Paper towel tubes were all over the floor. Bryan quickly stood up. “Truman, help me build a city!” “Id like
12、to,” Truman replied, “but I have to do a report on beehives and .” “Can I help you?” Bryan begged. “I dont think so, Bry. Sorry. “I know where theres a beehive.” Bryan smiled. “Where?” “In the wood pile by the garage. The boys marched to the firewood. Bending down, Bryan pointed out the hive deep in
13、side the pile. Truman carefully removed the hive out. “You got it!” Bryan shouted. Back in the living room, Truman paced around, turning the fragile hive under his nose. Each cell was a perfect hexagon(六边形). How did the bees fit the cells together so neatly? And how did they make each cell six-sided
14、? Could they count? Lost in thought, his foot came down on something . “Truman! Youre mining my city!” “Get your stupid tubes out of here，Bryan! Im trying to” The towel tubes on the floor suddenly reminded him of something. The beehive! Looking closer, he noticed the tubes were arranged with one in
15、the middle, surrounded by six others, just like the cells of the hive. Just to be sure, he tried five and then seven tubes surrounding the center tubes, but neither way fit.

18、nbsp; D. By killing the bees. B Alison Malmon was completing the end of her freshman year at the University of Pennsylvania, US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University, was suffering from mental illness. Influenced by this, Malmon formed a group at her
19、 university to enable students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that todays young people face. “What you hea
20、r often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, “and a need to present oneself as perfect.” And a new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of todays society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They fo
21、und that what they - 4 - called “socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of todays young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isnt the only reason behind this trend. Inste
22、ad, he said, it may be driven by competition in modern society, meaning young people cant avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new norms (准则) like greater numbers of college students, standardized testing and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success i
23、n education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure
24、to raise successful children, they in turn pass their “achievement anxieties” onto their kids through “excessive (过多的) involvement in their childs routines, activities or emotions.” Those in the mental health community like Malmon say theyre concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism ha

31、 Korean. Canadian Sarah Murray is the team's coach. She says the document has helped everybody communicate. Team Korea was formed just two weeks ago after the two Koreas decided to suddenly cooperate during the Olympics. Twelve players from North Korea were then added to the 23-member South Kore
32、an team. South Korea has incorporated many English words and phrases into its language. North Korea has removed foreign words and created substitutes from Korean words. To many South Koreans, the substitutes sound funny. . Language experts say about one-third of the everyday words used in the two co
33、untries are different. The divide is wider with technical language, like that used for medical and sports industries. For example, South Korean hockey players use the English word “pass,“ but their North Korean teammates say “yeol lak“ or “communication.“ North Koreans say “nahl gay soo“ meaning “wi
34、ng player.“ South Koreans call that position “wing,“ like in English. South Koreans say “block shot“ while North Koreans say “buhduh make: or “stretching to block.“ - 5 - Murray admits that there are still some problems in communication even with the new dictionary. She said her South Korean assista
35、nt coach plays an important part in bridging the divide. Some in South Korea have criticized the partnership. They argue that the addition of players from North Korea players may prevent South Korean players from playing as much. One early public opinion study found that about 70 percent of South Ko

41、 used an open-source database called GEDmatch to find relatives who matched genetic material taken from an old crime scene, then worked backward to identify and catch 72- year-old former police officer Joseph James DeAngelo. GEDmatchs 950, 000 users voluntarily upload and share their genetic informa
42、tion, making it accessible to others who share their own data including law enforcement (执法). More than a dozen other similar platforms also exist. “If your relatives have contributed and you are part of even a family tree that appears online in one of these shared resources, you can be indirectly t

44、 still highlighted the issue of genetic privacy. Although many genetic-testing companies have been asked to cooperate with legal investigations (调查), and clearly warn customers of this possibility, not all requests are honored. “23andMe has never given customer information to law-enforcement officia
45、ls, ” a company representative told TIME. The risks of keeping such sensitive data private are high. The potential for abuse exists; for example, insurance companies could theoretically use genetic data to refuse coverage (保险项目), Green says. But the systems in place to prevent misuse appear to be wo
46、rking. One is the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act, a 2008 law that protects consumers from employment and insurance discrimination related to genetics.
