4．Do you remember the man who contributed a lot to the understanding of British and American English？Noah Webster，born on October 16，1758，is known for The American Dictionary of the English Language．He has been called the"Father of American Scholarship and Education"．His"Blue-Backed Speller"books were used to teach spelling and reading to five generations of American children．But how much do you know about him beyond that？
At the age of 16，Noah Webster began attending Yale College．Unfortunately，he spent his four years at Yale during the American Revolutionary War，and，because of food shortages，many of his college classes were held in Glastonbury，Connecticut．Later，he served in the army．

He earned his law degree in 1781，but did not practice law until 1789．Once he started he found the law was not to his liking．Webster did not have much money．
In 1793，Alexander Hamilton lent him 1500to move to New York City to edit a newspaper．In December，he founded New York's first daily newspaper，American Minerva，and edited it for forty years．For decades，he published textbooks，political essays，a report on some diseases，and newspaper articles for his party，He wrote so much that a modern list of his published works required 655pages．

5．Where is that noise coming from？Not sure？Try living with your eyes closed for a few years．
Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see，a new study says，without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better．
Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by．Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away．
Twenty-three blind people participated in the study．All had been sightless for at least 20years．Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11．the rest went blind after age 16．The experiment also included 10people who could see but were wearing blind-folds．
In one task，volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3metres away．When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front，both groups performed equally well．
When sounds came from the side or the back，however，the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group．The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later．
Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people，say the researchers．Crossing the street，for instance，is much harder when you can't see the cars coming．
Still，the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did，especially those who went blind after age 16．In another experiment，the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11．These brain parts didn't show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people．The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of"late-onset"blind people．

A．The sources of loud sounds．
B．the locations of distant sounds

A．Those who are blind．
B．Those who have gone blind since childhood．
C．Those who went blind at age 16．
D．Those who are blindfolded．
53．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A
A．Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind．
B．All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless．
C．All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction．
D．The later people become blind，the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds．
54．What do we know about that parts of brain dealing with visual information are active in locating sounds？D
A．This happens in almost all the testers．
B．This only occurs in the people who were blind after age 16．
C．It remains nothing new to the scientists any more．

3．The summer I was ten，my mother decided to bring us to the world of art．My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant．What she meant was not that we could take draw ing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum．Before each visit to the museum，she made us read about artists and painting styles．It was almost as bad as being in school．Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool？
First，we had to read about ancient Egyptians and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum．My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny，but I was not interested．Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Age s who painted people wearing strange long clothing．We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings．I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art．
On our last visit to the museum，something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary．In it，a woman was reading to a child．The colors were soft and gentle，and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child．I couldn't stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much．
28．The aim of the mother's plan was toA．
