10、en struggle to remember recently learned information, meaning they forget things like important appointments or where they left their keys. But it seems that these memories are not lost. They are still filed away in the brain somewhere; they just cant be easily accessed. Now, researchers at MIT have

11、 developed a means of getting back memories in mice suffering from Alzheimers. The method relies on a technique that uses light to control genetically modified neurons (转基因神经元). Currently it is too early to be used in human trials as it involves inserting light emitting (发光) equipment into the subje

12、cts brains, but the same principles still apply, the researchers said. “The important point is that this is evidence of concept. That is, even if a memory seems to be gone, it is still there. Its a matter of how to get it back,” said senior researcher Susumu Tonegawa. The team took two groups of mic

13、e, one genetically engineered to develop Alzheimers and one healthy. They then placed them into a room and gave them a mild electric shock. All of the mice showed fear when put back in an hour later. When placed in the room a third time several days later, the Alzheimers mice acted normally. They ha

14、d forgotten the shock. The researchers were then able to bring back the memory of the shock by activating (激活) the cells in which the memories were stored. Even when the mice were put into an unfamiliar room, they showed fear when the cells associated with the shock were activated. “Short-term memor

15、y seems to be normal, on the order of hours. But for long-term memory, these early-Alzheimers mice seem to be damaged,” said lead researcher Dheeraj Roy. “Directly activating the cells that we believe are holding the memory helps them get it back. This suggests that it is indeed an access problem to

16、 the information, not that theyre unable to learn or store this memory.”1、What can we learn about the researchers at MIT?AThey are the pioneers of brain research.BThey have used the method in human trials.CThey can cure Alzheimers using the new method.DThey can get back memories in mice with Alzheim

29、as turn gold and deep red, you can find autumn colors in parks and woodlands, in the cities, countryside, and mountains. People are wondering what these colors are for. For years, scientists have worked to understand the changes that happen to trees in the autumn. Up to now there have been different

30、 explanations for why natural selection makes autumn colors so widespread.Dr. Hamilton from Oxford University proposed that bright autumn leaves contained a message: they warn insects to leave them alone. In autumn, insects choose trees where they will lay eggs. When the larvae（幼虫）come out the next

31、spring, they feed on the trees, often with a result of destruction of the trees. Dr. Hamilton suggested that trees could ward off these insects with poisons. They could have strong defenses by letting egg-laying insects know what was in store for their eggs.Dr. Hamilton and students turned the theor

32、y into a mathematical model, which showed that warning signals could indeed drive the evolution（进化）of bright leaves. It was a first attempt to see what was out there.A research team from the University of Wisconsin gave a quite different explanation. “If you are up here in Wisconsin, by the time lea

33、ves change, all the insects that feed on leaves are gone.” Dr. Hoch said. He believed that autumn colors served mainly as protection.According to Dr. Hoch and his team, autumn colors might be able to protect the leaves from sun damage or frost（冰冻）injuryin other words, they actually act as a sunscree

34、n to avoid the destruction to the leaves. Besides, autumn colors might protect the leaves from water loss. If the cells in the leaves become dry, the connections between the cells will be weakened and leaves will break off.Although there are different explanations about autumn colors, it has really

35、given them a deeper concern for this time of year. “People sometimes say that science makes the world less interesting by just explaining things away,” one famous biologist said. “But with autumn leaves, the more you know about them, the more amazed you are.”1、According to Dr. Hamilton, there is a c

I think it will be a good idea to learn now because I have plenty of free time and am earning a little mone

39、y to pay for lessons. I never learnt when I lived in the UK, so luckily driving on the “wrong” side isnt a problem.However, there are a lot of rules to remember. When you see a road to your right and there are no white lines on the ground, the cars to your right have the right to go before your car

40、and you have to stop for them. In practice, lots of people forget this and cars either wait for each other while both drivers try to remember what to do, or beep (鸣喇叭) at each other if both try to go at the same time!When you drive round a roundabout, you should check all your mirrors. To remember h

41、ow to do this, I often count them aloudone, two, threethen a second glance at your blind spot when youre in the roundabout. One friend came driving with me and after about an hour asked why on earth I was counting. He had passed his test so long ago, he couldnt remember ever having to check three mi

42、rrors!Driving still seems scary to me so I drive quite slowly. I also dont know the countryside roads very well and dont know whats coming up round the comer or over the next hill. I drive slowly so I feel safe, but my driving instructor tells me to speed up or cars will bump into me from behind or

43、try to overtake somewhere dangerous. So driving slowly is just as dangerous as driving fast!Im not a very practical person so learning to drive has been a challenge. I dont have a lot of confidence and find it quite demotivating to do something that doesnt come naturally to me. To make driving more

44、fun and interesting, I learn in Swiss German, so my instructor gives me instructions in Swiss. This way Ive tricked myself into enjoying driving and hopefully will pass the test!1、What can be inferred from the first paragraph?AIt isnt a proper time for the author to take driving lessons now.BDriving

On December 29, just three days after OBrady arrived, the British explorer finished

51、his adventure, becoming the worlds second person to complete the solo crossing of the frozen continent.Rudd was not disappointed at being second since he never considered it to be a “race”. Besides, the 49-year-old British Army Captain had a more selfless motive for attempting the feat. He was doing

52、 it in memory of his friend Henry Worsley, who had introduced him to polar exploration. The disaster happened while Worsley was trying to cross the continent alone in 2016. Rudd said, I didnt want to get drawn into a race. All that mattered to me was that I completed it, and that I skied solo and un
