    One day,my mother took me to a restaurant for a lunch. There was an old man,wearing an old army jacket,which obviously behaved strange. The waitress was not patient and insisted the man showed her his money after she took his order. When we were checking in,the old man was in front of us,paying his bill. My mother reached out and paid his bill. She told the waitress not judge a man by his clothes. Besides,she told the waitress everyone should show respects for the old. The waitress went red and making an apology to the old man. I was proud of my mother,who always told myself to do the right thing.

   In a new study from the University of Iowa,

! researchers found that pigeoiis can categorize and name both nattffal and human-made objects — and not just a few objects. These birds categorized 128 photographs into 16 categories,and they did so simultaneously(同时地) .

   Ed Wasserman,UI professor of psychology and I corresponding author of the study,says the finding I suggests a similarity between how pigeons learn :words and the way children do. “Our pigeons were trained on all 16 categories simultaneously,a much closer analog(类似物) of how children leam words I and categories,” Wasserman says of the study,published online in the journal Cognition.

   For researchers like Wasserman,who has been;studying animal intelligence for decades,this latest!experiment is further proof that animals — whether primates(灵长目动物) ，birds,or dogs — are smarter than once assumed and have more to teach scientists.

   “As our methods have improved,so too have!our understanding and appreciation of animal ：intelligence ,” Wasserman says. “Differences between :humans and animals must indeed exist: many are already known. But,they may be outnumbered by ;similarities. Our research on categorization in pigeons;suggests that those similarities may even extend to i how children learn words."

   This time,researchers used a computerized version of the “name game” in which three pigeons were shown 128 black-and-white photos of objects from 16 basic categories. They then had to peck (啄) on one of two different symbols: the correct one for that photo and an incorrect one that was randomly chosen from one of the remaining 15 categories. The pigeons succeeded in learning the task.

   Pigeons have long been known to be smarter than average birds. Among their many talents,pigeons have a “homing instinct(本能) ” that helps them find their way home from hundreds of miles away. They have better eyesight than humans and have been trained to spot orange life jackets of people lost at sea.

   Wasserman acknowledges the recent pigeon study is not a direct analog of word learning in children and more work needs to be done. However,the model used in the study could lead to a better understanding of the associative principles involved in children's word learning. “That's the similarity that we are pursuing,but a single project — however creative it may be — will not be enough to answer such a big question ,” Wasserman says.

   Recently I read a post that teaches you to double your 41 speed and made the following claim:

   “42,the faster you can read,the more productive you can be. 43 you can double your reading speed,you can double your productivity.”

   I 44 . I think you should read slower,and focus on doing things slower. It increases your 45 ,which is a 46 definition of productivity from “doing things faster”.

   The post's argument was based on the 47 that every project involves a lot of reading — background materials,books,blog posts,and 48 . It didn't mention emails but that's another area where reading faster might seem more productive.

   And I 49 that if you can finish that kind of reading,you’ 11 get the project done faster. And then you can 50 the next task and the next and the next!You’re 51！

   But productivity isn’t about 52 ,even if we’ve been led to believe it is. It's about being effective. It's about accomplishing things — and that's about doing the most important things,not the 53 things.

   When we speed through tasks and projects,we lose perspective. We forget what’s 54 and just try to do things as 55 as possible.

   Instead,56 . Think about what’s most important,what needs to be done the most. Then clear everything else out of the way,and 57 . Do that one thing,but do it slowly,and do it very well.

   If reading is important,focus on it,and do it slowly. It’11 be much more 58 ,and so will the project. When you absolutely love what you re doing,productivity is a 59 by-product.

   So, slow down,don't speed up. Read slower — you’11 read less,60 enjoy it more.

   Life skills,unfortunately,is an abstract and broad term for the abilities one would need for full participation in everyday life. So recently,I did a casual survey among my friends. I asked how they would determine whether an individual has,say,good social skills.

