Gratitude (感激) is powerful. I know this isn’t the first time you’ve been encouraged to explore the word with a promise that gratitude will enhance your life, but when we hear something often, it can seem antique. In a world where we’ re constantly looking for what’s next, gratitude practices seem old-fashioned. But, we know practicing gratitude can have benefits.
One of my favourite ways to show gratitude is to remember my life motto: Always try to help others as much as you can. In my experience, this means you have to believe that everyone can achieve their dreams and that if you help a colleague succeed, you succeed too. This means that success isn’t about stepping on others to get to the top; it’s about working together as a community. It also means that we can be grateful for what we have, without feeling jealous.
Recently, I’ve been inspired by a scholar, Sanai Graden, who went viral for listening to someone in need. She ended up raising money to help the homeless man. “I just treat people how I want to be treated,” Graden says. “I made my decision based on the fact that it would not only affect me, but also the people around me.”
That’s a key part of gratitude, and something Graden says she centers in her career. “I don’t want to be the type of person who just gets by. I want to be the person who is making contributions and helping others through the way. I’m not only going to win, but I’m taking people with me to win as well.”
Before I started regularly practising gratitude, I thought it meant being happy with what I have and not complaining. This is mostly true. But now I think that being grateful also includes how we approach every part of our lives, and how we use it to help us grow.
4. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Gratitude practices are old-fashioned.
B. Opponents can prevent us from succeeding.
C. Supporting others is a way of expressing gratitude.
D. Success means helping others realize their dreams.
5. Why is Sanai Graden mentioned in the text?
A. To illustrate why people help the homeless.
B. To make a comparison with other people’s ideas.
C. To explain how to become a celebrity overnight.
D. To be used as an example of practicing gratitude.
6. What does Sanai Graden focus on in her career?
A. Staying alive. B. Being a helper. C. Being a leader. D. Getting the win.
7. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Getting to the Top to Get Success. B. Gratitude: Being Content with Life.
C. The Power of Gratitude in Action. D. Success: Affecting Others Around You.
【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者通过自己的人生格言来阐述感恩的实践方式,强调了成功并不意味着把他人当垫脚石,而是共同努力实现目标,并对所拥有的心存感激。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One of my favourite ways to show gratitude is to remember my life motto: Always try to help others as much as you can.( 我最喜欢的表达感激之情的方式之一是记住我的人生座右铭:尽你所能帮助别人。)”可知,作者认为表达感激的一个最喜欢的方式是尽可能帮助他人,即支持他人是表达感激的一种方式。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“Recently, I’ve been inspired by a scholar, Sanai Graden, who went viral for listening to someone in need. She ended up raising money to help the homeless man.( 最近,我受到了一位学者的启发,她叫Sanai Graden,她因为倾听需要帮助的人的心声而走红。她最后筹钱来帮助那个无家可归的人。)”以及第四段中“That’s a key part of gratitude, and something Graden says she centers in her career.( 这是感恩的关键部分,也是Graden说她在事业上的核心。)”可知,提到Sanai Graden 是因为她倾听有需要的人并筹钱帮助无家可归的人,这是践行感恩的一个例子。故选D项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“I don’t want to be the type of person who just gets by. I want to be the person who is making contributions and helping others through the way.( 我不想成为那种得过且过的人。我想成为一个做出贡献并帮助他人的人。)”可知,Sanai Graden 不想只是勉强过得去,而是想成为做出贡献并帮助他人的人,所以她在职业生涯中关注的是成为一个帮助者。故选B项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“Gratitude (感激) is powerful. I know this isn’t the first time you’ve been encouraged to explore the word with a promise that gratitude will enhance your life, but when we hear something often, it can seem antique. In a world where we’ re constantly looking for what’s next, gratitude practices seem old-fashioned. But, we know practicing gratitude can have benefits.( 感恩是强大的。我知道这不是你第一次被鼓励去探索感恩这个词,并承诺感恩会改善你的生活,但是当我们经常听到一些东西时,它可能看起来很过时。在一个我们不断寻找未来的世界里,感恩的做法似乎已经过时了。但是,我们知道感恩是有好处的。)”可知,文章开篇指出感恩很有力量,接着通过作者自己的生活座右铭以及 Sanai Graden的例子,阐述了感恩的具体表现和作用,强调了感恩在行动中的力量,C选项“The Power of Gratitude in Action”(行动中感恩的力量)符合文章主旨,适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。
C
Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives.
CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly, goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise.
This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that count as defect is an undeniable “good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are.
Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past.
People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences.
Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to live together with mutual flourishing.
Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption.
8. According to the passage, which of the following best describes the author’s view on the use of CRISPR to eliminate genetic defects?
