A woman in the US is able to speak for the first time in 11 years after a pioneering voice box transplant. Brenda Jensen said the operation was a great success which had saved her life. Thirteen days after the surgery she said her first words： “Good morning, I want to go ” home. ”It is the first time a voice box and windpipe have been transplanted at the same time and only the second time a voice box has ever been transplanted. Ms. Jensen，52，had been unable to speak on her own since her voice box was damaged during surgery (手术) in 1999. Since then，she has been unable to taste or smell food，could breathe only through a hole in her windpipe and could talk only with the help of an electronic voice box. In October，doctors at the University of California Davis Medical Centre removed the voice box and 6cm of the windpipe from a donor body. In an 18一hour surgery，this was transplanted into Ms. Jensen's throat and the team connected it to her blood supply and nerves(神经). Professor Martin Birchall from University College London，who was part of the surgery team，said：”We've learned that we can repair nerves to make even very complex organs function again. It'll open the door to better facial transplants and will be extremely important as tissue (组织) engineering develops. ” A voice box transplant might be life changing，but it is not life saving. Everyone who receives a transplant must take drugs to control the immune system (免疫系统) for the rest of their lives. These drugs can reduce life expectancy，so they are normally set aside for life saving procedures. One of the reasons Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant was that she was already taking immune controlling drugs after a kidney-pancreas transplant four years ago. Professor Peter Belafsky，part of the surgical team，said：“Brenda was an exceptional candidate for the transplant because she was highly motivated. Anyone who's met Brenda knows that she is a strong and determined person with a great attitude towards life in spite of the many physical challenges she's faced over her lifetime. ” 1.The voice transplant surgery is of great importance because it proves that _______. A. facial transplants are now easier to perform B. new medical technology is always possible to discover C. nerve repairing is a breakthrough in tissue engineering D. the drugs taken after the surgery help the patient live longer 2.Ms. Jensen was a suitable person for this transplant because she was ________. A. strong—willed and prepared B. experienced and brave C. seriously ill and motivated D. determined and realistic 3.Which of the following is the fight time order of the event? a. Ms. Jensen received a voice box transplant operation. b. Ms. Jensen began to take immune controlling drugs. c. Doctors removed the voice box from a donor body. d. Ms. Jensen had a kidney—pancreas transplant surgery. A. acdb B. dbca C. bdca D. cabd 4.Which is the best title for the passage? A. First Words from New Voice Box B. Transplant Saves A Woman’s Life C. Courageous Woman Defeating Fears D. Overcoming Obstacles to Speak Again

In June 2014. Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three—year-old Victoria Wilcher，who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later，KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures. Brooke Binkowski，an editor，says that，during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this，but a lot of them are. ” Asked what the driving factor was，a journalist said，“You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone's door. You just sit at your desk and do it. ” Another journalist says，“There is definitely pressure to churn out(粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks，because they equal money. At my former employer in particular，the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.” In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism，Craig Silverman wrote，“Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours，a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached，repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor（传闻）becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. ” And，despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more，not less important，according to the New York Times’public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It's extremely important to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication. ”Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because. in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click，regardless of the advantage of a story”. And，“if the story does turn out to be false, it's simply a chance for another bite at the cherry. ” Verification and fact—checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers，and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change. 1.According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _______. A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited C. budgets are inadequate D. journalists lack experience 2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Lies can't sell without an atom of truth. B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind. C. You can hear rumors, but you can't know them. D. A lie, repeated often enough，will end up as truth. 3.What's Margaret Sullivan's attitude towards false news online? A. Negative. B. Supportive. C. Sceptical. D. Neutral. 4.What is the passage mainly about? A. Consequences of false stories. B. Causes of online false news. C. Incompetence of journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.
