TV: The Crown (Season Six)
Netflix, November 16.
The final season of The Crown is being divided into two parts, with four episodes on show before Thanksgiving and the remaining six landing on December 14. And, yes, those initial episodes will address the death of Princess Diana, played by Elizabeth Debicki, a talented Australian actress.
OPERA: Later the Same Evening
Juilliard Opera presents. Peter Jay Sharp Theater, November 12, 15, and 17.
Composer John Musto and play writer Mark Campbell turned those moody scenes into a one-act opera that’s become a student favorite but rarely gets seen on a greater stage. It would be a once in a life time chance to have a feast for eyes.
MOVIES: Fallen Leaves
In theaters, November 17.
Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki, a master of deadpan, returns with what might be his most romantic film so far — an unexpected meet up of an alcoholic construction worker and a headstrong supermarket employee.
MUSIC: Heaven Knows
Warner Records UK, November 10.
Pink Pantheress, 22, combines R&B, pop, and electronic music into relaxing but impactful tracks like “Do You Miss Me?” from December’s Take Me Home EP. This fall, her first complete studio-recorded album, consisting of 13 songs, will be released. Early tastes of Heaven Knows like “Capable of Love” and “Mosquito” suggest that we’re in for tighter hooks and longer, more ambitious compositions.

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a solution to two of our country’s long-lasting problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called the Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Doritos, Lay’s, and other favorites at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they sanitize the chip bags in soapy hot water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. They use padding and liners from old coats to line the insides.
It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether they’ re single-serve or family size. The result is a sleeping bag that is “waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around,” Oleita told the Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, created 110 sleeping bags.
Sure, it would be simpler to raise the money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita-whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life-and her fellow volunteers. “We are dedicated to making an impact not only socially, but environmentally,” she says.
4. What does the underlined word “sanitize” mean?| A．Clean. | B．Burn. | C．Color. | D．Dry. |
| A．It helps to shake off poverty. |
| B．It has gathered over 900,000 bags. |
| C．It was put forward by chip lovers. |
| D．It helps the poor and environment. |
| A．Because they are forbidden to litter them. |
| B．Because they happen to print things there. |
| C．Because they want to help Eradajere Oleita. |
| D．Because they can use them to trade clothes. |
| A．Chipping Away at Poverty | B．Chip Eaters Do a Big Favor |
| C．A Story about Eradajere Oleita | D．Good Ways to Save Environment |

In spite of the title, How to Grow Old, this article will really be on how not to grow old, which, at my time of life, is a much more important subject. My first advice would be to choose your ancestors carefully. Although both my parents died young, I have done well in this respect as regards my other ancestors. My maternal (母亲方面的) grandfather, it is true, died in the flower of his youth at the age of sixty-seven, but my other three grandparents all lived to be over eighty. Of remote ancestors I can only discover one who did not live to a great age, and he died of a disease which is now rare, namely, having his head cut off.
My maternal grandmother, after having nine children who survived, as soon as she became a widow, devoted herself to women’s higher education. She was the co-founders of Girton College. She used to relate how she met in Italy an elderly gentleman who was looking very sad. She inquired the cause of his sorrow and he said that he had just parted from his two grandchildren. “Good gracious,” she exclaimed, “I have seventy-two grandchildren, and if I were sad each time I parted from one of them, I should have a miserable existence!” “Madre snaturale (奇怪的母亲),” he replied.
But as one of the seventy-two, I prefer her recipe. After the age of eighty she found she had some difficulty in getting to sleep, so she habitually spent the hours from midnight to 3 a.m. in reading popular science. I do not believe that she ever had time to notice that she was growing old. This, I think, is the proper recipe for remaining young. If you have wide and keen interests and activities in which you can still be effective, you will have no reason to think about the merely statistical (统计学的) fact of the number of years you have already lived, still less of the probable shortness of your future.
8. What do we know about author’s maternal grandmother?| A．She was a strange and cruel mother. |
| B．She set up Girton College with others. |
| C．Her husband died when he was young. |
| D．She had 72 children and grandchildren. |
| A．Because she wanted to teach him a lesson. |
| B．Because she preferred cooking and talking. |
| C．Because she wanted show off her freedom. |
| D．Because she wondered why he was so sad. |
| A．To maintain wide interests and active participation. |
| B．To remember how many years you have lived so far. |
| C．To stay up reading from midnight to 3 a. m. every day. |
| D．To raise as many children as you can and cherish them. |
| A．Romantic. | B．Imaginative. | C．Humorous. | D．Ironic. |
A rare genetic skin condition has been corrected for the first time using a gene therapy that is applied to the skin.
About 1 in 800,000 children in the US are born with a severe condition called recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (不良性大疱性表皮松解症 RDEB) that makes their skin extremely weak and likely to be torn and blister (长水疱).
“It is very painful,” says Vincenzo Mascoli, 22, who travelled from Italy to the US to have the gene therapy. He had open wounds all over his body, including one covering his entire back that had been there since he was 2 years old. “Sometimes I also get blisters in my eyes and have to keep my eyes closed, and sometimes I get blisters in my throat that make it difficult to eat,” he says. Mascoli and other people with the condition have weak skin because they have an improper version of a collagen (胶原) gene called COL7A1. That means their skin can’t produce the collagen proteins needed to give it structure and strength.
Peter Marinkovich at Stanford University in California and his colleagues developed a way to insert normal COL7A1 genes into the skin of such individuals so they can start producing collagen properly. “All it does is go into the cell and deliver the gene,” says Marinkovich.
The gene therapy was then incorporated into a gel (凝胶) so it could be applied to the skin. It was tested in a late-stage clinical experiment in the US involving 31 children and adults with RDEB, including Mascoli.
The treatment was repeated weekly until the wounds closed. After three months, 71% of the wounds treated with the gene therapy had completely healed, compared with 20% of those who had the ineffective gel applied, and there were no serious side effects.
A US company called Krystal Biotech has partnered with Marinkovich and his colleagues to develop the gene therapy and will apply in the next few months for approval to make it available to more patients in the US.
12. What do we know about RDEB?| A．It is a serious skin disease on children. |

