IS AT THE CORE OF MODERN LIFE DESPITE THIS THE FULL STORY OF THIS REVOLUTIONARY FORCE HAS REMAINED UNTOLD UNTIL NOW Simply Electrifying offers the comprehensive story of one of mankind s most important journeys from a time when only a few could even imagine a world with electricity to today when for most of us a world without electricity would be unimaginable Since the birth of the modern science of electricity 265 years ago mankind has built an impressive structure to produce deliver and use electricity thanks to a combination of pioneering science innovative technology wise business strategy and pervasive 到处存在的 economic and environmental regulation Simply Electrifying brings to life the stories of the people that made it all possible from early pathfinders like Benjamin Franklin Michael Faraday James Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein to innovators such as Samuel Morse Thomas Edison George Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla In modern times business strategists and economic and environmental regulation driven by many including President Franklin D Roosevelt Rachel Carson and even President Barack Obama have shaped how we use and understand electricity in crucial ways Today Elon Musk and others are on the edge of again changing the way we think about and interact with it Simply Electrifying is painstakingly researched and beautifully written showing us how both profit makers and policy makers must use a wide angle lens to truly understand the past and predict the future 56 According to the passage the book Simply Electrifying is written to tell us A pioneering science of electricity B significant journeys of electricity C the people who invented electricity D the research which was about electricity 57 Why is President Barack Obama mentioned in the book Simply Electrifying A Because a policy maker is usually a top dog that can arouse the readers interest B Because a policy maker can help promote the better use of electricity C Because policy makers can decide the future of the use of electricity on the market D Because policy makers can take control of the economy through electricity B As countless unmade beds and unfinished homework assignments prove kids need rules Yet how parents make demands can powerfully influence a child s social skills psychologists at the University of Virginia recently found after the conclusion of a study investigating the transition from adolescence to adulthood Initially 184 13 year olds filled out multiple surveys including one to assess how often their parents employed psychologically controlling strategies such as inducing guilt or threatening to withdraw affection The kids rated for example how typical it would be for Dad to suggest that if I really cared for him I would not do things that caused him to worry or for Mom to become less friendly when I did not see things her way The researchers followed up with the subjects at ages 18 and 21 asking the young adults to bring along a close friend and later a romantic partner if they had one These pairs were asked to answer hypothetical 假设的 questions that were purposefully written to inspire a difference of opinion We wanted to see whether they could navigate a disagreement in a healthy way says study leader Barbara Oudekerk now at the U S Department of Justice s bureau of statistics In the October issue of Child Development Oudekerk and her colleagues report that the 13 year olds who had highly controlling parents struggled in friendly disagreements at age 18 They had difficulty stating their opinions in a confident reasoned manner in comparison to the kids without controlling parents And when they did speak up they often failed to express themselves in warm and productive ways The researchers suspect that pushy parents ruin their child s ability to learn how to argue his or her own viewpoint in other relationships Although parents do need to set boundaries domineering strategies imply that any disagreement will damage the bond itself Separate findings suggest that parents who explain the reasons behind their rules and turn disagreements into conversations leave youngsters better prepared for future arguments The consequences of tense or domineering relationships appear to get worse with time This study also found that social difficulties at 18 predicted even poorer communication abilities at age 21 Psychologist Shmuel Shulman of Bar Ilan University in Israel who did not participate in the work thinks these conclusions convincingly reveal how relationship patterns carry forward into new friendships 58 What will happen to the teenagers with pushy parents A They lose social skills B They have trouble presenting opinions C They express themselves in an aggressive way D They fail to inspire a difference of opinion 59 What does the underlined word domineering in Paragraph 5 mean A alternative B conservative C powerful D forceful 60 It can be inferred from the findings that parents should A communicate with children when setting rules B learn new ways to establish new friendships C seek more controlling strategies D help children develop abilities to follow rules C Exposing living tissue to subfreezing temperatures for long can cause permanent damage Microscopic ice crystals 结晶体 cut cells and seize moisture 潮气 making donor organs unsuitable for transplantation Thus organs can be made cold for only a few hours ahead of a procedure But a set of lasting new antifreeze compounds 化合物 similar to those found in particularly hardy 耐寒的 animals could lengthen organs shelf life Scientists at the University of Warwick in England were inspired by proteins in some species of Arctic fish wood frogs and other organisms that prevent blood from freezing allowing them to flourish in extreme cold Previous research had shown these natural antifreeze molecules 