But the movie Wonder (奇迹男孩) shows us that there is no such things as being normal and that beauty is more than skin-deep.Based on a bestselling novel, the movie is about a boy named Auggie. He has a facial deformity (面部畸形). He has spent most of his life being home-schooled. But as he enters middle school, his parents decide to send him to a private school.

But it could happen in the near future. Canadian biophysicist, Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future. Scientists have been trying to grow organs( 器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard Job. For example, liver cells( 肝细胞)can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels( 血管) to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架) In the past, scientists have used manmade materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive. Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy to use scaffold. They first out an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apples cells and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple and watched it growYou can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive, “Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech. The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouses cells slowly took over the pieces of apple. Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use,He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(芦苇) could fix a broken spine(脊柱). Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality34 . Pellings idea of manmade ear seems crazy because he used _ as scaffolds.Aanimal partsBdead peopleCmanmade materialsDordinary apples35 . The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means _.ApickBputCproduceDprotect36 . Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passagea. Put the apple scaffold inside a mouse. b. Add human cells to the apple scaffold. c. Cut an apple into the shape of an ear. d. Make the apple ear a scaffold. e. Take out the apples cells in a special way.AabcdeBbedaeCcedbaDcdaeb37 . From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetables _.Ato make human earsBto repair burnt skinCto fix a broken spineDto make human body partsIf you travel around the world, you will be surprised to find that some foreign customs can be so different from your own.A visitor to India would remember that people there think it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is used for washing yourself. Also in India, when you see a man shaking his head, you may think he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a shake of the head shows agreement or acceptance. Nodding your head when you are offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty. In that country you shake your head to say yes-a nod means no. The Arabs are famous for their hospitality(好客). At a meal in the Arabic countries, you will find that any drinking vessel(器皿) is filled again and again as soon as you drain it. The way to show that you have had enough is to take the cup or glass in your hand and give it a little shake from side to side or place your hand over the top.In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting talking to someone, even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however, could make him or her unhappy. It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand you are not supposed to touch the head of an adult- its just not done. In Japan, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainment for themselves and leave their wives at home. In Europe such attitudes are disappearing.Customs differ from country to country. Visitors may be at a loss as to what to do in a foreign environment. Remember the rule: when in Rome, do as the Romans do.38 .
