19.Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills(读写能力).With their shining brown eyes,wagging tails,and unconditional love,dogs can be the non-judgmental listeners for a beginning reader to gain confidence,according to Intermountain Therapy Animals (ITA) in Salt Lake City.The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children,with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs (READ).
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea."Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group,often have lower self-respect,and regard reading as a headache."said Lisa Myton,manager of the children's department of the blibrary.
Last November the two groups started"Dog Day Afternoon"in the children's department of the main library.About 25children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes,reading for half an hour.Those who attended three of the four classes received a"pawgraphed"book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April,according to Dana Thumpowsky,public relations manager.

"It's always difficult to predict,"said FIFA marketing director Thierry Weil."But I truly believe that it will be more similar to what happened in Germany than in South Africa in 2010."According to FIFA,the 2006World Cup was attended by more than 3.3million fans.Almost two million tickets were sold to the general public in South Africa,although the number of applications during the first ticketing phase was significantly lower.
All applications made before 10th October 2013will enter a random selection draw if there are not enough tickets available to fulfill all requests.The sales of the leftover tickets will begin on 5th November on a first-come,first-served basis.Another phase will begin on 8th December after the draw is made.The tournament begins on 12th June,with Brazil playing the opener in Sao Paulo.
A study on the price of World Cup 2014looked at the ticket prices and the cost of travelling to Brazil and found that our English fans face hotel costs of between£46and£797a night,while packages range from£2,999to£14,999.

3.A few months ago as I wandered through my parents'house,the same house I grew up in,I had a sudden,scary realization.When my parents bought the house,in 1982,they were only two years older than I am now.I tried to imagine myself in two years,ready to settle down and buy the house I'd still be living in almost 30 years later.
   It seemed ridiculous.On a practical level,there's no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon.More importantly,I wouldn't want to.I'm not sure where I'll be living in two years,or what kind of job I'll have.And I don't think I'll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.
   So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents.When our parents were our age,they'd got their education,chosen a career,and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.
   My friends and I--"Generation Y"--still aren't sure what we want to do with our lives.Whatever we end up doing,we want to make sure we're happy doing it.We'd rather take risks first,try out different jobs,and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place.We'd rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.
   This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation"arrogant","impatient",and"overprotected".Some of these complaints have a point.As children,we were encouraged to succeed in school,but also to have fun.We grew up in a world full of technological innovation:cellphones,the Internet,instant messaging,and video games.
   Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top,on the same track,often for the same company.That doesn't apply to my generation.
Because of that,it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible,stable adulthood.But that's not necessarily a bad thing.In our desire to find satisfaction,we will work harder,strive for ways to keep life interesting,and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents'generation did.

13.When it comes to getting older,humans aren't so special after all.It turns out their pattern of aging isn't too different from most other primates,such as chimps,monkeys and baboons,new research shows.
A team led by Anne Bronikowski of studied data on primate aging collected over decades around the world and compared it with statistics on modern Americans.Aging was defined as the increased risk of dying from natural causes while getting older.Some experts have thought that because people have relatively long life spans,humans aged differently from other mammals.
The research team believed that any major difference between humans and primates was most likely to show up with modern people,rather than a hunter-gatherer culture,Bronikowski said in a telephone interview."And the fact that we don't find a difference there is more compelling."
The basic pattern they found is a relatively high risk of dying in infancy (幼儿时期),a low risk of death during the juvenile years and then an increased risk of dying as aging progressed.Also,they found that in most cases males don't live as long as females.The authors wrote it in a study published online Thursday in the Journal Science.
The only exception to the general pattern was the muriqui monkey in Brazil; males and females have similar life spans.Unlike other primates,muriqui males do not compete with each other for access to females.Instead,they cooperate with each other,explained co-author Karen Strier,an anthropologist at the University of Wisconsin who has studied muriquis since 1982.The researchers said the reason males of other species die earlier than females may be a result of stress of competition.
Joseph W.Kemnits of the Wisconsin National Primate Research Ceter called the study"an important step"because it provides the first assessment of patterns of aging in large populations of nonhuman primates living in their natural environments.Kemnits was not part of the research team.
"The study of other primates contributes to understanding human aging because we share so much of our basic physiology,"added anthropology professor Kristen Hawkes of the,who was not part of the research team.

20."Mummy,I don't know what to play with."Steve interrupts his mother,who is talking to a friend,for the fourth time."You've got a room full of toys!"his mother says,impatiently.In fact it is thejumble of toys which is to blame for four-year-old Steve's lack of interest in his dolls,cars and stuffed (packed) animals.Each morning he tips out three washing baskets of toys all over his floor,listlessly pulls out something and shortly after is standing at his mother's desk or following her into the kitchen saying:"Mummy,I am bored."
A family therapist (心理医生) explains why children lose interest when they have a whole"toy shop"at home:"According to their brain development,little children are not in a position to judge the quality of a variety of things at once.There is always just one favorite toy for the moment.All the rest is left lying about."What can parents do to stop their children from being oversupplied with toys?Under no conditions simply make something disappear without the child's knowledge.If he/she takes no more notice of a toy,a parent can ask if it can be stored or given away.Be warned though the child will always say he/she wants it then!A talk with relatives and friends may also help.Lyn is the mother of four-year-old Jessie,and we like her way.A small set of shelves in her child's room holds the toys and books that are the current (at present) favorites.When it seems to her that her daughter is tired of these toys,they put them away in a box together and select some other toys from a cupboard in another room.The box of"old"toys goes into the cupboard.When her child says she is"bored",they also get something from her cupboard-it may be something she has had for some time but because she hasn't seen it for a while it is almost like a new toy.
Some favorite toys stay out all the time,and there is a collection of dolls which sits in the corner,but in this way Lyn has found that she has fewer toys to put away at the end of the day and her daughter always has something"fresh"to play with.

18.Do you know how it is when you see someone yawn and you start yawning too?Or how hard it is to be among people laughing and not laugh yourself?Well,apparently it's because we have mirror neurons (神经元)in our brains.
       Put simply,the existence of mirror neurons suggests that every time we see someone else do something,our brains imitate (模仿)it,whether or not we actually perform the same action.This explains a great deal about how we learn to smile,talk,walk,dance or play sports.But the idea goes further:mirror neurons not only appear to explain physical actions,they also tell us that there is a biological basis for the way we understand other people.
       Mirror neurons can undoubtedly be found all over our brains,but especially in the areas which relate to our ability to use languages,and to understand how other people feel.Researchers have found that mirror neurons relate strongly to language.A group of researchers discovered that if they gave people sentences to listen to (for example:"The hand took hold of the ball"),the same mirror neurons were triggeredas when the action was actually performed (in this example,actually taking hold of a ball).
       Any problems with mirror neurons may well result in problems with behavior.Much research suggests that people with social and behavioral problems have mirror neurons which are not fully functioning.However,it is not yet known exactly how these discoveries might help find treatments for social disorders.
       Research into mirror neurons seems to provide us with even more information concerning how humans behave and interact (互动).Indeed,it may turn out to be the equivalent (相等物)for neuroscience of what Einstein's theory of relativity was for physics.And the next time you feel the urge to cough in the cinema when someone else does-well,perhaps you'll understand why.
