　　Canadian researchers said they had developed an antibody treatment, which may be able to prevent death from Ebola virus, even for those who have been infected for three days.

　　The findings, published in the US journal Science Translational Medicine, suggested that it may be possible to develop a cure for Ebola, even after the virus is detected in the blood and disease symptoms have become apparent.

　　Although rare, Ebola virus is considered as one of the most aggressive viruses because of its rapidity of death, which can be one week from exposure, or three to four days from the time the first symptoms become apparent. “For this reason, such a treatment has been considered to be closer to the field of science fiction than contemporary scientific research,” said lead author Qiu Xiangguo at the Public Health Agency of Canada.

　　In their study, the researchers gave Ebola-infected monkeys a treatment made of three specific antibodies(抗体) in combination with interferon-alpha (a干扰素), which is produced naturally by the body to fight viruses. Once in contact with outer regions of the virus, these antibodies can reduce the ability of the virus to reproduce. At the same time, the interferon-alpha increases the defense of the infected individual by stimulating a natural but rapid and powerful anti-viral response, she said.

　　“Although we were very optimistic, we were not expecting to see 100 percent survival of Ebolainfected monkeys, when they are treated only three days before they die of the disease on average,” Qiu said. “This study shows that what seems impossible for many to develop a cure capable(有能力的) of stopping Ebola virus only a few days before death, has now been made and proven to be effective,” she added.

　　A. The new antibodies can effectively destroy Ebola virus.

　　B. The infected person usually dies if symptoms have become clear.

　　C. Interferon-alpha is more useful than the three specific antibodies.

　　D. Ebola virus mainly spreads through contact with infected monkeys.

　　As students and teachers returned to school on Monday after the publication of performance ratings(等级) for 18,000 teachers, many parents said they were giving the reports serious thought. Yet there was an equal measure of skepticism among parents that tests cores have any relationship with teachers’ competence.

　　Some said they already knew how good a teacher was by walking into the classroom or by monitoring their children’s progress. “I’m the kind of person who likes to see for themselves,” a father in Queens said.

　　Others worried about how their fellow parents, perhaps ones with sharper elbows, might respond.Will they demand a new teacher? Move their children to a new school?

　　Elizabeth Sane, the mother of a fourth grader at the Ella Baker School, a kinder garten-through-eighth-grade school on the Upper East Side, said that her daughter was switched to a different teacher’s class over the summer, and that it was “like adding salt to the wound” when she saw the high ratings for her daughter’s previous teacher. Her daughter’s teacher this year did not receive a rating because he previously taught high school.

　　Ms. Sane said that the rating was not the only factor that influenced how she assessed a teacher’s performance, but that the data used for teacher evaluations mattered.

　　But other parents dropping their children off at the Ella Baker School said they did not trust teacher ratings based on test scores any more than they wanted their children’s learning measured only by the state exams.

　　“Some people take it as the final word, but it doesn’t change who they are as teachers. The ratings aren’t accurate, and the whole student testing thing needs to be thrown out,”said Lydia Delga do, whose child is in the second grade.

　　41.Paragraph 1 tells us that_______________.

　　A. all the teachers received a rating given by the students

　　B. all the teachers will receive a rating at the end of each semester

　　C. With a stong will tosucceed.

　　D. With strong elbows physically.

　　43.Paragraph 4 shows that Elizabeth Sane .

　　A. was on the side of giving ratings to the teachers

　　Andrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be“like a magic carpet. . . You could fold it up and put it into your pocket or handbag”. Then he paused:　“But you’ll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel. “

　　It was a rare—indeed unique—occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, had a frame that split into two and a larger wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grout’s Wonderful Bag, a leather case.

　　Grout’s aim:　to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesn’t that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel:　his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycles gave him an advantage:　in Grout’s day, tyres were solid, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldn’t do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated (充气的) tyre.

　　So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆). Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.

　　Will the young Fitzsimons’s folding wheel make it into production? I haven’t the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. It’s as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago:　there’s plenty still to go for. Second, it is in the field of folding bikes that we are seeing the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than ￡1, 000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane—minus wheels, of course—as hand baggage.

　　Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchie’s imagination? No. But it’s progress.

　　1. We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .　

　　A. was portable B. had a folding wheel

　　C. could be put in a pocket　D. looked like a magic carpet

　　2. We can learn from the text that the wheels of the Grout Portable .　

　　A. were difficult to separateB. could be split into 6 pieces

　　C. were fitted with solid tyres　D. were hard to carry on a train

　　3. We can learn from the text that Fitzsimons’s invention .　

　　A. kept the tyre as a whole piece

　　B. was made into production soon

　　C. left little room for improvement

　　D. changed our views on bag design

　　4. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

　　A. Three folding bike inventors

　　B. The making of a folding bike

　　C. Progress in folding bike design

　　D. Ways of separating a bike wheel

　　As adults, some of our most memorable memories are likely to come from childhood holidays: decorating the tree at Christmas time, lighting the candles for Kwanzaa, or spending the New Year with the noisemakers. But holidays aren’t just for helping adults feel a connection with the past. They also create a structure and annual rhythm that will carry our children into the future.

　　Indeed, in a world in which children constantly are experiencing developmental, social, and academic changes, family traditions provide stepping stones that lead us from season to season, year to year. It gives children a sense of security to know how their world works, that on Christmas Eve, the family always goes to midnight mass (午夜弥撒). The songs, sights, and stories of the winter holidays also help children experience feelings of respect, feelings that aren’t often encouraged in our rather cynical (悲观的) modern culture. The time spent with loved ones also can promote a deep sense of family roots and cultural history, which in itself is key for developing a sense of belonging, well-being, and self-esteem.

　　The winter holidays are especially good for creating family-building traditions. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all in some way celebrate light, warmth, and love, and all of them provide a sense of home and hearth (壁炉边). As new parents, we begin to have our own set of customs around these holidays, and many traditions will be drawn from our past, especially at first. But with years going on, we are sure to develop original ones that suit our own particular lifestyles, children’s personalities, and personal tastes. Granted, modifying family traditions may feel like a break with the past, but they help to consider these changes as a connection with the future as well, which we transmitted to our children with all the best wishes.

　　A. Use Holidays to Develop Family Traditions
