【题目】President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama ended their first trip to India on Monday. The First Couple set off on the ten-day tour of Asia on Friday. Obama’s goals for the tour are to improve ties between the US and the region, and to promote (促进) economic growth and job creation. The President and his team will return to Washington, D.C. on November 14.

The Obamas began their trip in Mumbai, India, the financial and economic center of the country, on November 6. There, they met with government officials, business leaders and school groups. Up first on the schedule was a visit to a memorial at the TajMahal Palace and Tower Hotel. Obama’s second day in India was lighter than the first. The Presidential visit took place on Diwali, or the Festival of Lights. The five-day religious festival is celebrated each year by Hindus, Sikhs and others. The Obamas spent the holiday visiting with local schoolchildren.

On Monday, Michelle Obama joined 15 Indian school girls on a field trip to a museum of Indian craft work. During the tour, the First Lady stressed to the students the importance of education. Most of the children on the trip are the first girls in their families to attend school. Mrs Obama also encouraged the young women to stay fit, telling them that she likes to exercise because “women have to stay strong”.

Early tomorrow, the Obamas will travel to Indonesia, the country in which the President spent four years as a boy. After that, they will fly to Seoul, South Korea, to attend the Group of Twenty, or G-20, economic summit. The conference brings together leaders from 20 wealthy and developing nations and the European Union. They meet twice a year to address challenges that affect the global economy.

The final leg of the tour will be in Japan, where Obama will attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.

【题目】A Southampton University team found that people who were vegetarians by 30 had recorded five IQ points higher on average at the age of 10. Researchers said it could explain why people with a higher IQ were healthier as a vegetarian diet was linked to lower heart disease and obesity rates. The study of 8，179 people was reported in the British Medical Journal.

Twenty years after the IQ tests were carried out in 1970，366 of the participants said they were vegetarians — although more than 100 reported eating either fish or chicken.

Men who were vegetarians had an IQ score of106，compared with 101 for non-vegetarians； while female vegetarians averaged 104, compared with 99for non-vegetarians. There was no difference in the IQ scores between strict vegetarians and those who said they were vegetarians but reported eating fish or chicken.

Researchers said the findings were partly related to better education and higher class, but it remained statistically significant after adjusting for these factors.

Vegetarians were more likely to be female, to be of higher social class and to have higher academic or vocational qualifications than non-vegetarians. How-ever, these differences were not reflected in their annual income, which was similar to that of non-vegetarians.

Lead researcher Catharine Gale said，"The findings that children with greater intelligence are more likely to report being vegetarians as adults, together with the evidence on the potential benefits of a vegetarian diet on heart health, may help to explain why a higher IQ in childhood or adolescence is linked with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease in adult life. ”

But Dr. Frankie Phillips of the British Dietetic Association said，“ It is like the chicken and the egg . Do people become vegetarians because they have a very high IQ or is it just that they are clever enough to be more aware of health issues?"

【1】 What's the result of the research mentioned in the text?

A. Intelligent children are more likely to become vegetarians later in life.

B. Children with a higher IQ are less likely to have heart disease later in life.

C. Intelligent children tend to belong to higher social class later in life.

D. Children with a healthier heart tend to have a higher IQ later in life.

【2】It was found in the research that __________.

A. most of the participants became vegetarians 20years after the IQ tests were carried out

B. vegetarians who ate fish or chicken were of similar intelligence with strict vegetarians

C. female vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians

D. vegetarians were more likely to have higher annual income than non-vegetarians

【3】 What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?

A. Intelligence is linked to not just being a vegetarian but to many factors.

B. The rate of getting heart disease is linked to your lifestyle.

C. The link between a high IQ and being a vegetarian is still uncertain.

D. The link between a healthy heart and diet remains to be proved.span>

【4】 What's the best title for the text?

