His heartbeat was nearly gne, and he'd stpped breathing. The baby had just mments t live.
“I saw him gasp, but the dctr said it was n use,” Kate tld the Daily Mail five years later. “I knw it sunds stupid, but if he was still gasping, that was a sign f life. I wasn't ging t give up easily.”
Still, the Sydney cuple knew this was likely gdbye. In an effrt t cherish her last minutes with the tiny by, Kate asked t hld him.
“I wanted t meet him, and fr him t knw us,” Kate tld Tday. “We’d resigned urselves t the fact that we were ging t lse him, and we were just trying t make the mst f thse last, precius mments.”
Kate unwrapped the by, whm the cuple had already named Jamie, frm his hspital blanket and rdered David t take his shirt ff and jin them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their sn t be as warm as pssible and hped the skin-t-skin cntact wuld imprve his cnditin. They als talked t him.

Then smething miraculus happened. Jamie gasped again—and then he started breathing. Finally, he reached fr his father's finger.
The cuple's lst by had made it.
“We’re the luckiest peple in the wrld,” David tld Tday. Eight years later, Jamie and his sister, Emily, are happy and healthy. The Oggs nly recently tld the kids the stry f their birth. “Emily burst int tears,” Kate said. “She was really upset, and she kept hugging Jamie. This whle experience makes yu cherish them mre.”

In the mvie “The Wrng Trusers”, a pair f futuristic trusers lets peple walk n walls and ceilings. Inspired by the mvie, researchers in England created “The Right Trusers”, a set f trusers embedded(嵌入) with electrical pumps t frce air int tiny tubes that expand and can help elderly r disabled peple with issues like getting up r imprving bld flw. Nw, material scientists, cmputer prgrammers and fabric designers are wrking t advance rbtic clthing.
In June, researchers in Australia created rbtic fibers, which can make fabric mve autmatically. Last year, scientists at MIT built fiber batteries that culd be embedded int clthes and pwer rbtic clthing. In recent years, Ggle partnered with brands like Levi's and Adidas t put sensrs in jackets, backpacks and shes, letting users access their phnes instantly. Researchers said they culd sn unlck an era where clthing will act mre like a cmputer, sensing hw yur bdy feels and telling yur clthes hw t help.
At the University f New Suth Wales in Australia, researchers are creating fabric s that can shape-shift. Thanh Nh D, a senir lecturer at the schl, said his team has created tiny tubes that can weave int sheets f fabric. These tubes can make fabric take varius preprgrammed shapes. But challenges still remain fr D’s team, ntably arund making these rbtic tubes smaller s they can weave easily with ther fabrics.
Rebecca Kramer Bttigli frm Yale University agreed that many challenges remain befre smart clthing “reaches their full ptential.” It will be challenging t make these clthes, equipped with fibers and technlgy, strng enugh t g thrugh multiple cycles in the laundry, she said. Despite that, she says researchers will figure ut a way frward. “Recent breakthrughs pint tward a nt-s-distant future where smart clthing will be a part f ur everyday life.” she said.
28. What inspired the researchers t cme up with “The Right Trusers”?
A. A film.
B. A bld issue.
C. The way electrical pumps wrk.
D. The way the elderly and disabled mve.
29. What did scientists at MIT d last year?

B. They created mvable rbtic fibers.
C. They made batteries fr rbtic clthing.
D. They released smart clthing cnnected t cellphnes.
30. What des D's team find challenging?
A. Making rbtic tubes smaller.
B. Keeping rbtic tubes prperly shaped.
C. Prducing strnger rbtic tubes.
D. Prgramming the shape f rbtic tubes.
31. What is Rebecca’s attitude tward the future f smart clthing?

Yu can see it with the naked eye and pick it up with a pair f tweezers(镊子)—nt bad fr a bacterium. Scientists say they have discvered the wrld's largest variety in the mangrves(红树林) f Guadelupe, putting its small peers t shame.
Bacteria are the planet's ldest life frms, essential t mst living rganisms. But at up t 2cmin length, the “Thimargarita magnifica” is arund 5,000 times bigger than mst bacteria and has a mre cmplex structure, accrding t a study published in the jurnal Science.
The discvery “shakes up a lt f knwledge” in micrbilgy, c-authr f the study Olivier Grs said. In his labratry, Prfessr Grs was amazed at a test tube hlding white strands(细丝). Originally, he thught it was “anything but a bacterium” because nrmal bacteria are nly between 1-5 micrmeters lng. The largest-knwn bacterium until nw had a maximum length f arund 750 micrmeters. This species averages 10,000 micrmeters(arund 1cm), with sme grwing up t twice that length. Techniques revealed it was a bacterial rganism, but there was n guarantee it was a single cell. Assciate Prfessr Silvina Gnzalez-Rizz fund it belnged t the Thimargarita family. Next a researcher in Paris suggested they were indeed dealing with just ne cell—but a first attempt at peer review a few years later was abandned.
“We were tld, ‘This is interesting, but we lack the infrmatin t believe yu’,” Prfessr Grs said, adding that they needed strnger images t prvide prf.
Then with financial backing and access t sme f the best tls in the field, Dr Jean-Marie Vlland and his clleagues began building up a picture f the bacterium. It was clearly enrmus by bacterial standards. Scaled up(增大) t human prprtins, it wuld be like meeting smene as tall as Munt Qmlangma”, Dr Vlland said. Specialist 3D micrscpe images finally made it pssible t prve that the entire strand was indeed a single cell.
They als helped Dr Vlland make a “cmpletely unexpected” discvery. Nrmally, a bacterium's DNA flats freely in the cell. But in this giant species, it is pressed firmly in small structures, which are “nrmally a feature f human, animal and plant cells, cmplex rganisms... but nt bacteria,” Dr Vlland said.
32. What des the underlined wrd “peers” in paragraph 1 refer t?
A. ther bacteria B. ther scientists
C. a pair f tweezers D. mangrves in ther places
33. What can we learn abut Prfessr Grs’ initial judgment n the white strands?
A. It was cnfirmed by Silvina Gnzalez-Rizz.
B. It represented a breakthrugh in the field f micrbilgy.
C. It was made based n his previus knwledge abut bacteria.
D. It gave inspiratin t ther scientists' research n the strands' structure.
34. What did researchers need t prvide t prve their findings?
A. The prcess f their research.
B. Data n the weight f a single cell.
C. Strnger pictures f the bacterium.
D. Cmparisn amng varius bacteria.
35. What is anther discvery abut the “Thimargarita magnifica” accrding t the last paragraph?
A. It has the feature f cmplex rganisms.
B. Its DNA flats freely inside it.
C. Its length is twice its width.
D. It is a single cell.
