12、 helping with dinner, asking my mom about my brother's doctor's appointment. They were testing him for autism(自闭症)。My brother, Captain, four years old at the time, had always been my best friend. We would wrestle, play games and have the best of times together, even though we were far apart

13、in age. My mom told me about the appointment, but when she got to the point about the test, she stopped. I turned around and she had tears in her eyes. I stared at her, wishing she would say something, when I realized what that silence meant. My eyes got blurry(模糊的) and my breathing got very ragged.

14、 “The test was positive, sweetheart,” she said. I broke down, crying.My mom was trying to cool me down, saying that Captain couldn't see me like this and I had to be a big girl, when the front door opened, and Captain, our three-year-old sister Cali, and my father came in. I walked out of the ki

15、tchen. I couldn't look at him. Everything had just changed. He was no longer that little baby brother who was just a normal little boy.We had to move a while later because Captain needed treatment. One day, I was standing in the bus line waiting when “short bus” came and picked some kids up. The

16、 children in the other line started making jokes about the “retards(智力迟钝着)” on that bus and I felt a strange feeling in my stomach, which I had never felt before.During a band class, my teacher, Mrs. Young, stopped our playing to give us some feedback. “Guys, we're playing like the kids on the s

17、hort bus! Come on!” I felt that same feeling I had in the bus line. The entire room was laughing when I raised my hand.“Yes, Alexis?” Mrs. Young asked.“I don't think we should make fun of the short bus, because there are a lot of people on that bus who have great personalities and have the same

18、feelings as we do. And also, I know some people on those buses and they are some of the most caring, sweetest, and smartest people, so I would appreciate it if you didn't make fun of them.”Everyone stared at me.

21、ding24. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Speaking up.B. Giving up.C. Looking up.D. Taking up.BCaffeine not only gives us a daily jump start, but new research suggests it also can strengthen long-term memory.According to the US food and Drug Administration, nearly 90

22、percent of people worldwide consume about 200 milligrams of caffeine each day. That's equivalent to about one strong cup of coffee a day. Writing in “Nature Neuroscience”, Johns Hopkins University researchers say their findings show that caffeine strengthens certain memories for up to 24 hours a

23、fter being taken in.“We've always known that caffeine has cognitive-enhancing effects(督促效果), but its particular effects on strengthening memories and making them resistant to forgetting has never been examined in detail in humans,” said senior author of the paper Michael Yassa. “We report for th

24、e first time a special effect of caffeine on reducing forgetting 24 hours.”Conducting a double-blind trial, the researchers worked with a test group of people who didn't regularly consume caffeinated products. Five minutes after studying a series of images, the test subjects were given either a

25、placebo(无效对照剂) or a 200-milligram caffeine tablet.To check the caffeine level of their test subjects, the research team took saliva samples(唾液样品) from them before they took their tablets and again one, three and 24 hours afterwards.Both groups of test participants (those who took the placebo and tho

26、se who took the caffeine tablet) were tested the following day to see if they could recognize the images they'd seen the previous day.The test included showing the test subjects another series of images that included some new images, those that were shown the previous day, as well as other image

27、s that were similar, but not the same as those they had viewed earlier.Researchers found that more members of the group who were given the caffeine tablets were able to correctly identify some of the new images as “similar” to previously viewed images rather than incorrectly identifying them as the

28、same.“We also know that caffeine is associated with health and longevity(长寿) and may have some protective effects from cognitive decline like Alzheimer's disease(阿尔茨海默症).” said Yassa.25The purpose of the new research is .A. to survey how much caffeine people consume a dayB. to write the paper “N

32、rmful effects of cognitive decline.COne of the most famous basketball-players in the New Castle's history was paralyzed(瘫痪的) in a wheelchair one dayand was walking the next. Citizens of New Castle simply refer to it as “The Miracle”.Joel Haler woke up in his dorm room at Hope College last Octobe

33、r totally paralyzed from the waist down. Four hospitals later, the only way he could walk was through Robotic Walking Treatment.“This past Tuesday, I was doing the Robotic walk and lasted ten minutes,” Joel said. After that, he gave up. Joel wanted to accept the inevitable(不可避免的) and cancelled his n

34、ext Robotic Walking Treatment appointment.Then, the night before his cancelled appointment, he woke up to a terrible pain. An hour and a half later, the serious pain left him with an unusual feeling in his legs.“As it continued to move up my legs, it became more and more painful and it took an hour

36、ren remembered.“I burst into tears. It's hard seeing your son not be able to walk, but he was standing there, walking,” Joel's father Eric said, tearfully.It was Thursday, January 23, when he could finally walk. That date made perfect sense to Joel. He had dreamt of a calendar that only said
