• 1．The Ig Nobel Prize，a spoof （滑稽模仿） of the actual Nobel Prize，exists to award the 10 strangest research projects of the year that bring you fun and make you think．The following are three of them in 2019．
     Medicine Prize：Pizza
     It's one of the world's most popular foods．According to the Ig Nobel Medicine Prize winner，eating more pizzas can lower the risk of cancer and heart disease - if your pizza is loaded with fruits and veggies．These provide flavonoids （類黃酮） to fight against certain diseases．So，if you're a pizza enthusiast，you now have one more reason to love it!
     Economics Prize：Dirty Money
     Paper money，the most frequently passed items on the planet，is known to pick up all kinds of bacteria．Which country's currency is the dirtiest？An international team compared seven countries' paper money．The Romanian Leu was the only one to carry all three types of bacteria tested．And the US Dollar was also a finalist．Perhaps this will make cashless payments more popular．
     Biology Prize：Cockroach
     Cockroaches （蟑螂） are well known for their survival abilities，but few folks know they can sense magnetic fields．More surprisingly，an international team found that dead cockroaches have more magnetic properties （磁性） than live ones．That's because magnetic properties decrease when the temperature gets higher．So if you can stand cockroaches，they may be good magnetic sensors．
  
  （1）What do the three prizes have in common？

  
  A．They are beneficial to our health．
  B．They are entertaining and unusual．
  C．They've gained the recognition of the Nobel Prize．
  D．They are stranger than any other project in previous years．
  （2）What can we learn from the passage？

  
  A．People with heart disease should eat more pizzas．
  B．US Dollar is relatively dirtier than Romanian Leu．
  C．Dirty paper money leads to cashless payments．
  D．Dead cockroaches are better magnetic sensors than live ones．
  （3）In which column can you find this passage in a newspaper？

  
  A．Discovery．
  B．Sports．
  C．Health．
  D．Business．

• 2．Growing up，Deka Ismail says she let labels define what she could be． "I was a black girl，from a refugee （難民） family，" Deka said． "It was as if I was only allowed to explore in this predetermined box．"
     After a high school chemistry class inspired her to think about a career in science and gave her confidence in the field，Deka learned to live outside labels and began making big plans for her future．Now she is about to begin her freshman year at the University of California，planning to become a professor．
     Born and raised in San Diego's City Heights neighbourhood，Deka is the daughter of a Somali refugee couple．While some might say Deka's success happened in spite of her background，she would say differently，that her experiences shaped her and inspired her to be the driven，young scientist that she is today．
     When Deka was eight years old，her mother got a job by studying hard back in school in order to support the whole family．That made Deka realize that education could have an effect on one's life．She spent a lot of time in the library reading books，and didn't do many of the things her peers did，like partying or having romantic relationships．
     "I always felt like I had to be the perfect girl for my family，" Deka said． "You have to not even do your best but two times better than everyone else．I felt like the whole world was waiting for me to change．"
     Deka's efforts paid off．The summer before her senior year of high school，she was accepted to the American Chemical Society Project SEED Programme． "She brought both enthusiasm and focus，" Botham，a researcher at this research institute，recalled． "She arrived every day ready to work，ready to learn and ready to tackle new challenges regardless of whether or not she had done anything similar．"
     When asked what advice she would give to others like her，Deka warned them not to underestimate themselves． "Don't tell yourself that scholarship is too big or this programme is too competitive or I'll never get into this school， " she said． "I was not sure whether I could make it until I started seeing the acceptance letters rolling in．"
  
  （1）From the passage，we can learn that

  ．
  A．Deka was adopted by a refugee family
  B．Deka spent a lot of time going to parties
  C．Deka became a professor after graduation
  D．Deka's experiences drove her to work hard

  ．
  A．from her mother's experience
  B．a(chǎn)fter her chemistry class
  C．by reading books in the library
  D．through working at the institute
  （3）According to the last paragraph，Deka advised that students be

  ．
  A．patient
  B．confident
  C．a(chǎn)mbitious
  D．generous
  （4）What does the story intend to tell us？

  
  A．Life is not all roses．
  B．Practice makes perfect．
  C．Well begun is half done．
  D．Hard work leads to success．

• 3．Today's world is not an easy adjustment for young adults．A key skill set for success is persistence（毅力），characteristic that researchers say is heavily influenced by fathers．Researchers from Brigham Young University discovered that fathers are in a unique position to help their adolescent children learn persistence．
     BYU professors Laura Padilla-Walker and Randal Day arrived at these findings after following 325 American families over several years．And over time，the persistence gained through fathers led to higher achievement in school．
     "There are relatively few studies that stress the unique role of fathers，" Padilla-Walker said． "This research also helps to prove that characteristics such as persistence -- which can be taught -- are key to a child's life success．"
     Researchers determined that dads need to practice an "authoritative" parenting style．Authoritative parenting is not authoritarian：rigid，demanding or controlling．Rather，an authoritative parenting style includes some of the following characteristics：children feel warmth and love from their father；responsibility and the reasons behind rules are stressed；children are given an appropriate level of autonomy（自主權(quán)）．
     In the study，about 52 percent of the dads exhibited above-average levels of authoritative parenting．Key finding is that over time，children raised by an authoritative father were significantly more likely to develop persistence，which leads to better outcomes in school．
     This particular study examined 11 to 14-year-olds living in two-parent homes．Yet the researchers suggest that single parents still may play a role in teaching the benefits of persistence，which is an avenue of future research．
  
  （1）What is special about the BYU professors' study？

  
  A．It centered on fathers' role in parenting．
  B．It was based on a number of large families．
  C．It analyzed different kinds of parenting styles．
  D．It aimed to improve kids' achievement in school．
  （2）What would an authoritative father do when raising his children？

  
  A．Ignore their demands．
  B．Make decisions for them．
  C．Control their behaviors．
  D．Explain the rules to them．
  （3）Which group can be a focus of future studies according to the researchers？

  
  A．Single parents．
  B．Children aged from 11 to 14．
  C．Authoritarian fathers．
  D．Mothers in two-parent homes．
  （4）Which of the following is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Three Characteristics of Authoritative Fathers
  B．Key Skills for Young Adults to Succeed in Future
  C．Children Tend to Learn Determination from Father
  D．Family Relationship Influences School Performance

      Last month I went to the island of Lesvos in Greece for a holiday with my wife．Strange enough，even though I went there for a rest，I actually worked harder than I had ever done ago．Instead of spending my days on the beach sunbathing and swimming in the sea，I end up helping the locals deal with the endless arrival of refugees，many of them were struggling to get to the beach after their boats had turned over．
      Anyway，this holiday turned out to be one of the most unforgettable experience of my life．When I'm alone these days，I am disturbed by the memories of the faces of parents who could not find out their children and the sound of people screamed for help．What the people of Lesvos did help these people，opening their homes to them and sharing the fewer possessions they themselves owned，was absolutely amazing．It was completely touched by the generosity of the people of Lesvos．