   One said the language of such individuals would be grammatically correct and they would express their ideas clearly. Another said good eye contact was important. Yet another added to the list the ability to get along with people,not to take things personally and the ability to help others.

   If most adults have difficulty defining the positive behaviours that are necessary to life skills,how do we know if students have acquired them the way I can describe on a report card?

   Marlaine Paulsen Cover,founder of Parenting 2.0,has done just that.

   Cover created a communication tool called the Life Skills Report Card (LSRC) . Similar in format to academic report cards,the LSRC divides life skills into five primary categories: personal care,organisation,respect for self and others,communication,and social. Sub-categories on the LSRC include: sleep,exercise,spirit'safety,time utilization,finances,ownership in problems and conflicts,altruism (无私) , and environmental consciousness.

   She found that societies around the globe routinely supported children's active learning for music,sports,and academics. When it came to life skills,however,the popular perspective (观念) was simply “children learn what they live”.

   “Yet when children are poor in certain life skills,society is quick to pass a whole person judgment,” Cover says.

   Life skills are necessary,because — to quote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson — uto be what we are,and to become what we are capable of becoming,that is the only end of life”.

                The guy who tried to edit English 

   The English vocabulary is not only huge,it's also fiill of words that mean practically the same thing. Get,obtain,acquire. Shine,gleam,glow,sparkle. 36 

   That was the thinking of a British writer named C. K. Ogden,who in the 1930s proposed(提议) a new form of English with a vocabulary of just 850 words. He called the project Basic English. 37 

   Ogden arrived at his 850-word list through experimentation,rephrasing texts over and over until he was satisfied. The words he finally included were not necessarily the shortest or most concrete. 38 Because any verbal idea could be expressed with a small number of “operators” — words like come,go, get,take,have,make,be, and do — Ogden argued that most verbs were unnecessary. In Basic English, eat is “have a meal." is “go from memory."

   Winston Churchill was a fan of the concept as a way to get foreigners to speak English,and he encouraged the BBC to use it. 39 Roosevelt,who expressed mild interest,joked that Churchill's famous speech about offering his “blood,toil,tears,and sweat” to his country wouldn’t have been so exciting if he “had been able to offer the British people only blood,work,eye water,and face water,which I understand is the best that Basic English can do with five famous words."

   40 Churchill didn't use it either. When seeking to express ourselves,we don't necessarily need fewer words; we need the right words. So it's to our benefit to have a large supply on hand.

   A. Do we really need them all?

   B. How many words are there in English?

   C. Ogden himself didn't actually use Basic English.

   D. Plenty of seemingly basic words did not make the list at all.

   E. He also tried to persuade President Franklin Roosevelt to promote it.

   F. He believed it would make the language more efficient and easier to learn.

   G. Despite attention from world leaders,Basic English never got very far off the drawing board.

   In 1769,William Smith was bom in a little town in Oxfordshire,England. He received basic village schooling but mostly he wandered on his uncle's farm collecting the fossils in the rocks of the Cotswold hills. When he grew older Smith learned surveying from books and at 18 he learned from a local surveyor. He then began to teach himself geobgy (地质学) .

   When he was 24 ,he went to work for the company that was digging the Somerset Coal Canal in the south of England. This job gave Smith an opportunity to study the fresh strata created by the newly dug canal. He later worked on similar jobs across England all the while studying strata and collecting all the fossils he could find. Smith used mail coaches to travel 10 ,000 miles per year. In 1815 he published the first modem geological map UA Map of the Strata of England and Wales with a Part of Scotland”.

   In 1831 when Smith was recognized by the Geological Society of London as the “father of English geology”，it was not only for his maps but also for something even more important. People had hoped strata could be used to calculate geological time,but scientists found the sequences（顺序） of rocks sometimes differed from area to area and that no rock type was ever going to become a dependable time marker. Even without the problem of regional differences,rocks present a difficulty as unique time markers. Quartz （石英) is quartz; there's no difference between two-million-year-old quartz and quartz created over 500 million years ago.

