Something to Boast about
Are your information data safe and reliable
In an ideal world such data, however informative and exploratory they are, (21)_______ a scientific study is based on should be, if not publicly available, then at least available to other researchers. Sadly, this is not always the case.
Many scientists are still quite unwilling to have their data revealed though attitudes are changing. This attitude, (22)_______ selfish, is understandable.
But sometimes it can cover a darker secret. The statistics presented in a paper may have been controlled to achieve a desired result. The author may, in other words, have cheated. If he releases the data, that cheating will be obvious.
Now Sean Wilner and his colleagues (23)_______(come) up with a way of reconstructing all the possible data sets that could have given rise to that result, which includes (24)_______(release) the data. And they call the way CORVIDS (Complete Recovery of Values in Diophantine Systems).
(25)_______(simplify) the task of spotting abnormal data, CORVIDS turns the possible data sets into a three-dimensional (三维的) chart. This makes any unusual patterns apparent. For example, every (26)_______(reconstruct) data set may be missing values at one end of the scale. That might make sense occasionally. Generally, though, such a gap would be a red flag. It would suggest either that the statistics were reported incorrectly or (27)_______ there were problems with the fundamental data.
CORVIDS is likely to be (28)_______ immediate value to editors and reviewers at academic journals, who will be able to spot problems with papers early, and so discuss them with the authors. If an unresolvable problem (29)_______ show up, then the technique can be applied to previous work by the author in question, to see if anything systematic is going on.
But its speed makes it a useful first step. If the data sets (30)_______ finds do not show any strange patterns, CORVIDS is unlikely to show oddness, either.
Anyway, the trustworthiness of scientific papers will take a step up with CORVIDS.
答案
21. as 22. though / although 23. have come 24. releasing 25. To simplify
26. reconstructed 27. that 28. of 29. does 30. it

I saw dramatic rocky outcrops, canyons, waterfalls and forests as I zipped through the valley and up the mountain road. Even though it was August, the weather was perfect. Unfortunately, the support car that carried our lunch (28)________(delay). By the time it arrived, I was starving. Being consumed of energy even for that short time affected the rest of my ride. When the hard last 10 kilometers arrived, I really struggled to complete them. At one point I (29)________see how close the top of the peak was, but it still felt so far away. Fortunately, determination carried me to the finish. (30)________(exhaust), I conquered Wuling! What a tremendous feeling!

Do Animals Dream
You can’t see your sleeping pet’s brain waves, but its behavior can tell you when Fido or Fluffy might be dreaming. If you watch closely, you’ll see that as your cat falls asleep, her breathing becomes slow and regular and her body still. She has entered the first stage of sleep, (21)________(call) slow-wave sleep. After about 15 minutes you’ll notice a change (22)________ her eyes move under her closed lids. Fluffy has entered the REM(Rapid Eye Movement), or dreaming, stage of sleep. Although she moves and makes little grunting noises, messages from her brain to the large muscles in her legs (23)________(block), so she can’t run about.
Back in 1963, Michel Jouvet, a French scientist who was studying sleep in cats, (24)________(interrupt) their sleep paralysis, the state of being unable to act or function properly. (25)________ they were completely asleep, the dreaming cats began to chase balls that Jouvet couldn’t see and bent their backs at invisible enemies. He figures he was watching them act out their dreams!
What were they dreaming about Mostly, the dreaming cats seemed (26)________(practise) important cat skills: stalking, pouncing, and fighting.
In (27)________ study, Matt Wilson, a neuroscientist, recorded rats’ brain waves while they learned mazes(迷宫). One day, he left the brain-wave-recording machine on while the rats fell asleep. The pattern of brain waves in the sleeping rats matched the pattern from the maze so closely that Wilson could locate exactly which part of the maze each rat was dreaming about!
Many researchers now think that in both people and animals, one purpose of dreams is to practise important skills and nail down recent learning. This may explain why so many people dream about fighting and escaping, skills (28)________ were probably vitally important to our ancestors, and why dreaming affects our ability to learn.
Do all animals dream From looking at the brain waves of sleeping animals, scientists think that all mammals dream, such as humans, dogs, lions, and whales, but fish (29)________not. (They’re not sure about birds.)
How often animals dream seems to be tied to body size. Cats dream about every 15 minutes, mice every 9 minutes, and elephants every 2 hours. And though cows and horses usually sleep standing up, they only dream when (30)________(lie) down.

Their initial training (25)_______(follow) by eight hours of nighttime sleep or wakefulness or daytime wakefulness.
More than twice as many participants gained insight into the hidden rule after sleep as those who did after wakefulness, regardless of the time of day. The researchers concluded that “sleep, by restructuring new memory representations, (26) _______(facilitate) obtaining of expressive knowledge and insightful behavior.”
Reduces depression
Often influenced by chemical imbalances in the brain, depression and sleep problems go hand-in-hand. People with depression may either have a hard time sleeping or else get too much sleep.

Of course, there are possible drawbacks to rereading as well. Rereading takes time, (27)________(draw) the readers away from their to-be-read list. And it’s hard to imagine (28)________ frustrating it can be if a beloved book falls short of your rosy memories in rereading.
According to David Galef, emotions like pleasure, excitement, and curiosity cause the reader to rush through a story and pass over the inner complexity (29)________(appreciate) in re-readings, and yet they are also important elements that may be dulled by those repeated readings.

