I hadn't reached my destination, but I rang the bell to exit 6., in tears, walked home. A
few days later, I tried 7. bus again, and the same thing happened. The thing that 8.(force)me to avoid highway driving was now forcing me to avoid public transit.
That evening, I told my husband about that. But he was as 9. (puzzle) as I was. We searched online for "fear of highways" and "fear of public transportation" and got lots of hits, 10. is when we learned that the episodes were actually classic panic attacks.

Could blood shortages become a thing of the past? Bacterial enzymes (W) from the human gut (肠，内脏)turn type A blood into the type universally accepted for transfusions, and do it more efficiently than current methods.
Our blood comes in four main varieties: A, B, AB and O. The red blood cells in each type are similar in shape, but they have different sugars on their surfaces. Red blood cells in type A host a particular set of these sugars, with type B having a different set. AB blood cells carry both A and B sugars and type O cells have none.
These sugars can act as antigens(抗原),causing an immune response. For instance, transfusing type B blood into someone with type A can cause death. That is what makes anyone with type O blood a universal donor: there are none of these antigens. So being able to remove these sugars from A, B and AB type blood would be helpful, effectively making it usable in transfusions for all.
"We knew that those same sugars that are on our red blood cells are also produced on the inside of the gut wall," says Steve Withers at the University of British Columbia, Canada. So he and his colleagues started searching for bacteria in human waste (粪便)that might make enzymes that let them feed on and break down gut wall sugars.
Analyzing bacterial genes, they found a family of enzymes that help gut bacteria harvest the sugars. When the team combined the enzymes with type A blood, the sugars were removed from the blood cells, resulting in type O blood. The process is 30 times more efficient than an existing one involving other enzymes.
The bacterial enzymes will have to go through more safety testing before they can be used in blood for human transfusions, but it is a promising step, says Withers. He presented the work at a meeting of the American Chemical Society in Boston this week.
1.Why is a man with type O blood a universal donor?
A.The similar shape of his red blood cells.
B.No sugars on his red blood cells.
C.Different sugars on the blood cells.
D.Different quantity of his red blood cells.
2.How do researchers remove the sugars from blood cells?
A.By analyzing bacteria genes.
B.By combining the enzymes with blood.
C.By removing the enzymes from the cells.
D.By involving different enzymes in blood.
3.In which column of the newspaper can this passage be read?

Airport security is there to protect you, but it may also make you feel bad or worse.
To all the places and surfaces we've been warned that are filled with bacteria-your pets, the subway seats, airplane cabins, the A. T. M.- add the airport security tray.
The plastic trays have been found to harbor a variety of germs including the ones responsible for the common cold.
Scientists examined frequently touched surfaces at Helsinki Airport in Finland during and after busy hours in the winter of 2016 and picked up marks o£ the influenza A virus and rhino virus, the source of the common cold. They found traces on half the luggage trays, more than on any of the other surfaces they tested. None of these viruses were found on toilet surfaces at the airport.
The findings could help improve public health strategies in the fight against the spread of infectious diseases worldwide. The study could also help educate people on how the infections we try to avoid each winter spread.
Many of the surfaces we touch on a daily basis harbor and can spread germs. But air travel is known to accelerate the worldwide spread of diseases.
"The presence of bacteria in the environment of an airport has not been investigated previously, '' said Niina Ikonen, who was involved in the study. She added that the results provided new ideas for technical improvements in airport design and refurbishment(翻新).
The results of the study did not prove that the viruses found can cause disease. But previous research had proved that bacteria can survive on various surfaces for several days.
Washing your hands properly and coughing into a handkerchief tissue or sleeve can help minimize the risk of infection. Professor Van-Tam said, ''These simple precautions can help prevent infections and are most important in crowded areas like airports that have a high volume of people traveling to and from many different parts of the world".
1.What's the result of scientists' examination at Helsinki Airport?
A.The influenza A virus and rhino virus existed everywhere.
B.The common cold was caused by Influenza A virus.
C.The luggage trays had the most viruses.
D.The toilet surfaces were the cleanest.
2.What can we know from Niina's study?
A.Virus can survive on airport surfaces for days.
B.Disease is spread mostly by air travel.
C.All the viruses on the surfaces cause diseases.
D.Some surfaces harbor or spread no bacteria.
3.What's Van-Tam's suggestion on preventing infections?
A.Not traveling abroad.
B.Taking care in airports or subways.
C.Not touching anything in the airport.
D.Avoiding crowded areas.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about?
A.Ways to spread virus.
B.Prevention of disease.
C.Virus found on the surfaces.
D.A disadvantage of airport security.
Steve Sterner's job as a pianist playing music for silent movies started on a fancy idea about four decades ago.
He was at a friend's party and decided to make sound by beating the ivories(象牙)while a silent cartoon played. Impressed with the performance, his friend invited him to play along to a full-length feature silent film at the theater.
This fall, Mr. Sterner, 67 years old, is celebrating his 35th anniversary as a piano accompanist at Film Forum by playing 12 silent movies of his choice at the theater in Greenwich Village, He has picked movies starring Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton and ones directed by Frank Borzage. The series started in August and goes until early November.

Over the past three decades, he said he has seen more people, especially younger audiences, coming to see silent films.
"For many years people didn't pay attention to silent films," Mr. Goldstein said. "But now people discover that silent films are the roots for movies,"
