15、 daughters much.They were 9 and 12, and distant towards me. One night after work, I saw them making bracelets (手镯) from rubber bands and I thought, “Hey, I know how to do this. Maybe I can impress you girls.” I sat down and showed them how to link the rubber bands together, using the same technique
16、we had used to make jumping ropes back in Malaysia. But the bracelets kept falling apart. I went down to my basement, grabbed a board and stuck multiple rows of pushpins into it. Then I started linking the bands in a zigzag, like a diamond shape, and it worked really well.The next day, my daughters
17、took a bunch of colorful bracelets to school. I became a neighborhood hero overnight. Children would come up to me and ask me to make them bracelets.

35、 cancer in 2019. After a two-year battle, they are both disease-free. But the war continues.The new enemy is their waistlines (腰围). Scientists have discovered that overweight not only increases the risks of getting cancer but the chances that cancer will return. Now, as medical studies seek to deter
36、mine how much weight loss is needed for a better prognosis (诊断), and whether the fat-cancer link can be disrupted in other ways, patients are being encouraged to slim down.“We need to do this for our health, now more than ever,” said Angela Watts, 59, who is among the first survivors to benefit from
37、 a calorie-counting computer program provided by Johns Hopkins Hospital, where she was treated for Stage 2 breast cancer. Given that two-thirds of the national population is overweight, the connection between fat and breast cancer, the strongest in those diagnosed with the disease, is especially tro
38、ubling. Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer for women in America, with more than 200,000 diagnoses and almost 40,700 deaths reported last year.Doctors and public health officials have long been promoting lifestyle changes to stop heart disease and diabetes, but they believe fewer pe
39、ople associate better diets and exercise with cancer prevention. Cancer patients, meanwhile, face their own problems. They might have trouble dieting and exercising because treatment often makes them gain weight while experiencing fatigue (疲劳) and other side effects. Given those challenges, research
40、ers in Baltimore and across the country are seeking the best ways to change behaviors among those with a diagnosis and those who could be headed down that path.Dr. Lewis E. Foxhall, who works on cancer prevention policy at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says doctors
41、dont know exactly how much weight loss improves a prognosis. One study, published in 2009, tracked only those who had weight-loss surgery, which typically cuts much more body fat than diet and exercise, and keeps the fat off longer. Researchers also believe that biological changes resulting from the
42、 surgery itself might have helped reduce womens risk of cancer.Still, Foxhall recommends that doctors advise people to diet and exercise. “We need to pursue the things which are associated with preventing cancer and help us deal with cancer once we get it,” he said. “We need to address nutrition and
43、 physical activities and make sure people can make healthy choices.”Scientists think that obese women have high levels of hormones including insulin, which regulates blood sugar, estrogen, a female sex hormone, and leptin, which helps regulate appetite that lead to complex biological changes, includ
44、ing inflammation (炎症) in the body that can promote cancer growth. Some researchers are looking for ways to disrupt this link. Dipali Sharma, an associate professor working on breast cancer at Johns Hopkins, wants to develop a pill. After exploring the biology of many compounds, shes focusing on broc
45、coli(花椰菜), garlic and the magnolia plant(木兰属植物).Angela Watts says the computer program is helping her. Shes been through surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for her breast cancer, and she knows that dropping more pounds can reduce the risk of the cancer recurring. The computer counts calories from h
46、er meals and subtracts (减去) calories burned from exercising, warning her when shes approaching her daily 1,500-calorie limit. Watts says she weighed as much as 212 pounds and has a goal weight of 150. 28. Angela Watts and her daughter have to continue the war because .A. they are both diagnosed with
47、 breast cancerB. they should have a better prognosis regularly C. breast cancer has caused more serious problems D. overweight may lead to the recurrence of the cancer29. When a person is being treated for cancer, .A. he cant live a normal lifeB. he may feel tired and put on weight C. he must be bra

50、 Eating more broccoli or garlic can be beneficial to Angela.DIf you could be anybody in the world, who would it be? Your neighbour or a super star? A few people have experienced what it might be like to step into the skin of another person, thanks to an unusual virtual reality（虚拟现实）device. Rikke Wah
51、l, an actress, model and artist, was one of the participants in a body swapping experiment at the Be Another lab, a project developed by a group of artists based in Barcelona. She swapped with her partner, an actor, using a machine called The Machine to Be Another and temporarily became a man. As I
52、looked down, I saw my whole body as a man, dressed in my partners pants, she said. Thats the picture I remember best.The set-up is relatively simple. Both users wear a virtual reality headset with a camera on the top. The video from each camera is sent to the other person, so what you see is the exa
53、ct view of your partner. If she moves her arm, you see it. If you move your arm, she sees it.To get used to seeing another persons body without actually having control of it, participants start by raising their arms and legs very slowly, so that the other can follow along. Eventually, this kind of s
54、low synchronised（同步的）movement becomes comfortable, and participants really start to feel as though they are living in another persons body.Using such technology promises to alter peoples behaviour afterwards-potentially for the better. Studies have shown that virtual reality can be effective in figh
55、ting racism-the bias（偏见）that humans have against those who dont look or sound like them. Researchers at the University of Barcelona gave people a questionnaire called the Implicit Association Test, which measures the strength of peoples associations between, for instance, black people and adjectives
56、 such as good, bad, athletic or awkward. Then they asked them to control the body of a dark skinned digital character using virtual reality glasses, before taking the test again. This time, the participants bias scores were lower. The idea is that once youve put yourself in anothers shoes youre less
57、 likely to think ill of them, because your brain has internalised the feeling of being that person. The creators of The Machine to Be Another hope to achieve a similar result. At the end of body swapping, people feel like holding each other in their arms, says Arthur Pointeau, a programmer with the
