Growing up, I never wore makeup and I was always more afraid of the mirror than anything else. I
hadn't thought makeup was meant for me, a disabled woman, until I saw Ulta's new advertisement:a huge
full-color photo of a model in a wheelchair.
The world of fashion and beauty is rarely related to disabilities, and even though Hollywood has
made steps toward greater inclusion and clothing brand Aerie has featured women with disabilities in
their advertisements, seeing disabilities in the mainstream is definitely unusual. The reason why these
things make headlines is that they're so rare.
I learned from a very young age that because of my disability, I would never be connected with beauty
or charm. I'd spent so long feeling separated from so many parts of society, but Ulta is sending a powerful
message with a single photo: It's time to challenge conventional beauty standards because beauty comes
in all forms.
We all want to feel included. When it comes to disabilities, it is so important, especially for children

and teens with disabilities. I was well into my 30s when I rolled into a makeup store for the first time. I
had no idea what I was doing and felt like entering a new world without a map；I felt like I was out of
place, as if I was peeking at a club without being invited. Imagine how my experience would have been
different if I had seen a model in a wheelchair, smiling, as if to say,“Welcome. Yes, you belong！”
That message of inclusion was loud and clear for Maren Anderson, a 4-year-old girl who has a rare
genetic disease and just started using a wheelchair. The moment she spotted the advertisement was caught
on camera by her mom Carolyn Anderson, and quickly spread last month on Facebook.“It's just really
saying that she feels included, and she feels like she identifies with that, and belongs here just like
everybody else. So, thank you, Ulta,”said Carolyn Anderson.
24．What can be learned from paragraph 2？
A．There will be more products for the disabled.
B．Aerie is the author's favorite clothing brand.
C．Hollywood works with Ulta to help the disabled.
D．It's hard for the public to associate beauty with disabilities.
25．What does the author think of Ulta's new advertisement？
A．It creates a new trend in the fashion world.
B．It makes society offer more jobs to the disabled.
C．It helps make the disabled feel confident and involved.
D．It breaks the barrier between the disabled and the able-bodied.
26．How did the author feel when she first stepped into the makeup store？
A．Nervous and embarrassed. B．Sad and lonely.
C．Excited and proud. D．Lost and bored.
27．Why is Maren Anderson's photo mentioned in the last paragraph？
A．To expose the condition of the disabled.
B．To show the effect of Ulta's advertisement.
C．To emphasize the sense of belonging.
D．To explore the contemporary beauty standards.

It's peak cold and flu season, which means taking a lot of preventative measures. Frequent hand-
washing is a must. As is avoiding co-workers or friends who are sick. But we humans are not the only
animals that change behavior to keep diseases at bay. So do ants.
“So there are the foragers and the nurses —it's two different groups of work,”said Natha of the
University of Lausanne. She and her colleagues observed ants to see their reaction to the presence of
a disease.
“The nurses being made of young workers typically, stay inside the nest and take care of the eggs.
And the foragers are all the workers spending most of time at outside of the nest to collect food and defend
the territory.”
Forager ants are at greater risk of getting exposed to diseases because they leave the safety of the
nest. So the researchers sprayed a common virus on a small group of forager ants and then followed their
movements to see the way other ants reacted.
“We marked all ants in the colony with individual labels, which carries these two-dimensional bar
code marks like QR code which is automatically detected and recorded using a tracking system.”
After the infection, the nurse and forager ants stayed within their working places and interacted less
