301．One afternoon，after finishing shopping in a supermarket，my family and I went to the checkout.I suddenly thought we didn't need any of the junk，and we abandoned all of those，saving ＄300.
That got me thinking about all our pointless expenses in life.With a promise that we'd stop if it was killing us，I convinced the family to take the leap into frugality（節(jié)儉）.The rules were that we would buy nothing for 30 days except absolutely essentials.
Our adventure began with a great start.By 9 a.m.，my wife，Ruth，had already made cakes from old strawberries and picked flowers I didn't even know we had in the garden.I cleared the car by hand for the first time for years.I read and returned the neighbor's newspaper before he woke up.Total spending on the first day：＄0.
As days turned into weeks，we became so proficient at living frugally.We started riding our bikes to save gas.My child's finger painting was recycled as gift wrap for the homemade presents.We started to use an Internet application like Skype for free phone calls and ask neighbors with gardens for extra vegetables and herbs.
In the end，we saved more than ＄2000 by not spending for a month.When we began，I imagined we would rush out the moment we were done and buy a lot of things in the supermarket，then maybe hit the mall or go to the movies.

It is not the first time that experts have claimed the techniques could help develop fruit with unusual features：scientists have already been looking at changing the color of kiwi fruit and bettering the taste of strawberries.
But researchers in Brazil and Ireland say such methods could also offer practical advantages，with hot tomatoes offering a new way of harvesting the pungent （辣味的） chemicals found in peppers known as capsaicinoids （辣椒素），which make food taste "hot".
"Capsaicinoids are very valuable compounds （化合物）：they are used in the weapons industry，they are also used for painkillers.jye.ai there are some researches showing that they promote weight loss，" said Agustin Zs?g?n from the Federal University of Vi?os a in Brazil，a co-author of a new article arguing for the benefits of engineering hot tomatoes.
Writing in the journal Trends in Plant Science，the researchers say peppers are difficult crops to grow and low productive.Worse still，it is tricky to keep the pungency of the fruits stable.By contrast，tomato production is high and the plant is well-studied. "You could produce the capsaicinoids in a more cost-effective manner，" said Zs?g?n.
Tomatoes and peppers developed from a common ancestor，but separated about 19 million years ago. "All these genes to produce capsaicinoids exist in the tomato，they are just not active，" said Zs?g?n . "Using gene-editing technology，it is bound to switch these genes back on in tomatoes，adding a kick to the fruit"，he said.
（1）Why are the tomatoes made hot by the researchers？
A．To test the gene-editing technology.
B．To enrich the variety of the tomatoes.
C．To make the tomatoes more delicious.
D．To explore ways to harvest capsaicinoids.
（2）In which of the following situations can capsaicinoids be used according to the text？
A．Feeling weightless.
B．Lacking sleep.
C．Having a headache.
D．Losing appetite.
（3）What is Zs?g?n's attitude to the gene-editing technology？
A．Unacceptable.
B．Uncertain.
C．Tolerant.
D．Confident.
（4）What's the text mainly about？
A．An introduction to gene-editing plants.
B．Creating hot tomatoes by gene-editing.
C．Problems with capsaicinoid production.
D．The procedure of producing capsaicinoids.發(fā)布：2025/1/1 17:0:1組卷：5引用：2難度：0.5305． It's strange how one tiny zipper tooth can create such big problems—and such amazing resolutions.
It was Jo Du's wedding day in Ontario，Canada when the dress's zipperbroke.While everyone was struggling for some kind of tools，some of the guests walked next door to the house of Jo's neighbor David Hobson.
When they returned，they came bearing interesting news：David had taken in a family of Syrian refugees，the father of which was a master tailor who said he would be happy to help.With toolbox in hand，Ibrahim Dudu walked over and mended Jo's dress in front of an amazed wedding party.
The photographer，Lindsay Coulter，was there to witness the whole thing. "Every weekend I take photos of people on the happiest days of their lives，and today one man who has seen some of the worst things our world has to offer came to the help，" Lindsay wrote on Facebook. "I am so proud to live in Canada，a country who has opened our doors to refugees countless times.I respect the families who have welcomed these strangers in to their homes and lives，and I'm inspired by the adapt ability of the Syrian people.We are truly blessed."
The meeting was important since Jo and her husband Earl are both immigrants themselves.

These tiny ants are amazjye.aig.In the Sahara desert，where most creatures avoid going out in the middle of the day to avoid high temperatures，the Saharan silver ants have evolved（進化）a number of adaptations to do just that.Scientists have discovered that several unique features of the Saharan silver ants permit them to grow well in a scorching climate.
These ants have longer legs than other ants，which keep their bodies critically greater distance away from the hot desert sand.The ants run 108 times the length of their own bodies every second at a speed of just over 3 kph.And they keep track of the position of the sun，so that they always know the most direct route back to the nest，thus lowering their time spent in extreme heat.Their bodies produce proteins that resist heat.Some other creatures produce such proteins after they come in contact with extreme heat.But since the silver ants only exit the nest for a few minutes at a time - not long enough for the protein to take effect - they produce the protein while still in the nest before they go out，or they would die before the protein could take effect.
Researchers also discovered that the ants are covered on their tops and sides with the uniquely triangular（三角的）shape of the silver hairs，which enable them to dissipate（消散）heat.The hairs help an ant's body exchange its heat to a cooler area，even under full sun conditions.This discovery inspired the scientists，for it could lead to new materials and paints that can be applied to rooftops or cars to keep them cool.And it is also expected to be applied in clinical care，wearable devices，protective clothing and other fields.

A．extremely chilly

B．The Saharan silver ants are born with the ability to track the moon.
C．The Saharan silver ants' adaptations to the desert are to be discovered.
D．Inspiration from the Saharan silver ants will bring up more new inventions.
（3）When do the Saharan silver ants produce the protein that resists heat？
A．After coming in contact with extreme heat.
B．Before traveling in the sun.
C．While running under full sun condition.
D．After coming back to the nest from outside.
（4）What would be the best title for the text？
A．Small Ants Make a Big Difference
B．Small Ants Hunt for Food Easily
C．Small Ants Survive in the Saharan Desert
D．Small Ants Jump the Fastest in the World發(fā)布：2025/1/1 16:30:1組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5307．Encourage your child in his interests and hobbies _______ they're things that you know little about.（ ?。?/h2>
