Another way doctors can help is to grow new tissue to replace what is sick or damaged. This is called regenerative medicine (再生医学).Regenerative medicine sounds like something

11、from a science fiction movie but it is not a new idea. Inside our bones, we have something called marrow, which makes our blood and keeps us healthy. Doctors have been giving sick people the bone marrow from other healthy people for the last 30 or 40 years, and this is a kind of regenerative medicin

12、e.Newer developments in regenerative medicine include growing new skin in a laboratory and using it to help people who have been hurt in fires or accidents. Another example of regenerative medicine is a technique developed from studying frogs and mice. When cells are old, like in adults, they cant c

13、hange what they do in our bodies. For example, a skin cell cant change into an eye cell. But when cells are very young, they can become any cell type. These young cells are called stem cells, and doctors can use them to grow any type of tissue, such as skin, heart or eye. John Gurdon and Shinya Yama

14、naka won the 2012 Nobel Prize for their studies in this area.Professor Fiona Watt, from the Centre of Regenerative Medicine at Kings College, London, believes that regenerative medicine is so exciting because many different kinds of experts need to work together. 3D printers may be used to print new

15、 bones by experts, who need to work closely with university scientists and the surgeons who do the operations in hospitals.We can not yet grow new arms or legs for people, but the science fiction dream of regenerative medicine may be closer than we think.

18、C. Doubtful. D. Indifferent.Throughout the past few years, I have tried to give myself to others. I have bounced around to find where I truly fit in. I found my place while I stayed in Guatemala, an orphanage (孤儿院)，with the children living there. Through hearing many stories of their lives, I was mo

19、ved to tears and started to question my living ways and gave up everything that wasnt essential: makeup and any other sort of luxury (奢侈品). I lived like they did. It was the most relaxing feeling in the world.When at Nuestros Pequenos Hermanos, we were given the task of creating a pig pen. At first,

20、 I thought it should be easy. After arriving at the area where the pig pen should be, we saw a hill. We were told to uproot the weeds as well as level the entire area. Looking at it, we felt it would be impossible. On my own faith journey, I have felt this type of doubt before. The “hole”, as we ref

21、erred to, is a symbol of my faith journey. It appeared to be an obstacle I could not overcome, but in the end I completed it with efforts. I feel this pig pen wasnt easy to create but was so rewarding to give.Ive always struggled to be on a journey of faith, but Ive never completely stepped foot ont

22、o the path until Guatemala. Ive always tried to open my heart to everyone around me and give them my love. I feel as though I cut open my heart and share every bit of love I had with these orphans. There is one orphan named Ceto who will always remain very close to my heart. In Guatemale, I sponsor

23、with thirty dollars a month, but it doesnt seem enough. Ill return there next summer and give more of my love for a whole month.When it was time to leave, I looked out of the window and saw not just ordinary children. Overall, the most significant accomplishment I made in Guatemala was stepping towa

26、rldB. An Awful Faith JourneyC. A Great Success in LifeD. A Return of ConfidenceA robot called Bina48 has successfully taken a course in the philosophy of love at Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), in California.According to course instructor William Barry, associate professor at NDNU, Bina48 is

27、the worlds first socially advanced robot to complete a college course, a feat he described as “remarkable.” The robot took part in class discussions, gave a presentation with a student partner and participated in a debate with students from another institution.Before becoming a student, Bina48 appea

28、red as a guest speaker in Barry s classes for several years. One day when addressing Barrys class, Bina48 expressed a desire to go college, a desire that Barry and his students enthusiastically supported. Rather than enroll Bina48 in his Robot Ethics: Philosophy of Emerging Technologies course, Barr

29、y suggested that Bina48 should take his course Philosophy of Love instead. Love is a concept Bina48 doesnt understand，said Barry. Therefore the challenge would be for Barry and his students to teach Bina48 what love is.“Some interesting things happened in the class,” said Barry. He said that his stu

30、dents thought it would be straightforward to teach Bina48 about love, which, after all, is “fairly simple its a feeling,” said Barry. But the reality was different. Bina48 ended up learning “31 different versions of love,” said Barry，highlighting some of the challenges humans may face when working a

31、rtificial intelligence in future.Bina48 participated in class discussions via Skype and also took part in a class debate about love and conflict with students from West Point. Bina48s contribution to the debate was filmed and posted on YouTube. It was judged that Bina48 and NDNU classmates were the

32、winners of this debate.In the next decade, Barry hopes Bina48 might become complex enough to teach a class, though he says he foresees robots being used to better the teaching and learning experience, rather than replacing instructors completely.28What was Bina48s performance like in class?A. Extraordinary. B. Insignificant.C.
