1．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Cool Inventions
For Light Sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night，which is why LightSleeper was created.
Developed in the United Kingdom，LightSleeper's makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
LightSleeper works by projecting （投射） a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down.The idea is to watch the light，because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.
One of the advantages of the product is that it won't disturb other people in the room.The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.
Stop the Snoring （打鼾）
Here's a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring.The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you're snoring.Once it does that，it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist.This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring.The Snore Stopper won't cause any damage to your body.
Get Your True Colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring on screen to use as a color in your program.Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.
The Color Picker is a concept pen.After placing the pen against an object，the user just presses the scan button.Color sensors （感应器） inside the pen send information to a box，which then mixes red，green and blue to produce the desired ink color.
Keep It Fresh
More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen.A new Bagel dome （圆顶形物） advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time.The product，which is able to remove air，works for bread rolls，cakes and other perishables.To use it，you just push a button at the top.

3．Researchers at the University of Scotland have discovered a protein that can influence viruses developing and even can control cancer．Now the fight is on to fully understand how it works in the hope of turning the laboratory research into a treatment．
The protein is called Hira．Technically it is a histone（组蛋白）complex，but it is easier to understand in terms of what it can do．Three years ago Dr Taranjit Singh Rai and colleagues at the Beatson Cancer Institute and Glasgow University reported that Hira could possibly suppress the division of cells that causes cancer．In the course of that research，Dr Rai found out something unusual．In the lab they have established that the Hira protein has a role to play in the anti-viral fight，thus，making it have a fundamental role to play in fighting against cancer．
The trick in using it to fight diseases may lie in increasing Hira levels in our cells． "I think what researchers might be interested in is how we can increase levels of this protein to deal with the viruses better，" Dr Rai said．
Dr Rai has led an international study and support has come from Cancer Research UK and the results are published in the journal Nucleic Acids Research．But there is a major concern that the research is still limited to the laboratory．
It is going to take some time，probably years，before this work can move out of the lab and into clinics and hospitals．But the researchers are excited Hira will one day be the basis of a new approach in medicine．

D．Hira can bring about side effects．
（3）What is the researchers' attitude to the future of Hira？
A．Cautious．
B．Optimistic．
C．Disapproving．
D．Doubtful．
（4）What's the text mainly about？
A．A new way to use the protein．
