9、kends walking through snow in the 330 acres of woods around her house “tapping“ trees. Abbys family are sugar makers. For five generations, her family have collected sap from maple trees. They boil it down into the thick sweet syrup that North Americans love to apply on their pancakes.Abbys dad, Jas

10、on drills holes 1.5 inches deep into the trunks of maples in the woods. Sugar makers tap only older trees. These are usually at least 40 years old and 10 inches thick at chest height. They stick a tap into each hole, usually one per tree. Taps made of plastic are used for sap to flow through. They w

11、ill come out at the end of the season, and the holes will return to health.Plastic tubes hook up to the taps and connect them to one another. The sap flows into a collection tank in the woods. From the collection tank, the Gagnes pump the sap into a ma-chine to remove a lot of the saps water.Then it

12、s moved into an evaporator in a building called “sugar house”. The Gagnes make a fire out of maple wood chips. The fire heats the sap and boils it. When it reaches 219 degrees, the syrup is ready to be made.Syrup is poured into glass or plastic bottles. But 150 years ago, sugar makers used tin cans.

13、 These containers could prevent syrup from seeping out and allowed them to ship it far from home and helped maple become a big business.Sugar makers should thank native Americans for their knowledge. White settlers as early as 1600s learned the craft from the Ojibwe and other tribes. Early native te

14、chniques were similar to those sugar makers use now except that they collected sap in bark bowls before boiling it over an open fire. Either way, the resulting maple syrup was, and is tasty.4.

17、through the 2010s and pessimism clouds them now. People wonder how they will pay debts piling up during the pandemic and how they can grow rapidly. The freshest answer to this problem is the fast-spreading digital revolution. The worlds largest emerging market has already demonstrated the enormous e

18、ffects of digital technology. As Chinas old industries have slowed sharply over the past decade, the booming technology industry has kept the economy growing steadily.Now Chinas emerging market peers are getting a push from the same digital engines. Since 2014, more than 10,000 tech firms have been

19、launched in emerging markets-nearly half of them outside China. From Bangladesh to Egypt, it is easy to find entrepreneurs who worked for Facebook or other US giants before coming home to start their own companies.How can it be that the emerging market countries are adopting common digital technolog

20、ies faster than the richer countries? One explanation is habit and its absence. In societies filled with stores and services, customers are often comfortable with the providers they have and slow to abandon them.

27、Is Around the CornerDigital Technology Will Save Slow Emerging MarketsA study led by Plana-Ripoll, a doctor at Aarhus University in Denmark, tries to deal with a fundamental question that has bothered researchers for more than a century-what exactly causes mental illness?In the hope of finding the a

28、nswer, scientists have piled up a large amount of data over the past decade, through studies of genes and brain activity. They have found that many of the same genes underlie seemingly distinct disorders and that changes in the brainsdecision-making systems could be involved in many conditions.The r

29、esearchers are also rethinking theories of how our brains go wrong. The idea that mental illness can be classified into distinct, separate categories like “anxiety“ has been disproved to a large extent. Instead, recently theyve found that disorders shade into each other, and there are no hard dividi

30、ng lines.The researchers are trying to understand the biology that underlies mental illness. They have a few theories. Perhaps there are several dimensions of mental illness, so depending on how a person scores on each dimension, they might be more likely to have some disorders than others. An alter

31、native idea is that there is a single factor that makes people easier to suffer from mental illness in general. What disorder they develop is then determined by other factors. Both ideas are being taken seriously though the former one is more widely accepted by the researchers.The details are still

32、unclear, but most researchers agree that one thing is specific: The old system of categorizing mental disorders into neat boxes does not work. They are also hopeful that, in the long run, replacing this framework with one that is grounded in biology will lead to new drugs and treatments. The researc

33、hers aim to reveal, for instance, the key genes, brain regions and neurological processes involved in psychopathology（精神病理学）,and target them with treatments. Although it might take a while to get there, they are long-term optimistic if the field really does its work.12. What aspect of mental illness

The theory of genetic influences.B. The belief of brain abnormalities.C. The concept of multiple dimensions.D. The idea

36、 of the determined risk factor.15. What can we learn about mental illness from the text?A. Hunting for its biology might help.B , Its genes are too complex to study.C.
