Recently, fur prfessrs f neurscience were awarded the Brain Prize fr their lifechanging cntributins t the research n migraines(偏头痛), a disease previusly nt understd well.
Prfessr Michael Mskwitz frm Harvard Medical Schl, Peter Gadsby frm King’s Cllege Lndn, Lars Edvinssn frm Lund University in Sweden, and Jes Olesen frm Rigshspitalet, Denmark, were celebrated as the recipients f the Brain Prize, the wrld’s mst distinguished award highlighting achievements in brain research. The Crwn Prince f Denmark presented the fur prfessrs with a grand prize f rughly 1.5 millin dllars n Octber 25 in Cpenhagen, Denmark.
Migraines remain ne f the mst serius and cmmn neurlgical illnesses millins arund the wrld suffer. Studies shw that wmen are three times mre likely t experience frequent and intense migraines than men, and symptms can last up t 24 hurs. Typically, these intense head-thrbbing pains are als accmpanied by vmiting(呕吐), dizziness and sensitivity t sund, light, and tuch.
After ver frty years f research, the fur prfessrs pinpinted the majr cause — chemicals released within the brain. Previusly, the main causes f migraines were thught t be stress, pressure r anxiety. In 1979, Prfessr Michael Mskwitz discvered that headaches ccur when thin nerves are fund in ur head and face t interact with a highly-sensitive membrane(膜) surrunding ur brain, releasing chemicals called neurpeptides. These chemicals can then cause the bld vessels in ur head t expand and als send pain signals t the brain. Later, research by Prfessr Gadsby and Edvinssn revealed that the specific neurpeptide which plays the central rle in causing the intense headache is calcitnin gene-related peptide (CGRP). Then, Prfessr Olesen’s wrk further cnfirmed that CGRP is indeed respnsible fr the pain, rather than a chemical prduced in the brain as a result f the migraines.
The wrk by these scientists paves the way fr develping mre effective medicine. While past treatments can nly temprarily stp the pain, scientists say that the newly develped drugs nt nly prevent migraines but als dn’t cause the harmful side effects patients had t endure.
28. Wh received the grand prize in the cuntry where he wrks?
A. Jes Olesen.B. Peter Gadsby.C. Lars Edvinssn.D. Michael Mskwitz.
29. What d we knw abut migraines?
A. Migraines are a rare and strange illness.
B. All the symptms f intense migraines last 24 hurs.
C. Females’ chance f getting migraines is higher than males’.
D. Vmiting, dizziness and sensitivity lead t migraines.
30. What is the majr cause f migraines?
A. Stress, pressure r anxiety.B. A highly-sensitive membrane.
C. Chemical called neurpeptides.D. Interactins between thin nerves.
31. In which sectin f a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Medicine. B. Bilgy.C. Literature. D. Psychlgy.

Peple have been predicting the death f cable TV(有线电视) fr a lng time, but this really might be it. Just a decade ag, nearly all Americans — mre than 85 percent f U.S. husehlds — paid fr packages f TV channels frm cable r satellite cmpanies. That started t drp slwly at first and then far mre quickly in the past few years. Nw, the share f American hmes that pay fr traditinal TV service is appraching 50 percent, accrding t expert Craig Mffett and S&P Glbal Market Intelligence’s Kagan research grup.
Fr cmparisn, cellphnes were arund fr decades befre the percentage f Americans wh didn’t have a fixed phne at hme reached 50 percent, arund 2017. Maybe it seems predictable that cable TV wuld g the way f the fixed phne. I prmise yu that it was nt necessarily bvius, even nce Netflix started t take ff. Old habits die hard. Old industries that make a lt f peple rich die even harder. And dn’t frget that sme new technlgy habits catch n fast but dn’t stick. What may be a final drp in America’s cable TV industry is a big deal. It shws that technlgy can change deep-rted ways f ding things slwly, and then suddenly.
Ian Olgeirsn, a research directr at Kagan wh has been fllwing America’s TV market fr abut 20 years, tld me that he was surprised by hw quickly the mnthly cable bill went frm being standard t utdated fr many Americans. Olgeirsn and ther TV experts I’ve been speaking t didn’t single ut a turning pint in cable TV’s big drp. They said the dwnward trend(趋势) was mre like a series f prgressive changes building up.
It’s clear that the cable TV system that fr decades brught jy and headaches t tens f millins f Americans is wearing thin. The unknwn is whether Americans keep turning away frm cable and satellite TV relatively slwly, r whether it will fail suddenly.
I have always lved TV. I felt like a real grwn-up when I first started t pay a huge bill fr televisin, partly t watch my favrite ftball team. I had reduced my cable TV package, but then a few mnths ag I was tld that my bill was ging t increase by abut $10 a mnth. That was it. I’m a n-cable husehld nw, t.

B. T shw it is nt easy fr cable TV t g away.
C. T illustrate there is n market left fr cable TV.
D. T explain technlgy can bring frtune t peple.

Nature, while beautiful, culd als be unpredictable and merciless. But mst imprtantly we bear in mind that in the darkest times, there’s always a light at the end f the tunnel, just like Mrs. Evans’ cabin light.
One bright summer day, my friend Peter and I decided t take an adventure int the unexplred paths f the Great Smky Muntains. Blessed with rich bidiversity and fascinating landscapes, the natinal park seemed a perfect getaway. Little did we knw that ur casual(随意的) hike wuld sn turn int an unexpected persnal incident, frever kept in ur memries.
We set ff early in the mrning, equipped with ur backpacks and a map that was suppsed t guide us thrugh the winding paths. The sun was up, casting lng shadws n the frest flr as we set ff n ur jurney. We trekked(艰难行走), laughed, and wndered at the beauty f nature arund us.
As we trekked thrugh the thick frests, taking in the natural wnders arund us, we culdn’t help but feel a sense f adventure cursing thrugh ur bdy. The path was rugh and rcky, but we persisted(坚持) thrugh the challenging landscape.
Midway thrugh ur explratin, we came upn a breathtaking waterfall, its shining waters puring dwn the rcks in a quiet and peaceful meldy. We sat dwn by the water’s edge, taking a mment t get lst in the beauty f nature. The cl mist frm the waterfall surrunded us, and we felt refreshed and energetic.
As the day went n, we trekked deeper int the wilderness, eager t explre every crner f this natural paradise. We were s absrbed in the beauty f nature that we just didn’t ntice ur way and it seemed that we culd nt find the way back t the familiar part f the frest.
Frightened, we hurried t find ur way back but the thick frests and winding paths nly served t cnfuse us further. We tried t remember any pssible signs that might lead us back. N sner had we celebrated ur return t the clear paths than smething wrse happened.

Suddenly, the weather tk an unexpected turn. Dark cluds sailed acrss the sky, and a heavy rain pured dwn. The cmfrting frest sunds quickly turned int a terrifying symphny f thunder and wind. The path that was nce s clear became a muddy mess, making it impssible t cntinue. Hard as we tried cnsulting ur map, it was t late. We were lst in the wilderness. Hurs passing, ur attempts t find the path prved t be in vain. With the cld creeping in, a wave f despair swept ver us.
Just when we were abut t give up, a faint light appeared in the distance. Curisity verpwered ur fear, and we decided t fllw it. As we drew clser, we saw a small lg cabin, frm whse windw lights were shining. Nt lng befre we kncked at the dr with hpe, Mrs. Evans, a retired frester living in the heart f the muntains, welcmed us with a warm smile. She ffered us shelter fr the night, and the next mrning, guided us back t the familiar path. Waving gdbye t Mrs. Evans, we headed hme, bathed in the warm sunshine.
