9、kidneysbut she was turned down because she might develop the same health problems as her mother in later life. Deveza came up with a different plan. In 2017, she started the worlds first paired exchange of different organs between living donors, exchanging half her liver(肝) for someone elses kidney.

10、 A case study of the organ exchange has now been published, and the surgeons who were involved are calling for more exchanges like this. “You can imagine the enormous impact for mixed organ extended chains,” says John Roberts, a surgeon at University of California, San Francisco. Most organ transpla

11、nts come from people who have died, but there are never enough organs. As most people can manage with just one of their kidneys, people with kidney failure are increasingly receiving donated organs from relatives or friends. If someone wants to donate but their immune(免疫的) system is unsuited, doctor

12、s may be able to find pairs of would-be donors who can each give a kidney to the others relative. When Deveza was looking into such chains, she came across research describing the idea of trading a kidney with the only other organ generally taken from a living donorthe liver. She suggested the idea

13、to many hospitals before she finally contacted Roberts, who saw the ideas potential. Deveza was assessed to be in good enough health to donate part of her liver. It then took 18 months to find Annie Simmons, in Idaho, whose liver was unsuitable to use as a transplant for her sister with severe liver

14、 disease. They drew up a plan: Simmons would donate a kidney to Devezas mother, and in return, Deveza would give half her liver to Simmons sister. The hospital gave the go-ahead and the four operations took place on the same day successfully. The team hope that the ground-breaking case will inspire

15、more people to consider doing the same. Roberts says that direct exchanges involving two donors could enable up to thirty extra living-donor liver transplants a yeara ten percent increase.4.

18、ssing for PatientsD Organ Exchange: Major Medical AdvancesCIts no secret now that the more time we spend on social media, the more we feel dissatisfied with ourselves. We tend to compare ourselves to influences and celebrities- so its easy to understand how that can affect our confidence. But, how o

19、ften have you found yourself comparing your life to your friends? Engaging with social media shared by our friends can be more damaging than looking at content shared by celebrities, new research has found. The study looking at how social media affects body image found that any social media engageme

20、nt was significantly associated with lower “appearance satisfaction”. Additionally, it found that engaging with content posted by people the participants knew was more than twice as damaging as looking at content posted by strangers, including celebrities. Viren Swami, Professor of Social Psychology

21、 at Anglia Ruskin University, believes this is partly because we know its hard to attain the lives of celebrities or influences, but when were comparing ourselves to our friends, it feels like we should- or could-live the way they do. “One possible explanation is that people may perceive a post show

22、ing appearance as being much more attainable if it comes from someone they know, adding expectation or pressure on the person engaging in the post, ” he said. “At the same time, people may be more critically engaged with posts by the likes of models and celebrities, and therefore perceive the images

23、 they share to be more unrealistic. “This is not just confined to body image though. We all have one area in our lives that triggers(触 发)us. Maybe youve been searching for a new job for months and you find yourself on social media, envying your school friend who just landed their dream role. Maybe.

24、. . All this is to say the obvious: we only see part of peoples lives -and if its getting you down, youre probably comparing your insides to other peoples outsides.

27、?A. Find your dream and fight for it.B. Stop comparing and be yourself.C. Be grateful and lead a perfect life.D. Stop complaining and get down to work.DGiven that the dictionary definition of curiosity is “the desire to know something”, it may be of little surprise that much research has concerned i

28、ts benefits for education. Consider a study at the University of California at Davis in 2014. The researchers first asked each participant to rate their curiosity about learning the answers to a series of questions, such as “What does the term dinosaur actually mean?” The participants then lay in an

29、 fMRI brain scanner (扫描仪) while the same questions were presented, followed shortly after by the answers. The participants were then tested on their recollection of the facts an hour later. The effects of curiosity on later recall were striking. When the participants were highly curious about a fact

30、, they were 30% more likely to recall it. And this seemed to correspond to heightened activity in areas of the midbrain that release dopamine (多巴胺). Dopamine is normally associated with reward, but animal studies suggest that it can also enhance the formation of new neural(神经的) connections. It looke

31、d as if the feeling of curiosity was helping prepare the brain to absorb the new and important information, and this then resulted in a more stable memory. Interestingly, the researchers found that the dopamine hit, arising from initial curiosity, could even enhance the memory of incidental informat

32、ion that had no direct relevance to the primary question. To demonstrate this, they had presented random faces alongside the answers to the questions and, an hour later, checked whether the participants still recognized the faces. The analyses showed that the participants were far more likely to rem

33、ember the face if it had accompanied a question that had awakened their curiosity. This additional, and unexpected, memory boost could be extremely useful whenever were trying to learn something new and complicated. Were unlikely, after all, to find every single element of our studies interesting. B

34、ut if we can develop some curiosity about at least some of the facts, we may find that the rest of the material also sticks far more easily.12. Which aspect of curiosity did the study focus on?A. Its scientific definition.B. Its unique characteristics.C. Its influences on memory.D. Its benefits for

To measure their curiosity about the questions.D. To refresh their memory of extinct wild animals.14. What can be learned about dopami

36、ne according to Paragraph 3?A. It blocks memory.B. It facilitates learning.C. It promotes friendship.D. It cures neural disorder.15 Which message about learning does the unexpected finding deliver?A. Generate interest in study.B. Locus on essential information.C. Make learning materials related.D. A
