14、 a kitchen sink between the sinks drain and the trap. The disposal unit tears food waste into pieces small enough- generally less than 2 mm in diameter- to pass through the plumbing. Surgical GlovesWilliam Stewart Halsted, M.D.(1852-1922)was a well-known US surgeon who is often called the“Father of

15、Modern Surgery”. Known for his strict adherence to sterile (无菌的)working conditions, Halsted invented rubber gloves that allowed his colleagues to lessen the transfer of germs duringtheir work.Yet the initial reason why he created them is more romantic than you would think. Knowing Carolines nursesuf

16、fered from a skin disease during her work, Halsted invented the gloves especially for her and gave them to her as a gift after their marriage.Band-AidsWhen Josephine Knight Dickson from New Jersey kept cutting herself while cooking for her family in the 1920s,her husband,Earle Dickson, stepped in.Di

22、tal content manager, came up with the idea of the Bake-OfT at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the museum had to temporarily close. At the time, Stella, like many in lockdown, found herself scrolling through social media more than usual, and noticed how people were turning to baking as a

23、 therapeutic and fun activity. I was thinking that people couldnt come to the museum and that people loved baking. How could I blend them together?” Stella told a reporter. Then Stella cooked up the idea.To participate in this years competition, bakers accessed the museums online catalog to select a

24、n artwork to reimagine and entered into one of three categories: Under-18, Amateur or Professional. Then, contestants had to upload photos of their creations to either Facebook or Instagram (or both) by May 15. The museum shared the cakes with the public on World Baking Day (May 17) through social m

25、edia stories, and the “virtual audience had 24 hours to vote for their favorites. The winner of each category received gift cards from local pastry shops.44Art can be quite conceptual. And baking is tangible - so ifs a different way to consume art,“ said an American artist. Unlike baking, art doesnt

26、 necessarily engage all the senses -you cant necessarily smell art, you cant necessarily taste art, and you definitely cant touch art. But with baking, you can do all those things and it is a nice way to bring them together.”“The competition is about having fun at heart,M Stella explained. wVVere go

27、ing through a lot of hard things right now.

In particular, the deep sleep phases become shorter and shallower with age.Researchers have shown that the brain waves characterizing deep sleep, so-called slow waves, can

31、 be improved by playing precisely timed sounds through earphones while sleeping. While this works well in the laboratory under controlled conditions, there has been no at-home solution that can be used for a time longer than just one night.As part of the SleepLoop project, researchers have developed

32、 a mobile system that can be used at home and aims to promote deep sleep through auditory （听觉的）brain stimulation.The SleepLoop system consists of a headband that is put on at bedtime and worn throughout the night. This headband contains electrodes （电极）and a microchip that can constantly measure the

33、brain activity of the sleeping person.As soon as the sleeping person shows slow waves in the brain activity, the system will set off a short auditory signal. This helps synchronize （使同步）the neuronal cells and enhance the slow waves. What makes the solution unique is that the sleeping person is not c

34、onsciously aware of this sound during deep sleep.Its the first time that the researchers, led by Caroline Lustenberger, have conducted a clinical study with this device. The study involved equipping participants, between 60 and 80 years old, with the SleepLoop system, which they were required to ope

35、rate in their own homes. The system is designed to function independently even for users with little technical experience.This worked very well. We had surprisingly little data lossand the participants rated the device as user-friendlysays Lustenberger.The participants wore the device every night fo

36、r a total of four weeks.The results showed it was indeed possible to enhance the slow waves through auditory signals during deep sleep in most participants. However, individual differences were considerable, which can be used to better predict how a given individual will respond to the auditory stim

37、ulus. The company ToSoo AG is currently working on that so that it can be competitive once it comes onto the clinical market. It*s already clear that it/ll not be freely available, but only via a doctors prescription. Z/Use of the device must be medically indicated,a researcher says.27. What did res

38、earchers of the SleepLoop project try to work out?A. How to avoid deep sleep phases decreasing with age.B. How to distinguish slow waves from other brain waves.C. How to accurately create home sleep conditions in the laboratory.D. How to continuously improve deep sleep by playing sounds at home.28.

39、What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?A. The working principle of the SleepLoop system. B. The advantages of the Sleep Loop system.C. The brain activity during deep sleep.D. The features of brain waves.3（）. What can we learn about the clinical study?A. It lasted longer than previous clinical stu

40、dies.B. It proves the new device is easy to operate.C. It collected little data due to the participants/ advanced ages.D. It required the participants to master basic technical knowledge.31. What task will Tosoo AG tackle before making the device enter the clinical market?A. Attracting more investme

41、nts.B. Reducing the cost of the device.C. Perfecting the devices performance.D. Getting medical officials, permission.DIf you stand in front of a group of kids, and start stating facts and ideas about a particular topic, like common trees found in a forest, eyes will probably glaze oven There might

42、be a few people with a particular interest in trees who remain attentive, but its likely that most will lose interest fairly quickly. But if you stand up in front of that same group of people and tell them a story, something diiTerent will happen.Researchers have now quantified the emotional benefit

43、s of a well-told tale. We know that stories can transport us to another world,“ says Guilherme Brockington, the lead author of the new paper. Earlier research suggests that stories help children process and regulate their emotions - but it was mostly conducted in a laboratory, with subjects answerin

44、g questions while lying inside MRI machines. There are few studies on psychological effects of storytelling in more commonplace scenes, such as hospitals.So investigators working in several hospitals split a total of 81 patients aged between four and eleven into two groups, matching them with storyt

45、ellers who had a decade of hospital experience. In one group, the storyteller led each child in playing a riddle game. In the other, youngsters chose books and listened as the storyteller read them aloud. Before and after these sessions, the researchers let each child spit into a tube, then asked th

46、em to report their pain levels and conducted a free-association word quiz.Based on the analysis of each tube of saliva（唾液），the researchers found children in both groups showed lower levels of the stress-related hormone （荷尔蒙）called cortisol and higher levels of oxytocin, a feel-good hormone. However,

47、 the cortisol levels of kids in the storytelling group were a quarter of those in the riddle group, and their oxytocin levels were nearly twice as high. Those who heard stories also reported pain levels dropping almost twice as much as those in the riddle group, and they used more positive words.Nex

48、t, the investigators plan to study how long these effects last. For now Brockington says the results indicate storytelling is a low-cost and extremely efficient way to help improve health outcomes.32. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 1?A. To state peoples diverse reactions to a particular topic.B. To explain the importance of eye contact in storytelling.C. To stress the magic of storytelling in grabbing attention.D. To show the difficulty of making common topics interesting.33. How does the
