Keeping a good habit are very important, but I’m a little lazy and find that hard to keep a good habit. Last Sunday, I went to play football with some friends as the usual. It was already ten o’clock when I get home. I was so tired that I went straight to bed instead taking a bath first. The next morning, we went to take a bath and then went to school. However, it was very cold that morning and I didn’t dry my hairs, I got a bad cold and felt terribly the whole day and I started to regret how I had done. If I had taken a bath the moment I arrived home, I wouldn’t have got a cold. See, a good habit is true important.

The Millennial Trains Project is a non-profit organization that enables young people to get involved in creative projects. The organization leads crowdfunded train journeys. 1. The organization has already completed two journeys, through the northern and central United States. Twenty-four people are now getting ready to be a part of the third.
To earn a place on the train, each person has to raise $5,000. 2. At each stop, they get off the train to explore a different town or city. The idea is to visit small businesses, community centers, schools -or wherever their projects take them.
3. He knows that universities are becoming more and more expensive each year, and many people think higher education is no longer affordable. Over the next 10 days he is visiting seven universities. He wants to see what they are doing to meet these challenges.
Catherine Tsavalas is planning to explore how bookstores and libraries improve local communities. 4. She also wants to know if they are using social media to connect with people.
Hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, floods—research suggests these are going to happen more and more. Jenny Gottstein thinks she can address these challenges. At each stop, she is planning to interview local leaders, emergency workers, and computer game designers. 5. She believes people are more likely to remember something important when the information is fun and game-like.
These 24 people are strangers now, but not for long. The next week is going to be a life-changing learning experience for many.
A. She then plans to create a game to help people prepare for disasters.
B. Trevor Eagle wants to make s difference to the education system.
C. Besides money, they also need to have an idea for a project.
D. Community leaders will travel by train across American South.
E. These journeys provide the young with the chance to help different communities.
F. Tyson Foods had supported the project for a 10-day journey across the US.
G. She wants to find out what they are doing to encourage more people to read.
Don’t like seeds in your tomatoes? You might be pleased to know that seedless ones have been created by gene editing.
This could create a wide range of seedless fruits, but few may ever be seen in the supermarket if regulators decide to treat gene-edited crops in the same way as genetically engineered ones.
Several seedless fruits, from bananas to grapes, are already available, but have mostly come about by luck rather than design. And although there are a few seedless varieties of tomatoes, they’ve taken researchers many years to create.
Now it can be done very quickly, as Keishi Osakabe at Tokushima University in Japan has shown. His team used the CRISPR gene editing technology to make fruits develop even though no seeds had begun to form. “We haven’t tasted them yet, but in theory they should taste the same,” says Osakabe.
There have been a few efforts to create seedless tomatoes using earlier genetic-engineering techniques. These methods take longer time compared with CRISPR.
Some “seedless” fruits just have very small seeds, and still require pollination (授粉). But completely seedless fruits like the edited tomato do not require pollination at all. Such plants could improve food security by reducing our reliance on smaller bee populations, says Saul Cunningham at the Australian National University. Many fruit growers buy bees to pollinate their crops.
There is a deficiency for farmers, however. Seedless plants usually have to be grown from cuttings, which involves more labor than planting seeds.
CRISPR could be used to develop other types of fruit that don’t require pollinator, as well as introduce beneficial mutations (突变), says Osakabe.
But to make it on to the supermarket, gene-edited plants may have to meet the same standards as genetically engineered plants, which would greatly increase costs. Some argue chat since gene editing is used to introduce mutations already found in some of the plants we eat, it should not require such strict regulations.
1.What has been the problem with tomatoes created in the past?
A.Their taste was not very good. B.They still had a few big seeds.
C.Their genes could not be recognized. D.They took quite a long time to create.
2.What did Keishi Osakabe’s team do?
A.They edited tomatoes’ genes.
B.They changed the taste of tomatoes.
C.They made seedless bananas and grapes.
D.They created genetically engineered tomatoes.
3.Why is CRISPR better than previous methods?
A.It will still require pollination.
B.It will remain unaffected without bees.
C.It will reduce people’s reliance on food security.
D.It will make many growers buy bees for pollination.
4.What does the underlined word “deficiency” in Paragraph probably mean?
A.Danger. B.Disadvantage.
C.Benefit. D.Solution.
