For a funnier, larger than life version of indoor balloon football, check out this must-see video.

Doctor are known to be terrible pilots. They don’t listen because they already know it all. I was lucky: I became a pilot in 1970, almost ten years before I graduated from medical school. I didn’t realize then, but becoming a pilot makes me a better surgeon. I loved flying. As I flew bigger, faster planes, and in worse weather. I learned about crew resource management (机组资源管理), or CRM, a new idea to make flying
safer. It means that crew members should listen and speak up for a good result, regardless of positions.
I first read about CRM in 1980. Not long after that, an attending doctor and I were flying in bad weather.
The controller had us turn too late to get our landing ready. The attending doctor was flying; I was safety pilot He was so busy because of the bad turn, he had forgotten to put the landing gear (起落架) down. He was a better pilot --- and my boss --- so it felt unusual to speak up. But I had to: Our lives were in danger. I put aside my uneasiness and said, “We need to put the landing gear down now!” That was my first real lesson
in the power of CRM, and I’ve used it in the operating room ever since.
CRM requires that the pilot/surgeon encourage others to speak up. It further requires that when opinions are from the opposite, the doctor doesn’t overreact, which might prevent fellow doctors from voicing opinions again. So when I’m in the operating room, I ask for ideas and help from others. Sometimes they’re not willing to speak up. But I hope that if I continue to encourage them, someday someone will keep me from “landing gear up”. 56. What dose the author say about doctors in general? A. They like flying by themselves. B. They are unwilling to take advice. C. They pretend to be good pilots. D. They are quick learners of CRM.
57. The author deepened his understanding of the power of CRM when_______. A. he saved the plane by speaking up B. he was in charge of a flying task C. his boss landed the plane too late
D. his boss operated on a patient
58. In the last paragraph “landing gear up” probably means ______. A. following flying requirements B. overreacting to different opinions C. listening to what fellow doctors say D. making a mistake that may cost lives
C
Every year, thousands of teenagers participate in programs at their local art museums. But do any of them remember their time at museum events later in life? A new report suggests that the answer is yes - and finds that alumni (毕业生)of arts-based museum programs credit them with changing the course of their lives, even years after the fact.
The Whitney Museum of American Art, the Walker Art Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles recently asked researchers to conduct a study to find out how effective their long-standing teen art programs really are. They involved over 300 former participants of four programs for teens that have been in existence since the 1990s. Alumni, whose current ages range from 18 to 36, were invited to find out how they viewed their participation years after the fact.
Among the alumni surveyed, 75 percent of alumni rated die teen program experience as the most favorable impact on their own lives, beating family, school and their neighborhoods. Nearly 55 percent thought that it was one of the most important experiences they'd ever had, regardless of age and two-thirds said that they were often in situations where then experience in museums affected their actions or thoughts.
It turns out that participating in art programs also helps keep teens enthusiastic about arts even after they reach adulthood: 96 percent of participants had visited an art museum within the last two years, and 68 percent had visited an art museum five or more times within the last two years. Thirty-two percent of program alumni work in the arts as adults.
Though the study is the first of its kind to explore the impact of teen-specific art programs in museums, it reflects other research on the important benefits of engaging with the arts. A decade of surveys the National
Endowment for the Arts found that childhood experience with the arts have linked arts education to everything from lower drop-out rates to improvement in critical thinking skills.
61. What does the underlined phrase “the fact” in Paragraph 1 refer to? A. Changing the course of children's life. B. Participating in childhood art programs C. Organizing arts-based museum programs. D. Remembering the time at museum events. 62. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us? A. The result of the study. B. The process of the study. C. The approach to the study. D. The object and content of the study. 63. What can be inferred of the study mentioned in the text? A. Passion for arts may remain long in kids' whole life. B. No other studies exist concerning the benefits of arts. C. Age matters in how people view their art experiences.
D. Most children taking part in art programs will work in arts. 64. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How is Art Connected to Our Life? B. Can Art Education Affect Our Income? C What Should Art Museums do for Kids? D. Should Children Walk into Art Museums?
D
When Lauren Marler began having disturbing symptoms at the age of 15, she somehow knew it was cancer. After some research, she realized she was right. But that was just the beginning of her horrific cancer journey. Marler's doctors discovered that what she had was truly unlucky—but she's still here to tell her tale.
In 2005, Marler noticed blood in her stool; she was too embarrassed to tell anyone. For two years she kept silent. “I looked up my symptoms and knew I had all the signs for colon cancer，” she says. “However, my mom thought I was overreacting.” Eventually, the doctor she visited
confirmed she had a colon cancer at the age of 17.
“The doctor said that I needed to get to the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre immediately，” Marler recalls. There she met with Miguel Rodriguez-Bigas, who removed
Marler's entire colon and almost all of her rectum(直肠)．
But just nine months later, the cancer returned. “When my mom told me, I just felt like, ‘You've got to be kidding me. I just want to be a normal kid.’” After another surgery, three months of chemotherapy(化疗), Marler believed that her cancer battles had to be over.
Then, during a routine scan to ensure that she was still in remission(重病的缓解期) five years later, 23-year-old Marler got a call. “The doctor called to tell me that the scan showed a spot in my
uterus(子宫) and it was endometrial cancer, an aggressive one. We went back to MD Anderson to meet with Pedro T. Ramirez, who recommended a full hysterectomy(子宫切除)．”
Puzzled by Marler's history, Dr. Rodriguez-Bigas recommended that she get genetic testing.
The testing revealed the bad news: Marler had an incredibly rare disorder called CMMRD. Dr. Rodriguez-Bigas explained that the disorder makes a person likely to suffer from different cancers.
There is no treatment for the disorder, only preventive care—primarily regular scans to catch any developing cancers early. Armed with an answer for the grief and suffering she had endured for the past decade of her life, Marler actually felt a sense of relief. “It's heartbreaking, but at least I have an answer.”
Three years later, Marler was unable to shake what she thought was sinus infection(鼻窦感染). Marler's mother knew something wasn't right when Marler refused to go back to the hospital because of the level of pain she felt.
On this trip to the hospital, Marler was admitted and scanned. “I couldn't believe it was happening again. The medical test showed that it was lymphoma(淋巴瘤), one of the hardest types to treat. The doctors told me the treatment was going to be so painful that I would hate them by the time it was over. They were right.” Marler endured six different types of chemotherapy at the same time, one of which was delivered through her spinal cord. She was required to be admitted to the hospital every other week for six days. “I was so weak that I couldn't get off my couch. I lost all of my hair, and I had severe body aches，” she recalls.
Today, at 28, Marler is once again in remission—something she definitely doesn't take for granted. She credits her family for her ability to endure her repeated battles with a smile. She says, “I laugh a lot. That's one thing my family does really well—we can find the humour in any situation. I've always found a way to laugh. I do worry about what's next, but I can't let it consume me. I've learned to live with it.”

It arouses our curiosity to read on about Lauren Marler's story. 66. What does the underlined word “aggressive” mean?
A. Being likely to spread quickly. B. Making oneself ready to attack.
C. Requiring chemotherapy to cure it. D. Acting with determination to succeed.
67. What exactly has caused Marler to suffer from various cancers?
A. Irregular medical scans. B. A rare gene problem.