Children's Fine Motor Skills
Using a fork to eat, zipping up a sweatshirt and turning a doorknob are all things most people do without thinking, but children spend their early years developing and refining these abilities. They are known as fine motor skills, (21)_______ the small muscles of the hands with adequate strength, dexterity(灵巧) and coordination(协调) to grasp and control objects and used. It is firmly believed (22)_______ later, fine motor skills do help children to succeed in school. (23)_______ are also important in day-to-day life.
(24)_______ (watch) a baby use their uncoordinated arms and legs might be adorable, but these early reactions are practice for the fine motor skills they'll eventually develop. (25)_______ Stephanie Reich, a professor of the University of California, toddlers need to increase the coordination of fine movements in the preschool years. (26)_______ children grow older, these fine motor skills will improve and become more complex. For example, a 4-year-old may hold a crayon with their fist, using their whole hand to draw. But five-year-olds can start using a pencil between the first and middle fingers and thumb, as adults can.
The elementary school years and beyond see (27)_______(advanced) fine motor skills, such as when children learn to tie shoes between 5 and 6 years old.

Three Myths About Skin
We put importance into caring for skin since it’s the first thing other people see. Skin might be one of the least correctly (21)_______(interpret) parts of our bodies. So today, I’d like to run through three myths we have about skin.
Myth No. 1: Healthy skin is skin that looks perfect. When we talk of healthy skin, we (22)_______ think of a clear and smooth surface. But skin is a living organ, (23)_______ heart or lungs and any other complex organ, serving many functions, not just about what’s going on at the surface.
Myth No. 2: You only need sunscreen on sunny days. UV rays from the sun are so strong that (24)_______ damage our cells’ DNA. There are two types that affect the skin. UVA rays damage protein in skin, quickening the pace of aging. UVB rays, meanwhile, cook the outer layer of the skin, causing sunburn. (25)_______ our cells can repair that damage to some extent, it accumulates over time, and can lead to skin cancer. When our skin (26)_______(expose) to UV rays, it gets darker, which is the way of showing it’s been damaged. So by wearing sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy, you are protecting yourself from sunburn, early aging and skin cancer.
Myth No. 3: You can shrink pores. Pores are the tiny openings in our skin. They’re (27)_______ let sweat cool you and oil smooth skin. Pore size is largely determined by genes,(28)_______ function is to carry information for particular characteristics, and rarely changes. In other words, pores don’t really shrink. So stop (29)_______(spend) your money on pore minimizers and just wash your face with the products basically made from stuff that won’t block pores.
Our skin is (30)_______ amazing organ, so let’s treat it right and forget about those myths, OK

Alcohol is physically bad for you in any quantity; and the more you drink, the worse its health effects. The gigantic report on the subject (21)_______(publish) last week is authoritative. It makes depressing reading —“sobering”(清醒) would be the wrong word here, not least (22)_______ few people are likely to change their behaviour as a result. But it is difficult to argue with the conclusions. The report was based on enormous amounts of data: 28 million people around the world were examined in 592 studies to estimate the health risks, while the popularity of drinking was estimated using a further 694 studies. Some of the effects of large-scale drinking are really shocking. Around the world today, alcohol is responsible for 20% of the deaths in the 15 to 49 age group.
The variety of ways in which alcohol can kill or damage people comes as a shock. In the poorest countries, its primary means of damage is through TB(结核); (23)_______ countries grow more developed, the damage shifts to cancer and heart disease. It is the trade-off between cancer and heart disease (24)_______ leads the researchers to reject the notion that moderate drinking has health benefits: they find that the increased risk of cancers outweighs the diminished risk of heart disease among middle-aged moderate drinkers.
Perhaps (25)_______(surprising) single finding is that two-thirds of the world’s population don’t drink at all. They manage without a drug apparently essential to civilised life in the west. The question is (26)_______ those of us in the other third should try to imitate them. The researchers are unequivocal (明确的). They want concerted(协力一致的) government action (27)_______(deliver) lower alcohol consumption, using many of the same mechanisms that (28) _______(implement) successfully against tobacco: price rises, restrictions on advertising, (29)_______(limit) the availability of the drug. The report is right that many people (30)_______ drink less than they do. Perhaps the real benefit of moderate drinking is not that it protects the heart, but that it requires a little self-discipline.

Repair Café
When things around the house stop working, what do you usually do with them
If you’re (21)_______ a lot of people, you probably just throw them away.
This tendency has led to the modern nickname: the throwaway culture. There are many reasons for this trend. In some areas (22)_______ it’s difficult to find people who can make repairs, fixing things can be quite expensive. Also, some small appliances are so inexpensive that it’s often much (23)_______(easy) to just buy a new one.
In 2009, Martine Postma from the Netherlands decided there must be a better way. Her solution was Repair Cafés: places where people can take damaged or (24)_______(tear) items. There they will find tools, resources and volunteer experts who are willing to help with repairs.
Postma’s first Repair Café opened on Oct. 18, 2009, in Amsterdam, and was a huge success. News of the café spread, and people began asking (25)_______ they could start their own. In 2011, Postma established the Repair Café Foundation. This nonprofit organization provides guidance to those hoping to begin their own neighborhood repair group.
Today, there are roughly 2,000 Repair Cafés around the world with meetings typically (26)_______(occur) once a month. Around 25 objects per session are repaired. (27)_______is free, but donations are greatly appreciated.
Not only (28)_______ the cafés provide help with repairs, they also strengthen community ties. Neighbors get to know one another as they work together on projects. In addition, valuable knowledge is passed along and preserved. Items are kept rather than thrown away, meaning less trash in landfills. (29)_______ an average broken item weighs a kilo, it’s been estimated that 2,000 Repair Cafés prevent 35,000 kilos of trash every month. That (30)_______(add) up to about 420,000 kilos per year!
