For his eleventh birthday, Lin was given a gift that would shape his life. On that day his father took him to the Children’s Activity Centre and said he could choose any course that interested him. There was just one requirement: Lin would have to promise to study it for at least one year.

To that point Lin had had many hobbies, but none kept his interest for more than a week or two. His mum once gave him a bag of stamps to encourage stamp collecting. That hobby lasted a week. Then his father got him some paints hoping that Lin’s artistic side would shine through. Those paints were now under his bed, still unopened. This time Lin’s parents would let him decide.

Lin’s eyes moved down the notice board that listed all the courses on offer. He stopped at “Photography,” He liked the idea of taking beautiful pictures but the notice said that each student needed their own camera. Although Lin’s family wasn’t poor, they weren’t rich either, and a camera cost a lot of money. He continued looking.

The next course to catch his eyes was “Language Art”. He didn’t even know what that meant. His father explained that it taught people how to make public speeches. Lin, a shy boy, could think of nothing worse.

Then he saw it. “Cooking” sounded like something he’d like to do. It was inexpensive and convenient, it could be done alone and it was also creative.

Based on Lin’s hobby history, his dad had doubts, but he agreed. Much to his parents’ surprise, Lin kept his promise. He studied cooking at the Centre every Saturday, and practised at home, making delicious meals for his family. Everyone looked forward to birthdays, when they could eat his cakes. Lin got great satisfaction from the pleasure his food brought to others.

The months turned to years but his hobby never changed again.

Now Lin is an adult and runs a successful restaurant. When customers say they enjoy his meal, he still gets the same pleasure he did as a child, and remembers the special gift he received all those years ago.

As parents, you can help children deal with the fear of natural disasters(自然災害)and help protect them from being hurt by telling them how disasters happen, and what to do when disasters happen. Here are some tips for you:

Find out what disasters are possible in your area by visiting your local library.

Think about where your family should go if your house is destroyed.

Teach children the warning signs and signals in your area and practice what to do if a disaster happens.

Imagine having an ear made out of an apple. It seems like a crazy idea from a horror movie. But it could happen in the near future.

Canadian biophysicist, Andrew Pelling used an apple to grow a human ear. He thinks fruit and vegetables can be used to cheaply repair human body parts in the future.

Scientists have been trying to grow organs( 器官) in labs to replace our old ones. But it is a hard Job. For example, liver cells( 肝細胞)can grow in a lab, but the cells still need things like blood vessels( 血管) to actually work. These things have to grow inside a scaffold(支架) In the past, scientists have used manmade materials, animal parts and even dead people as scaffolds. But that has proved to be difficult and expensive.

Pelling and his team, however, found the apple to be a cheap and easy to use scaffold.

They first out an apple into the shape of an ear. Then they used a special way to take out the apple’s cells and make it a scaffold. The team then added human cells to the apple and watched it grow

You can implant these scaffolds into the body, and the body will send in cells and a blood supply and actually keep these things alive, “Pelling said during a Ted Talk speech.

The team put the apple scaffold inside a living mouse and the mouse’s cells slowly took over the pieces of apple.

Now Pelling is thinking of other fruit, plants or vegetables to use,

He says that the shape of flower petals could be perfect for repairing skin. And asparagus(蘆葦) could fix a broken spine(脊柱).

Now, Pelling and his team are trying hard to put these crazy ideas into reality

1.Pelling’s idea of manmade ear seems crazy because he used ________ as scaffolds.

A.animal parts B.dead people

C.manmade materials D.ordinary apples

2.The underlined word “implant” in Paragraph 7 probably means ________.

A.pick B.put C.produce D.protect

3.Which is the right order of making an ear out of an apple according to the passage

a. Put the apple scaffold inside a mouse.

b. Add human cells to the apple scaffold.

c. Cut an apple into the shape of an ear.

d. Make the apple ear a scaffold.

e. Take out the apple’s cells in a special way.

A.abcde B.bedae C.cedba D.cdaeb

4.From the last three paragraphs, we can infer that Pelling will experiment with other fruit, plants or vegetables ________.

A.to make human ears B.to repair burnt skin

C.to fix a broken spine D.to make human body parts
