Some in a tablet can make your headache go away. Others from a tube can prevent your cuts from becoming infected. But can medicine come packaged in chicken eggs?‎ A team of scientists from Scotland say yes. They're engineered special chickens ________ with diseasetreating drugs inside. These drugs are made of molecules (分子)called proteins. Animals make thousands of proteins—they're the main ingredients in skin, hair, milk，and meat. Since animals can make proteins easily，they can also make protein drugs. ‎ Researchers have already made cows, sheep, and goats produce protein drugs in their milk. But chickens are cheaper to take care of, need less room，and grow faster than other animals. A team of researchers changed chickens' DNA—the code that tells cells how to make proteins—so that the birds' cells made two protein drugs. One drug can treat skin cancer，and the other treats a nerved disease.‎ The scientists changed the chickens' DNA so that the birds made these drugs only in their egg ‎ whites.

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.‎ Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.‎ For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙)．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc.In general the person feels excited and ready to act.‎ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.‎ Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”‎ Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.‎ ‎1. What's the author's purpose by writing this passage?

But recent data has indeed shown cognitive (认知的) ability to be higher in ‎ some countries than in others. What's more, IQ scores have risen as nations develop—a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect”. Many causes have been put forward for both the intelligence difference and the Flynn effect, including education, income, and even nonagricultural labor. Now, a new study from researchers at the University‎ of ‎New Mexico offers another interesting theory: intelligence may be linked to infectiousdisease rates.‎ ‎[2]The brain, say author Christopher Eppig and his colleagues, is the “most costly organ in the human body”. Brainpower consumes almost up to 90 percent of a newborn's energy. It's clear that if something affects energy intake while the brain is growing, the impact could be long and serious. And for vast parts of the globe, the biggest threat to a child's body—and therefore brain—is parasitic (由寄生虫引起的) infection. These illnesses threaten brain development ________. They can directly attack live tissue, which the body must then try every means to replace. They can invade the digestive pipe and block nutritional intake. They can rob the body's cells for their own reproduction. And then there's the energy channeled (输送) to the immune system to fight the infection. ‎ ‎[3]Using data on national “disease burdens” (life years lost due to infectious diseases) and average intelligence scores, the authors found they are closely associated.

In the past women often were told “You can't have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can't expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children—what's all this about wanting a career？” But today women need to ________， if they are to feel good about themselves.‎ Our study shows that, for women, wellbeing has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes selfrespect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is made up of happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa(反之亦然). For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.‎ The concepts of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of wellbeing for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all wellbeing. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women were valued significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed.‎ A woman's wellbeing is developed when she takes on multiple roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles—marriages, motherhood, and employment—were the highest in wellbeing, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.‎ ‎1．What is the best title for the passage?
