17、before being torn down. Its such a shame. So I wanted to do something, says Zhang Lei, a professor from the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Nanjing University.Zhangs two design works for Librairie Avant-Garde, the Yunxi Library bookshop in Tonglu countys Daijiashan village and Chenjiapu
18、 Bookstore in Songyang county, both in East Chinas Zhejiang province, were opened respectively in 2015 and 2018. The villages have since seen increasing number of visitors. Hostels have been built and, as a result, property prices in the villages have soared. For instance, the annual rent of a house
19、 in Daijiashan village was 2,000 yuan ($306) in 2015, but has now grown to 8,000 yuan.Similarly, Chenjiapu village used to be dying despite a history stretching back 600 years. The bookstore, however, means that holidays bring so many visitors that there are often traffic jams on the road leading to
20、 the village. I never thought that a small bookstore could change the fate of a village, he says.When Qian Xiaohua, founder of Librairie Avant-Garde headquartered in Nanjing, started opening bookstores in the countryside six years ago, he met with a lot of doubts and questions. After all, bookstores
21、 in cities, with much bigger populations, could barely survive due to online competition. Even more surprisingly, Qian prefers targeting old villages that are losing their young people, with just the elderly and children left behind. Those villages are usually located in picturesque surroundings, ma
22、ny with historical details. Qian, accompanied by architects, will then choose old buildings from the villages to be renovated into well-lit modern bookstores that remain true to their original structures and decorative aspects.Since April 2014, Qian has opened five bookstores in the countryside. All
23、 have attracted large numbers of tourists and even young villagers to return home.

26、 Changes VillagesCIf you want to do your kids a favor, consider having them walk to school. Walking to school provides many benefits improving academic performance, reducing anxiety, boosting spirits, better sleep, a sense of independence, having an opportunity to familiarize oneself with a neighbor
27、hood, to notice small details, to feel a sense of wonder at the surroundings. The list goes on. Parental fears still exist, however. Parents are terrified of cars, of injury, of harsh weather, of encounters with strangers and wild animals. These fears prevent parents from letting their kids do somet
28、hing thats actually enormously beneficial to them, despite the fact that removing an opportunity to be active contributes to an increase in childhood obesity, which can have a greater negative impact on a childs life than the risk of being injured due to being active. How do we go from being a socie
29、ty that does not encourage its children to walk independently to being one that does? Parents must face their own discomfort with letting go. Brussoni, an expert who researches childrens outdoor and risky play, said We want to move parents from focusing solely on protecting their child to building t
30、rust in their childs abilities and strategies to support their childs skills in navigating the streetscape. Schools can play a role by encouraging children to walk to school. Brussoni offers additional suggestions: They should promote a culture that walking to school is the norm, help educate parent
31、s on why this is important, and consider closing the streets around the school to cars before and after school. Parents might do well to put themselves in their childrens shoes. As adults, we know how good a morning walk feels to start off a day or to end one. Walking energizes us and cheers us up,
32、and it can do the same for children. As we go through this pandemic that has shaken up all of our lives, its a good time to practice new routines and establish new habits.

35、te a way of establishing a new routine. D. To encourage kids to form a good habit.DIsraeli researchers say they have created the worlds first three-dimensional, or 3D-printed heart using a patients own cells. They described the experiment as a major medical breakthrough. Tal Dvir, the lead researche
36、r on the project, said in a statement that it was the first time that human cells had been used with 3D printing technology to successfully create a whole heart. Dvir added that the printed heart contains blood vessels which are needed to pump blood. The development marks a step forward for 3D print
37、ing in the medical field.The researchers took samples of fatty tissue from patients. This material was then used to develop “ink” for the 3D printing process. First, the researchers created patches of tissue from the patients own cells. Later, they used that same process to create a small version of
38、 a whole heart. Using the patients own cells is important to reduce the risk that the bodys system to fight infection will reject a transplanted organ.The goal, the researchers said, is to treat heart disease. The World Health Organization reports that heart disease is by far the leading cause of de
39、ath worldwide. For patients with severe heart disease, a heart transplant is currently the main treatment available. The researchers hope their invention can help ease the demand for heart transplant donors.Dvir says that the newly-created heart represents great progress. However, more research and
40、development is needed to produce a fully operating, transplantable organ. One of the biggest challenges for the engineering team will be finding a way to create a human-sized heart.Dvir said his team planned to transplant heart models designed for animals, possibly within the next year. He added tha
41、t, for human use, “simpler organs” will likely be produced before hearts. “Maybe, in ten years, there will be organ printers in the finest hospitals around the world,” Dvir said. He hopes such methods will be used “routinely” to produce organs in the future.32. Why should patients own cells are used
42、 to create a 3D heart? A. To avoid being rejected.B. To make it suitable to print. C. To fight infection.D. To build up immune system.33. What is the research intended for? A. To adopt printing technology.B. To create human organs. C. To treat heart disease.D. To develop organ printers.34. What does
43、 Dvir expect of organ printers in the future? A. They will be developed to create organs routinely. B. They will be widely used to treat different diseases. C. They will be used to transplant organs for animals. D. They will be applied to various fields in the world.35What is the text mainly about?
44、A. An artificial heart.B. A major medical breakthrough C. A scientific projectD.
