relationships are hard because love is involved, and love is rarely rational. It can also be more than romantic relationships; any that are terrible can rob us of happiness.
45、We have to make a choice to remove negativity from our lives in any form. If you have good relationships, make the choice to do the work it takes to grow together.2. 38 Its not easy to do things that frighten us or that were not used to.
