6.A simple gesture can be formed into a child's memory so quickly that it will cause the child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding suggests that parents,social workers,psychologists and lawyers should be careful with their hands as well as their words.
While memories of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion,those of children are known to be particularly influenced,said a researcher,Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.
Previous research,for example,has shown that detailed questions often cause false answers;when asked,say"Did you drink juice at the picnic?",the child is likely to say"yes"even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is consciously lying,but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem,social workers have long been advised to ask children only open-ended questions,such as"What did you have at the picnic?"But an open-ended question paired with a gesture,is treated like a detailed question.That is,children become likely to answer falsely.
And 77% of children gave at least one piece of false information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users,such as little kids.Broaders advises parents and other adults to"try to be aware of your hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise,you might be getting answers that don't mean what actually happened."

5.Dubai:An Indian man killed himself in Dubai by throwing himself under a train after his employer refused him the right to return home,newspapers in the Gulf emirate reported on Thursday.A driverless Dubai Metro (地铁) train struck the man on a track on Monday,the Gulf News daily said."His body was left beyond recognition and police took two days to identify him,"it reported.
"The 36-year-old had used an emergency fire exit to access the track,"the paper quoted Dubai police chief General Khamis al-Mazeina as saying,adding he was thought to have been under the influence of alcohol.A friend of the victim who had been in Dubai since 2010 told police the man was depressed and unhappy because he wanted to go back home but the sponsor (保荐人),for no clear reasons,was not letting him go.
 The Indian man?s work visa had been cancelled after he charged his employer.Under the sponsorship system (保荐制度) for foreign workers in the United Arab Emirates,employers take possession of their passports.
"We are looking for the reason why the company delayed sending the man back home,"Mazeina said.
The suicide is the first of its kind reported since the Dubai Metro began operations in September 2009.Platforms in metro stations are protected by glass doors that slide open only when a train is there.
 The UAE and other Gulf countries have come under repeated criticism from human rights groups over their treatment of millions of foreign workers,mostly South Asians.The watchdogs have particularly criticized the sponsorship system,still in force in most Gulf states,by which workers must be sponsored by their employer.

12.The Netherlands on Monday launched its first-ever"intelligent bicycle",fitted with a set of electronic devices (设备) to help bring down the high accident rate among elderly cyclists in this country.
The intelligent bicycle runs on electricity.Its seat shakes when other cyclists approach from behind,while the handlebars do the same when obstacles appear ahead to inform cyclists to pay attention to the danger.It also has a cradle (置物架) in which a computer can be inserted (插入),to wirelessly connect and"talk"to the bicycle through a particular application.The computer also flashes a bright signal if there is an approaching obstacle in the bicycle's path,like a tree,or if another cyclist comes up from behind intending to pass.
A commercial-available bicycle is expected to be on the market in the next two years and should sell for between 1,700 euros to 3,200 euros per bicycle.It weighs about 55pounds but researchers are working on making the on-board systems smaller.
‘‘Accidents often happen when cyclists look behind them or get frightened when they ar passed at high speed,"said Maurice Kwakkernaat,one of the scientists involved in the project,"The on-board system technology has already been at work in the automotive (自动的) industry".
"More and more elderly people are using a bicycle,not only for short distances,but also for longer distances,"Dutch Environment Minister Melanie Schultz van Haegen said,"This type of bicycle is truly needed in the Netherlands because it will help us bring down the number of elderly people who are injured every year and allow them to continue enjoying cycling,"she said.

29.What does the text mainly talk about?A
A.The newly-invented bicycle can warn of danger.
B.The intelligent computer runs on electricity.
C.More elderly people enjoy electronic devices.
D.The means of transportation in the Netherlands.
30.When a car appears ahead,the intelligent bicycle willC.
A.stop by itself
B.make a noise
C.warn its cyclist
D.change its color
31.What do you know about the intelligent bicycle?C
A.It uses gas as the fuel.
B.It is widely used now.
C.It will be lighter in weight.
D.It will be free for everyone.
32.More and more elderly people in the NetherlandsB.
A.try to invent intelligent bicycles
B.enjoy themselves by cycling
C.drive cars for longer distances
D.devote themselves to computers.
9.Can you imagine a classroom missing one thing that has long been considered a necessary part to reaing and writing?No notebooks,no textbooks,no test papers.Nor are there any pencils or pens,which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.
A"paperless classroom"is what more and more schools are trying to realize.Students don't do any handwriting in this class.Instead,they use handsized,or speciallydesigned computers.The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.
"Having computers also means that students can use the Web.They can look up information on any subject they're studying,from maths to social science."
High school teacher Judy Herrel in Florida,US,described how her class used the Web."Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible,"she said.
A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper.
"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers,"she said.
But,with all this technology,there's always the risk that the machines will break down.So,in case of a power failure or technical problem,paper textbooks are still widely available(可得到的)for these hitech students.

28.The underlined word"critical"in the first paragraph probably has the same meaning as"D".
A.worrying
B.dangerous
C.happy
D.important
29.In a paperless classroom,what is a must?B
A.A pen.
B.A computer.
C.Information.
D.A pencil.
30.According to Judy Herrel,C.
A.the Web can take the students everywhere
B.the Web can take the place of teachers
C.the Web is a better tool for information
D.the Web is for downloading information
31.Which of the following is not supported by the writer's opinion?C
A.The paperless classroom will be good for trees.
B.There are some differences between the paperless studies and those in the usual way.
C.Paper textbooks are no longer useful.
D.Paperfree studies are popular with more and more schools.
