Free Haircuts on a Red Chair
Last summer, Katie Steller was on her way to work. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man, in his
60s,looking out of luck, was sitting alone. She rolled down her window.
“Hey!” she shouted.“ I’m driving around giving free haircuts. Do you want one right now?”
The man, missing a few teeth, paused and laughed. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral(葬礼)to go to this
week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”
Then, Steller unloaded a red chair from the car. The man,named Edward, took a seat.As Steller was cutting his
curly graying hair,he told her about growing up in Mississippi,about moving to Minnesota,and how he still talked to
his mom over phone every day.
To date,Steller has given 30 or so such haircuts to people around the city.They are all living on the
margins,and she is aware of the power of her work.
“It’s more than a haircut,”she says.“I want it to be a gateway,to show value and respect,but also to get to know
people.”
Steller knows that a haircut can change a life.One changed hers:As a teenshe suffered from ulcerative
colitis(溃疡性结肠炎)that was so serious,her hair thinned severely.Seeing this,her mother arranged for Steller’s
first professional haircut.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness,it helped me
feel cared about and less alone,”she says.
After that,Steller knew she wanted to have her own hair salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt
that day.Not long after finishing cosmetology school(美容学校)in 2016,she realized her dream.Two years later,she
began what she now calls her Red Chair Project,reaching out to people on the streets.
Steller said,“I can’t fix their problems,but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”Steller listens
to people’s stories of loss,addiction,and struggle to get back on their feet.
An offshoot of the Red Chair Project is the Steller Kindness Project,in which people who commit acts of
kindness are invited for a free makeover(美容)at Steller’s salon.In exchange,they tell their stories,which Steller
shares on her website.Her hope is that by reading about kind acts,others will be inspired to do their own.
So far,it’s working.“You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give to
them,”says Steller.
24. Edward agreed to have a haircut by Steller because________.
A. he wanted to talk with Steller about his life
B. he wanted to look good for a special occasion
C. he was too old to go to a hair salon by himself
D. he was just waiting for a free haircut on the street
25. In paragraph 5,the underlined words“living on the margins”can probably be replaced by________.
A. living with little care and attention
B. living far from downtown areas
C. living with serious illnesses
D. living in untidy conditions
26. What made Steller want to set up her own salon?
A. Her excellent haircut skills.
B. Her mother’s encouragement.
C. Her experience of a formal haircut.
D. Her dream to offer people free haircuts.
27. What’s the purpose of Steller Kindness Project?
A. To make contributions to charity.
B. To encourage people to spread kindness.
C. To reward kind people with free makeovers.
D. To collect moving stories for Steller’s website.

That is the conclusion of a study that looked at how well so-called polygenic scores for education predict a person’s
educational achievements, based on a long-term study of thousands of people in the UK. “Some people with a very
low genetic score are very high performers at age 16. Some are even in the top 3 percent,” says Tim Morris at the
University of Bristol, UK.
And while Morris expects the accuracy of polygenic scores for educational achievements to improve, he
doesn’t think they will ever be good enough to predict how well an individual will do. Even relatively simple
qualities such as height are influenced by thousands of genetic variants, each of which may only have a tiny effect.
It has been claimed that polygenic scores can be used to make useful predictions, such as a person’s likelihood of
developing various diseases. One company is even offering embryo screening (screening of an unborn baby in the
very stages of development) based on polygenic scores for disease risk.
Some researchers - notably Robert Plomin of King’s College London - think that schools should start using
polygenic scores for educational achievement. In most cases, the scores may reflect qualities such as persistence as
well as intelligence.
To assess the usefulness of polygenic scores in education, Morris and his colleagues calculated them for 8,000
people in Bristol who are part of a long-term study known as the Children of the 90s. The participants’ genomes
have been queued and their academic results are available to researchers. Among other things, the team found a
correlation of 0.4 between a person’s polygenic score and their exam results at age 16. But there would need to be a
correlation of at least 0.8 to make useful predictions about individuals, says Morris.
Plomin, however, argues that the results support his opinion. “A correlation of 0.4 makes it the strongest
polygenic predictor in the behavioural sciences,” says Plomin. “It’s so much stronger than a lot of other things we
base decisions on. So it’s a very big finding.”
