Cells divide many times throughout their lives．But they cannot do it forever．Once they have reached the limits of their reproductive powers，they enter a state called"nescence（衰老）" in which they carry on performing their duties but stop making new copies of themlves．For years it was assumed that，apart from their refusal to divide，nescent cells were otherwi similar in every detail to their replicating compatriots（同胞）．
There is mounting evidence，though，that this is untrue．One study in 2016 reported that nescent cells in the kidneys and heart produce a protein that caus nearby healthy tissues to fail
．Another study found that nescent cells contribute to dias like atherosclerosis and arthritis．New work led by Darren Baker， a biologist at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota，suggests the accumulation of nescent cells within the brains of mice caus the animals to develop neurodegenerative（神经变性的）dias-- and that clearing out the cells can help prevent them．
Working with a team of colleagues，Dr．Baker obtained a population of mice that had been genetically engineered to quickly develop fibrous tangles（纤维团）of protein in their brains．The tangles are associated with the decline in mental abilities caud by dias like Alzheimer's（早老性痴呆病）When the mice were four months old，Dr Baker collected brain tissue from some，and found nescent cells accumulating in the hippocampus， a ahor-shaped region of the brain involved with learning and memory．By merely six months old，they were accumulating in the cerebral cortex（大脑皮层）as well----as were the tangles that are associated with neurological（神经系统的）decline．
To e what role，if any，nescent cells were playing in their decreasing brainpower，Dr．Baker genetically changed some mice such that their nescent cells could be removed with a twice-weekly do of a specific chemical．That left a subgroup of mice that were still likely to have neurolo
gical dias，but which also had their brains rid of nescent cells．By the time the mice reached six months old，the tangles were almost entirely abnt．When the mice were prented with objects they had met before，they approached them without hesitation，as healthy mice should．In contrast，mice who brains were full of nescent cells approached the objects tentatively，as if they had never en them before．Mice are not people．It remains to be en whether clearing exhausted cells from human brains could have similar benefits．Since it is not possible to do genetic engineering on humans beforehand，drugs that can clear out nescent cells will have to be developed instead．But Dr．Baker's results suggest that is worth trying．Indeed，the next project in his lab is to explore whether clearing nescent cells from the brains of mice that are already suffering from the murine（鼠类的）version of Alzheimer's might allow their already damaged brains to recover．
株洲环球雅思3.Bad on Para．3，what did Dr Baker obrve from his genetically engineered mice？
______
A. Fibrous tangles in brains contribute to the dia of Alzheimer's．
B. Hippocampus is a region responsible for learning and memory．
C. Senescent cells spread fast in the brain along with some tangles
D. Senescent cells in brains have caud the rats brainpower to decline．
4.Which is true of the mice who nescent cells are removed？______damn it
A. There are not any tangles in their brain 6 months later
B. They imitated what healthy mice did to a familiar object
C. They dared to try whatever objects were given to them
D. They showed normal memory ability as healthy mice did．
5.Dr．Baker's next experiment will be on ______ ．
A. mice with Alzheimer's
B. humans with damaged brains
C. mice with nescent cells removed
D. humans with nescent cells cleared

