ago. its made up of 118 tiny islands in the adriatic sea. the area, however, may be in over its head. but now scientists have a new plan to save the city.because the city was built on soft soil, it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight. scientists estimate that venice sinks at a rate of nearly 2 inches every 100 years. rising sea levels could make venice go under even faster, some experts say. earths temperature is slowly increasing. that is causing sea ice to melt, which makes the worlds waters rise, they say.to keep the city afloat, experts want to pump about 40 billion gallons of sea water beneath venice. the liquid would expand the sand under the city, which would help support the islands, explains lead scientist giuseppe gambolati.experts are rushing to save

by-standers, it was found that some people keep on walking.there is a tendency to decide that no action is needed, says a psychologist, in order to take action, you have to work against them. here are some common thoughts that stop you from helping.why should i be the one? im probably not the most able person in this crowd. you might think someone older or with more medical knowledge should offer assistance.what if he doesnt really need my help? the fear of embarrassment is powerful; no one wants to risk looking foolish in front of others.no one else looks concerned. we can follow the people around us, but most people tend to hold back their emotions in public.if you spot trouble and find yourself explaining inaction, force yourself to stop and evaluate the situation instead of walking on, says the psychologist. then retry to involve other people; you dont have to take on the entire responsibility of being helpful. sometimes its just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, it looks like we should do something. or asking someone if an ambulance has been called and, if not, to call for one. once you take action, most people will follow you.66. according to a study of by-standers, what will some people do when a man ahead falls down on the sidewalk?a. they will call 110. b. they will offer help.c. they will go on walking. d. they will laugh at him.67. which is not the common thought that stops you from helping others?a. im not the very capable person. b. it looks like we should do something.c. no one else is concerned. d. he doesnt really need my help.68.

the first thoughts that stop you from offering help69. we learn from the last paragraph that if we spot trouble, .a. we should call the ambulance as soon as we canb. we should turn away in no timec. we should stop and try to make other people help togetherd. we should take on the whole responsibility70. the main purpose of the passage is to tell readers .a. to give others a hand b. to be more

science competition in the world. the maryland teenager is the youngest winner of the $ 75,000 prize. he was chosen from among 1,500 students in 70 countries.jack andraka invented a test for pancreatic cancer（胰腺癌）. he started to learn it after losing a close family friend to the disease. i went on the internet and i found that 85 percent of all pancreatic cancers are found late, when someone has less than a 2% chance of survival, he says, and i was thinking, thats not right. we should be able to do something. he found that early discovery is important to increasing the chances of surviving the disease.the maryland teenager asked to work in a laboratory at johns hopkins university in baltimore and was allowed. there he developed a simple paper test, which can recognize the disease in a single drop of blood. his test has proven correct 90% of the time. it also is 100 times more sensitive than other tests. it costs 3 cents per test, and then it takes only 5 minutes to run, he said.jacks success wouldnt have been possible without anirban maitra, a professor at johns hopkins. he was the only person among the 200 researchers jack wrote to who showed interest in his project. i was very surprised that this was a 15-year-old boy who was writing this. i wanted to meet this clever young man and see what he wanted to talk about and so i called him over for an interview. jack worked in professor maitras laboratory, completing his project in 7 months. the government has given the maryland teenager patent rights to the pancreatic caner test. he is now talking with companies about developing the test into a simple product.whatever happens, t