A. The author fully supports the use of CRISPR for the betterment of human health.
B. The author is concerned about the potential misuse of CRISPR to exclude individuals with genetic differences.
C. The author believes that CRISPR should only be used for treating severe diseases with clear genetic causes.
D. The author argues that CRISPR technology is inherently flawed and should not be used at all.
9. What can be inferred from the author’s discussion about “common sense” ableism?
A. The author believes that ableism is a rational approach to genetic diversity.
B. The author suggests that “common sense” ableism is a subtle form of discrimination that is widely accepted.
C. The author thinks that “common sense” ableism is a new concept introduced by James L. Chemey.
D. The author argues that “common sense” ableism is a positive development in the field of genetics.
10. The author employs the term “utopian future” to describe a society that edits out “bad” genes. What is the rhetorical effect of this term?
A. It evokes a sense of idealism and progress in genetic engineering.
B. It highlights the potential dangers of overreaching in genetic modification.
C. It suggests that such a future is impossible and therefore not worth discussing.
D. It emphasizes the author’s support for a future free of genetic diseases.
11. What is the main argument of the passage?
A. CRISPR technology has the potential to cause more harm than good if not used cautiously.
B. Genetic diversity should be preserved because it enriches society ethically and biologically.
C. The societal view that genetic defects should be eliminated is morally and ethically flawed.
D. The use of CRISPR to treat diseases is a clear and unquestionable good.
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了CRISPR技术可能带来的伦理问题和对遗传多样性的影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives. (科学应该指导政策,但当像CRISPR这样的技术有可能排斥而不是帮助人们生活时,需要谨慎。)”和第二段中“CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. (CRISPR可用于治疗疾病。然而,这项技术更深远且更令人担忧的前景——科学家们对此既兴奋又谨慎——在于其能够从基因库中消除医学界认定的导致个体差异的缺陷或异常基因)”可知,作者担心CRISPR可能被滥用,以排除具有遗传差异的个体。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第四段中“Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past. (使用基因组操作工具和进行基因选择等同于一种新的优生思维形式,这种思维基于传播研究学者James L. Chemey所说的“常识”残疾主义,这是一种信仰体系,它允许人们在否认任何令人厌恶的优生原则的同时,也支持它们。最终,“常识”残疾主义体现了与过去旨在消除所谓劣等人类的运动所持有的清洗不可接受的人类变异的类似目标。)”可知,作者暗示“常识”残疾主义是一种被广泛接受的微妙歧视形式。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第五段中“People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences. (拥有“不良”基因的人不应在某种乌托邦式的未来中被编辑掉而不复存在。在一个认为所有人无论个体差异如何都具有同等价值的社会里,评价他人的生活质量在道德上是站不住脚的。)”可知,这里“乌托邦式的未来”指的是一个理想化、完美的未来,但作者用它来警示人们不要过度追求基因改造,因为这可能导致排斥和消灭有遗传差异的人。因此,这个术语强调了基因改造可能带来的潜在危险。故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是由文章第二段中“CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. (CRISPR可用于治疗疾病。然而,这项技术更深远且更令人担忧的前景——科学家们对此既兴奋又谨慎——在于其能够从基因库中消除医学界认定的导致个体差异的缺陷或异常基因)”、第五段中“People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences. (拥有“不良”基因的人不应在某种乌托邦式的未来中被编辑掉而不复存在。在一个认为所有人无论个体差异如何都具有同等价值的社会里,评价他人的生活质量在道德上是站不住脚的。)”可知,文章主要讨论了CRISPR技术在消除遗传差异方面的潜在危险,并强调了社会中普遍存在的那种希望通过技术手段(如CRISPR基因编辑)来消除所谓“遗传缺陷”的观点,实际上在道德和伦理层面上是存在问题的。故选C。
D
A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths.
The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan.
“Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.”
Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health.
Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive.
Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.”
Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.
12. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer?
A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study.
C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee.
13. What can we learn from the study on coffee drinking?
A. The Study confirms coffee directly extends lifespan.
B. More studies are still needed to confirm the finding.
C. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths.
D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups.
14. What attitude should we take towards the research findings?
A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced.
C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the article?
A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly
C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项大型美国研究发现喝咖啡的老年人死亡风险更低,但未证明咖啡直接延寿,需理性看待该研究结果。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role.(值得注意的是,咖啡因的类型(含咖啡因或脱咖啡因)影响不大,这意味着咖啡中的其他物质——例如抗氧化剂——可能起到了作用。)”可知,真正在喝咖啡者长寿中起关键作用的是咖啡中的抗氧化剂和其他物质。故选D项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.(这项2012年发表在《新英格兰医学杂志》上的研究进一步证明,适量饮用咖啡可能是健康生活方式的一部分。未来的研究将探索咖啡中的特定物质如何与人体相互作用。)”可知,仍需要更多研究来证实该发现。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan.(然而,研究人员警告说,这些发现并不能证明咖啡直接延长寿命。)”和最后一段中的“Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.(未来的研究将探索咖啡中的特定物质如何与人体相互作用。)”可知,对该研究结果应持谨慎乐观的态度。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers.(美国一项大型研究发现,与不喝咖啡的人相比,喝咖啡的老年人——无论是含咖啡因还是脱咖啡因的——死亡风险往往更低。)”可知,文章主要说明咖啡与较低的死亡风险相关,由此可知,“喝咖啡与降低死亡风险有关联”可以概括文章主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选A项。

