Kyle is my big brother. For eighteen years, I felt that Kyle was my enemy. In fact, I found it ridiculous that people thought older brothers looked out for their sisters, protected them and fought off their sisters’ bullies (恃强凌弱者). Huh? My brother was the bully.
When we were little, his fights with others caused my black eye, cuts in my lips and even a nosebleed or two. I often wished I were an only child!
Time flew. We ended up attending colleges two thousand miles apart, yet, strangely, that’s when we began communicating. Through e-mail, we kept in constant touch. Mostly I complained about serious homesickness, impossible roommates, difficult classes, and… dating. I felt I lost myself. At a particularly low time, I cried to Kyle about my injured confidence, my broken heart, and the particular jerk (蠢人) who broke it.
And that’s when the package arrived.
“What’s this?” I thought as I tore into it. The box revealed a sweatshirt. “Phi Delta Theta? That’s Kyle’s frat (兄弟会).” Kyle was the president of the frat house. Why would he send this? I put it aside and dug deeper. A pile of letters. And they were all addressed to me. I opened the one on top.
“Katrina,” it said, “your brother showed me your picture and I think you’re awesome and beautiful.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, sure.” I opened another letter. And another. Eighteen in all.
Each one was from a different guy. They complimented (恭维) me. They invited me on dates. And they tried to convince me to make a trip out to Knox College and meet them.
I loved it. I didn’t care about the motive. And mostly, I loved the idea that ray big brother had pulled it off. I picked up the phone.
“Kyle, the box came and I can’t believe what you did.” But Kyle wasn’t accepting compliments. “Oh,” he said, “I was just tired of reading your oversensitive e-mails.”
Big brothers, I decided, really did protect their sisters. And mine fought off the biggest bully I’d ever met. Now I return to my true self, full of confidence.
24. Why did the author use to call Kyle her enemy? A. He had many fights with her. B. He couldn’t fight off her bullies. C. He looked after and protected her. D. His fights caused her to suffer a lot. 25. Why did the frat guys write to the author? A. They had mercy on her. B. They tried to cheer her up. C. They couldn’t help dating her. D. They were crazy about her beauty.
26. What does the underlined words in the last paragraph refer to? A. Her self-doubt.
B. Her homesickness. D. The challenging classes.
C. The particular jerk.
27. What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To share her childhood experience. B. To complain about her biggest bully. C. To show her brother’s protection for her. D. To introduce her adjustment to college life.
C
Here’s an idea whose time has come: A flu shot that doesn’t require an actual shot. For the first time, researchers have tested a fluvaccine patch (疫苗贴) in a human clinical trial and found that it delivered as much protection as a traditional injection with a needle. Doctors and public health experts have highhopes that it will increase the number of people who get immunized (免疫的) against the flu.
Seasonal flu is responsible for up to half a million deaths around the world each year according to the World Health Organization. A team led by Georgia Tech engineer Mark Prausnitz has come up with an alternative method that uses “microneedles”. These tiny needles
