Merrill first thught abut ging t schl part-time t get a degree, but later she decidedt fllw her dream f attending medical schl. Certainly, it was a challenge. Speaking f her successfullyreturning t university, Merrill thught it was credited t her family largely. “When I was accepted at MayClinic Alix Schl f Medicine, we mved frm Pennsylvania t Arizna,” said Merrill, wh is mving tIndiana with her family t begin her residency(实习期) in neursurgery. “In fact,they vlunteered thesemvements. I knw it was tugh fr all f us.”

Merrill felt tuched knwing her 11-year-ld daughterwants t becme a surgen and verhearing her sn tell his friends his mm’s ging t be a cl brainsurgen, thugh he desn’t understand that really.
Merrill’s next step int aneursurgery residency will take her int a male-dminated field where nly5% f bard certified neursurgens are wmen.

It’s the same advice she wuld give t all. “Set the gal that is what yu’rereally enthusiastic abut,and it helps t think small. If yu knw what yur pririties are, fcus n thenext step. Then yu’ll get where yu want t g.”
24.Why des Merrill speak f their mvements?

Giving silkwrm silk a metallic bath may make the strands(丝线) bth strng and slid,scientists reprted n Octber 6 in Matter.The wrkis the latest in a decades-lng pursuit f creating fibers as strng,lightweight and bidegradable as spider silk. If scientists can mass-prduce such material, the ptential uses will range frm the bimedical t theathletic. Sewing (缝) up wunds, even sprting equipment culd get asignificant imprvement.
“Hunting fr enugh silky material t make these super strngprducts has been a big barrier. Silk frm silkwrms is simple t harvest,but nt all that strng.And spider silk, the gld-standard fr hand-spunstrength and tughness,is nt exactly easy t cllect. Unlike silkwrms,spiders cannt be farmed due t their nature,” wrte study cauthr ZhiLin,a structural bilgist at Tianjin University.
“Scientists arund the wrld have tried t spin(编织) strng strandsin the lab using silkwrm ccns.The first step is t take ff the silk’ssticky uter cating. Scientists can d this by biling the fibers in achemical bath, but that can be like taking a knife t silk prteins. If theprteins get t damaged, it’s hard fr scientists t respin them int high-quality strands,” said Chris Hlland, a materials scientist at the Universityf Sheffield.
Lin’s team tried gentler appraches, ne f which used lwertemperatures and a papaya enzyme(木瓜酵素), t help disslve(溶解) the silk’s cating. That seemed t wrk. They dn’t have little pieces f silkprtein. That’s huge because the bigger the prteins that remain, thestrnger the fibers are ging t be. After sme prcessing steps, theresearchers bathed the pressed silk in a slutin cntaining zinc and irnins(锌铁离子). That was why sme f the strands were s strng—Lin’steam detected zinc ins in the finished fibers.
But Hlland wasn’ts sure. “The team’s real innvatin may be thatthey’ve managed t untwist silk in a less damaging way.The silk prteinremains in a gd state,” he said, “In my mind,that’s a majr stepfrward.”
28.Why is creating super strng silk wrth the lng-time pursuit?
A. It can be mass-prduced.
B.It prmtes athletic training.
C. It might have wide applicatins.
D. It is ptentially envirnmentally friendly.
29. What makes it hard t cllect desirable natural silk accrding t Lin?
A. The pr harvest f silkwrm silk.
B.The lw quality f spider silk.
C.The absence f silkwrm data.
D. The insufficient supply f spider silk.
30. Hw did Lin’s team make the silk fiber strng?
A. By enhancing its prtein.B. By bathing it in metallic liquid.
C. By remving its cating.D.By squeezing it firmly in a tube.
31.In what aspect did Lin’s team make a breakthrugh accrding tHlland?
A. Prcessing silk in a safer silk.
C. Creating silk f superir silk scientifically.