| B．It has proved highly effective on all patients. |
| C．It will be applied to patients in a larger scale. |
| D．It has positive effects on patients immediately. |
| A．A biography. | B．A course plan. |

How to Stay Safe on a Field Trip
Many parents are relaxed and even want their children to go on field trips.
Stay physically safe
It’s crucial to ensure that students memorize their parents’ phone numbers and keep them handy in case of an emergency. When crossing roads, they must practice road safety by looking both ways and walking with caution.
Keep hygiene (卫生) while dining out
Students should be mindful of their food choices and avoid having too much unhealthy food, especially when away from home. It’s essential to tell their teacher and bring allergen-free snacks if they have food allergies.
When using public restrooms on their field trips, students should use disposable seat covers or toilet paper to reduce exposure to bacteria. Practicing good restroom hygiene is also important to minimize the risk of spreading illness to others. They can also wear a mask to stay furthest away from sickness, and inform a teacher to receive proper assistance if they feel unwell.
| A．Try to avoid sickness. |
| B．Use public restrooms properly. |
| C．Others may be concerned about the safety on the trips, though. |
| D．It’s important to follow safety manners to ensure a smooth outing. |
| E．On the whole, students should maintain good cleanliness practices. |
| F．Some parents, however, are doubtful about the benefits of the trips. |
| G．Besides, students should ask for permission before going anywhere else. |

There’s a lot that goes into moving to a new city. You’re house hunting in areas you aren’t familiar with, dragging all of your belongings around, trying to figure out which grocery store keeps your favourite noodles in stock, and wondering when you’ll ever find a new dentist. This was exactly what I went through when I settled in Chicago.
Every day, I was fully occupied, exhausted. I found my new city so big and unfriendly.
After graduating from college in May, I moved from the town of Oxford, Mississippi, to Chicago to start my full-time job. Typically, when I went through lots of change in my life, I had consistent faces around me: my family or my friends. This time, however, it was just me. And for someone who’s an introvert (内向的人), this was anything but easy.
Besides, the job itself was also something beyond my expectation. What I learnt in college was totally different from what I needed to do in the company. I worked longer hours to sort things out and couldn’t sleep well at night. It was a lot of change at once. It was too much. I was helpless.
What’s worse, my poor health added to the helplessness. Due to days of pressure, I had a physical problem. It seemed that I had to go to hospital for a thorough examination. It seemed a small challenge compared to the one I was about to face, but things started to go wrong right from the beginning.
Not having a car or knowing the city, I was depending on a couple of buses to get around. Although I’d left myself plenty of time, soon it was obvious that I was going to be late, as I had mistakenly got on a bus that was taking me in the opposite direction.
注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
I had no choice but to get off the bus.