Say No to Playing Balls in Teaching Buildings
Good morning, everyone!

【答案】One possible version:
Say No to Playing Balls in Teaching Buildings
Good morning, everyone! Recently, I have noticed an uncivilized phenomenon that some classmates are playing balls casually in our teaching buildings.
During breaks, they often chase and kick balls in narrow corridors, with balls often bumping into doors, windows or even someone nearby. Such behavior is both disruptive and potentially dangerous. It not only makes the corridors messy but also poses safety risks and may lead to damage to school facilities.
Playing balls is fun, but we should choose the playground instead. I appeal to everyone to stop playing balls in our teaching buildings. It’s our shared responsibility to respect others and care for our campus. Together, let’s keep our teaching buildings safe and orderly.
Thank you!

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
My wife was away for a few days and I hated the thought of leaving my new dog Honey alone. “Come on, Honey. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down in the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car.
We live in a remote area up in the hills, surrounded by many tall trees. You have to drive up the mountain slowly to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car.
I turned around my car and backed up slowly, just then, a flash of afternoon sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. I felt a sudden sharp movement as the left back wheel of the car slipped in the soft soil, and it rolled. I hadn’t put on my seat belt yet and I fell downwards inside the car and the car hit the ground several times as it turned over down the valley, Tree branches broke with great sharp noise. The car rolled faster, four, five, six, … , until it came to a complete stop. We landed upside down and I got stuck completely in the car. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat and fortunately, she was okay.
“Sorry, girl,” I took a deep breath. I tried to see if I could remove myself from behind the wheel. I felt a burning pain in my chest and something was wrong with my left leg. I cried out from the pain. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed 911. Just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal at the bottom of the valley.
I figured we were at least 50 feet down. Robin, my closest neighbor, had his own driveway, living a mile uphill from me. There was no reason he or anyone else would drive to my house. And even if someone did, they wouldn’t see the damaged car here.
Painfully, I managed to reach over and pick Honey up. I gently gave her a pat. “Go home, baby.” She jumped to the ground and raced up the side of the valley.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I sat there for hours. The pain in my chest and leg was unbearable. I closed my eyes, trying to ignore the pain and conserve my energy. Time seemed to stand still as I waited, hoping for a miracle. Just then, I heard a familiar bark. It was Honey! She had returned, but where was she? I craned my neck to see her standing at the top of the valley, barking loudly. She was trying to get someone’s attention. My heart soared with hope. Maybe she could lead someone to me.
Bang! The noise woke me up; I could recognize it was my neighbor, Robin! “Help!” I screamed. “I’m here! Down in the valley!” Robin peered over the edge and his eyes widened in horror at the sight of my overturned car. “Don’t worry, I’ll get help!” he yelled before rushing back to his house. Robin had called the emergency services and they were finally able to locate me thanks to Honey’s persistent barking. As the paramedics carefully extracted me from the wreckage, I clung to Honey, tears streaming down my face. I knew I had her to thank for my rescue. She had saved my life.

With careful urban planning, some former industrial centers are moving toward a more modern, and in some cases, sustainable future after decades in decline.
Lake Charles, Louisiana
This city hosts more than 75 festivals annually, including Mardi Gras. The 1911 Historic City Hall is the centerpiece of a lively arts scene, housing galleries and hosting exhibitions from local artists. Hikers often spot crocodiles along the Creole Nature Trail. Birders favor Sam Houston Jones State Park to see owls and ospreys.
St. Louis, Missouri

Forest Park is the city’s beloved backyard and home to the St. Louis Art Museum, Missouri History Museum, and St. Louis Zoo. All are free. The St. Louis’ culinary scene, from BBQ to fine dining, is steadily gaining national attention. Coming hungry and curious, you’ll leave with a whole new appreciation for what this city has to offer!

