In my childhood, my mother spent her evening hours doing something for someone else. Sometimes she knitted(编织) hats for babies, and at other times, she cooked chicken soup for sick neighbours. Therefore, I wasn't surprised when one evening my mother announced(宣布) she had undertaken a new project.

“I am going to telephone seniors(老年人),” said my mother. “Every night? But you don't even know these people.” “It doesn't matter,” she said. “What's important is that I listen.” I was sixteen years old and couldn't understand why my mother was willing to spend her evenings talking to strangers. She had friends and my two older sisters to call if she felt lonely. “They will talk your ear off. Some people didn't even stop to catch breath,” I said.

My attitude(态度) didn't stop my mother's enthusiasm(热情) for the project. That evening, I listened as she asked the woman on the other line about her day and what she had eaten for dinner. When she finished the call, I said, “Why do you care whether she had cookies or rice puddings for dessert?” My mother said, “I'm the only person she talked to today.”

It took me more than thirty years to fully understand the meaning of that statement(声明). Now, as my mother is nearing eighty, I find myself thinking about those nightly calls she used to make. I am often the only person who telephones my mother, and sometimes I'm the only person she speaks to all day. I ask her what she cooked for dinner, but mostly I just listen as she describes a walk she took, or how her dog Lucky stole foods from the refrigerator. I realized that my mother's calls were life lines, which ensured housebound(足不出户的) seniors to keep in touch with the world. Without her, their world would have been empty.

Age may be just a number, but it's a number that often carries unwanted side effects, from fragile(易损的) bones and weaker muscles to increased risks of heart disease and cancer. Now, scientists at the Salk Institute have shown that they can safely and effectively reverse the aging process in middle - aged and elderly mice by partially resetting their cells to more youthful states.

As living creatures age, it is not just their outward appearances and health that change; every cell in their bodies causes a molecular clock(分子钟) that records the passage of time. Cells from older people or animals have different patterns of chemicals along their DNA, called epigenetic markers(表观遗传标志物), compared to younger people or animals. Scientists know that adding a mixture of four reprogramming molecules—also known as “Yamanaka factors”—to cells can reset these epigenetic markers to their original patterns. This approach is how researchers can dial back adult cells, developmentally speaking, into stem cells(干细胞).

In the new study, Izpisua Belmonte, a professor in Salk's Gene Expression Laboratory, and his colleagues tested variations of the approach in healthy animals as they aged. The first group of mice received the Yamanaka factors from the time they were 15 months old until 22 months, approximately equal to age 50 through 70 in humans. Another group was treated from 12 through 22 months, approximately age 35 to 70 in humans. And a third group was treated for just one month at age 25 months, similar to age 80 in humans.

“What we really wanted to establish was that using this approach for a longer time is safe,” says Belmonte. “Indeed, we did not see any negative effects on the health, behaviour or body weight of these animals.” Compared to control animals, there were no blood cell changes in the mice that had received the Yamanaka factors. Moreover, the team found no cancers in any of the groups of animals.

(　　　)22. What does the underlined word “reverse” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Maintain. B. Start. C. Change. D. Quicken.
(　　　)23. How many months have the mice with the longest experimental time been treated?
A. 1 month. B. 4 months. C. 5 months. D. 10 months.
(　　　)24. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?
A. The purpose of the study. B. The procedure of the study.
C. The background of the study. D. The significance of the study.
(　　　)25. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To report the result of a cancer study.
B. To introduce a cure for aging diseases.
C. To inform readers of a breakthrough in gene research.
D. To explain the process of keeping mice young.
