Bryan’s disease is so severe he has recentlybeen 7 to receive a rare, experimental stem cell transplant. Stem cells are a basic kind of cell. They 8 thegrowth of more specific cells. Early experiments indicate that human organs and tissues can be grown from stem cells.The existence of stem cells was first recognized in the 1900s. European scientists realized that all kinds of blood cells,including red, white, and T cells, come from one kind of basic cell, the stem cell. In fact, most adult tissue containssome stem cells in it, 9 when tissue is injured, new cells can be generated. In 1998, researchers isolated andgrew stem cells. Such cells were capable of growing for a long time and differentiating into many kinds of cells.Stem cells used in research and surgery usually come from human embryos. Stem cells can be grown from adult tissue,but these stem cells do not seem to last for long, 10 develop into a wide variety of cell types. Thus most of thestem cells in use for research come from embryos or fetuses.

But the marriages themselves can harm the young brides. Such unionsoften end girls’ educations and 11 significant health risks. Pregnancy is the number one cause of deathworldwide among girls between the ages of 15 and 19. And a child is statistically likely to be born within the first twoyears of marriage.The number of girls facing these risks is staggering. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, 12 , 74 percent ofgirls aged 15 to 19 are married. In Nepal, 7 percent of girls are wedded before they turn 10. Throughout sub-SaharanAfrica girls’ and women’s chances of 13 HIV substantially increase after they marry.International human rights standards set the minimum age for marriage at 18. Many countries, though, permitindividuals under 18 to marry with 14 consent. Often child marriages occur without regard for 15 law.Still, Agrienne Germain, president of the International Women’s Health Coalition, which campaigns against earlymarriage, says a slow wave of change is building. “What you find today,” she says, “are older siblings－brothers aswell as sisters－standing up for the younger generation and standing against these practices.”

It hopes, one day, to repair or replace worn-out hearts, livers,kidneys and other vital organs. Many people, though, would settle for a humbler repair—of their teeth.16 But if work by people such as David Mooney of Harvard University comes to fruition, the days of drill andfill may be numbered. Dr. Mooney and his team have found a surprising way to get dentine, the tissue that underlies atooth’s enamel coat, to repair itself. They do so by shining a laser beam at it.Regenerative medicine boils down to the intelligent manipulation of stem cells. A stem cell is one that has the capacityto split asymmetrically so that one remains a stem cell while the other gives birth to a line which proliferates anddifferentiates into many other sorts of cell. The most famous and controversial stem cells are those in earlyembryos. 17 Mature tissues such as dentine contain stem cells of more limited capacity, which keep up asupply of new specialized cells to replace old ones as they die.Dr. Mooney’s trick is to tickle dentine’s stem cells in a way that encourages them to proliferate and produce moredentine. 18 The light it shines creates chemically potent, oxygen-rich molecules such as hydrogen peroxidewhich go on to activate latent versions of molecules called transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1).19 This is a preliminary result, and it does not address the question of whether enamel might similarly berepaired. 20 Eventually, perhaps, dentists will approach cavities with lasers rather than drills—and the days offillings will be over.

(A)Dentistry has too much “drill and fill,” cutting away infected tissue and replacing with alien, artificialmaterials. (B)Dentistry is widely considered important for overall health. (C)The history of regenerative medicine is almost as ancient as the history of human civilization. (D)Dentistry usually encompasses very important practices related to the oral cavity.

(A)Enamel coats are distinguished from other cell types. (B)Regenerative medicine is important for living organisms for many reasons. (C)These can turn into any sort of body cell. (D)Laser beams offer new potentials for treating diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

(A)Here lasers are used for alignment. (B)And that is where the laser comes in. (C)And that is why we need the light. (D)But how could they be encouraged?

(A)Dr.Mooney and his team have shown that this works in both tissue cultures and actual (rats’) teeth. (B)Dentry usually encompasses very important practices related to the oral cavity. (C)Laser beams offer new potentials for treating diseases such as diabetes and heart disease. (D)A host of clinical applications fail to promote restorative dentistry and regenerative medicine.

(A)But it is encouraging. (B)But it is discouraging. (C)But it subverts the previous results. (D)But it proves nothing.請依下文回答第21 題至第25 題There are certain things that are fundamental to human fulfillment. The essence of these needs is captured in the phrase“to live, to love, to learn, to leave a legacy.” The need to live is our physical need for such things as food, clothing,shelter, economic well-being, and health.
