11、rs. Lawrence had explained, to earn an A +，he needed a “new angle”.Truman pushed open the front door to find his four-year-old brother, Bryan, sitting on the living room rag, hard at work. Paper towel tubes were all over the floor.Bryan quickly stood up. “Truman, help me build a city!”“Id like to,”
12、Truman replied, “but I have to do a report on beehives and .”“Can I help you?” Bryan begged.“I dont think so, Bry. Sorry.“I know where theres a beehive.” Bryan smiled.“Where?”“In the wood pile by the garage.The boys marched to the firewood. Bending down, Bryan pointed out the hive deep inside the pi
13、le. Truman carefully removed the hive out.“You got it!” Bryan shouted.Back in the living room, Truman paced around, turning the fragile hive under his nose. Each cell was a perfect hexagon(六边形). How did the bees fit the cells together so neatly? And how did they make each cell six-sided? Could they
14、count? Lost in thought, his foot came down on something .“Truman! Youre mining my city!”“Get your stupid tubes out of here，Bryan! Im trying to”The towel tubes on the floor suddenly reminded him of something. The beehive!Looking closer, he noticed the tubes were arranged with one in the middle, surro
15、unded by six others, just like the cells of the hive.Just to be sure, he tried five and then seven tubes surrounding the center tubes, but neither way fit. Six was the only number that worked.“Bees dont count to six,” he said aloud. “The cells have to be six-sided.Truman ran to Bryan and threw his a

18、ng the bees.BAlison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness.Influenced by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to enable stud
19、ents to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hear often is just a need to
20、be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.”And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called “
21、socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016.Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by c
22、ompetition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.For example, in 1976,
23、half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they
24、in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.”Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. “Men
25、tal health has truly become this generations social justice issue,” she said. “Its our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that its not their fault.”24.What is the article mainly about?A.

30、ares for 2018 Winter Games in Pyeong Chang. South Korea So, the joint women's hockey team has created its own dictionary. The three-page document translates important hockey terms from English into South Korean, and then into North Korean.Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach. She says t
31、he document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-member South Korean team.South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrase
32、s into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. .Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two countries are different. The divide is wider with technical language,
33、like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word "pass," but their North Korean teammates say "yeol lak" or "communication." North Koreans say "nahl gay soo" meaning "wing player." South
34、Koreans call that position "wing," like in English. South Koreans say "block shot" while North Koreans say "buhduh make: or "stretching to block."Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Kore
35、an assistant coach plays an important part in bridging the divide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent o
36、f South Koreans opposed the joint team.However, that opposition appears to be lessening as the Olympics near.28.What factor mainly causes the communication barriers for North and South Joint Hockey Team?A.

40、tive B. Negative C. Objective D. SubjectiveDPolice recently caught the suspected Golden State Killer using a tool they could only have dreamed of decades ago, when a shocking series of murders shook California: a database filled with peoples genetic data (基因数据).Polic
41、e used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72- year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo.GEDmatchs 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic informa
42、tion, making it accessible to others who share their own data including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly t
43、racked through the combination of their DNA and the publicly available family history,” says Dr. Robert Green, a medical geneticist at Harvard Medical School.Data sent to commercial companies like 23andMe, which has over 5 million customers, is much tougher for outsiders to access, but the case has
44、still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy.Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations (调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officials
45、, ” a company representative told TIME.The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be worki
46、ng. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics. As long as thats the case, Green says, the good of genetic tests outweighs the bad.Sharon Zehe, a lawyer for the department of laborato
47、ry medicine and pathology at the Mayo Clinic, takes a more cautious approach. “Family tree services can be fun, but make sure you are using a reputable organization that has strong privacy policies in place, ” she says. “Genetic data is biologically as important as a fingerprint.”32.Who is the Golde
