21、 This International Women's Day, we're celebrating four women who changed the face of science forever.
Anandibai Joshee, born in 1865 in India, became India's first woman physician with a medical degree. After graduation from a Woman's Medical College, she accepted an offer from the governor minister of Kolhapur in India to serve as “Lady Doctor of Kolhapur”. She died at 21 from tuberculosis. Despite her short life, Joshee's accomplishments were unprecedented for an Indian woman, and her achievements open the door for other Indian women to quickly follow.
Mamie Clark, an American social psychologist, specialized in child development in black children. In 1946, Clark and Kenneth founded the only mental health organization for black children in New York. Clark was awarded the American Association of University achievement award in 1973, and ten years later the National Coalition of 100 Black Women awarded her the Candace Award for humanitarianism.
Geochemist Katsuko Saruhashi was born in Tokyo in 1920. Saruhashi became the first woman elected to the Science Council of Japan, the first woman to win the Miyake Prize for Geochemistry, and the first woman recipient of an award from the Society of Sea Water Science in Japan. In 1981, she founded the Saruhashi Prize, a prize awarded annually to a female role model in science.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Ochoa was the first Latina woman to fly in space as part of the crew of the shuttle Discovery in 1993. In 1990, Ochoa was selected to astronaut candidacy as part of a group of twenty-three NASA astronauts, and became an astronaut a year later. Her first spaceflight was aboard Discovery as a mission specialist and lasted nine days, in which the crew conducted scientific experiments and deployed a research satellite to study the solar corona.

23、No one would much like the idea of eating 61 pounds of tomatoes a day. But if their goodness was put into an easy-to-swallow pill that you were told might prevent strokes(中风) and heart attacks you would probably be putting in an order tomorrow.
Researchers believe they may have come up with just that after trials. The daily pill contains a chemical called lycopene which makes tomatoes red and is known to break down fat in the vessels(血管). A Cambridge University study found taking the pills improved blood flow and the lining of vessels in patients with pre-existing heart conditions. It also increased the flexibility(灵活性) of their vessels by 50 percent. The scientists believe it could limit the damage caused by heart disease—responsible for 180,000 deaths a year—and help cut the 49,000 deaths a year from strokes. They also hope it could benefit those with arthritis(关节炎), diabetes(糖尿病) and even slow the progress of cancer.
Each pill is equal to eating around 61 pounds of ripe tomatoes. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean-style diet rich in tomatoes fish, vegetables, nuts and olive oil can significantly reduce cholesterol(胆固醇) and help prevent cardiovascular disease.
Preliminary results from a two-month trial, in which the pill was given to 36 heart disease patients and 36 healthy volunteers with an average age of 67, were presented at a meeting of the American Heart Association. It was shown to improve the function of the endothelium—the layer of cells lining blood vessels. It also improved their sensitivity to nitric oxide, the gas which causes the enlargement of the vessels in response to exercise.
Ian Wilkinson, head of Cambridge University’s clinical trials unit, said “These results are potentially very significant and it meets the goal, but we need more trials to see if they translate into fewer heart attacks and strokes.”
Further studies are planned, with researchers hoping it could offer a choice for heart disease sufferers who can not take the cholesterol-lowing drugs.
Mike Knapton, head of the British Heart Foundation, said, “Although this showed lycopene improved blood flow in people with heart disease, that’s a long way from demonstrating that taking it could improve outcomes for people with heart disease. The best way to get the benefits of a good diet is to eat plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables.”
【1】What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. We can eat too much tomato food.
B. Tomatoes are helpful to strokes and heart attacks.
C. Tomatoes will lose healthy elements were put into pills.
D. We had better not eat tomatoes.
【2】We can learn from the passage that the pills ________.
A. are at the experiment stage
B. can cure all the disease
C. are widely used among patients
D. cost patients so little money
【3】Who were the volunteers by taking part in the trial?
A. Children. B. Youth.
C. Working people. D. Old healthy people.
【4】What was Ian Wilkinson’s opinion on the trial?
A. Disappointing. B. Surprising.
C. Satisfactory. D. Terrible.

26、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
Yollie was slender as a tulip, pretty, and one of the smartest girls at Saint Theresa's. She was an honor student, and a winner in the school's monthly spelling bees. She lived with her mother, Mrs. Moreno.
Recently one thing bothered Yollie a lot. She needed a new dress for the twelfth-grade fall dance. But her mother couldn't afford one. "We don't have the money," said her mother, genuinely sad. The best Mrs. Moreno could do was buy Yollie a pair of black shoes with velvet bows and dyed color to her white summer dress black.
"We can dye your dress so it will look brand-new," her mother said brightly, shaking the bottle of dye as she ran hot water into a plastic container. She poured in the black liquid and stirred it. Then, slowly and carefully, she lowered the dress. Yollie couldn't stand to watch. She doubted whether it would work. But to her surprise, the dress came out shiny black. Mrs. Moreno beamed at her and said, "See, what did I tell you?" Yollie hugged her mother in relief. At least she had a new dress for the ball which was important to girls at her age.
Yollie bathed, dressed, and did her makeup carefully until her mother yelled, "All right already?"
Yollie bounced out of Mrs. Moreno's car in front of the school and ran into her best friend, Janice. They didn't say it, but each thought the other was the most beautiful and charming girl at the dance; the boys would fall over themselves asking them to dance. Everyone danced, sipped punch, and stood in knots of threes and fours, talking. The evening was warm but thick with clouds. Gusts of wind picked up the paper lanterns hanging in the trees and swung them, blurring the night with reds and yellows. The lanterns made the evening seem romantic, like a scene from a movie.
