21、 Brown. McGee drove more than 500 miles to Ferguson to personally deliver the 30 pies she had made in the same year. The next year, she shipped more to Charleston, South Carolina, where nine worshippers had been shot dead at the Mother Emanuel AME Church. After two years, McGees pies comforted those

22、 in and around Minneapolis after police officers fatally shot Jamar Clark and Philando Castile. “Looking at those who are in suffering, I am in sorrow. Im looking forward to comforting them.

It has yet to reach its full size and strength, and its owner his or her full intelligence; but at this age the likelihood of

27、death is least. Earlier, we were infants and young children, and consequently more vulnerable (易受伤害的), later, we shall undergo a progressive loss of our vigor and resistance which, though unnoticeable at first, will finally become so steep that we can live no longer, however well we look after ourse

28、lves, and however well society, and our doctors, look after us.This decline in vigor with the passing of time is called ageing. It is one of the most unpleasant discoveries which we all make that we must decline in this way, that if we escape wars, accidents and disease we shall eventually “die of o

29、ld age”, and that this happens at a rate which differs little from person to person, so that there are heavy odds in favor of our dying between the ages of sixty-five and eighty. Some of us will die sooner, a few will live longeron into a ninth or tenth decade. But the chances are against it, and th

30、ere is a virtual limit on how long we can hope to remain alive, however lucky and robust we are.Normal people tend to forget this process unless and until they are reminded of it. We are so familiar with the fact that ma ages, that people have for years assumed that the process of losing vigor with

31、time, of becoming more likely to die the older we get, was something self-evident, like the cooling of a hot kettle or the wearing-out of a pair of shoes. They have also assumed that all animals, and probably other organisms such as trees, or even the universe itself, must in the nature of things “w

32、ear out”.Most animals we commonly observe do in fact age as we do, if given the chance to live long enough; and mechanical systems like a wound watch, or the sun, do in fact run out of energy in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics (whether the whole universe does so is a moot point at p

33、resent). But these are not analogous (类似的)to what happens when man ages. A run-down watch is still a watch and can be rewound. An old watch, by contrast, becomes so worn and unreliable that it eventually is not worth mending. But a watch could never repair itself it does not consist of living parts,

34、 only of metal, which wears away by friction. We could, at one time, repair ourselveswell enough, at least, to overcome all but the most instantly fatal illnesses and accidents. Between twelve and eighty years we gradually lose this power, an illness which at twelve would knock us over, at eighty ca

35、n knock us out, and into our grave. If we could stay as vigorous as we are at twelve, it would take about 700 years for half of us to die, and another 700 for the survivors to be reduced by half again.28Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?AOur first twelve years represent the peak of huma

36、n development.BPeople usually are unhappy when reminded of ageing.CNormally only a few of us can live to the eighties and nineties.DPeople are usually less likely to die at twelve years old.29The word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph Two refers to .Aremaining alive until 65Bremaining alive aft

39、eclared a war on paper textbooks. “Over the next few years, he said in a speech at the National Press Club, “textbooks should be abandoned. In their place would come a variety of digital-learning technologies, like e-readers and multi-media websites.Such technologies certainly have their place. But

40、Secretary Duncan is threatening to light a fire to a tried-and-true technology that has been the foundation for one of the great educational systems on the planet. And while e-readers and multi-media may seem appealing, the idea of replacing an effective learning platform with a widely hyped (炒作) bu

41、t still unproven one is extremely dangerous,An expert on reading, Maryanne Wolf, has recently begun studying the effects of digital reading on learning, and s0 far the results are mixed. She worries that Internet reading, in particular, could be such a source of distractions for the student that the

42、y may cancel out most other potential benefits of a web-linked, e-leaning environment, and while its true that the high-tech industry has sponsored considerable amounts of research on the potential benefits of Web-based learning, not enough time has passed for longitudinal (纵向的) studies to demonstra

43、te the full effects.In addition, digital-reading advocates claim that lightweight e-books benefit students backs and save schools money. But the rolling backpack seems to have solved the weight problem, and the astonishing costs to equip every student with an e reader, provide technical support and

44、pay for regular software updates promise to make the e-textbook a very pricey choice.As both a teacher who uses paper textbooks and a student of urban history, I cant help but wonder what parallels exist between my own field and this sudden, wholesale abandonment of the technology of paper.32What do
