My hands were shaking uncntrllably. I tried incredibly hard t fcus n the wrds that I spent hurs putting dwn n paper. I tried t cnquer my fear f speaking in public n numerus ccasins thrughut my life. During cllege and at my first few jbs, I wuld get ridiculusly nervus when I had t give a presentatin r lead a meeting. Public speaking had been my nemesis fr as lng as I culd remember.
Then in my mid-thirties, I decided t jin the public speaking grup Tastmasters. At every meeting, we were rated and frced t cmpete with ther speakers fr an award. Yu wuld think that I wuld walk away frm these experiences as a plished speaker, but nthing seemed t wrk.
It wasn’t until recently when science and scientific institutins were being attacked fr unfair reasns during the pandemic that I decided I must speak ut. Science has made this cuntry a place where dreams cme true — this is why we all need t prtect science. In additin, as a science writer, I try t get readers t understand hw science is related t their daily lives. S, I ended up n that frightening stage n that sunny Saturday in April — Earth Day. Despite the bdy shakes and fear, I persevered. That day, I lked ut int the crwd f like-minded science supprters and I felt cmfrt.
Reaching that milestne gal f getting thrugh a speech truly changed me. At almst frty, I learned that passin can set ff a flame in my heart t d things I never dreamed pssible. The darkness that led t my speech is sure t lead t new pprtunities and adventures.

7. What lessn did the authr draw frm his successful speech?
A. Frustratin can be a stepping stne t success.

A case highlights a little-knwn fact abut a pr diet: aside frm being tied t besity, heart disease and cancer, they can als permanently damage the nervus system, particularly visin, accrding t a reprt published in the jurnal Annals f Internal Medicine.
A teen wh ate nthing but fries, chips and ther junk fd fr years slwly went blind. The teen’s prblems began at age 14, when he went t the dctr’s ffice cmplaining f tiredness. The teen was reprtedly a picky eater, and bld tests shwed he had lw levels f vitamin B12. He was treated with injectins f vitamin B12 alng with advice n hw t imprve his diet.
Hwever, by age 15, he develped hearing lss and visin prblems, but dctrs culdn’t seem t find the cause—results frm an MRI and eye exam were nrmal. Over the next tw years, the teen’s visin gt prgressively wrse. When the by was 17, an eye test shwed that his visin was 20/200 in bth eyes, the threshld (起始点) fr being “legally blind” in the United States.
Further tests shwed the teen had develped damage t the ptic nerve (视神经). Furthermre, the teen still had lw levels f vitamin B12, alng with lw levels f selenium (硒) and vitamin D. These deficiencies caused dctrs t ask the teen abut the fds he ate. “The patient admitted that, since elementary schl, the nly things he ate had been fries, chips, white bread, prcessed ham slices and sausage,” the authrs frm the University f Bristl in the United Kingdm wrte in the reprt.
This kind f visin lss is ptentially reversible (可逆的) if caught early. Hwever, by the time the teen was diagnsed, his visin lss was permanent. “What’s mre, wearing glasses wuld nt help the teen’s visin, because damage t the ptic nerve cannt be crrected with lenses,” said the study lead authr Dr. Denize Atan.
8. Why did the teen’s cnditin get wrse?
A. His illness culdn’t be treated.
B. He kept having a pr diet.
C. Vitamin B12 didn’t wrk n him.
D Tiredness caused damage t his nerves.
9. Which f the fllwing may nt be the bad effect caused by pr diet?
A. Obesity.B. Cancer.C. Pr eyesight.D. Bld disease.
10. What can be inferred abut the teen?
A. His ptic nerve will be recvered.
B. His prblems will be slved well.
C. He is advised t take in mre nutritin.
D. His visin can’t be imprved by wearing glasses.

Starch (淀粉) is the main cmpnent f flur, rice and crn amng thers, while carbn dixide makes up the vast majrity f greenhuse gases. One day, humans may be able t “eat” carbn dixide, and glbal warming culd be “eaten away” by carbn lvers. Althugh it sunds wild, the day is cming.
Chinese scientists have created starch using carbn dixide, hydrgen and electricity, accrding t a study published in Science in September, 2021. “Plants create starch thrugh phtsynthesis (光合作用), which is a cmplex and inefficient prcess,” Ma Yanhe, directr f the Tianjin Institute f Industrial Bitechnlgy, Chinese Academy f Sciences, tld China Daily. He added that it wuld take a plant abut 60 steps t turn carbn dixide, water and sunlight int starch.
“Our breakthrugh shws that making starch is achievable in a lab. This methd makes it pssible t prduce fd in factries and there are many industries that can benefit frm this technlgy,” Ma tld China Daily.
The team has been wrking n the prcess fr 6 years. “The first step f the methd is t cnvent carbn dixide and hydrgen int methanl (甲醇), which is a mlecule (分子) that cntains a single carbn atm,” Cai Ta, ne f the first authrs f the study, tld. China Daily,
Scientists then piece these single-carbn mlecules int bigger and mre cmplex mlecules. With the help f supercmputing, Chinese scientists have simplified the natural starch-making prcess frm abut 60 steps t 11.
“The new prcess has made it pssible t turn starch prductin frm traditinal agricultural prductin t industrial prductin. And it may be pssible t satisfy ur needs withut farming in the future. This will nt nly help save water, fertilizer and land but als help recycle carbn dixide t deal with climate change, a research fellw f the Chinese Academy f Sciences tld the Glbal Times.
The study can als benefit space explratin in the future. The starch may prvide a secure fd surce fr astrnauts as they travel lng distances in space by simply turning the carbn dixide they breathe ut int fd.
12. What des Ma Yanhe think f the new methd f creating starch?
A. It’s extremely cmplex and inefficient.
B. It’s achievable thrugh phtsynthesis.
C. It’s mre efficient than the natural methd.
D. It’s a way f dealing with glbal warming.
13. What’s the main idea f paragraph 6?
A. The methd f prducing starch traditinally.
B. The differences between prducing starch traditinally and industrially.
C. The benefits f prducing starch industrially.
D. The methd f recycling carbn dixide.
14. What can be learned abut the breakthrugh?
A. It can change the way f starch prductin.
B. It can help imprve peple’s health.
C. It can prvide astrnauts with nutritius fd.
D. It can save farmers frm traditinal agriculture.
15. What can be the best title f this passage?
A. Hungry fr starchB. Smart with starch
C. Secure abut fd supplyD. Beneficial t fd diversity