A. Get more IQ points!

B. Be a vegetarian, please!

C. Vegetarian diet cuts heart risk.

D. A high IQ is linked to being a vegetarian.

宇宙之谜：只剩下为数不多的细节

李淼

没有什么谜语比写在天上的更加巨大了。我们的宇宙存在了多长时间？它由什么组成？宇宙中的结构是怎么一步一步地形成的？这些不同的能量成分的起源是什么？最后，时间和空间的本质是什么？

最近欧洲航天局的普朗克卫星让我们更加接近了这些巨大谜语的答案。

最近十年来，宇宙学家掌握的宇宙的细节超出了过去整个宇宙学史所掌握的，几乎可以给出一个精确的宇宙进化史，只剩下不多的细节了。各种不同的天文学观测手段对我们的知识做出了贡献，宇宙学家尤其喜欢谈论WMAP，这是一个在太空中观测宇宙中无所不在的射电信号的航天器。

这两年，大家的注意力和谈话内容转移到了欧洲发射的普朗克卫星，这颗卫星的寿命虽然比WMAP短，但造价更高，能力更强。2013年3月21日，欧洲航天局和普朗克卫星科学工作组第一次发布了研究成果，全世界的宇宙学家正忙于解读这些成果。

最初的宇宙学

哥白尼伽利略牛顿解开太阳系之谜之后，天文学家和物理学家是上世纪才慢慢解开宇宙之谜的。

哈勃等人先发现银河系不是整个宇宙，后来，哈勃又发现银河系之外的遥远的天体相对我们作退行运动。哈勃用类似的方式发现了河外星系和宇宙膨胀，但他得出的宇宙膨胀速度比现在大了近十倍，这和当时测量距离的粗糙方式有关。即使测量非常不准确，但不妨碍他的定性结论的正确性：远离我们的星系相对我们的退行速度与距离成正比。

自然，理论家总是历史中的先知。在哈勃发现哈勃定律之前的十年，第一代宇宙学家在爱因斯坦的时空理论的基础上发现了宇宙膨胀的规律，亚历山大弗里德曼在1922年从爱因斯坦方程解出宇宙膨胀解，1927年，工程师兼神父勒梅特也发现了膨胀宇宙解，他干脆建议宇宙起源于一个原初“原子”，起源于这个原初“原子”的大爆炸。勒梅特的理论非常接近宇宙学的现代理论了。

当然，最先研究宇宙学的还是爱因斯坦，可惜他引进了一个静态宇宙，为了这个静态宇宙，他还引进了“宇宙学常数”，这个常数现在普遍被称为暗能量，因为在爱因斯坦那里，这个常数就是真空能量，在现代宇宙学理论中，这个能量可能更加复杂，不只是一个常数。它是不是常数，现在还是一个巨大的难题。

大爆炸理论

在更大的尺度上，宇宙虽然在膨胀，但天体的退行速度不严格遵循哈勃定律。宇宙的膨胀速度与宇宙中的能量组成有关，例如，普通物质使得宇宙膨胀的速度慢慢变慢，而暗能量会引起无所不在的斥力，使得宇宙膨胀的速度慢慢变大。当然，由于爱因斯坦的时空理论，不论在哪种情形，非常遥远的天体的退行速度不严格与距离成正比，宇宙学家有一整套公式可以用来计算这些退行速度。

正是由于我们对理论的熟知，导致1990年代末发现暗能量，此时，哈勃用的造父变星已经不够用了，天文学家用非常遥远的超新星确定了宇宙膨胀的速度在加速！这个发现震撼了整个天文界和物理界，发现的三个主要人物在2011年获得诺贝尔物理学奖。

在发现宇宙加速膨胀之前，物理学家早就建立了当时认为的成熟的宇宙学。这个宇宙学理论认为，我们的宇宙起源于一个发生在大约一百亿年前的大爆炸。在发生大爆炸的时候，宇宙还很小，物质密度异常高，也没有天体，只有一锅等离子原始电浆，里面什么粒子都有。

这个理论是伽莫夫等人在1948年就提出来的，他们预言了几个轻元素在宇宙中的丰度，还预言了宇宙中无所不在的射电波，后来被称为宇宙微波背景辐射。

B．作为航天器的WMAP深受宇宙学家们的喜欢，它可以在太空中观测宇宙中无所不在的射电信号。

C．由于测量距离的关系，哈勃得出的宇宙膨胀速度与实际相差甚远，但他的退行运动的定性结论是正确的。

D．普通物质使宇宙膨胀速度变慢，暗能量则使宇宙膨胀速度变大，这说明宇宙中的能量组成影响不了宇宙的膨胀速度。

【题目】 If you’re ever apart from your children, just talking on the phone will help just as much as a hug.

