10、se enthusiastic polite and considerate young people.” he said.Lynn OConnor said the students truly care about the people in the community. She recalled a day when one of the young people spent much extra time explaining the menu to one of the residents. “Were like grandparents to them” she said.Marq
11、uez also began building special relationships with the residents. “I get to call so many residents I got close to grandma and grandpa.”“Greenspring is one of many senior living communities in America that are getting residents to socialize more with young people. About 4,500 students have taken part

Scholarship Program Bridges Generations.CScientists have developed a new type of smart bandage (绷带) that can signal the type of bacterial (细菌的) infection its protecting, just like
17、 a traffic light, as well as release the right type of drugs on demand. The traffic light system works just like this: Green means no bacteria or a low concentration of bacteria, yellow means drug-sensitive (DS) bacteria responsive to standard antibiotics (抗生素) and causes antibiotic release, and red
18、 means drug-resistant (DR) bacteria that need extra help to be wiped out.In testing the bandage on mice, the research team was able to successfully treat both DS and DR infections using the new method. However, the common methods of sensing resistance are limited by time, the requirement for profess
19、ional personnel, and expensive instruments. Moreover, the abuse of antibiotics causes the accelerated process of bacterial resistance.Its easy to see how a simple bandage and light could overcome some of these limitations. Treatment doesnt have to wait for a doctor to make a diagnosis, and the banda
20、ge can get the right sort of drugs applied at the earliest opportunity. Whats more, the person wearing the bandage gets real-time feedback on whats happening with the infection, if theres an infection at all. The researchers say it offers numerous benefits over existing treatments that make use of l
21、ight, including photodynamic therapy or PDT.Weve been seeing quite a few upgrades to the traditional bandage in recent years, thanks to advances in science like the nanofiber mesh that attracts bacteria and draws some of it out, speeding up the healing process. Then theres the novel bandage for trea
22、ting burns, which stops bacteria from multiplying and lowers the risk of infection.The more work that a bandage can do while its protecting a wound, the better. Efforts to improve bandages continue and now weve got a bandage that not only releases antibiotics, but also tells the patient exactly what
23、s going on too. 28. What is the smart bandage mainly designed to do?A. Avoid the use of antibiotics.B. Clear out harmful bacteria.C. Detect bacterial infections.D. Increase treatment options.29.

More smart bandages will be developed.C. Progress in science calls for more research.D. People are urged to stud
25、y medical science.31. What does the text focus on?A. A successful test on mice.B. A colour-changing bandage.C. Sensing drug-resistant bacteria.D. Preventing abuse of antibiotics.D“Myken is far out at sea, so as far as possible it should be taking care of things itself,” says Kyrre Sundseth, who is a
26、 hydrogen (氢) researcher in Norway and also the project manager for Mykens energy project. “This is why we want Myken to become entirely self-sufficient in energy. It is also important to take the environment into consideration,” he says.Much points to the idea that the solution may lie in a Hydroge
27、n plant, specifically tailored for small islands. The “raw materials” for hydrogen production come from nature itself in the form of the sun and wind. Researchers have calculated that energy costs will be lower by using hydrogen production than the undersea cable option. And it is possible to store
28、energy in the form of hydrogen for longer periods. This means that supplies will not have to rely on a lot of expensive batteries or external energy sources, even during periods when the sun isnt shining, or the wind isnt blowing.The Myken project has attracted several technology companies. They are
29、 currently working on a pilot project. The pilot involves experiments on the feasibility (可行性) of the hydrogen system in which electricity is generated from solar and wind sources. The electricity can be used immediately, but during periods when all the energy generated is not required, the spare en
30、ergy can be used to split seawater into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen can be stored in a tank, and used later to generate electricity. The pilot will help researchers know more about how effectively the system will work in the hydrogen plant. Since the island has a distillery (酿酒厂), where the di
31、stillation (蒸馏) process relies on energy, a hydrogen plant on Myken offers an even greater environmental benefit. Spare heat from the hydrogen system can also be used for the heating part in the distillation process.“In Norway alone there are about 300 island inhabited all year round by small popula
32、tions,” says Kyrre Sundseth. “All of these islands may be candidates for using this technology. In global terms were talking about 10,000 similar islands.”32. Why is a hydrogen plant suitable for Myken?A. It is perfect in size for small islands.B. It can send electricity to faraway places.C. It will
33、 restore local natural environment.D. It provides green and sustainable energy.33. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4?A. The study on the energy storage.B. The test on the hydrogen system.C. The experiment on the raw materials.D. The research on the innovation of the pilot.34. According to t
34、he passage, a hydrogen plant will _.A. produce purified seawater.B. prove more technically reliable.C. contribute in more than one way.D. benefit from the distillation process.35. What does Kyrre Sundseth think of the project?A. Promising.B. Systematic.C. Irreplaceable.D. Time saving.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，

Those in the sample who were cla
38、ssed as overweight ate 616 calories while using their phones.

39、 the Federal University of Lavras in Brazil and University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands. He added: “Tablets and smartphones have become the main distracters during meals, even early in childhood. 39 A distracter prevents the brain correctly understanding the amount of food accepted.” 40
