B “This is your last chance,” warned Mrs Gillfeather. I broke out in a sweat and my hands started to shake. We both wanted to get to sleep, but before we could, I had to put a cannuta(针管）in her arm. Before becoming a doctor I'd only a vague idea what a cannula was, coming from an hour spent with a plastic arm while at medical school. Once I became a doctor, however, I couldn't seem to get away from them. For those of you who are lucky enough to have never come into contact with one, they're tmy Mtle rubes that are put into a vein(静脉）so that fluid or medicines can go directly into the blood. That's the theory. Unfortunately, the problem is that for them to work, you have to get them into the vein in the first place This tends to be trickier than you'd imagine- and it's a job that tends to fall on the junior doctors. Mrs GiJifeather's veins were particularly elusive that evening. I'd been jabbing the needle in for least 20 minutes. “Isn't there someone else who could do this?” she asked, for the fourth time. “Someone who knows what they're doing, perhaps,- she said under her breath, just loud enough for me to hear. Finally, I got it in. Mrs. Gillfeather and I both breathed a sigh of relief. Just as I was about to leave the ward, the nurse called me over, "Max, there’s another cannula to d0 on bed 16. ” 25.

Armstrong got out of the spacecraft Apollo 11，touched the ground of the moon and said, “That’s one small step for man，one giant leap for mankind.” A conspiracy(阴谋）theory has existed since the night of his lunar landing. Armstrong's achievements were considered amazing，but people wondered if it really happened. Many people believe that the scene on the moon wasn’t real. Rumours spread throughout coffee shops, street comers, and newspapers, but it soon died down. But theories resurfaced in 2001. Suspicion began when an American television network aired a program called Conspiracy Theory: Did We Land on the Moon7 The show argued that NASA did not have the money for such a voyage, and that the whole scene was probably filmed in a movie studio. Many critics say that there were no stars in the background during the lunar landing，so it must have been a fake. They also point out that the American flag that was posted was waving. How could that be if there is no wind on the moon? NASA(NationaI Aeronautics and Space Administration) has denied these rumours many times. They explained that now photographers can capture the brightness of the astronauts with the dimness of the stars behind them. Also, they said that the flag was waving because the astronauts were pulling it back and forth trying to get it deeper into the rock. NASA also points out that the television program fails to mention that Armstrong and his team brought back 800 pounds of rock from the moon. Neil Armstrong is seen as a national icon in the US and his lunar landing is - 5 - one of the most historic events in the country's history. But either way, this conspiracy theory still exists today, 29. What didn't the TV program Did We Land on the Moon? mention? A.money B. stars C.the flag D.rocks 30. How did NASA react to the rumo?

A Denver-based doctor father -is leading the effort. Tim Famum is the founder of a group called 'Parents Against Underage Smartphones His propesal would ban sales of smartphones to children under the age of 13. It would also ban sales to anyone who wishes to buy such a device for anyone younger than 13.The measure would also require sellers of smartphones to provide proof to the state government that they have asked buyers if the phone is for anypne under 13. The measure now needs about 300,000 signatures in toappear on Colorado's statewide ballot (投票权）next year. If it makes the ballot and is approved by voters, Colorado's would become the first state to have such a ban.

State Senator John Kefalas, a Democrat, said he understands the reasoning behind the proposed law. However, he told The Coloradoan that a child’s smartphone usage - 6 - is a "family matter and not something the government should decide. “Ultimately, this comes down to parenting,” he said,“making sure their kids are not putting themselves at risk.” Last year，the AAP (the American Academy of Pediatrics) released guidelines for media use by children. The group advised parents to limit time spent watching videos to no more than one hour a day of high-quality programming until age 6. After that, it said, parents should set reasonable time limits for their children and make sure electronic devices do not take time away from sleep or exercise. 32.

Positive B.Doubtful C.Disapproving D. Unconcerned 35. From the last paragraph, we can infer that . A. children under 6 shouldnft watch videos B. parents are to blame for children's media use.
