Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ians long arms and legs to his. One night
16、 I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didnt understand how important it was to me.Even if Uncle Ian didnt think m y monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him
17、in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, an
18、d I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk
19、to him again.It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesnt only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.I an has been with me since I was six years old holding him in

26、omposing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkiens imaginative work “The Hobbit”.Hobbit was a name Tolkien c

41、the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the bodys defenses.First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria（细菌）. Within twenty-four hours, the cells produ

Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day.
