Lucio Arreola is 50 years old, the father of three daughters and a bank manager in Puerto Rico. He is going to have a surprising Father’s Day this year. He finds just about every day surprising now. Arreola has a new heart, or at least, new to him. On April 20, doctors transplanted (移植) the heart of a dead 25-year-old man into him. Although he may never know the man’s identity, he and his family will always be grateful to him.
Arreola was told he had a heart muscle disease 15 years ago that weakened his breathing and circulation, so he went on a lot of medications. His wife and daughters worried about his health, while he worried about their happiness.
Lucio Arreola has been recovering from his heart transplant surgery at Houston Methodist over the past two months. “One day up, one day down,” he said. “Some days dark, some light. But what happens is that when the sun is out, you really feel it. Every breath is sweet. You see the trees and people. You hear your daughters laugh, and it’s like birds singing. You tell yourself, ‘There is no time in life for anything but love.’”
Liz Laguaite, a hospital music therapist, told Arreola and his family, “Why don’t you try to write a song together about what you’ve been through and what you’ve learned?” They decided to try. Lucio Arreola worried that illness might make his daughters see him as a delicate man. But instead of frailty, they mostly saw his courage to go on. And he said their love was like his own powerful heart muscle that gave him faith, hope and courage.
“My weak heart,” he said, “helped make them strong.”
Lucio Arreola said he had learned that human hearts were delicate. But a family’s love was enduring. The Arreolas recorded the song they created while Lucio recovered. The song begins with the strong beat of a father’s loving heart.

Dennis Prescott, a famous Canadian chef and cookbook author, understands the very essence of cooking. His practice is based on making people happy with food that inspires joy at the table. Naturally, it took Prescott time and work to achieve a level of freedom and joy in the kitchen.
As a struggling musician living in Nashville, TN, he learned how to cook by working his way through several Jamie Oliver cookbooks. But he soon realized that food, rather than music, was his actual passion and he threw himself into creating delicious recipes. Working alongside chefs in various restaurants leads him to travel the world as a chef and finally become the master he is today.
“Mastery takes years,” stresses the chef. “The best chefs in the world are the best because they’ve put years of work to get to a place where something comes naturally to them like second nature. And they still fail often, because they’re constantly pushing their own creativity in the kitchen.”
Besides the actual cooking, Prescott’s success is also owed to his online presence. His Instagram account is full of photos of mouth-watering food and appealing recipes that will inspire you, at the very least, to order some takeout. “When I started, I simply thought all I’d have to focus on was food,” he says. “Wrong. Should you aspire to be the best chef? Absolutely! That said, I spend much more time working on account receivables and on meetings than I do in the kitchen.”
When asked what is his advice to other aspiring cooks, he said, “There is no special pill or secret to success. Just put your head down, work hard and put in the time. In the end, the risk will pay off.”
8. How did Prescott learn to cook at first?
A. By copying other cooks on social media. B. By learning cooking skills from cookbooks.
C. By doing cooking in various restaurants. D. By getting special recipes from a musician.
9. What does Prescott think of the best chefs?
A. They work years to avoid failure. B. They have second nature to be cooks.
C. They are creative and practice constantly. D. They usually have their own kitchen.
10. What does Prescott consider wrong as a cook?
A. Spending time on account receivables. B. Ordering some takeout online.
C. Longing to be the best chef. D. Focusing all on food.
11. Which is Prescott’s suggestion to other cooks?
A. They should face up to failure. B. They should seek the secret of recipes.
C. The practice of cooking should come first. D. Cooking should be combined with music.
D
Triantha Occidentalis, commonly known as the western false asphodel (西部假水仙), which has been known to science since 1879, is a herb-like plant found in abundance along North America’s West Coast. But it is only recently that researchers discovered the innocent-looking plant’s desire for insects.
“We had no idea it was carnivorous (食肉的),” says botanist Sean Graham. “This was not found in some exotic tropical location, but really right on our doorstep in Vancouver. You could exactly walk out from Vancouver to this field site.”
While studying the plant, the researchers noticed that Triantha Occidentalis lacked the same gene as other carnivorous plants. Since the plant grows in the same wet, sunny habitat with nutrient-poor soil as other carnivorous plants, they wondered if it caught insects for nutrition as well. “And at the same time they have sticky stems (茎),” Graham said. “So, I wonder if this could be a sign that it might be carnivorous.”
To test whether it is carnivorous, scientists marked fruit flies with nitrogen-15 isotopes (氮-l5同位素). By collecting the plants the fruit flies visited and comparing the nitrogen levels of different plants, the researchers found that Triantha Occidentalis was able to get more than half of the nitrogen it needed, suggesting that it absorbs nitrogen from the fruit flies. Additionally, the digestive enzyme (消化酶) released by the sticky hairs in flower stems was similar to that found in other carnivorous plants.
Usually, the deadly trap of carnivorous plants grow far away from the flower to prevent accidentally killing pollinators (授粉者), while the western false asphodel traps insects near flowers. The scientists say this is the first time they have met the deadly trap on the flower’s stem, and the sticky hairs on the stem of Triantha Occidentalis can only catch small insects, not the larger bees or butterflies involved in pollination.
“It’s a good reminder that we still don’t know much about the ecology of a lot of individual plant species even in well-known environments,” says Dr. Qianshi Lin.
12. What does Graham stress in paragraph 2?
A. The discovery is made in the local place.
B. Carnivorous plants grow in the hottest places.
C. Triantha Occidentalis is very common.
D. Vancouver is home to various carnivorous plants.
13. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. The nitrogen. B. The digestive enzyme.
C. The flower. D. The nutrition.
14. Which part of the western false asphodel catches insects?
A. Its fruit. B. Its leaves.
C. Its stem. D. Its roots.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A new species of local flower is discovered.
B. A carnivorous flower in the wild grows well.
C. A flower gives off strange smell to attract insects.
D. An innocent-looking plant turns out to be carnivorous.
