Timothy Letts, 31, was driving north to visit a friend when his phone pinged with the request for

Sumiel’s ride home. The trip was out of Letts’s way. Still, he took the fare, figuring if the pasnger

was coming from a medical facility, he likely needed a ride. When Sumiel got into the car, Letts

could e that the older man was tired but in good spirits. And as they t out on the 40-minute drive

to Sumiel’s home in Salem, the pair got to chatting. Sumiel, who works in sales at a company that

produces piping, mentioned that in the past he’d enjoyed volunteering in his community. But he was

doing less the days, he explained, becau the dialysis (

透析

) treatments left him extremely tired.

Then Sumiel revealed that he was arching for a kidney donor. Letts said that he’d be a good donor

candidate, given that he didn’t drink or smoke. Sumiel agreed, though he didn’t think much of it as

they kept driving. Letts, however, couldn’t stop thinking about it. Letts believes in helping others.

Plus, he already liked and respected Sumiel. So, about a quarter-mile away from Sumiel’s hou,

Letts said, “I’d like to e if I could be a match to give you a kidney.”

Sumiel was touched by Letts’s offer, though he wondered if it had just been an emotional moment.

Would he hear from him? And what was the likelihood they’d be a match? But Letts was true to his

word. He had contacted the kidney transplant program. After a months long screening process and

testing, the results were in: Letts was an ideal donor, and he and Sumiel were a perfect match.

On Dec. 7, 2021, 14 months after they ended up in the same car by chance, Sumiel and Letts had

their surgeries. Today Sumiel is doing well, working full time and enjoying time with his family and

A

．

Curious.

Scientists find when tiny plastics end up in farm fields, the pollution can impair plant growth. But

two young rearchers now report that combining fungi (

真菌

) with certain farm wastes can partially

overcome that problem. May Shin, 20, and Jiwon Choi, 18, prented their discovery at the 2023

Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair(ISEF).

The pair met in a rearch design class at the Fryeburg Academy, a high school in Maine. May had

wanted to explore how microplastics might affect the ecosystem. Jiwon was fascinated by plants and

fungi. The young scientists shared their interests, May says, to test how long-lived plastics might

affect farm crops—and how to limit any harm.

May and Jiwon planted more than 2,000 scallion (

韭蔥

) eds in pots of soil. Half the eds got soil

polluted with microplastics. The rest grew in plastic-free soil. The plants assigned to each soil were

further divided into four groups. The young scientists added certain microscopic fungi to the soil in

one group. Another group had a top layer of farm wastes. A third group got both treatments. The last

group got none. For three weeks, the pair tracked how many scallions sprouted (

萌芽

) in each group

and measured the plants’ height once each week.

About twice as many scallions sprouted in clean soil compared to that containing plastic bits. But

among plants surviving in the polluted soil, a combination of microscopic fungi and farm wastes

helped them out. Tho getting both treatments grew 5.4 centimeters(about 2 inches)per week. That

was faster than either of the treatments alone or tho getting none. It was slower, however, than

scallions planted in clean soil. They grew 7.2 centimeters(2.8 inches)per week.

In the future, the two young scientists hope to continue testing microscopic fungi and farm wastes

under other conditions. Their goal is to e how other factors might change the plants’ respon to

the soil treatments.

A study has discovered a new aspect of bacterial behavior, revealing that bacteria posss the ability

to create “memories” that influence their strategies, including resistance to antibiotics and the

formation of bacterial swarms (

群

).

Contrary to what one might expect, bacteria memories are not similar to human experiences, such as

recalling a childhood birthday party. Instead, they are more comparable to information storage in

computers. Rearchers at The University of Texas at Austin have found that bacteria u iron levels

to store information about their environment and behaviors. This information can then be activated

in respon to specific stimuli and pasd down to subquent generations.

“Iron, one of the most abundant elements on Earth, plays a crucial role in this process,” explained

Souvik Bhattacharyya, the lead author. He noted that variations in levels within bacterial cells

correlate with different bacterial behaviors. For instance. bacteria with lower iron levels exhibited

enhanced swarming abilities, while tho forming biofilms — den, sticky mats on surfaces —

showed higher iron levels. Interestingly, the “iron memories” persist for up to four generations and

disappear gradually by the venth.

This discovery opens new pathways for fighting with dangerous infections and addressing the

growing concern of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. It is not just a mere scientific curiosity but has

significant implications for medical and environmental applications. “Iron levels are definitely a

target for therapeutics (

療法

) becau iron is an important factor in virulence,” said Bhattacharyya.

Understanding and operating the iron-bad bacteria memories could lead to innovative strategies

to prevent and combat bacterial infections, especially tho involving antibiotic-resistant strains (

菌

株

). Reflecting on the evolutionary context, Bhattacharyya remarked, “Before there was oxygen in

the Earth’s atmosphere, early cellular life was using iron for a lot of cellular process. Iron is not

only critical in the origin of life on Earth, but also in the evolution of life.”

12. What is the purpo of the first paragraph?

13. What is paragraph 2 mainly about?

A

Iron levels.

C

Human experiences.

B

．

Bacteria memories.

D

．

Information in computers.

14. What does the underlined word ”persist” in paragraph 3 refer to?

A

．

Last. B

．

Hide. C

．

Sleep. D

．

Connect.

It reveals new power of bacteria.

B

．

It helps to improve earth’s atmosphere.

C

．

It highlights the importance of evolution.

D

It offers new ways to deal with antibiotic resistance.

Planning Out Story Ideas

Plotting a story out can still be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be disappointing! Start by planning

out your story ideas.

Brainstorm to generate and character plot ideas.

16 Try freewriting everything that comes to

mind, or list out your ideas. You might make a mind map to develop your ideas in a visual manner.

Write the summary of your story.

17 You might start with just a ntence, but keep developing it

until you have a short and general description.

18 Write down your character’s description, personal details, likes and dislikes. Create a backstory

for your main characters. Describe your characters at the beginning of the story, as well as how

they’ll change over the cour of the story.

Identify a central conflict.

Your conflict should appear early in the story so your readers experience

tension as they read. You’ll develop this conflict throughout the story, reaching the peak of the

conflict at the climax (

高潮

). At the end of the story, your conflict should be resolved. Internal

conflicts are between the character and himlf. 19

Establish your tting.

Your tting is very important for your plot becau it will influence how

your story looks and develops. 20 If you’re tting your story in a place or time period unfamiliar

to you, do some rearch to learn more about it. It’s a good idea to look at photos of your tting,

whether you u personal photos or pictures available online.

A

．

It gives the main points of the story.

B

．

It is when and where your story takes place.

C

．

External conflicts occur outside the character.

D

．

This will help you to solve the conflict of your story.
