Finishing just one marathon in your lifetime is something you will be pretty proud of,but for 73-year-old John Maultsby,it just wasn't enough.
Last Sunday,John made an achievement few have made. He finished running 50 marathons — one in every state of America. John was cheered on by a crowd that included his wife,mother,and three daughters as he crossed the finish line at a New Hampshire race,according to Today.com.
John's daughter,Mabel Maultsby,said in an interview that John had always been a runner and took up long-distance running in his late 50s to help lower his blood pressure. He also adopted a vegan diet（純素食譜）.
His first marathon was at the age of 60.It was during his first race when he saw a man wearing a shirt that said “50 States Finisher” that John thought he could accomplish that as well.
It's taken him 13 years,but John finally completed
his nationwide goal and now plans on running marathons on every continent. He has run seven marathons this year alone and has run the Boston Marathon nine times.
“He's so motivated,v Mabel said in an interview.“I'm so inspired by his motivation,and by his positive attitude. He still looks like the man he was irr his late 50s!” John believes he “l(fā)ooks older than he feels, ” Mabel said,adding that he's still very much “young at heart.”
As for the secret to staying in shape in his 70s,it's not difficult to find out.“The secret to a long life is happiness and a very supportive family,” Mabel said. “He's trying to keep positive,and he's always having goals. That's what's kept him going all this time.”
5. What makes John Maultsby stand out?

The next (繡球花) you grow could really save your life. A biologist at Colorado State University has taught plant proteins how to spot exp/osfves1 (炸藥) .
Picture this at an airport: A terrorist rolls through the sliding doors of a station with a bomb packed into his luggage. All of a sudden,the leafy,green hydrangea ringing the gates goes white 往s a sheet. That's the proteins inside the plants telling the authorities that they* ve picked up the chemical trace of the terrorist's explosive.
“Plants can't run and hide,” says June Medford,the biologist who's spent the last seven years figuring out how to get the plant to fight against terrorism. “If an insect comes by,it has to respond to it. And it already has its own particular way to respond.”
That would be the “receptor (受體)” proteins in its DNA. which respond naturally to threats. If an insect chews on a leaf,for instance,the plant releases a series of chemical signals called terpenoids,Medford says,that thickens the surface of the leaf in defense.
Medford and her team designed a computer model to direct the receptors: Basically,the computer program instructs the protein to react when it comes in contact with chemicals found in explosives or common air or water pollutants.
Right now,Medford's labs have genetically designed plants going white when they come into contact with explosives. But that's in a research lab,where the amount of light is constant.
Medford says her goal is to get her plants as sensitive as a dog's nose. But there is one big problem: Medford probably thinks it's not easy to get the plants to react to ammonium nitrate,a common chemical used for home-made bombs.
9. If the hydrangea discovers explosives,it will .
A. change color B. produce flowers
C. make its leaves thinner D. give off a special smell
10. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to.
A. the explosive B. the plant
C. the insect D. the terrorist
11. What do we learn about Medford's technology?
A. It will come into use in two years.
B. It has been studied for seven years.
G. It is chiefly based on medical science.
D. It can help spot ammonium nitrate easily.
12. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Fight against terrorism in your garden
B. Plants know how to respond to threats
C. Biologist develops bomb-spotting plants
D. Plant proteins hav^ been used to attract insects

Hip-hop music doesn’t typically remind us of the description “kid-friendly”. But Syracuse musicians Samar Moseley and Tyrone Jackson have found inspiration in their work as bus drivers for the Syracuse City School District. While other performers may rap about street violence or ill-gotten riches,this pair — known as 1306 — apply catchy beats to cautionary raps on bus safety and working toward graduation.
Last year,1306 put out a three-song record,Mr. Bus Driver,with positive raps on school-related issues. They also performed at city schools. In an interview,Moseley said that he thought 1306 could find a sizable market for its positive messages. Moseley is the songwriter while Jackson handles the beats and engineering. The pair,who started driving buses in 2011,are enthusiastic about what the foture holds.
They met during their bus driver training. The name 1306 came from Moseley's Bus Route 13 and Jackson's Bus Route 06. The concept behind that is going down a new journey and taking a new route to success. The first songs they did were club songs. One day,they both had a bad day on the bus,so they started talking about what happened and came up with the Mr. Bus Driver song.
“Driving a school bus isn’t an easy job. You have to let kids on the bus know that there are rules they should follow. The best way to teach something is to make it constructive and fun. Kids can learn the rules and have fun singing songs and dancing. It's a good feeling,” Jackson said. .
Their CDs have now become popular in other states. In Minneapolis,people play them in day care centers. After more than a year,1306 is still the only thing the kids in the centers want to listen to.
9. What makes 1306 different from other rappers?
A. Their club songs.
B. Their sunny smiles.
C. Their special experiences.
D. The themes of their songs.
10. Why did Moseley and Jackson choose the name 1306?
A. It was their new bus route number.
B. It combined their bus route numbers.
C. It reminded them of their bad days.
D. It is the combination of their birthday dates.
11. What's the purpose of 1306’s songs according to Jackson?
A. To comfort bored drivers.
B. To make kids learn music.
C. To teach people how to drive.
D. To help,kids behave themselves.
12. How is the last paragraph developed?
A. By time. B. By contrast.
C. By example. D. By space.
