A 14-year-old Girl Built an App to Help Alzheimer’s Patients(老年痴呆症患者)
For many teenagers, their lives typically might circle around schoolwork and spending time with friends. Not so for Emma Yang. Though the Hong Kong-born girl is only 14, she (27) (create) her own mobile app for Alzheimer’s patients already.
The Timeless app, which Yang spent two years (28) (develop), comes with several important features. It is an artificial intelligence-powered facial recognition system in the app (29) helps Alzheimer’s patients identify people in photos and remember who they are. It also allows photos (30) (group) by individuals as well as provides a picture-based phone book, (31) enables a user to tap on photos to call or text a person.
The inspiration to develop an app that would help Alzheimer’s patients connect with their loved ones came to Yang at the age of 12, when her grandmother started forgetting things like (32) she lived and Yang’s birthday.
“I wanted to create something to help people like my grandmother stay (33) (connect) with her family,” Yang said. It was a task she was well-prepared to undertake, but venture capitalists didn’t take her work seriously. Yang started a crowdfunding campaign in March last year (34) (support) her Timeless app project. That effort raised more than US$10,000.
At present, Yang works with an international team that includes a designer in California and a developer in Cologne, Germany. The chief technology officer of Kairos, the AI company (35) technology is used in the Timeless app, is now Yang’s adviser.
Yang urged other young, ambitious people to believe in (36) because the teenagers of today will be tomorrow’s leaders. “Technology has been able to make kids put their ideas into action,” she said. “As long as you get out there and put yourself out there, tell people about your idea and find out who’s on board and can get behind it, you’ll eventually find that team of people.”

Tu Youyou, an 84-year-old female scientist, became the first Chinese citizen to win a Nobel Prize in science on Oct 5. While the news has stirred ( 激发） China’s national
37 , it has also 38 differences in prize-awarding practices between China and the world.
Tu, a researcher at the China Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, shared the 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine with Irish-born William Campbell and Satoshi Omura of Japan for unlocking revolutionary 39 for parasitic（寄生虫的） diseases. Campbell and Omura were honored for their anti-roundworm treatment, while Tu came up with a new drug for malaria.
Tu 40 research in the 1970s that led to the discovery of artemisinin（青蒿素）, a drug that has considerably cut the number of malaria deaths and saved millions of malaria deaths and saved millions of lives. The treatment is based on a herb used in Chinese traditional medicine, called sweet wormwood. Artemisinin-based drugs are now the standard treatment for malaria.
When news broke that Tu was being awarded the prize, there were cheers as well as
41 . Some said the achievement was the result of 42 efforts by lots of Chinese scientists, so it is unfair to award the prize only to Tu, China Youth Daily reported.
Indeed, domestic science awards are primarily 43 to projects, instead of individual scientists, the newspaper pointed out.
But Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method, said Li Zhenzhen, a researcher with the China Academy of Sciences. “The West believes that the advancement of science 44 from individuals’ creative mind,” said Li.
Tu got the award for three “firsts”. She was the first to bring artemisinin to her project team, the first to extract a form of artemisinin that can altogether inhibit malaria, and the first to complete a clinical trial （ 临床试验）, according to Zhang Boli, director of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences.
“Awarding prizes to scientists with 45 ideas is the source of national innovation,” Li suggested. “The key is to create 46 rules to find the most convincing candidate.”
Reading Comprehension Section A (15%)
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Most parents tell lies to their children as an approach to changing their behavior, suggests a study of families in the United States and China.
The most frequent example was parents 47 to leave children alone in public
unless they behaved. Another example was: “That was beautiful piano playing.” The study,
48 the use of “instrumental lying” and found that such tactically-deployed
falsehoods( 策略性谎言) were used by a majority of parents in both the United States and China.
The most commonly used lie --- popular with both US and Chinese families --- was parents 49 to a child that they were going to walk away and leave the child to his or her tantrum（耍性子）. “This 50 lie may relate to the universality of the challenge parents face in trying to leave a place against their child’s wishes.” say the researchers.
Lies also fell into different 51 . There were “ untrue statements related to
52 ”, which included: “If you don’t behave, I will call the police,” and “If you don’t quiet down and start behaving, the lady over there will be angry with you.” And there are also some more 53 lies recorded. Under the category of “untrue statements related to
54 or staying” a parent was recorded as saying: “If you don’t follow me, a kidnapper will come to kidnap you while I’m gone.” There were also lies motivated by 55 a child’s feelings --- labeled as “untrue statements related to positive feeling”. This included the
56 : “Your pet went to live on your uncle’s farm where he will have more space to run around.”
The study found no clear difference between the lies used by mothers and fathers, according to researchers. Although levels of such “instrumental lying” were high in both countries, they were higher in China. The study also found there was an acceptance of such lies among parents when they were used as a way of 57 desirable social behavior. 58 , the lie told to children that they would grow taller for every bite of broccoli（花椰菜）was seen as encouraging 59 eating habits.
The study raises the longer-term issue of the 60 on families of such lies. It
suggests it could influence family relationships as children get older. The researchers
concluded that this raises “important parental lying is justified.”