Morris says schools already have access to other predictors that are more accurate, such as a pupil’s earlier test
results. Looking at parents’ educational achievements is also a better predictor of a pupil’s academic results than
studying their genome, his results show. Providing teachers with an extra predictor based on genetics would just
confuse matters, says Morris, and the cost cannot be justified.
28. In paragraph 2, Morris talks about “height” in order to tell readers that _____.
A. some qualities are hardly affected by any genetic variants
B. some qualities are influenced by thousands of genetic variants
C. genetic scores are useful in predicting one’s potential diseases
D. genetic scores can help children improve their scores at school
29 How did Morris prove the effect of polygenetic scores in education?
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂A. By providing opposite examples. B. By explaining how the genome works.
C. By listing findings from another scientist. D. By presenting facts and data from research.
30. According to Plomin, a correlation of 0.4 is reliable because it is _____.
A. useful in telling you how intelligent and persistent children are
B. useful in predicting people who might struggle academically
C. stronger compared to other factors in behavioural sciences
D. strongly correlated to children’s academic achievements
31. Morris suggested that schools should _____.
A. study every pupil’s genomes
B. spend some money on genetic tests
C. know about parents’ educational achievements
D. provide teachers with students’ genetic information
D
Many college students turn to ADHD（注意缺陷障碍）medicine during the exam week, which is regarded
as “smart drugs” that will help their academic（学术的）performance. The thinking is that if the drugs help
students with ADHD improve their focus, they should provide the same benefit for people who don’t have the
disorder.
But a new study shows that drugs can actually damage brain function of healthy students who take the drug
hoping to boost their intelligence. “It’s not a smart drug which will suddenly improve their ability to understand
information they read,” said Lisa Weyandt, a professor at the University of Rhode Island.
To test whether this effect is real or not, researchers organized 13 students to take part in two five-hour study
sessions（一段时间）in the lab. The students took the standard 30mg ADHD drugs before one session, and a
sugar pill before the other. Students on ADHD drugs did experience an increase in their blood pressure and heart
rates. “The medicine was having an effect on their brain,” Weyandt said. The students also showed an improvement
in their ability to focus, the researchers found.
However, students on ADHD drugs experienced no improvement in reading comprehension, reading fluency
or knowledge reviews, compared to when they’d taken a sugar pill. “We read aloud stories to them and asked them
to recall information from the stories, ”she said. “That didn’t improve.”
Worse, the ADHD drug actually harms students’ memory. It’s often misused because people pull all-nighters
and they’re tired, and they think it’s going to keep them awake. Maybe it does, but it’s certainly not going to help
their academic work. The brain is still developing until the mid to late 20s. It’s important to keep it healthy. There’s
also a chance that ADHD drugs could endanger a student’s heart health.

为 150 左右。
A. J. shut the door of the truck. “Ready,” he said. His dad started the truck. It was six o’clock and freezing,
but the strong morning sun promised warmer temperatures. It had been colder than normal over the past week,
and the ground and ponds were already frozen.
“After we check on the cows,” Dad said, “you should have some time to practice roping cattle.” A. J. wanted
to enter the rodeos (牛仔竞技表演) in which cowboys rode wild horses, and caught cattle with ropes.
The best professionals could break from the gate on horseback, rope a calf (小牛), and hog-tie (捆绑) the
calf (牛犊) in less than ten seconds. So far, A.J. needed nearly a minute and a half, but he’d only been at it for a
few months.
The truck bounced down the dirt road. In a few minutes, they passed through the field gate.
A. J. pulled a pair of telescopes (望远镜). The black spots of cows on the far hill took shape. The cows
gathered around the pond. A. J. guessed they wanted the water locked under the ice. Suddenly, they heard
extremely frightened shouts from one cow. Dad stopped the truck, and he and A. J. stared at the frozen pond
anxiously.
A calf lay on the ice in the middle of the pond. A cow, no doubt the calf’s mother, stood onshore, shouting
desperately. The calf struggled to get up but slipped and fell each time.
The morning sun seemed warmer. Too warmer. A. J. knew that the situation was urgent. If the calf lay there
too long, she could fall through the ice and drown. Dad eased the truck down the hill and stopped at the edge of
the pond. “No telling how long she’s been there,” he said. “The ice could be about to melt. I don’t think we can
risk it.” Dad shook his head, “It’s just not safe.”
