9.Legos (乐高玩具)
    Architecture lovers in Washington do not have to travel far to see some of the world's must famous building.Architect Adam Reed Tucker has rearrested fifteen of them using Lego bricks.The exhibit is called"LEGO Architecture:Towering Ambition."It is at the National Building Museum in Washington until early September.
  Lego bricks are small,colorful plastic blocks.They can be snapped together to make any number of objects.They are popular with children of all ages around the world.
  Adam Reed Tucker calls himself an"architectural artist."
  He was a professional architect for ten years.After the terrorist attacks against the United States in two thousand one he decided to do something different.He wanted to express his feelings for the form of the skyscraper while deepening his understanding of architecture,engineering and construction.He chose to use something that most people used as children and could relate to.
  The buildings in the exhibit include the World Trade Center in New York that was destroyed in the terrorist attacks; the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis,Missouri; the famous house called Fallingwater in Pennsylvania,designed by Frank Lloyd Wright; and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai,the tallest building in the world.Tucker used more than four hundred fifty thousand Legos to make his version which is more than five meters tall.
  Tucker does all his work by hand,using only pictures of the buildings.He does not use any computers or drawings to plan his buildings.While the exhibit is going on,Tucker will be working on his latest work,the White House where the American president lives.Visitors can watch him create the famous building brick by brick.
  Anne Bennett visited the Building Museum with her two grandchildren,Dylan and Daisy.She used the Lego exhibit to teach her grandchildren about famous buildings.
"My favorite is probably that tall building because it's made out of Legos.It's really cool because it looks like there's individual little rooms."Said Daisy.
What Daisy was talking about is the Willis Tower,formerly known as the Sears Tower in Chicago,Illinois.The real building is over four hundred forty meters tall.Tucker's model stands six meters tall.
  After walking through Tucker's models,visitors can create their own works at the building station.They can make houses,office buildings,stores or factories.They can then place their models on a large map of a city.As more visitors come,the Lego city will grow.
  To many people,Legos might seem like toys for kids.But Adam Reed Tucker proves that the only limit to what the toy can do is a person's imagination.
71.How many buildings had Tucker completed using Lego bricks by the time the architecture exhibit began?A

72.When can you see LECO Architecture Exhibit according it the text?A

6.Dad had a green comb (梳子).He bought it when he married Mum.Every night,he would hand me his comb and say."Good girl,help Daddy clean it,OK?"
I was pleased to do it.At age five,this dull(无趣的) task brought me such joy.I would excitedly turn the tap (水龙头)on and brush the comb carefully.Satisfied that I'd done a good job.I would happily return the comb to Dad.He would smile affectionately (亲切地)at me and place the comb on his wallet.
Two years later.Dad started his own business,which wasn't doing so well.That was when things started to change.Dad didn't come home as early and as much as he used to.Mum and I became mad with him for placing our family in trouble.With time,an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

14.Have you ever had the strange feeling that you were being watched?You turned around and,sure enough,someone was looking right at you!
Parapsychologists(灵学家)say that humans have a natural ability to sense when someone is looking at them.To research whether such a"sixth sense"really exists,Robert Baker,a psychologist at the University of Kentucky,performed two experiments.
In the first one,Baker sat behind unknowing people in public places and stared at the backs of their heads for 5to 15minutes.The subjects(受试者)were eating,drinking,reading,studying,watching TV,or working at a computer.Baker made sure that the people could not tell that he was sitting behind them during those periods.Later,when he questioned the subjects,almost all of them said they had no sense that someone was staring at them.
For the second experiment,Baker told the subjects that they would be stared at from time to time from behind a two-way mirror in a laboratory setting.The people had to write down when they felt they were being stared at and when they weren't.Baker found that the subjects were no better at telling when they were stared at than,if they had just guessed.
Baker concludes that people do not have the ability to sense when they're being stared at.If people doubt the outcome of his two experiments,said Baker,"I suggest they repeat the experiments and see for themselves."

56.What is the purpose of the two experiments?(No more than 10words)
Prove why humans have a sixth sense.
57.What does the underlined word outcome mean in English?(No more than 5words)
result
58.In the first experiment,what did the subjects say to Baker?(No more than 15words)
The subjects were not told that they would be stared at
59.What did Baker find when he finished the second experiment?(No more than 15words)
The subjects couldn't tell when they were stared at and when they weren't
60.What can we learn from the passage?(No more than 15words)
The subjects do not have a sixth sense in the experiments.
1.CHICAGO (Reuters)-Smoking not only can wrinkle (起皱纹) the face and tarn it yellow-it can do the same to the whole body,researchers reported on Monday.
The study,published in the Archives of Dermatology,shows that smoking affects the skin all over the body-even skin protected from the sun.
"We examined non-facial skin that was protected from the sun,and found that the total number of packs of cigarettes smoked per day and the total years a person has smoked were linked with the amount of skin damage a person experienced,"Dr.Yolanda Helfrich of the University of Michigan,who led the study,said in a statement.
"In participants older than 65years,smokers had significantly more fine wrinkling than nonsmokers.Similar findings were seen in participants aged 45to 65years,"Helfrich"s team added in their report.
The researchers tested 82people,smokers and nonsmokers,taking pictures of the inner right arms. They ranged,in age from 22to 91and half were smokers.Independent judges decided how wrinkled each person's skin was.
When skin is exposed to sunlight,notably the face,it becomes coarse,wrinkled and discolored with a pale yellow tint,Helfrich's team wrote.
Several previous studies have found that cigarette smoking contributes to premature(过早的)skin aging as measured by facial wrinkles,the study said,but little has been done to measure the aging of skin not exposed to light.
The report did not discuss die mechanism involved but previous research has found that cigarette smoke,among other things,causes blood vessels (血管) beneath the skin to constrict (紧缩),reducing blood supply to the skin.
Smoking can also damage the connective tissue that supports both die skin and the internal organs,.

72.When your skin is exposed to sunlight long,it-becomes all of the following butA.
A.flexible  B.coarse      C.rough     D.discolored
73.How wrinkled a person's skin is doesn't relate toB.
A.the number of cigarettes a person smokes.
B.the kind and characteristics of skin
C.how long a person smokes
D.how long skin is under sunlight
74.From the passage smoking results in skin aging mainly becauseA.
A.it will lower blood supply to skin
B.it can make you feel tired
C.it can make skin come off
D.it can make blood run faster
75.The main purpose of the passage is toC.
A.inform people about the result of the study
B.advise people how to protect skin
C.warn people not to smoke again
D.introduce a new way of avoid skin aging.