分子 could preserve rat hearts at 1 3 degrees Celsius for up to 24 hours But these proteins are expensive to extract 提取 and highly poisonous to some species For a long time everyone assumed you had to make synthetic 人造的 alternatives that looked exactly like antifreeze proteins to solve this problem says Matthew Gibson a chemist at Warwick who co authored the new research But we found that you can design new molecules that function like antifreeze proteins but do not necessarily look like them Most natural antifreeze molecules have a mixture of regions that either attract or repel water Scientists do not know exactly how this process prevents ice crystal formation but Gibson thinks it might throw water molecules into push pull chaos that prevents them from tuning into ice To copy this mechanism he and his colleagues synthesized spiral shaped molecules that were mostly water repellent but had iron atoms at their centers that made them hydrophilic or water loving The resulting compounds were surprisingly effective at stopping ice crystals from forming Some were also harmless to the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans indicating they might be safe for other animals These compounds are really cool because they are not proteins they are other types of molecules that nonetheless can do at least part of what natural antifreeze proteins do says Clara do Amaral a biologist at Mount St Joseph University who was not involved in the research Gibson s antifreeze compounds will still need to be tested in humans however and may be only part of a solution We don t have the whole picture yet do Amaral adds It s not just one magical compound that helps freeze tolerant organisms survive It s a whole suite of adaptations 61 What will happen if organs are kept for a long time in temperatures below zero A They will have ice crystal formation inside B They will not suffer permanent damage C They will have longer shelf life D They will be fit for transplantation 62 What can we learn about natural antifreeze proteins A They look like Gibson s antifreeze compounds B They are composed of antifreeze molecules harmless to other species C They are spiral shaped and have iron atoms at their centers D They can be found in organisms living in freezing cold weather 63 How are antifreeze molecules prevented from ice crystals A By creating compounds both water repellent and water loving B By extracting the proteins from some hardy animals C By making synthetic alternatives like antifreeze proteins D By copying spiral shaped molecules mostly water resistant 64 What s the main idea of the passage A Push pull chaos might prevent water molecules from turning into ice B The final solution to preserving donor organs has been found recently C Chemicals inspired by Arctic animals could lengthen organs shelf life D Gibson s antifreeze compounds can do what natural antifreeze proteins do D I remember my childhood summers fondly as many of us do Those golden days in which I would leave the house after a still sleepy leisurely breakfast and come home only for lunch in the middle of a day spent entirely outdoors We did not live in town and thus playmates were limited to siblings 兄弟姐妹 and the cousins who lived down the road Our backyard became the playground in which our imaginations would run wild turning those few acres into magical forests the creek 小溪 into a violent river and our trusty dog Rex into the many roles of horse monster and any other creature that we children did not want to play By the end of the three months of summer break we were sunburned from our hours in the sun full of the memories of a thousand magical moments and bonded to our siblings in a way that winter s forced hibernation 冬眠 never seemed to connect us Today I live on the same acreage that I did as a child My children have the blessing of having the same grassy patches to scratch their bare feet as they run through it the same creek to stomp 跺脚 through and not the same dog but their very own energetic pup to imagine away the days with However this is not the same world as it was twenty thirty years ago There are screens everywhere in the house to demand attention televisions with hundreds of channels computers with access to a thousand entertaining sites tablets stocked with apps There is also no longer the expectation of a stretch of an unscheduled three months Their school friends tell competitive stories of carefully planned vacations spending time traveling to all of the local attractions various parks the zoo the science center all of the festivals which come breezing through town On the very first day of school they will be asked to list their favorite activities of the summer and no longer are these lists filled with things like finding wood to make a bridge over a creek or a day spent in imaginative play with their siblings The lists are now full of trips overscheduled days and camps that no longer offer a stay in nature Our children have become used to being entertained every minute In our house we have limits on electronics and kick the kids outside on a nice day Even as we try as parents to set limits and get our children out in nature the new cry of childhood seems to be I m bored which is not really just meaning I m bored but Please find something to entertain me as I no longer can entertain myself even for a short period of time Our children no longer know how to sit in silence entertain themselves while even waiting for a few minutes and have lost the awe of nature as they have become addicted to screen time We have made a choice in this household to do what is no longer expected of children in many households we will ensure that there are days of boredom We refuse to spend our days scheduling our children s every hour There will be many days with no plans at all when they will be sent o