If you’re a parent who spends long hours on the job, you probably feel guilty for spending so much time away from your kids. But the results of a new study show that a mother’s voice alone can be just as comforting to an anxious child as physical contact.

In an experiment, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison asked a group of girls between the ages of 7 and 12 to solve math problems in front of judges — a stressful situation for anyone. Before the girls were set to give their answers, the researchers measured their levels of two hormones (荷尔蒙): cortisol, which goes up during stressful periods, and oxytocin, the “love” hormone.

After they were finished, some of the girls got to meet up with their mothers right away. The moms came in and hugged the girls. Another group of the girls didn’t see their mothers, but received phone calls from them, in which their mothers told them how well they’d done. The final group had no contact with their mothers, but instead watched an animal movie, March of the Penguins.

Finally, the girls’ hormone levels were measured again. Although the movie was interesting, it did nothing to ease the children’s anxiety — but, surprisingly, both the physical contact and phone calls from their mothers had the same influence on reducing the girls’ stress levels.

So, no matter how old you are, if you’re feeling stresed about something in your life, a phone call to Mom might be just the key to help you feel better.

谈 静

朱光潜

人生乐趣一半得之于活动，还有一半得之于感受。所谓“感受”是被动的，是容许自然界事物感动我的感官和心灵。眼见颜色，耳闻声音，是感受；见颜色而知其美，闻声音而知其和，也是感受。同一美颜，同一和声，而各个人所见到的美与和的程度又随天资境遇而不同。比方路边一棵苍松，你只觉得可以砍来造船；我觉得可以让人纳凉；他也许说很宜于入画，或者说是高风亮节的象征。反应不同，都由于感受力有强有弱。

世间天才之所以为天才，固然由于具有伟大的创造力，而他的感受力也分外比一般人强烈。比方诗人和美术家，你见不到的东西他能见到，你闻不到的东西他能闻到。麻木不仁的人就不然，请伯牙向他弹琴，他也只联想到弹棉花。感受也可以说是“领略”，不过领略只是感受的一方面。世界上最快活的人不仅是最活动的人，也是最能领略的人。所谓领略，就是能在生活中寻出趣味。

能处处领略到趣味的人决不至于岑寂，也决不至于烦闷。“半亩方塘一鉴开，天光云影共徘徊，问渠哪得清如许？为有源头活水来。”这是一种绝美的境界。姑且闭目一思索，假想这半亩方塘便是自己的心，你看这首诗比拟人生苦乐多么惬当!一般人的生活干燥，只是因为他们的“半亩方塘”中没有天光云影，没有源头活水来，这源头活水便是领略得的趣味。

领略趣味的能力固然一半由于天资，一半也由于修养。大约静中比较容易见出趣味。物理上有一条定律说：两物不能同时并存于同一空间。这个定律在心理方面也可以说得通。一般人不能感受趣味，大半因为心地太忙，不空所以不灵。所谓“静”，便是指心界的空灵，不是指物界的沉寂，物界永远不沉寂的。心境愈空灵，愈不觉得物界沉寂，或者还可以进一步说，心界愈空灵，也愈不觉得物界喧嘈。习静并不必定要逃空谷，也不必定学佛家静坐参禅。静与闲也不同。许多闲人不必都能领略静中趣味，而能领略静中趣味的人，也不必定要闲。在百忙中，在尘市喧嚷中，偶然丢开一切，悠然遐想，心中便蓦然似有一道灵光闪烁，无穷妙悟便源源而来：“万物静观皆自得，四时佳兴与人同。”日本人小林一茶有一首俳句：“不要打哪，苍蝇搓他的手，搓他的脚呢。”懂得这一句诗，便懂得我所谓静趣了。

(选自来光潜《谈美书简·给青年的十二封信》，有删改)

作者所说“静趣”的含义是什么？为什么说懂得小林一茶的俳句就懂得“静趣”了？
