A

Everyone gets anxious when the world takes an uncertain turn. And often， we treat that anxiety with a little panic buying.

A study published last year in the Journal of Consumer Research found that people buy things in troubled times as a means of keeping control over their lives. The researchers noted that utility items—specifically， cleaning products—tend to move most quickly from store shelves. The hoarding （囤积） of toilet paper， as perhaps the most fundamental cleaning product， may represent our most fundamental fears. An invisible enemy moves slowly and quietly towards us. We need to hold on to something in uncertain times. Maybe a hoard of toilet paper brings promises.

The thing is that its not actually going anywhere. For all the sharp words and even sharper elbows thrown around by the crazy toilet paper shoppers， they seem to be missing one essential fact： There is no toilet paper shortage.

As The New York Times points out， shop owners that see their shelves emptied often fill up the shelves again in a day， often in just a few hours.

“You are not using more of it. You are just filling up your closet with it，” Jeff Anderson， president of paper product manufacturer Precision Paper Converters， tells The Times.

The thing is that the toilet paper⁃obsessed shoppers have been infected with something many times more contagious （传染性的） than any coronavirus： fear.

“People are social creatures. We look to each other for cues for what is safe and what is dangerous，” Steven Taylor， a clinical psychologist at the University of British Columbia， tells Fox News. “And when you see someone in the store panic?buying， that can cause a fear contagion effect. People become anxious ahead of the actual infection. They havent thought about the bigger picture， like what are the consequences of hoarding toilet paper.”

When people sit together at night and enjoy the glorious moon， an ancient poem， Prelude to Water Melody， is often read for this occasion. Critics say its probably the best poem about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival. Lets just focus on its most famous five lines to make some analysis.

In the first two lines of the five， the writer is comparing the life of a man to the changing face of the moon. In Chinese culture the moon is always considered to be a perfect carrier of emotions like nostalgia （怀旧） and longing for family reunion. A full moon symbolizes perfection and unity， while a gloomy night may remind people of their misfortunes. When the moon is round and fair but people are separated from their loved ones， such moments can be even more heartbreaking.

Before the comparison， the poet actually complains about the seemingly “ruthless（無情的）” moon and asks her： You should have no spite （怨恨） against man， but why then when people part， are you often full and bright？ However， he soon realizes that no one has an easy ride， just like the moon may not always be bright. The imperfections have been going on since the beginning of time. Thats why he says “There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.”

But should we get bogged down （陷入） by the suffering of things which we cant change？ The poet gives his answer： Change your attitude and stay positive. So， we have this everlasting line， “ ” The poet hopes that people appreciate the fact that no matter where they are， as long as the ones they love and miss are healthy and happy， they can all admire the same moon high in the sky.

To his day people still use this verse to express their good will and wishes for family members and friends who cant be with them， especially during major festivals.

B. When we must recite the best Chinese poem about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.

C. What made a poet write the best ever Chinese Mid⁃Autumn Festival poem.

D. Why a poem is the peak of Chinese poetry about the Mid⁃Autumn Festival.

A. He didnt understand why the moon hates humans.

B. He knew eventually the moon will become full again.

C. He realized life is always accompanied by imperfections.

D. He understood life is too ruthless and lost his interest in it.

A. How long will the full moon last？ Wine cup in hand I ask the sky.

B. Looking up， I find the moon bright; bowing， in homesickness Im drowned.

C. In spring the river rises as high as the sea; with the rivers tide uprising the moon

brightens.

moon together.

While scientists have been modifying （修改） plant genes for years in biotechnology， they usually focus on a few specific genes in order to get a particular result. Plants have tens of thousands of genes. The genetically modified product （GMP） wont be dramatically different from its natural one. It may have a few features that the natural version doesnt have， but otherwise will remain identical.

Some people worry that genetic modification， which introduces genes from one species into an entirely different species， could create new allergens （過敏原）. In fact， it may turn out that the opposite is true. Depending on the food， scientists might be able to remove or prevent the proteins that act as allergens for some people. This isnt true for every food， but genetic markers scientists use could lead to developing bacteria with a built⁃in resistance to antibiotics （抗生素）. Scientists use antibiotic gene markers to link genes for the desired features. Also， by exposing modified plants cells to antibiotics， a scientist can confirm whether or not the genetic modification is successful.

But what if that resistance could be passed on the bacteria？ Its possible that bacteria in the soil around a plant with antibiotic resistance could pick up the DNA. The bacteria could， in theory， pass this feature to other types of bacteria harmful to humans. So far， however， scientists have been unable to transfer antibiotic resistance genes from plants to bacteria.

In the United States， farmers dont have to label genetically modified foods or products. Both the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration have very strict regulations that products must pass before they can go to the market.

Its possible that the foods that come from biotechnology are not only safe to eat， but theyre actually safer than their natural counterparts. While the controversy around genetically modified food is far from resolved， it appears that you shouldnt worry if the ear of corn youre about to enjoy got its start in a laboratory.

12. How could scientists deal with a plant in biotechnology？

A. By changing some cells. B. By adding some foreign genes.

C. By producing some natural proteins. D. By removing some of its branches.

13. Why do scientists expose modified plants cells to antibiotics？

A. To promote their resistance. B. To get their unexpected features.

C. To see the effect of the modification. D. To improve the ability against bacteria.

14. What can be concluded from the text？

A. It takes time for customers to accept bioengineered food.

B. The laws in America are far from strict in regulating the GMP.

C. American farmers only care about improving their food produce.

D. Scientists have developed certain food beneficial to human health.

15. What attitude does the author hold to the GMP？

A. Positive. B. Negative. C. Ambiguous. D. Indifferent.

I experienced years of loneliness as a child. 16 His friends teased him about babysitting his sister and his interests were far different from mine. With no other kids of my age in the neighborhood， I had to spend hours by myself.

When my mother saw my creations， she told me how creative my designs were. 19 I learned a lot about how to extend the life of objects and transform them into something new and useful. It was a trait （特点） others found helpful， and I soon had friends who wanted to make things with me.

20 My parents made it a point for their two kids to spend time outside， no matter what the weather or season was. My brother， of course， raced off to be with his friends， while I had plenty to do myself. There was making leaf houses in autumn， ice skating in winter， and so much more. Theyre all memories I treasure today.

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。

It was January 24. I had finally completed my last radiation treatment. It had been a long journey—eight months in total since my initial diagnosis of breast cancer—and I had been looking forward to this day for a very long time. My husband Casey， who was wearing a pink ribbon on his jacket， was waiting for me in the lobby at Sunnybrook hospital in Toronto. As a symbol to raise peoples awareness of breast cancer， the pink ribbon had become a part of our life. On the way back home， we reflected on the past months and discussed what lay ahead for our family.

We arrived home in time to have dinner with our three children—Tyler， eleven， Brady， nine， and Eve， six. The kids greeted me with hugs that I think were a little bit tighter and lasted a little bit longer than usual.

We were heading to the skating rink （溜冰場） that night. My son Brady had a hockey game and if his Tiger team won， they would move onto the next round. As a typical Canadian hockey mom， I had always loved going to the rink to watch my kids play. But since my diagnosis， the rink and the Tiger players had come to mean even more to me： it was my happy time in those painful months.

When we arrived at the rink， we were greeted with warm hellos. You could tell it was a big game as there was a large crowd of Tiger parents gathering in the lobby outside the dressing room. About ten minutes before game time， Bradys coach came out to the lobby and invited all the parents to come into the dressing room.
