morning,however,she found her daughter,Mercy,nearly unconscious with twobite marks in the neck.“I didnt know that it was a snake,”Mwende said.Although snakebites are common in her hometown,antivenom medication is difficult to get.Mwende livesabout 160 kilometers east of Nairobi,Kenyas capital.So she took her daughter to a traditional healer.He placedstones over the bites.Mercy died within hours.She was one of about 700 Kenyans killed by snakebites each year,notes a report in the scientific publicationToxicon.The Kenya Snakebite Research and Intervention Center(KSRIC)is working to change that.The KSRIC hopes tohave East Africas first antivenom medication on the market within five years.It estimates the cost will be about 30percent of an imported product,which often sells for about US$30.More than 70,000 people are bitten in East Africa each year.Climate change and deforestation are worseningthe problem as snakes get pushed out of natural surroundings into populated areas.Nearly 100 snakes live at the research center in a forest near Nairobi.Researchers take venom from snakesand study it before injecting small amounts into other animals,such as sheep.The animals then create antibodiesthat can be made into antivenom.“Up to now,no one has made any kind of antivenom in Kenya,said Geoffrey Maranga Kepha,a senior snakehandler.Two effective antivenoms are available in Kenya,from India and Mexico,the center says.The center is teaching communities that using antivenom immediately after receiving a snakebite can savelives,said head researcher George Adinoh.“After seeing how people died in Kenya from snakebites I decided to devote my life to coming up with arescue measure that will help or prevent people from dying from snakebites,”snake handler Kepha added.4.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?A.By telling a story.B.By listing figures.C.By referririg to documents.D.By making a comparison.5.Why did Mwende take her daughter to a

of the danger of snakes.D.Peoples pursuit of traditional cures for snakebites.7.What do we know about antivenom in Kenya from the text?A.Itis taken from antibodies of sheep.B.There is only one effective antivenom available.C.KSRIC is trying to develop a local antivenom now.D.People refuse to use antivenom after being bitten by snakes.CChildrens average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes atage 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years,according toan analysis by researchers at the NationalInstitutes of Health(NIH).By age 8,children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they hadbeen in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early,”said Edwina Yeung,an investigator in National Instituteof Child Health and Human Development(NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉)to reduce screentime could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research,mothers of 4,000 children responded to questions on theirkids media habits when theywere 12,18,24,30,and 36 months of age.TheAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18months of age,introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly,and limiting screen time to anhour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age.In the current study,researchers found that 87%of the childrenhad screen time exceeding(超过)these recommendations.However,while screen time increased throughouttoddlerhood,by age 7 and 8,screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day.The researchers believe this decreaserelates to time consumed by school-related activities.The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen timeincreased from age 1 to age 3.The first group,73%of the total had the lowest increase,from an average of nearly51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day.The second group,27%of the total,had the highestincrease,from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day.Higher levels of parental educationwere associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.8.Who use mobile device longest according to the NIHs analysis?A.10-year-old born to first-time mothers.B.3-year-old children in low income families.C.8-year-old children in home-based childcare.D.1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.9.What does the research suggest according to Edwina?A.Parents should stop their children using media.B.Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.C.Parents should reduce their childrens screen time earlier.D.Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy(婴儿期).10.Why does childrens screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?A.They are studying at school.B.They can control themselves.C.They are tired of using them.D.They are forbidden to use them.11.Which of the following may be the best title?A.Keep Away from MediaB.Screen Habits Begin EarlyC.Urgency of Parental EducationD.Harm of Home-based ChildcareDIn the northern part ofAustin there once lived an honest family by