and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
You may have noticed something different the last time you ate at your favorite restaurant. Or perhaps you picked up on it while looking through the photos in your social media apps. You guessed it – we’re becoming a foodie culture.
For some, that means photogtaphing every bite, but others are taking it one step further. Instead of taking pictures at restaurants, Sophia Hampton, a senior at Staples High School in Connecticut, US, makes her own food. She’s even been published in Future Chefs, a cookbook of original recipes by teens.
Hampton’s best advice for those who want to be foodies is to learn how to make food for themselves.
“Start cooking,” she said. “There are so many resources online, like recipes, tutorials and articles about food. Go to your local farmers market, read about local ingredients and start cooking with them.”
Besides blogs and online resources, there are also hands-on cooking classes for students. The Chopping Block, a Chicago cooking school, offers many different classes for teens, including courses on chocolate and French cuisine.
As well as cooking classes, many online recipes and new restaurants are appearing every other day. But sometimes, becoming a real foodie means being behind a camera. As our food-loving culture becomes more popular and teen friendly, social media platforms like Instagram have become major players in food culture.
US high school senior Clarke Silvers has made Instagramming food a personal hobby. “Getting involved in foodie culture is as easy as having a camera and a social media account,” Silvers said. “I always go to street fairs and farmers markets to take artsy pictures
of food. However expensive food might be, the photos are always free.”
What does Hampton advise those who want to be foodies to do
Post their recipes online.
Cook food by themselves.
Eat at their favorite restaurants.
Take photos of every dish they eat.
What has made foodie culture more popular, according to the article
People’s growing interest in traditional culture.
The convenience of getting different ingredients.
The use of cameras and social media.
The drop in food prices.
What’s the article mainly about
A trend for hands-on cooking.
Advice for students who love cooking.
How to take artsy food pictures.
How to become a real foodie.

A new study from Duke University shows that children who have attention problems in early childhood were 40% less likely to graduate from high school.
The study included 386 kindergarteners from schools in the Fast Track Project, a multi-site clinical trial in the U.S. that in 1991 began tracking how children developed across their lives.
With this study, researchers examined early academic attention and socio- emotional skills and how each contributed to academic success into young adulthood.
They found that early attention skills were the most consistent predictor of academic success, and that likability by peers also had a modest effect on academic performance.
By fifth grade, children with early attention difficulties had lower grades and reading achievement scores than their peers. As fifth-graders, children with early attention problems obtained average reading scores at least 3% lower than their contemporaries' and grades at least 8% lower than those of their peers. This was after controlling for IQ, socio-economic status and academic skills at school entry.
Although these may not seem like large effects, the impact of early attention problems continued throughout the children's academic careers. Lower reading achievement scores and grades in fifth grade contributed to reduced grades in middle school and thereby contributed to a 40% lower high school graduation rate.
"The children we identified as having attention difficulties were not diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD, 注意力缺乏多动症）, although some may have had the disorder. Our findings suggest that even more modest attention difficulties can increase the risk of negative academic outcomes," said David Rabiner, an associate dean of Duke's Trinity College of Arts & Sciences, whose research has focused on ADHD and interventions to improve academic performance in children with attention difficulties.
Social acceptance by peers in early childhood also predicted grades in fifth grade. Children not as liked by their first-grade peers had slightly lower grades in fifth grade, while those with higher social acceptance had higher grades.
"This study shows the importance of so-called ‘non-cognitive' or soft skills in contributing to children's positive peer relationships, which, in turn, contribute to their academic success," said Kenneth Dodge, director of the Duke Center for Child and Family Policy.
The results highlight the need to develop effective early interventions to help those with attention problems stay on track academically and for educators to encourage positive peer relationships, the researchers said.
"We are learning that student success requires a more comprehensive approach, one that includes not only academic skills but also social, self-regulatory and attention skills," Dodge said. "If we neglect any of these areas, the child's development lags. If we pay attention to these areas, a child’s success may reinforce itself with positive feedback loops.”
What is the focus of the new study from Duke University
The contributors to children's early attention.
The predictors of children's academic success.
The factors that affect children's emotional well-being.
The determinants of children's development of social skills.
What do we learn from the findings of the Duke study
Modest students are generally more attentive than their peers.
There are more children with attention difficulties than previously thought.
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder accounts for most academic failures.
Children's academic performance may suffer from even slight inattention.
What does the Duke study find about children better accepted by peers
They do better academically.
They are teachers' favorites.
They are easy to get on with.
They care less about grades.
What can we conclude from the Duke study
Children's success is related to their learning environment.
School curricula should cover a greater variety of subjects.
Social skills play a key role in children's development.
An all-round approach should be adopted in school education.

He wanted to see if there was a similar effect among young people in the United
States.
So, it is natural that parents should wonder about the time children spend looking at a screen.
The researchers found no increase in risky sex or driving behaviors, use of illegal substances or eating disorders.
The researchers suggested that for those children, technology use might get in the way of taking part in other important activities.
)
Screen Time: How Much Is Too Much
Many children spend a lot of time watching or playing with electronic media—from televisions to video games, computers and other devices. 72 Perhaps parents now should ease up on their concerns about screen time, at least for older boys and girls.
Until last year, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggested that children and teenagers have no more than two hours of screen time a day. It also suggests that parents balance a child’s screen time with other activities.
73 Christopher Ferguson, who teaches psychology at Stetson University in Florida, notes a lack of evidence supporting reports that too many hours spent playing video games or
watching TV is truly harmful.
Ferguson seems interested in one idea: the link between video games and violent or risky behavior. When he saw results from a recent British survey on screen time, he wanted to know more. The British study found a small negative effect—about a one percent increase—in aggression and depression among children who had six or more hours of screen time a day. 74 So, Ferguson and his team examined answers from a survey on risky behaviors. The study involved about 6,000 boys and girls in Florida, whose average age was 16.
Data from this survey found that American children are also fairly resistant to the negative effects of electronic media. Among those who used screens up to six hours a day, the survey found: a
0.5 percent increase in criminal behavior; a 1.7 percent increase in signs of depression; and a 1.2 percent negative effect on school grades. 75 To further argue his point that screen time is not harmful, Ferguson adds that children should become familiar with screen technology. Electronic devices, he says, are a part of our everyday lives.