fatherandsonRecently，many shoppers cho to avoid the crazy crowds and do their holiday shopping from the comfort of their computer．Sales at online stores gained by more than 15%o，making it the biggest ason ever．But people are also returning tho purchas at record rates，up 8% from last year．
What went wrong Is the shadow of the global financial crisis making it harder to accept excessive addiction？Or that people shop more impulsively （冲动地）--------and therefore make bad decisions--------when online Both arguments are emingly reasonable．However，there is a third factor： a question of touch．We can love the look but in an online environment，we cannot feel the quality of a texture（质地），the shape of the fit，the fall of a fold or，for that matter，the weight of an earring．And physically interacting with an object makes you more committed to your purcha．
When my most recent book Brandwashed was relead，I joined up with a local bookstore to conduct an experiment about the difference between the online and offline shopping experience．I c
arefully instructed a group of volunteers to promote my book in two different ways．The first was a fairly hands-off approach．Whenever a customer would ask about my book，the volunteer would take them over to the shelf and point to it Out of 20 such requests，six customers made the purcha．
The cond option also involved going over to the shelf but，this time，removing the book and then holding onto it for just an extra moment before placing it in the customer's hands．Of the 20 people who were handed the book，13 ended up buying it．Just physically passing the book showed a big difference in sales Why？We feel something similar to a n of ownership when we hold things in our hand．That's why we establish connection by greeting strangers and friends with a handshake．In this ca，having to then let go of the book after holding it might produce a n of loss，and motivate us to make the purcha even more．
A recent study conducted by Bangor University together with the United Kingdoms Royal Mail Service also showed the power of touch，in this ca when it came to traditional mail． A deeper and longer-lasting impression of a message was formed when delivered ill a letter，as oppod to receiving the same message online．FMRIS（功能性磁共振成像）showed that，on touching the paper；the emotional center of the brain was activated，thus forming a stronger bond．The study al
eva cassidyso indicated that once touch becomes part of the process，it could translate into a n of posssion．In other words，we feel more committed to posss and thus buy an item when we have first touched it．This n of ownership is simply not part of the situation in the online shopping experience．
As the rituals of purcha in the lead-up to Christmas change，not only do we give less thought to the type of gifts we buy for our loved ones but，through our own digital wish lists，we increasingly control what they buy for us．The reality，however，is that no matter how convinced we all are that digital is the way to go，finding real satisfaction will probably take more than a few simple clicks．
6.According to the author，shoppers are returning their purchas for all the following
reasons EXCEPT that ______ ．
A. they are unsatisfied with the quality of the purcha
B. they eventually find the purcha too expensive
C. they change their mind out of uncertainty
D. they regret making the purcha without forethought
7.What is the purpo of the experiment in the bookstore______
A. To e which promotion method is preferred by customers．
B. To find out the strengths and weakness of both methods
C. To try to t up a new retailer-customer relationship
D. To e the effect of an approach on customers' decisions
8.Why does the author cite the study by Bangor University and the Royal Mail Service
______
A. To compare similar respons in different ttings．
B. To provide further evidence for his own obrvation．
C. To offer a scientific account of the brains functions
D. To describe emotional respons in online shopping．
9.What can be inferred from the last paragraph？______
A. Real satisfaction depends on factors other than the computer．
B. Despite online shopping we still attach importance to gift buying
C. Some people are still uncertain about the digital age．
D. Online shopping offers real satisfaction to shoppers

"I don't know the future，"shrugged Neo in 1999's The Matrix "l came here to tell you how irs going to begin．" With him，on-screen and off，The Matrix pulled audiences into the future of cinema．
英语加盟The Matrix．Magnolia．Being John Malkovich．Fight Club．The Blair Witch Project．The Sixth Sen Office Space．Man on the Moon．The Talented Mr Ripley Boys Don？Cry．Three Kings．Toy Story 2．The Iron Giant．Eyes Wide Shut．Cruel Intentions．Election．American Pie．Notting Hill and Runaway Bride．1999 might be the greatest year of modern cinema．I think so．If you aren't crazy about two-thirds of the films．do you even like movies？
What's certain，however，is that 1999 is the most vital year of modern cinema- the moment that Hollywood featured the chon ones who would become the heroes of the new millennium （千禧年），from David Fincher to Spike Jonze to a young girl named Angelina Jolie，who introduced herlf to the public by winning best supporting actress for playing a mental patient What explains 1999，'s extraordinary films？DVD sales began in 1997 and flooded studios with extra cash，especially in tho first years as home viewers built their collection．Studios invested their money in a generation of upstart（初出茅庐的）directors，predicting that audiences would buy a good film twice：once in the theater，and again for their shelf．Suddenly，the genius who'd been discovered during the independent wave in Sundance Film Festival in the 1990s were entrusted（委托）with millions of dollars．It was a creative renaissance．Directors ized the chance to get weird．Paul Thomas Anderson scored

37milliontoshootMagnolia．DavidORusllshouldered47 million to satirize（讥讽）the Gulf war．Even Spike Jonze， a music video director with zero film credits to his name，cured SI3 million to transport audiences to a multiver（多元宇宙）．
The up-and-coming directors became major 21st-century voices．Part of the reason Anderson，Rusll and Jonze are still the kings is that today's directors haven't been given the same golden tick
et．The talent doesn't．Ambitious mid-priced films went extinct when the DVD empire began to fall apart in 2008．Instead of betting on filmmakers with personal styles，studios put their chips on big screen superheroes．Stand out at this year's Sundance，and
instead of being handed the freedom to dream，you'll be given the keys to a special permission-and a conference table of producers as supervisors．Or you'll stay small forever，struggling to be en amid the crush of streaming media competing for the audiences attention．Have a clo look at the films of 1999 and we have a suspicion that we're stuck in The Matrix ourlves．The near past is repeating like an endless programme．But we're also feeling a deeper
connection to 1999．The Year 2000 panic triggered filmmakers to think pessimistically about the future of human survival．And some of the directors feared that mankind had become too weak and materialistic to survive the millennium．
Therefore，in 1999 our heroes didn't win．They failed．They disappeared．They died．They blew up their world．But some film-makers still believe that the future is our world and we can change our tomorrow．
