Yellowstone Poster Exhibition to Be on View at UW's Coe Library
A first-of-its-kind exhibition that focuses on the history of Yellowstone National Park posters will be on display at the University of Wyoming's Coe Library beginning Tuesday,February 1.
"Wonderland Illustrated"will present posters and poster-style illustrations of the park spanning from the 1870s through 2022.The exhibition will be located on Level 3 of Coe Library.It will be on view through Tuesday,May 31.
The exhibition takes place at the same time as this year's 150th anniversary of the creation of Yellowstone National Park.The posters in the exhibition serve the purpose of both advertising and art.
"We're thrilled to be working with Yellowstone collectors Jack and Susan Davis, and Larry and Thea Lancaster to bring this exhibition to the University of Wyoming as part of year-long celebrations recognizing Yellowstone's 150th anniversary,"says Tamsen Hert,head of UW Libraries'Emmett D.Chisum Special Collections."This exhibition involves the history of printing,art,photography and advertising over 16 decades.The images reproduced are found on travel brochures,postcards and maps—many of which are held in our collections."
One poster from the exhibition—Henry Wellge's "Yellowstone National Park" from1904—was recently purchased with donated funds and is now part of UW Libraries' Emmett D. Chisum Special Collections. Wellge,a productive
bird's-eye-view artist,designed the piece for the Northern Pacific Railroad,which used it to advertise the park.This is a unique piece,as posters such as this one were printed on soft paper and very few have survived.

There can be no doubt that Stephen King,New York Time's Best-Selling author, has found success in many aspects,but it wasn't always like this.King witnessed tragedy and horrors from the very beginning.When he was 2 years old,his father told his mom that he was going out to get cigarettes but in fact,he never came back,he had abandoned his family.
This left his mother Ruth to care for Stephen and his elder brother David on her own.Ruth was forced to move often,desperately looking for work as she was now the only provider of the family,and she had to rely on relatives most of the time.One day Stephen went out to play with friends and when he came back,he wasn't even able to speak a single word,it seemed he was hurt mentally or something,but he still got the courage to continue forward.It turned out that one of his friends was hit by a train and died,which left an emotional scar on him.
King,later on,dropped out of school due to some serious health concerns and was told that he had to enlist(入伍)again the next fall,which demotivated him too. Although Stephen King didn't see his childhood as something extraordinary or special,he did say that he was always fascinated by scary things.People used to acknowledge the King family by their love of literature,in fact whenever Stephen's mom had to go out,she didn't hire a babysitter,for the kids used to read novels to each other so they would not get bored.Stephen King's love of stories was developed from a very young age and he carried that tradition with his own children along with his wife Tabitha.
In 1973,Stephen King started his amazing journey of success when he published his first novel Carrie,which is scary.The rest followed from after that as he published

For years,doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive.These transfusions usually include giving red blood cells to patients.
Blood transfusions aren't as simple as taking blood from one person and giving it to someone else.There're several different blood types that don't all mix well.If someone gets a transfusion of the wrong kind of blood,their body will reject the blood cells,causing problems.For the first time ever,scientists from the University of Bristol,Britain,are carrying out a new trail:testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers.The scientists have used stem cells(干细胞)from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells.
This could be even better than a regular blood transfusion.For one thing,they can be adjusted for people with different blood types.That'll be extremely helpful for people with rare blood types.Also,a normal transfusion has red blood cells of all different ages,which means only a small part of them are brand new.The red blood cells grown in the lab are brand new,and this means they last longer and that patients will need fewer transfusions.
试卷第5页,共12页
To test its safety,researchers have given a couple of teaspoons of the blood to two healthy people,both of whom seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions.In all,they'll be tested on 10 people,and compared to normal transfusions.The new process doesn't indicate that normal blood transfusions will disappear.Meanwhile, growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive.And a lot of work and testing still need to be done.But if it's successful,the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions—even those with rare blood types.
28.Why are the scientists carrying out the research
A.The blood reserve is not adequate.
B.Normal blood transfusions are out of date.
C.More and more people need blood transfusions.
D.They want to find a new trail of blood transfusions.
29.What's the advantages of the brand new red blood cells grown in the lab
A.They suit the patients of all different ages.
B.They have red blood cells from different races.
C.They are effective to the patients for a longer term.
D.It is extremely economical and makes life much easier.
30.Which of the following statements is true
A.The research still has a long way to go.
B.Normal blood transfusions will disappear soon.
C.Ten people have received the lab-grown brand new blood.
D.The brand new blood isn't fit for those with rare blood types.
31.What is the passage mainly about
A.The test of lab-grown blood.
B.Comparison of two blood transfusions.
C.An appeal for rare blood donation.
D.The expense of blood transfusions.
D
A joint research team recently have developed a new electronic skin that is similar to human skin in strength,durability( 耐 用 性 )and sensitivity.The skin or e-skin may play an important role in next-generation personalized medicine,soft robotics and artificial intelligence
"The ideal e-skin will mimic( 模 仿 )the many natural functions of human skin,
试卷第6页,共12页
such as sensing temperature and touch,accurately and in real time,"says leading researcher Yichen Cai.However,making suitably flexible electronics that can perform such delicate tasks while also used repeatedly is challenging,and each material involved must be carefully engineered.
Most e-skins are made by putting an active sensor on the surface that attaches to human skin.However,the connection between them is often too weak,which reduces the durability and sensitivity of the material;otherwise,if it is too strong,it won't be flexible enough,making it more likely to break the circuit.
"The landscape of skin electronics keeps shifting at a remarkable pace,"says Cai.
“The discovery of 2D sensors has accelerated efforts to turn these quite thin but strong materials into functional,durable artificial skins."
The new man-made skin built by the researchers could sense objects from 20 centimeters away.It could further make a quick response when touched in less than one tenth of a second."It is a striking achievement for an e-skin to maintain toughness after repeated use,"said Yichen,"which mimics the softness and rapid recovery of human skin."
This type of e-skin could monitor a range of biological information,such as changes in blood pressure,which can be detected from movements of arms and legs. This data can then be shared and stored on the cloud via Wi-Fi.
“One remaining problem to the widespread use of e-skins lies in mass production of high-resolution sensors,"adds group leader Vincent Tung,"However,the latest technology offers new promise."
32.What promotes the development of a new e-skin
A.Investment in education. B.Research into human skin.
C.Advance in medical science. D.The discovery of 2D sensors.
33.Which statement is true about the new e-skin
A.It's quite hard and tough. B.It's flexible and sensitive.
C.It can store information. D.It can adjust blood pressure
34.What may be talked about in the following paragraph
A.Other problems of the new e-skin.
B.Wide applications of the new e-skin in many areas.
C.The process of producing high-resolution sensors on a large scale.
D.The technology boosting high-resolution sensors'mass production.
试卷第7页,共12页
35.What is the best title for the text
A.A Breakthrough in Hi-tech. B.Man-made Skin,Improved.
C.E-skin,a Promising Business. D.The Widespread Use of E-skin.