Green spaces, including the Botanical Gardens and Vulcan Park, are found throughout the city. Five Points South is home to trendy restaurants and shops. The city’s role in the fight for equality comes to life at the Civil Rights National Monument and Institute.

Constant construction signals the motor city’s return to glory (繁荣). Guests can check in at a variety of new hotels, including the breathtaking Roost Detroit, part of a $400 million redevelopment of the historic Book Tower.

Gratitude (感激) is powerful. I know this isn’t the first time you’ve been encouraged to explore the word with a promise that gratitude will enhance your life, but when we hear something often, it can seem antique. In a world where we’ re constantly looking for what’s next, gratitude practices seem old-fashioned. But, we know practicing gratitude can have benefits.
One of my favourite ways to show gratitude is to remember my life motto: Always try to help others as much as you can. In my experience, this means you have to believe that everyone can achieve their dreams and that if you help a colleague succeed, you succeed too. This means that success isn’t about stepping on others to get to the top; it’s about working together as a community. It also means that we can be grateful for what we have, without feeling jealous.
Recently, I’ve been inspired by a scholar, Sanai Graden, who went viral for listening to someone in need. She ended up raising money to help the homeless man. “I just treat people how I want to be treated,” Graden says. “I made my decision based on the fact that it would not only affect me, but also the people around me.”
That’s a key part of gratitude, and something Graden says she centers in her career. “I don’t want to be the type of person who just gets by. I want to be the person who is making contributions and helping others through the way. I’m not only going to win, but I’m taking people with me to win as well.”
Before I started regularly practising gratitude, I thought it meant being happy with what I have and not complaining. This is mostly true. But now I think that being grateful also includes how we approach every part of our lives, and how we use it to help us grow.
4. Which statement will the author probably agree with?
A. Gratitude practices are old-fashioned.
B. Opponents can prevent us from succeeding.
C. Supporting others is a way of expressing gratitude.
D. Success means helping others realize their dreams.
5. Why is Sanai Graden mentioned in the text?
A. To illustrate why people help the homeless.
B. To make a comparison with other people’s ideas.
C. To explain how to become a celebrity overnight.
D. To be used as an example of practicing gratitude.
6. What does Sanai Graden focus on in her career?
A. Staying alive. B. Being a helper. C. Being a leader. D. Getting the win.
7. What might be the most suitable title for the text?
A. Getting to the Top to Get Success. B. Gratitude: Being Content with Life.
C. The Power of Gratitude in Action. D. Success: Affecting Others Around You.
C
Science should guide policy, but caution is needed when technologies like CRISPR have the potential to exclude rather than assist people to live their lives.
CRISPR can be used to treat disease. Yet the far-reaching, more worrying promise of this technology — one about which scientists seem at once excited and cautious — lies in its ability to eliminate from the gene pool what medical science identifies as faulty or abnormal genes that cause difference in individual people. Certainly, goes the logic of CRISPR’s promise, the goal of ridding future generations of terrible diseases that cause suffering and death and exhaust resources, seems an unquestionable enterprise.
This logic is consistent with wider societal views. The idea that ridding society of genetic differences that count as defect is an undeniable “good” continues to be pervasive. Editing out a gene-linked condition, supporters may argue, is different from editing out a person, and curing disease is a good thing. But our genetic conditions are not simply entities that can be clipped away from us and our genetic conditions form a fundamental part of who we are.
Using genome manipulation tools and performing genetic selection is equal to a new form of eugenic thinking grounded in what the communications studies scholar James L. Chemey calls “common sense” ableism, a belief system that allows people to simultaneously deny any commitment to distasteful eugenic principles while also holding them up. Ultimately, “common sense” ableism embodies a similar goal of cleansing unacceptable human variations that the campaigns to eliminate the supposedly inferior have held in the past.
People with “bad” genes shouldn’t be edited out of existence in some version of a utopian future. Evaluating the quality of life of another person is morally questionable in a society based on the concept that all people are of equal value regardless of their individual differences.
Expanding diversity in all its forms, including disability, strengthens the human community ethically and biologically because it opens the public and private sphere to a variety of perspectives, experiences and ideas to live together with mutual flourishing.
Genome editing is powerful in reshaping medical treatments, but it can also be harmful by editing out the kinds of people that medical science, and the society it has shaped, categorize as diseased or genetically contaminated — people who are understood as having bad genes. We should be reminded that bad genes don’t necessarily lead to bad lives, just as good genes don’t necessarily lead to good lives. If CRISPR is put to use to eliminate rather than to treat genetic difference, we as a society would essentially instrumentalize this moralistic and reductionist assumption.

