19、 world seems to go against you, and the last thing you want to hear is Cheer up!Still, therere a couple of things you might not notice about your situation.

22、o it to yourself.Stop comparing yourself to another person and youll realize that youre very more awesome than you give yourself credit for.Last, failure isnt where the game stops.

23、ality of life goes down terribly. Youve given up on it, though, because you dont see the point (since you failed the first time).Now, youre an adult. The things you are trying are much more complicated than five-year-old you. However, your behavior shouldnt change in the slightest-when you fail in s

24、omething, thats just more information in your data bank. You know that method doesnt work, so try another one! And another one after that! Do this until you figure it out.

28、. According to Science Daily, there were two universal vaccines developed by an international team of scientists: a USA-specific vaccine with coverage of 95 percent of known U. S. influenza(流感） strains and a universal vaccine with coverage of 88 percent of known flu strains globally.“Every year we h

29、ave a round of flu vaccination, where we choose a recent strain of flu as the vaccine, hoping that it will protect against next years strains. We know this method is safe, and that it works reasonably well most of the time,” Dr Derek Gatherer of Lancaster University said in a statement.“However, som

30、etimes it doesnt work一as in the H3N2 vaccine failure in winter 2014 一2015 一 and even when it does it is extremely expensive and labour -intensive. Also, these annual vaccines give us no protection at all against potential future flu. ”State News Flu explains vaccines work by exposing the immune syst

31、em “to proteins on the exterior of influenza viruses that have been caused to be harmless”.The vaccines prepare the immune system to be ready once it has come across the particular virus included in the vaccine by developing antibodies(抗体）to fight them off.Recalling the 1918 Influenza, also called a

32、s the Mother of All Pandemics(大流行）,the scientists note that it is important to develop vaccines to avoid massive deaths.The 1918 Influenza, as stated by Stanford killed somewhere between 20 and 40 million people, more than the number of deaths during the World War I.Dr Gatherer said:“It doesnt have

33、to be this way. Based on our knowledge of the flu virus and the human immune system, we can use computers to design the elements of a vaccine that gives much broader and longer -lasting protection.”Meanwhile, the scientists are still looking for partners for a laboratory proof of principle test.28.W

37、r less” like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri, the star nearest to our solar system.What do we know about this exciting new Earth? Well, Proxima b, or Earth II as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its years only take 11 days. Also, since it is so much closer to its red

38、 dwarf(矮小的)star than we are to the sun, the sky on its world is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect.There are a lot of questions for life forms that could live on this new planet. As the Chicago Tribune wrote in an article: “First, as reporter Lois Lane asked Superman in

39、 the first movie, do you eat? Do you have poetry? Do you have any interest in visiting other worlds? If so, put Earth on your Must See list. ”The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the US space postcards from its Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11

40、 space probes(探测器),sent up into space in 1972 and the next year.Included with the probes were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. Gold records were also sent up into space on Voyager probes in 1977. If aliens on Proxima b had played the record, they would have fou

We are trying to survive our

42、 time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (星际）civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in an.awesome universe. ” It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet-even

43、if it has an atmosphere as first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than the 78,000 years it would take at 36,000mph (about 57,900km/h). Proxima b looks to us like a promising Plan(et) B, just in case things go really south on this blue planet, “the Chicago Tribune wrote.32. Which o

A.Proxima b is bigger and closer to the sun than Earth.B.It is a newly discovered star in the solar systemC.Proxima b has an atmosphere like the Earths.D.The sky of Proxima b turns orange at sunset.33.The postcards and records were sent up into space on probe
