They may be small, and unable to have an adult conversation, but babies are proving their collective cleverness.

While your baby still might not be able to speak, he or she knows about you’re feeling down. Babies as young as 5 months of age can distinguish an exciting tune from a sad one, according to a study published in 2014 in the journal Neuron.

Speaking of music, it seems that babies can’t resist it. Not only are their ears sensitive to the beats, babies can actually dance in time to them, according to a study published in 2010. To test their dancing ability, the researchers played recordings of classical music and speech to them, and videotaped the results. The babies moved their arms, hands, legs, feet, and heads much more in response to the music than to speech. The findings suggest this dancing ability is innate(天生的) in humans.

Babies can apparently learn even while asleep. As newborn babies spend most of their time sleeping, this newfound ability might be crucial(至关重要的) for them to adapt rapidly to the world around them, and help ensure survival, the researchers say. The study was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Deciding whether another person is helpful or harmful is crucial in choosing friends — and that ability starts being visible early. Kiley Hamlin of Yale University showed both 6– and 10–month–olds some anthropomorphized(人格化的) shapes, in which one shape helped another climb a hill, while a third shaped pushed the climber down. The little ones then got to choose which shape they preferred. For both age groups, most babies chose the helper shapes. This character–judging ability could be the first step in the formation of morals, Hamlin says.

1.What does the third paragraph mainly say?

A. Babies are born to dance.

B. Babies prefer classical music.

C. Babies love listening to music.

D. Babies can tell different tunes apart.

2.What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Babies can understand emotions.

B. Babies value friendship very much.

C. It’s hard for babies to adapt to the world around them.

D. Babies show no reaction to speech.

3.Kiley Hamlin found that babies ________.

A. love to make friends

B. learn nothing while asleep

C. can tell right from wrong

D. like watching anthropomorphized shows

Hiking can be a pleasant as well as a not so pleasant adventure. You will have to take a number of measures so that your hike is a pleasant experience.

Hiking Tip 1 — Start Early

Most hiking experts hold the opinion that it is rather sensible to start hiking at 3 or 4 in the morning, even if it is a full-day hike. Since most hikes are conducted at high altitudes, starting off early will make sure that you are back down during the afternoon hours.

Hiking Tip 2 — Be Light

Since we are anyway talking about the load you will carry, another important hiking tip is to carry fewer loads. If you are going on a hiking trail on a familiar path, you will need reduced survival items, as chance that you will get lost or hurt yourself on these hiking trails is little.

Hiking Tip 3 — Reduce the Number of Breaks

Once you start your hike, you should make sure you do not take too many breaks. You will need to maintain a consistent speed and minimize the number of stops which you take. Speed and rest stops help distinguish an inexperienced hiker from an expert hiker. An inexperienced hiker will have bursts of speed and energy and it will be followed by rest stops. This results in slowing down the general speed.

Hiking Tip 4 — Tip for Children

Do you plan to take your kids along with you on the hiking trail? Well, then you must be looking for hiking tips for kids! You will have to educate them about nature and also get them into an exercise routine before taking them on a hike. Kids have a tendency to run in the beginning. This exhausts them and they have to be carried, which is certainly not the best of ideas.

1.You are advised to start hiking early in order to ________.

A. finish your hiking in a day

B. enjoy your hiking completely

C. avoid getting tired

D. get back down early

2.What should you do if you are going hiking on an unfamiliar trail?

A. Carry enough survival items.

B. Keep a high speed.

C. Start hiking in the afternoon.

D. Carry fewer loads.

3.According to the text, inexperienced hikers ________.

A. don’t keep a consistent speed

B. will easily get lost

C. choose well-established paths

D. don’t stop to rest

4.If you want to take a kid for hiking, you should ________.

A. make sure of his safety

B. prepare him for it

C. educate him about hiking

D. give him some tips

Retired or not?

Is retirement harmful to your health?

It’s an interesting question in light of a new study that finds senior citizens who work are in better health than their counterparts who don’t.

Researchers from the University of Miami examined data on more than 83,000 Americans. All of them were at least 65 years old. 1. The majority of these workers ―61 percent―held white collar positions.

Compared to people with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 2.75 times more likely to report their health as “poor” or “fair.”

2. For example, the survey included information on serious conditions like cancer and heart disease. Compared to those with white-collar jobs, those who were unemployed or retired were 49 percent more likely to have a history of at least two of these health problems.

Finally, interviewers asked whether people needed any assistance or special equipment to do things like stand, walk or climb stairs. 3. .

“Being unemployed or retired was associated with the greatest risk of poor health across all health status measures. 4. ”, the study authors concluded.

The results don’t show that working past retirement age is what made senior citizens with jobs healthier than their non-working neighbors. 5. This also makes them sad.

Still understanding the health benefits connected with working past age 65 could motivate business to find ways to hire older workers even if they have some limitations, researchers wrote.

A. People were amazed at the results.

B. Older Americans with jobs also ranked higher on health.

C. 13 percent of them were still working part time or full time.

D. Even after controlling for smoking, people still can’t be healthy.

E. Most retired Americans are reported to be unhealthy for some reason.

F. Retired seniors were 88 percent more likely than white-collar workers to have limitations.

G. Indeed, the authors stated that health problems force some people to drop out of the work.

Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678, 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.

All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3, 500, 000 tons. The waste includes bags,bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.

The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l,600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert,with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.

In recent years, there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste, resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full, lessening their desire to eat or drink.

The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste, and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.

Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier,another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.

In August,2009,a team from the University of California,San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.

1.How did the writer introduce the topic of the passage?

A. By giving an example.B. By listing the facts.

C. By telling a story.D. By giving a comparison.

2.What do we know about the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?

A. It is made up of various kinds of plastic products.

B. It is a solid mass of floating waste materials.

C. It lies l60, 000 kilometers east of California.

D. It is described as a kind of oceanic desert.

3.Why do people pay attention to the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch?

A. Because it may prevent the flow of ocean water.

B. Because the polluted plastic articles will move up the food chain.

C. Because it may be from an island in the pacific

D. Because ships may be trapped in the floating waste.

4.The purpose of writing this passage is to ____________.

A. warn people of the danger to travel in the pacific

B. analyze what caused the waste patch in the pacific

C. give advice on how to recycle waste in the ocean

D. introduce the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch
