Glioblastoma limited my ability to walk, and the treatment left me tired, making it hard fbr me to accomplish everyday tasks.

20、To do this, teachers and actually everyone else in a community, should play a role as a “cognitive（认知）coach” to students, helping develop good thinkers among our youth.The best way fbr you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents in meaningful conversatio
21、ns. The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. It may be in a classroom. It may be at the grocery store. It may be at a basketball game. It doesnt matter where as long as you engage students in a topi
22、cal conversation and, hopefully, even a debate. Mainly, you want to encourage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on “Ihis thing, or that thing,and ask them to support their position with evidence. Curiously enough, the simple process of engaging students in rea
23、l life conversations and debates will serve to strengthen what they have learned in the classroom, and help them create their own knowledge about a subject or a topic.Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall the information. Knowledge,
24、on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processing, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally, the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your leamers will differ fiom student to student, and in the level
25、 of complexity based on childs age and developmental level. Even a kindergartener has an opinion about things that arc going on in his or her life.

30、ty to use tools is rare in the animal world. Recently, ravens（渡鸭）have been proven capable of more than just using tools.According to a paper published in Current Biology in April, 2023, scientists designed various tasks fbr a group of ravens. The first task was getting a nut out of a puzzle box, req
31、uiring two tools: first a short, sharp tool used to cut the membrane （薄膜），then a long stick to gel the nut out of a hole, Five out of 10 ravens were able to reach the nut.In the following tasks, the ravens were observed picking up tools before doing the task, showing their ability to plan ahead. Res
32、earchers also noticed that each raven had a different way of carrying and using the tools.Using a set of tools means that the animal can “solve problems through flexibly applying some insight of a given situation,M Mark Briffa at the University of Plymouth, UK, told CNN.The great intelligence of rav

Common signs of stress and anxiety include biting and feather picking, according to the PetMD website. Biting is often regarded as a fbmi of attack, but som
34、etimes ravens bite others due to stress and fear. Feather picking can be a more serious sign that the raven is unhappy. In extreme conditions, a raven may pluck（拔）out all of its feathers.Some other pets show similar troubling behaviors too. For example, according to Discover magazine, pet dogs may c

As scientists learn more about animal intelligence, we should keep in mind that they may suffer from psychological illnesses just like we do.8. What was the first task?A. Picking up a nu

39、ound. When these become damaged, either by genetic disorders, loud sounds or old age, it can lead to hearing difficulties and even deafness.Now, in a series of experiments on mice, researchers based at the Salk Institute fbr Biological Studies and the University of Sheffield have identified a protei
40、n that can be delivered to these hair cells in order to stimulate their growth. 44Our discovery shows that hair cell function can be restored in certain cells,“ said Dr Uri Manor, assistant research professor and director of the Waitt Advanced Biophotonics Core at Salk.Stereocilia hair cells are fou
41、nd throughout the cochlea（耳蜗）.Regions of the cochlea that sense low frequencies have longer stcrcocilia, while regions that sense high frequencies have shorter stereocilia. When sounds enter the ear, they cause fluid within the cochlea to vibrate（振动）,which in turn causes the stcrcocilia to move. The
42、se hair cells then send signals to neurons（神经元）,which pass on information about the sounds that we arc hearing to the brain.In their previous studies, Manor and Prof Walter Marotti found that the protein EPS8 was involved in determining the length of stereocilia. Without the protein, the growth of t
43、he hairs is stunted and they remain very short. For this latest study, the two researchers teamed up to design an experiment to see if adding EPS8 to stereocilia hair cells could stimulate their regrowth and improve hearing in mic. They used a common gene therapy（基因治 疗）technique to deliver the prote
44、in to the hair cells on the back of a virus. They then investigated the effects using imaging techniques.The team found that EPS8 increased the length of the stereocilia and restored their function in low-frcqucncy cells, although not enough to restore the hearing of the mice. However, they also fou
45、nd that the cells seemed to lose their ability to regenerate as they aged. The researchers now plan to investigate the action of EPSS further, with the hope of extending the age range over which it is eflective.12. What is the authors purpose in writing paragraphs I and 2?A. To reveal causes of hear
