13、r the parents. 6tHow in the world are we going to pay for college?,It's true that going to university abroad is a very expensive option. Tuition is much higher than at Chinese universities, and then there are the expenses for room and board.Tuition at Harvard this year is around $46, 000 (¥

14、318,700), but when you include student service fees, room, and board, that figure jumps to over S65, 000 a year.Schools outside the US are a little bit less expensive on average, but they can still empty your wallet. Tuition at Oxford University is at least ¥136, 500. The cost of Australia'

15、s University of Melbourne varies a great deal depending on the discipline, but tuition alone will likely set students back ¥148, 500 a year.These numbers can be really shocking, but don't worry. Most universities have systems in place to help students pay for their education.The first thing

16、 you should look into is whether or not you are fit for financial aid. While some universities don't allow international students to apply for aid, many make no distinction.While most financial aid is “need -based”，meaning that you have to demonstrate that your parents cannot afford to pay the f

22、 years ago, Peter Harrison, a marine ecologist witnessed the first recorded large - scale coral bleaching （珊瑚白化）event. Diving in the Great Barrier Reef （大堡礁），he was shocked by the scene before him. "The reef was made up of healthy corals and badly bleached white corals, like the beginning of a

23、ghost city,” he says. Just months before, the same site was filled with colorful tropical life.“Many of the hundreds of corals that had been carefully labelled and monitored finally died," he says. Tt was shocking and made me aware of just how weak these corals really are."Coral exists tog

24、ether with photosynthetic algae （藻類）,which live in its tissues and provide essential nutrition （and coloration）. But high temperatures and other stresses can turn algae poisonous. When this occurs, the algae may die or be removed by the coral, a process known as bleaching because the coral's cle

25、ar tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton （碳酸鈣骨骼）are exposed. If the coral can't reestablish its link with algae, it will starve or become ill.The widespread destruction Harrison saw in 1982 was repeated on many other Pacific Ocean reefs that year and the next. In 1997 and 1998 the phenomen

26、on went global, killing some 16 percent of the world's corals. With rising temperatures, pollution, disease, increased ocean acidity, invasive species and other dangers, Hairison's ghost cities are expanding.Scientists suppose that about four decades ago severe bleaching occurred roughly eve

27、ry 25 years, giving corals time to recover. But bleaching events are coming faster now一about every six years一and in some places soon they could begin to happen annually."The absolute key is dealing with global warming,” says marine biologist Terry Hughes. "No matter how much we clean up th

The severest coral bleaching occurred about four decades ago.DA research team led by Chunshui Yu and Mulin Jun Li of Tianjin Medical University has discovered two new genes potentially involved in Alzhei

32、mer's disease. They identified them by exploring which genes were turned on and off in the hippocampus （海馬體）of people who suffered from the dis-ease. The team, s new findings are published on February 25th in PLOS Genetics.Alzheimer's disease is a type of brain disorder that causes problems

33、with memory, thinking and behavior. This is a gradually progressive condition. The hippocampus, part of the brain involved in memory, is one of the first regions to sustain damage. To better understand which genes contribute to the progression of this heritable （可遺4專的） disease, the researchers ident

34、ified genes expressed at higher or lower levels in the hippocampus of people with Alzheimer's disease compared to healthy brains. They identified 24 Alzheimer's - related genes that appear to have an effect through the hippocampus, using previous genomicand hippocampus gene expression data.

35、Many genes were already known to contribute to the disease, such as APOE, but two were unknown, PTPN9 and PCDHA4. Additionally, several are involved in biological process related to Alzheimer's disease, such as cell death.The research team further validated their findings by comparing gene expre

37、hippocampus of Alzheimer's disease.Overall, the new findings improve our understanding of the genetic and cellular mechanisms （機制）that cause Alzheimer's disease. The next step will be to investigate the roles of the two novel genes and how they contribute to this harmful disease.32. How did

38、the research team find the two genes related to Alzheimer's disease?A. By closing the hippocampus of people.B. By exploring the switch state of the genes.C. By turning on and off the genes of the patient.D. By discovering genes in the hippocampus of people.33. What does the underlined word “vali

There is no way to measure its size.C. It results in damage and loss of neurons. D. It helps to identify Alzheime
