Learn to cure cancer

A vaccine for cancer is in the works.

Lauren Landry and Chloe Tomblin are the scientists. They look in freezers(冰柜) for bacteria to use in the research. This research has its limitations—mostly because their lab is in a high school.

But Lauren, 16, and Chloe,17 both students are Western Reserve Academy in the US, aren’t put off by the difficulties they face in their cancer immunology(免疫学) class.

“I hope we get to the point where we can get to a vaccine and write a paper,” Lauren said.

Both conduct research into how to engage the immune system in stopping cancer from forming.

Though the lab is in a high school, they don’t use textbooks. The aim is to conduct real cancer research, either by testing the effects of substances on cancer cells or developing vaccines to target the growth of those harmful cells.

The idea for the class came from Robert Aguilar, who has taught at the private school for many years. Students spend the first year learning research techniques. In the second year, students swap(调换) their blue lab coats for white ones. By this stage they are well into their research projects.

“If first-years need any help, they can feel free to ask second-year students,” Aguilar said.

Students form groups to conduct their research. One pair of students has researched the effect of capsaicin(辣椒素) on killing cancer cells. Another has tested the effect of caffeine(咖啡因) on the growth rate of breast cancer(乳腺癌) cells.

But few students get to the point in their research of experimentation with mice, Aguilar said. Lauren and Chloe hope that they can make decent progress in their work.

“We know they’re going to be used for good,” Lauren said. “If it does or doesn’t work, it still has a huge impact.”

Aguilar teaches the students that even research that doesn’t work still contributes to science in some way. He tells students that “the best part of research is failing a lot”.

1.What do Laudry and Tomblin do in their research?

A. They use capsaicin to kill harmful cancer cells.

B. They try to develop vaccines that can fight cancer cells.

C. They study the effects of caffeine on breast cancer cells.

D. They tested the effects of male mice eating cells.

2.What do we know about the cancer immunology class?

A. Only talented students can take it.

B. Students do not do their own research projects in this class.

C. It equips students with knowledge and practical research skills.

D. It asks students to start research with experiments on mice.

3.What does Aguilar mean in the last paragraph?

A. Research that doesn’t work is still useful.

B. The students’ projects will often fail.

C. Most students can’t accept failure in their research.

D. Teamwork is the key to successful projects.

There was once a guy who suffered from cancer, a cancer that can’t be cured. One day he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first sight. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her. He walked closer and closer until he was finally at the front desk where she sat.

She looked up and asked, “Can I help you?” She smiled and he thought it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen before. He said, “UH…Yeah…Umm… I would like to buy a CD.” He picked one out and gave her money for it. “Would you like me to pack it for you?” she asked, smiling her cute smile again. He nodded and she went to the back. She came back with the packed CD and gave it to him.

From then on, he went to that store every day and bought a CD. He took the CD home and put it in his closet. He was still too shy to ask her out. His mother found out about this and encouraged him. So the next day, he took all his courage and left his phone number on the desk before he ran out.

Several weeks later the phone rang, and the mother picked it up. It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, “You don’t know? He passed away yesterday…” Later that day, the mother went into the boy’s room and opened the closet. Inside were piles and piles of unopened CDs. She picked one up and opened it. Out fell a piece of paper, saying: “Do you want to go out with me? Love, Jocelyn.” The mother was deeply moved and opened another CD… Again, there was a piece of paper with the same words.

A. Because it was required by the boy.

It is said that shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It's something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some ways of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it's a waste of time. I don't mean that we should do nothing about it. Quite the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of shyness from our ability to take part in a social environment.

Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Tony White. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating(交往) with different people every night, in front of a national audience.　 White has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a　　 way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend(传奇) among talk show hosts.　 Look also at Amy Lee, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.

I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.

1.In the author's view, shyness can be explained as ______.

A. an emotional disability

B. a not very normal mental condition

C. a disease that can be easily cured

D. something we pick up after birth

2.The underline expression “doing away with” most probably means “_____”.

A. keeping away from

B. getting rid of

C. catching up with

D. doing well in

3.Which of the following is TRUE of Tony White?

A. He was described as a hero in some legend books.

B. He didn’t dare to speak in front of a national audience.

C. He has dealt with shyness very successfully.

D. He failed to become a good talk show host.

4.The passage tells us that Amy Lee was ______

A. proud all the time

B. impolite when young

C. close to Jane Fonda

D. shy in her early years
