The condition led her to the full-time wheelchair use by age 12. Having
12、already had 33 major operations, Andrea decided to devote her life to finding a cure for the pain she had gone through by pursuing a career in the medical field.

13、 just like what my nurses did throughout my life,” Andrea explained. “They took my moms place when she couldnt be there, and they knew how to make me smile even when I felt like I was at rock bottom.”So she decided to become the first nurse in a wheelchair that she had ever seen! She was accepted in
14、to CUNY College of Staten Islands nursing program in 2016.

She passed her courses with high marks, earning her degree, passing her boards, and officially becoming a registered nurse!After graduation, Andrea worked as a nurse at th

20、needs of students on campus. It was an immediate success, attracting more than 1,200 undergraduates in the first semester before it was transformed into the most popular online course in Yales history.Now the course is being offered for free to more than 550 low-income high school students across th
21、e United States. The students will receive free college credits upon completion. “This is a really challenging time, which means that students need to learn new strategies to protect their mental health,” said Santos. “Our goal is to equip students with scientifically proven strategies for living a
22、more satisfying life, and also create opportunities for low-income students to improve their college readiness.”According to a statement from Yale, the new program will be offered in more than 40 Title I schools from 17 cities. In addition to having access to Santos lectures, students will be suppor
23、ted by both a local teacher at their high school and a Yale teaching fellow. “It is an honor to be involved in this widespread effort to broaden educational opportunities for the diverse students enrolled in this course,” said Zach Silver, one of the teaching fellows for the new course. “Im thrilled
24、 to share my passion for this material with students across the country.”The original “Psychology and the Good Life” course attracted such a large enrollment of students that it was moved to Woolsey Hall, the largest concert hall on campus. The class has since given rise to both a highly successful
25、online course, “The Science of Well-Being,” available for free on Coursera with over three million enrollments to date, and the hit podcast “The Happiness Lab,” a top 5 Apple podcast with over 30 million downloads.“Our goal is to give students the tools they need to feel better.

The popularity of online courses.CCows produce much methane (甲烷), the worlds second worst greenhouse gas, as they break down the grass. They are a large source of
29、 the greenhouse gases that are driving climate change. Now scientists have shown the pollution from cows can be reduced by adding a little seaweed (海藻) to their food.Recently, the researchers from the University of California studied 21 cows on a farm for about five months. They taught the cows to g
30、et their food from inside a special hood, which allowed the scientists to know the amount of the methane the cows were giving off. They used a small amount of seaweed, which they mixed with the cows food.The consequences were surprisingly good. In some cases the cows produced 82% less methane. The i
31、mprovement depended on the kind of food the cows were given. Even the worst-polluting cows produced 33% less methane. Over the five months, the scientists didnt see any signs that the cows stomachs were getting used to the seaweed and starting to produce more methane again. Whats more, the cows that
32、 were led seaweed gained just as much weight as the other cows.But there are still some big problems with the idea of feeding cows seaweed. For one thing, theres not enough seaweed to feed all of the cows in the world. So farmers would have to figure out a way to grow lots of seaweed. A bigger probl
33、em is that for most of their lives, cows live in the fields,where they eat grass. That means theres no chance to feed them seaweed every day.Still, as the study shows, something as simple as feeding cows seaweed can help reduce some of the pollution causing the climate crisis.27. Why did the researc
34、hers carry out the study?A. To improve the cows living conditions.B. To test the effects of the seaweed.C. To measure the amount of methane produced by cows.D.

35、. The process of the research.C. The content of the experiment.D. The results of the study.29. What is the biggest challenge in the researchers opinion?A. Seaweed is pretty rare in the world.B. Its hard to mix seaweed with grass.C. Cows can hardly have daily access to seaweed.D. Cows fed with seawee

Negative.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Scientists are good critical thinkers. In his new book Think Again: The Power of Knowing What You Dont Know, psycho
37、logist Adam Grant goes into some depth into how thinking like a scientist can help the non-scientist make wiser decisions. He writes, “_31_. Otherwise, your opinions get out of date and your ideas fall flat.” Below is a summary of basic points from an interview.Dont form opinions or draw conclusions
38、just because you dont want to upset your social circle:“We generally end up with opinions that are influenced by and pretty much similar to the people in our social circles. _32_, I might be excluded from my group, and I dont want to take that risk.”Curiosity should be of great importance:“_33_. You
39、 look for reasons why you might be wrong, not just reasons why you must be right. You listen to ideas that make you think hard, not just the ones that make you feel good.”Accept the joy of being wrong:“Being wrong means Ive learned something. _34_. In some ways, the joy of being wrong is the freedom
40、 to keep learning. If you can accept the joy of being wrong, youll become someone whos eager to discover new things.”_35_:“When you form an opinion, make a list of conditions that would change your mind. That keeps you honest, because once you get attached to an opinion, its really hard to let go. B
41、ut if you recognize factors that would change your mind, you keep yourself flexible.”A. Be ready to update your opinionsB. So, if I let go of some of my viewsC. Understand the true meaning of mistakesD. If you dont get good at accepting new thingsE. If I find out I was right, theres no new knowledge
