10、nd appears to be like any other typical pre-teen. She loves to skip rope, read and play with her younger sister. But this modest youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but aver

11、age. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music worldAlmas operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist. Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a

12、song. “In my Cinderella, she sings the beginning of a ballad - but at midnight she flees. Eventually, the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.”The opera was first performed in Vienna, Australia on December 29, 2016, where the then eleven-year-old s

13、killfully switched between the piano and the violin and receives enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works, once in Australia and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young, Alma is not worried. She says, “of course I have to work h

14、ard. But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly exciting, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Almas musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was ab

15、le to hum a pitch perfect version of the childrens rhymeTwinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Almas abilities only gained international attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overn

16、ight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mo

17、zart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!21. What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A.

In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me

21、: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter t

22、o college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, its another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now shes gone, and I find nighttimes the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents

23、whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we

24、 had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story 3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And its not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college s

25、aid the separation didnt get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life.

In an ea

29、rly research in 2012, Martin Fussenegger at ETH Zurish in Switzerland and his colleagues engineered two kidney cells to become a biological circuit capable of simple mathematics. One of the cells was able to calculate addition: the presence or absence of each of two chemicals would switch on a react

30、ion inside the cell that would make it shine different colours. The other cell worked in the same way but could subtract amounts. This kind of biological circuit resembles a simple logic circuit in a computer. In theory, it could be used to indicate the presence of an infectious substance while in f

31、act it failed. Most biological reactions in the body arent that simple, though. They rarely rely on “one input and one output” instead, multiple inputs lead to different outputs. For instance, a high level of calcium in the body in the presence of a specific hormone may suggest one disease, but a hi

32、gh level of calcium along with another hormone might indicate a completely different condition. To be more practical, biological computers need to be able to perform more complex mathematics. However, it is hard to pack multiple calculations into a single cell. To get around this, Fussenegger and his team have engineered a multicellular system, in which different cells each perform a separate calculation and pass on the results to each other. The syst