   As he collected fossils from strata,Smith noticed the fossils told a different story from the rocks. Particularly in the younger strata the rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata,but he never had trouble telling the fossils apart. Some fossils appear in many strata,but others occur only in a few strata,and a few species had their births and extinctions within one particular stratum. Fossils are thus identifying markers for particular periods in Earth's history.

28. What do we know about young Smith?

   A. He spent most of his time reading.

   B. He showed much interest in geology.

   C. He learned surveying just by himself.

   D. He received a very good formal education.

29. Which can be used to describe Smith according to Paragraph 2 ?

   A. Adventurous and brave.

   B. Talented and productive.

   C. Warm-hearted and honest.

   D. Hard-working and devoted.

30. The author mentions quartz to show that .

   A. no rock can be a reliable time marker

   B. no quartz can be found in recent times

   G. quartz can fell people rocks,geological time

   D. the sequences of rocks differ from area to area

31. Which of the following is Smith's greatest achievement?

   A. He drew many maps of strata.

   B. He used fossils to identify strata.

   C. He built a lot of canals in England.

   D. He was the creator of modem geology.

   In a wheat field in France,a cat meets a black-bellied hamster(仓鼠) .Too far from her burrow(洞穴） to run for shelter,the wild hamster rises on her back legs to face her enemy. The cat backs away.“They’re afraid of nothing,says Alexandre Lehmamij a biologist who has worked with these wild hamsters for the past 12 years. “They fight against cats and dogs and even farmers. They try to fight against tractors." It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won’t go down without a fight. Because in France,where only 500 to 1,000 remain in the wild,they are in a fight for their lives.

   At the Stork and Otter Reintroduction Centre in Alsace,Lehmann and his colleagues breed captive hamsters and set the young hamsters free into the wild. But raising black-bellied hamsters isn't exactly easy. Remember,they have attitude. Forget humans 一 they don't even like each other. “You have to make sure the male and female don't kill each other ,” Lehmann says.

   Black-bellied hamsters might think of themselves as tough guys. But to a fox or an eagle,theyJ re just a four-legged snack. To survive,hamsters need to be set into a field with lots of leafy hiding places. That's a problem in Alsace,where most farmers plant com. The com hasn't sprouted(发芽） in early spring,when hamsters come out of their burrows from winter hibernation（冬眠）. In the bare fields the hamsters are easy targets for their enemies.

   Some older farmers don't want hamsters in their fields because of their reputation as crop-chewing pests. But most are willing to help,especially since the French government will pay farmers to grow early-sprouting crops such as alfalfa and winter wheat and allow hamsters to be set free on their lands. It's a way to protect not just the hamsters,but also other small animals in leafy fields.

24. By saying “It's a good thing that the black-bellied hamster won't go down without a fight” in Paragraph 1 ,the author means “ ”.

   A. The black-bellied hamsters are bom fighters

   B. The number of hamsters won’t go down quickly quickly

   C. It's good for the increase of hamsters’ population

   D. It's a quite great experience to see hamsters fighting 

25. Why is it hard to raise black-bellied hamsters?

   A. They will run into the wild.

   B. They are not fond of humans.

   C. The male and female won't live in peace.

   D. The male can't understand the female's attitude.

26. What problem do hamsters trying to survive in Alsace have?

   A. Their burrows are always taken by foxes.

   B. They are unable to feed themselves on com.

   C. Their winter hibernation is disturbed frequently.

   D. They are exposed to their enemies in early spring.

27. Those farmers who are willing to help hamsters will .

   A. plant more corn

   B. try to get rid of pests

   C. grow plants that shoot early

   D. separate them from other animals

  Twenty-six years ago,Chris Timmins became disabled in a car crash and her husband left her. She lost her job as a school teacher and had to fight 61. (get) it back. She also spent the next two years 62. (battle) with the State of California to get them to pay for a handicap van Thirteen years later,Chris 63.
