5、：7.00)Stem Cell Therapy May Help Repair the HeartAccording to scientists in the USA, stem cell therapy may one day be able to repair the hearts of people with heart failure. Researchers at Pittsburgh University School of Medicine examined 20 patients who had severe heart failure and were going to ha

6、ve surgery. They injected stem cells into the parts of their hearts that were damaged. They then compared their hearts with those of people who had undergone surgery without having the stem cells injected into them (they had also suffered from severe heart failure). The patients who had the stem cel

7、ls injected had hearts that were able to pump (用泵抽水) more blood than the others. According to Professor Robert Kormos, one of the researchers, these results could revolutionize heart treatment. Although previous studies had indicated that there might be a benefit, this is the first study that has ac

8、tually proved that stem cell therapy can help the failing heart work better. All the patients in this study had hearts that could not pump blood properly. The scientists measured their ejection fraction (射血分数). This is a measure of heart performance; you measure how much blood is being pumped out by

9、 the left ventricle (心室). Healthy people“s ejection fraction is about 55%. These patients had ejection fraction of under 35%. They all had by-pass surgery (搭桥手术) performed on them. Some of the patients had stem cells taken from their hip bones and injected into 25-30 sites in the damaged heart muscl

10、e. Six months later their ejection fraction rate was 46.1% while those who just had surgery but no stem cell injections averaged 37.2%. No side effects were reported. Heart failure is a common problem all over the world. In the UK alone about 650,000 people suffer from heart failure every year. As t

11、he number of people suffering from heart failure increases in the world in general these findings are particularly significant. Current treatments relieve the symptoms. This new stem cell therapy actually repairs the damaged muscle in the heart and has the potential of curing the disease.（分数：7.00）(1

We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about

15、someone without really knowing anything about him or heraside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits. 2. The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person“s

16、eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as difference. In fact, your brain continuously process incoming sensory informationthe sights and sounds of your world, these incoming “signals“ are compared against a host of “memories“ stored in the brain are

17、as called the cortex system to determine what these new signals “mean“. 3. If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe“. If you see someone new, it says, “new-potentially, threatening“. Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other “known

18、“ memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “His is new. I don“t like this person“. Or else, “I“m intrigued“. Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnic

19、ity, gestureslike your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person“. But these preliminary “impressions“ can be dead wrong. 4. When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical im

20、pressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of peopletheir history, interest, values, strengths, and true characterwe categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks. 5. However, if we resist initial stereotypical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly

21、like. If we spend time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person“s character, we use a different, more mature style of thinkingand the most complex areas of our cortex, which allow us to be humane.（分数：8.00）(1).A.

25、into the growth of cancer cells could be candidates for the Nobel Prize in medicine when the 2008 winners are presented on Monday, kicking off six days Nobel announcements. Australian-born U. S. citizen Elizabeth Blackburn and American Carol Greider have already won a series of medical honors for th

26、eir enzyme research and experts say they could be among the front-runners for Nobel. Only seven women have won the medicine prize since the first Nobel Prizes were handed out in 1901. The last female winner was U.S. researcher Linda Buck in 2004, who shared the prize with Richard Axel. Among the pai

27、r“s possible rivals are Frenchman Pierre Chambon and Americans Ronald Evans and Elwood Jensen, who opened up the field of studying proteins called nuclear hormone receptors. As usual, the award committee is giving no hints about who is in the running before presenting its decision in a news conferen

28、ce at Stockholm“s Karolinska Institute. Alfred Nobel, the Swede who invented dynamite, established the prizes in his will in the categories of medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and peace. The economics prize is technically not a Nobel but a 1968 creation of Sweden“s central bank. Nobel left f

29、ew instructions on how to select winners, but medicine winners are typically awarded for a specific breakthrough rather than a body of research. Hans Jornvall, secretary of the medicine prize committee, said the 10 million kronor (US $1.3 million) prize encourages groundbreaking research hut he did

30、not think winning it was the primary goal for scientists. “Individual researchers probably don“t look at themselves as potential Nobel Prize winners when they“re at work,“ Jornvall told The Associated Press. “They get their kicks from their research and their interest in how life functions.“ In 2006

31、, Blackburn, of the University of California, San Francisco, and Greider, of Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, shared the Lasker prize for basic medical research with Jack Szostak of Harvard Medical School. Their work set the stage for research suggesting that cancer cells use telomerase to sus

35、Urged for All Pregnant WomenA recent study in Tanzania found that when pregnant women took vitamins every day, fewer babies were born too small. Babies that weigh less than two and one-half kilograms at birth have a greater risk of dying. Those that survive are more likely to experience problems wit

36、h their development. And experts say that as adults they have a higher risk of diseases including heart disease and diabetes. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that every year twenty million babies are born with low birth weight. Nine out of ten of them are born in developing countries.

37、The new study took place in Dares Salaam. 4,200 pregnant women received multivitamins. The pills contained all of the vitamins in the B group along with vitamins C and E. They also contained several times more iron and folate than the levels advised for women in developed nations. Pregnant women esp

38、ecially in poor countries may find it difficult to get enough vitamins and minerals from the foods in their diet. The scientists compared the findings with results from a group of 4,000 women who did not receive the vitamins. A report by the scientists, from the United States and Tanzania, appeared

39、in the New England Journal of Medicine . Wafaie Fawzi of the Harvard University School of Public Health led the study. None of the women in the study had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. The scientists reported earlier that daily multivitamins were a low-cost way to reduce fetal deaths in pregnant w

40、omen infected with HIV. The earlier work in Tanzania also found improvement in the mothers in their number of blood cells known as lmphocytes. Lymphocytes increase the body“s immunity against infection. The new study in pregnant women who were not infected with the AIDS virus found that multivitamin

41、s reduced the risk of low birth weight. Just under eight percent of the babies born to women who took the multivitamins weighed less than 2,500 grams. The rate was almost nine and one-half percent in the group of women who received a placebo, an inactive pill, instead of the vitamins. But the vitami

42、ns did not do much to reduce the rates of babies being born too early or dying while still a fetus. Still, the researchers say multivitamins should be considered for all pregnant women in developing countries.（分数：15.00）(1).How many babies are born with low birth weight in the developed countries eve

47、eriences, one little fact gets overlooked: no one has identified any genes (other than those that cause retardation) that affect intelligence. So researchers led by Robert Plomin of London“s Institute of Psychiatry decided to look for some. They figured that if you want to find a smart gene, you sho

48、uld look in smart kids. They therefore examined the DNA of students like those who are so bright that they take college entrance exams four years earlyand still score at Princeton-caliber levels. The scientists found what they sought. “We have“ says Plomin, “the first specific gene ever associated w

49、ith general intelligence.“ Plomin“s colleagues drew blood from two groups of 51 children each, all 6 to 15 years old and living in six counties around Cleveland. In one group, the average IQ is 103. All the children are white. Isolating the blood cells, the researchers then examined each child“s chromosome 6. Of the 37 landmarks on chromosome 6 that the researchers looked for, one jumped out: a form of gene called IGF2R occurred in twice as many children in the high-IQ group as in the average group32 percent versus 16 percent. The study, in the May issue of the journal P
