• 1．Coding（编码） apps and programming apps for kids are becoming increasingly popular.Here are some of the best apps for teaching kids to code.
     Scratch
     Scratch is by far the most popular coding app for kids，and it is now used in many schools all over the world.It is available for free on the web as well as for Android and iOS，which is why it is so popular.Created in 2003 by MIT students and staff，its coding language is designed for children aged 7 to 16.
     The language employs visual blocks or bricks that can be dragged and dropped on a workspace to construct logical chains.As a result，the child will have a better understanding of the fundamental principles of coding.
     Daisy the Dinosaur
     Daisy the Dinosaur is a free iPad and iPhone programming app.What distinguishes it from the rest is that it is designed specifically for children aged4 to 7.The app was developed by the same team that created the Hopscotch coding app for kids.If you've ever used that app，Daisy the Dinosaur has a similar user -friendly interface with limited features that is best for beginners.
     Cargo-Bot
     Cargo-Bot is a free coding app that is available for both Android and iOS devices.It is appropriate for children aged 10 and up.This app specialises in puzzle challenges involving a robotic arm that must be programmed to perform various tasks，most notably moving coloured boxes to create a specific design or pattern.
     Kodable
     Another relatively well-known coding app for kids is Kodable.It is free for both the iPhone and iPad，but there is no option for Android or the web.Kodable is appropriate for both younger children and older teenagers （from 8 years old and up）.It is also remarkable for guiding users from a basic to a complex level of coding.
     The approach is very game-like，with users able to select a character to guide them through the levels.

• 3．Recently，scientists have studied the full genetic（ 基因的） information of more than 18，000 cancer samples（样本）.Their study is not the first to do such a complete genetic study of cancer samples.But no one has ever used such a large sample size.Researchers were able to study such a large number because of the improvements in technology.
     Over 12，000 samples in the study came from patients gathered by Britain's National Health Service.They were part of a project to study whole genomes from people with common cancers and rare diseases.The rest of the data came from existing cancer data sets.For the study，researchers looked at 19 different kinds of cancer in the human body.It identified 58 new pieces of evidence leading to the causes of cancer that could help doctors provide better treatment.Now doctors will have much more information to draw from when they look at individual cancers.
     Andrew Futreal，a genomic expert at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston，said the study gave scientists some knowledge of the destructive forces that cause cancer.Some arise because of problems within a person's cells（细胞）；others are caused by tobacco smoke or chemicals and so on.It also shows doctors what will probably happen over time when a patient develops a cancer with a certain gene changing pattern，and help doctors give earlier treatment and hopefully stop the developing disease.
     To help doctors use the new information，researchers have developed a computer program that will let them find common gene changing patterns and seek out unusual ones.By this way，doctors could suggest a treatment based on a special pattern.
  
  （1）How did scientists conduct the study？

  
  A．By making observation.
  B．By analyzing data.
  C．By asking questions.
  D．By doing lab experiments.

  C．There are physical and environmental causes of cancer.
  D．There's no hope for doctors to stop a cancer developing.
  （3）What is the best title for the text？

  
  A．Various Reasons for Cancer
  B．Fast Development of Technology
  C．Computers Are Key to Medical Research
  D．A Study of Genes Contributes to Cancer Treatment
  （4）Where does this text probably come from？

  
  A．A health magazine.
  B．A chemistry paper.
  C．A novel.
  D．A history book.