A large U.S. study found that older adults who drink coffee — whether caffeinated or decaffeinated — tend to have a lower risk of death compared to non-coffee drinkers. The research, led by scientists from the National Institutes of Health, observed a reduced risk of death from heart disease, stroke, diabetes, infections, and other causes, though no clear link was found with cancer-related deaths.
The study followed 400,000 adults aged 50-71 over 13 years. Participants reported their coffee habits once at the start of the study. Results showed that those who drank three or more cups daily had about a 10% lower risk of death than non-drinkers. This association remained even after adjusting for factors like smoking and diet. However, researchers cautioned that the findings do not prove coffee directly extends lifespan.
“Coffee is widely consumed, but its health effects have been debated,” said Dr. Neal Freedman, lead author of the study. “While we can’t confirm coffee causes a longer life, these results strongly indicate it isn’t harmful and might even be beneficial.”
Notably, the type of caffeine (caffeinated vs. decaf) mattered little, implying that other compounds in coffee — e.g. antioxidants — might play a role. Coffee contains over 1,000 chemicals, many of which could influence health.
Of course, the study has limitations. Coffee intake was self-reported only once, and preparation methods were not analyzed. Differences in brewing might affect the health properties of coffee. Additionally, while coffee was linked to lower overall death risk, men who drank large amounts showed a slight increase in cancer deaths, though this was not strongly conclusive.
Experts emphasize that lifestyle factors matter. Coffee drinkers may have shared other healthy habits. “This doesn’t mean everyone should start drinking coffee,” said Freedman. “But it offers reassurance that moderate consumption is likely safe.”
Published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, this research adds to evidence that coffee, when enjoyed in moderation, could be a component of healthy lifestyle. Future studies will explore how specific compounds in coffee interact with the body.
12. What on earth plays a crucial role in coffee drinkers’ living longer?
A. The type of caffeine (regular or decaf). B. The brewing methods used in the study.
C. Coffee drinkers’ healthier life habits. D. Antioxidants and other compounds in coffee.
13. What can we learn from the study on coffee drinking?
A. The Study confirms coffee directly extends lifespan.
B. More studies are still needed to confirm the finding.
C. Drinking coffee reduces the risk of cancer-related deaths.
D. The study conducted nationwide covered all age groups.
14. What attitude should we take towards the research findings?
A. Largely dismissive. B. Completely convinced.
C. Uncritically enthusiastic. D. Cautiously optimistic.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the article?
A. Coffee Linked to Lower Death Risk B. Coffee Can Extend Lifespan Directly
C. Decaf Coffee Has Been Proved Healthier D. New Study Confirms Coffee Cures Illnesses

My wife was away for a few days and I hated the thought of leaving my new dog Honey alone. “Come on, Honey. Let’s go.” She jumped into the car and settled down in the passenger seat. I got behind the wheel and started the car.
We live in a remote area up in the hills, surrounded by many tall trees. You have to drive up the mountain slowly to get to our driveway, which is barely wide enough for one car.
I turned around my car and backed up slowly, just then, a flash of afternoon sunlight blinded me. I put my hand up to protect my eyes. I felt a sudden sharp movement as the left back wheel of the car slipped in the soft soil, and it rolled. I hadn’t put on my seat belt yet and I fell downwards inside the car and the car hit the ground several times as it turned over down the valley, Tree branches broke with great sharp noise. The car rolled faster, four, five, six, … , until it came to a complete stop. We landed upside down and I got stuck completely in the car. I looked over to find Honey. She was still in the passenger seat and fortunately, she was okay.
“Sorry, girl,” I took a deep breath. I tried to see if I could remove myself from behind the wheel. I felt a burning pain in my chest and something was wrong with my left leg. I cried out from the pain. I grabbed my cellphone and dialed 911. Just as I had feared, I couldn’t get a signal at the bottom of the valley.
I figured we were at least 50 feet down. Robin, my closest neighbor, had his own driveway, living a mile uphill from me. There was no reason he or anyone else would drive to my house. And even if someone did, they wouldn’t see the damaged car here.
Painfully, I managed to reach over and pick Honey up. I gently gave her a pat. “Go home, baby.” She jumped to the ground and raced up the side of the valley.
