根据以下材料，回答Hair loss can be destructive for themillions of men and women who experience it. Now scientists are reporting thata substance from honeybee hives might contain clues for developing a potentialnew therapy. They found that the material, called propolis, encouraged hairgrowth in mice. The study appears in A CS′ Journal of Agricultural and FoodChemistry. Ken Kobayashi and colleagues note that propolis is a resin-likematerial that honeybees use to seal small gaps in their hives. Not only does itwork as a physical barrier, but it also contains active compounds that fightfungal and bacterial invasions. People from ancient times had noticed propolis′special properties and used it to treat tumors, inflammation and wounds. Morerecently, research has shown that the substance promotes the growth of certaincells involved in hair growth though no one had yet tested whether that in turnwould result in new locks. Kobayashi ′ s team wanted to find out.When the researchers tested propolis onmice that had been shaved or waxed, the mice that received the treatment regrewtheir fur faster than those that didn′t. The scientists also noticed that afterthe topical application, the number of special cells involved in the process ofgrowing hair increased. Although they tried the material on mice that couldgrow fur rather than balding mice, the researchers note that hair lossconditions often result from abnormal inflammation. Propolis contains anti-inflammatorycompounds, so they expert it could help treat balding conditions.They add that further testing is needed tosee if the beehive material affects human hair follicles.The underline sentence in thefirst paragraph means ___________.
A.hair loss can't be repairedB.hair cut can be harmfulC.everyone must experience hair lossD.baldness can be ruinous for the victims

根据以下材料，回答There are two types of people in thisworld: those who regularly wash their office coffee cup. And those who only takeit off their desk to cover up the coffee mark at the bottom with a fresh pour, drivingaway their shame with the reasoning that the heat must kill the bacteria orspine thing.Depending on which type of person you are,this will be either mildly annoying or more-than-mildly exciting. As HeidiMitchell wrote in a recent Wall Street Journal column, it′ s fine to never washyour cup, as long as you′ re not sharing it with anybody else.There are two warnings to that statement,infectious-disease expert Jeffrey Strake, a professor at Baylor College ofMedicine, told Mitchell; One, it only applies if you′re not sharing the cupwith anybody else. And two, if you leave cream or sugar in your cup over theweekend, that can certainly cause mold(霉) to grow--in which case, wash it out.Otherwise, though, there′s not really muchto worry about. "If I went and cultured the average unwashed coffee cup,of course I would find bacteria." Starke said. "But remember the vastmajority came from the person who used the cup." Even if you drink from itwhile sick, it′s pretty hard to re-infect yourself with the same cup; mostviruses don′t live long outside the body, which means that just letting yourcup live in its own dirt may be a safer bet than the alternative; cleaning it withthe disgusting sponge (海绵) in theoffice kitchen "The sponge in the break room probably has the highestbacteria count of anything in the office." Starke said if the idea of notwashing horrifies you, just stick the sponge in the microwave before using.Otherwise, though, reel free to continue your lazy ways without guilt.Where does the passage probably comefrom?
A.A travel brochure. B.A science magazine.C.An official statement. D.An entertainment program.

根据以下材料，回答People do not analyze every problem theymeet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had asimilar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Othertimes they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trialand error. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem hasto start analyzing. There are six stages in analyzing a problem.First the person must recognize that thereis a problem. For example, Sam′s bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it toclass as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with hisbicycle.Next the thinker must define the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does notwork. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, thebrakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific.Now the person must look for informationthat will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. Forinstance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is somethingwrong with the gear wheels. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repairbook and read about gears. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He canlook at his gears carefully.After studying the problem, the personshould have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as anillustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy newgear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimesthe final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees somethingnew or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that thereis a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes thesolution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.Finally the solution is tested. Sam cleansthe gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. Inshort, he has solved the problem. The author intends to say that Samsolved his problem as a result of___________.
A.discovering something newB.using chewing gumC.looking at the bicycle in the new wayD.turning to others' help