Here come some of the ways advised to keep delighted and a healthy mood by Harvard.
◆ Be grateful and say thanks often
36 The tiny purple flowers on the sidewalk,the beautiful sunset,and the smile in your partner's eyes.When you have a grateful heart that is appreciative of life's beauty,wonder and blessings,you're automatically filled with delight.Always be appreciative of the blessings in your life.And it's equally important to express your appreciation to those who've made your life better in some way.
◆ 37
If your tendency is to imagine the very worst case whenever you have a trouble, train yourself to change that tendency.Ask yourself what good can come from the situation or what you can learn from it.Optimism surely fuels success and delight. 38 .Try to find humor and laughter in life's everyday struggles.
◆ Understand and forgive
Step into others'shoes and understand a situation from another's perspective, and we're more likely to handle the situation with objectivity and effectiveness.There will be less conflicts and more delight.
Hate and anger are forms of self-punishment.When you forgive,you're actually practicing kindness to yourself.Most importantly,learn to forgive yourself.Everyone makes mistakes. 39
◆ Keep learning and be a problem solver
Learning keeps us young and olive.When engaging our brains toward productive uses,we're much more likely to feel delighted and fulfilled.
Delighted people are problem solvers.When facing a challenge in life,they don't beat themselves up and fail into a depressive state. 40 By becoming a problem solver,you'll build up your self-confidence and your ability to accomplish whatever you set to.

In a busy local supermarket,Emma,a diligent college student,worked as a cashier to make ends meet.Her days were in a rush of classes,part-time shifts,and struggling to realize her dream of becoming an artist.Despite her tight schedule, Emma's firm commitment meant she never missed a day of work.
One particular day,though,would prove to be unlike any other.Emma's workday typically began at 3 pm and ended around 10 pm.That day progressed like any other until Emma found herself with just an hour left before her first break.
Then a weary-looking mother arrived at the checkout with her son and a grocery cart.The mother appeared tired,with sleepy eyes and untidy hair.Emma greeted her with a warm smile,"Have you had a long day "The mother responded with a smile, saying,"Yes,it's been a tiring one.This little one requested lasagna( 千 层 面 )for lunch,and I found we were out of food."
The woman explained that her five-year-old son,Tristan,was the man of the house,and his younger brother was in hospital,putting an emotional weight on him. Emma couldn't help but empathize,recalling her own experiences as a child with a

sick brother.
Emma asked Tristan for his name,and as he cheerfully replied,"Tristan", Emma presented him with a lollipop(棒棒糖).She ran it through the register to ring it up before handing it to the delighted young boy.
What Emma hadn't noticed during her initial scan of the woman's items was the growing excitement on Tristan's face as each beep( 滴 滴 声 )from the register resounded.Eager and enthusiastic,he asked,“Can I help Can I help "Emma's heartwarming response was,"Of course!"She lifted Tristan to her workstation, teaching him how to ring up groceries.
Unknown to Emma,Tristan's mother took a photo of their interaction,capturing her son's pure joy in a moment frozen in time.Moved to tears,she took more photos of Emma and Tristan at work and expressed her gratitude before leaving.
