16、 class. He delayed taking the course until his last semester“I couldnt see what biology had to do with business,” he saysbut when his enthusiastic instructor began discussing anatomy (人体学), awakened a long interest in medicine. Within an hour, Allamby knew that he would switch professions and pursue

17、 a career in healthcare.As a child, Allamby always wanted to be a doctor. But growing up in a family with six children living on welfare, a medical career seemed like a fantasy. Young Allamby quickly set aside his professional pursuit and focused instead on becoming the best auto-mechanic he could b

18、e. And hed been doing it well for the next 25 years. Yet he sold his shop once he entered medical school. Though giving up a successful career while raising a family may have seemed risky and exhausting, his wife and friends were supportive.To the 43-year-old med school student, the transition from

19、having a high level of expertise to starting all over was a challenge, but the volume and complexity of work were more demanding. “In a med school people usually pat you on the back and say Good job when you get an average grade. But to me, I almost feel like a failure because I am not used to strug

20、gling so much to make it through,” Allamby said. With enormous efforts, he routinely scored in the top of his class in exams and graduated with a Bachelor degree in 2019 at age 47.

23、le and careful.D.

24、e the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.The study was conducted at 21 strawberry fields along Californias Central Coast. It found that birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat berries without surrounding natural habitat.For the study scientists

25、looked at the analysis of 1,000 fecal (排泄物) samples from 55 bird species, combined with data from more than 300 bird surveys. They used the information to figure out what each bird was eating - be it pests, beneficial insects or crops-as well as which birds were carrying bacteria. Using this data, t

26、he scientists then ranked wild birds to see which were more likely to bring most benefits or costs to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, were ranked beneficial to farmland.But the results were more than creating a list of “good” and “bad” birds. The study found that most bird species brought bot

27、h costs and benefits to farms, depending on how the surrounding land was managed. The presence of natural habitat was the single most important factor differentiating a farm where wild birds brought more benefits than harm. And farms with surrounding natural habitat for birds constantly saw less dam

28、age and fewer bacteria problems than others.The study was part of a series of research conducted in Daniel Karps lab at University of California, Davis, all focusing on the impact and importance of maintaining natural habitat for wildlife surrounding farmland. A related study in 2020 also found that

29、 farms with natural habitat attracted more insect-eating birds and fewer strawberry-eating birds so that farmers experience less berry damage on farms with more habitat nearby.25.

30、arms reduces crop damageC. Birds in natural habitat carry more bacteria to farms.D. Farms neighboring natural habitat benefit most from birds.26.

32、mentioned in the last paragraph?A. To draw a conclusion.B. To make a comparison.C To support the research finding.D. To give background information.CAccording to scientists, biscuits can give you cancer. But dont worry, research shows that sunshine can cure cancer. Hang on. Ignore previous findings

33、that suggest it might actually cause cancer. But whatever you do, dont shave, because thats been shown to increase the risk of cancer, along with other everyday household products like hairspray baby powder and sausages. Its a wonder that any of us are still alive. According to scientists, the world

34、 we live in is a death trap.So many of my patients come to me saying how worried they are about some health scare theyve heard about in the news. Though the claims seem to be backed up by scientific evidence, even a rough look brings up contradictions and inconsistencies. Its easy to blame the journ

35、alists for twisting science to chase headlines. But Ive felt that is extremely unfair. The chilling fact is that these health stories come from scientists, not journalists. In fact, a study in the British Medical Journal found that many of the exaggerations that later made it into health reports ori

36、ginated from a press release, Over a third of the press releases, for example, made exaggerated claims of the impact of the research for humans when in fact the study was carried out on animals. A third also made exaggerated claims of causation when in fact the study found an association only. Parti

37、cularly worrying was that many of the exaggerated claims appear to have been written or at least approved by scientists themselves.But, you could argue, arent journalists to blame for not going back to the original papers and checking out the claims themselves?The fact is that journalists, like the

38、public at large, have tended to believe what the scientists have told us. Why would we ever assume theyd lie? The very nature of their job is the search for the correct answer. The problem though is that they have funding to worry about and these days, an article hitting the front page headline maki

39、ng bold claims about your research is as important for securing future funding as getting it into top medical journals is. Its also worth mentioning that every research facility or university now has a press department to do the job.I think that this is a good reason to make understanding and interp

40、reting a scientific paper a fundamental part of science in school. That way we encourage more people to examine the claims themselves and, hopefully, improve the publics understanding of basic scientific principles.Now, recent research has shown that work can increase your risk of premature death so

41、 with this in mind, Im signing off.29. What is the purpose of the first paragraph?A. To lead in the topic of the passage.B. To state the argument of the passage.C. To give vivid examples of health problems.D. To draw readers attention to common health problems.30. According to British Medical Journa

42、l, which is NOT a source of exaggerated health claims?A. Scientists write or approve the exaggerated claimsB. Press releases apply the results of animal studies to humans.C. Press releases switch claims of association to that of causation.D. Journalists bend and misinterpret scientific studies to ch

You look for your phone from time to time or you cant find the TV remote until ten minutes

45、 after a favorite show has begun. Its common and certainly annoying. But most of the time losing things simply results from absentmindedness._33_We never really store the information into memory about where weve put the object at hand, because we have other concerns occupying our attention.Luckily f

46、or the most part, people can overcome their tendency to misplace things_34_When you put something down, say its location._35_For example, you could say, “Im setting my mouse to the right of my computer.” And saying that either in your mind or out loud, focuses your attention on where you put it, inc

47、reasing the chances that youll remember its location later._36_Assign a color that you love and use key rings and phone cases of that color so that when youre scanning, youre always looking for your favorite color. You could also put reflective tape on the TV remote, which will make it easier to be found when it disappears.Be kind to yourself. Its certainly understandable if youre frustrated with your tendency to misplace things. But if you keep beating yourself up about it, you may start to think that youre losing it that theres s
