5.Why Doesn't Anybody Copy Apple?
Apple's products are the envy of the world.They have been amazingly successful and are widely imitated,if not copied.The minute Apple launches a product,everyone knows how to compete.This idea that the basis of competition is set by Apple and then the race is on to climb the path of improvement is unquestionable.When Apple releases a product that defines a category or dramatically changes the structure of an industry,it becomes obvious what needs to be built.But what I wonder is why everyone wants to copy Apple's products but nobody wants to copy being Apple?
I can think of two reasons.Firstly,Apple is not worth copying because it's not successful; secondly,Apple's success cannot be copied because it is a magical process.
There is a great deal of evidence for the first assumption.The idea of Apple being successful is not something reflected in its stock price.Being valued lower than the average company in the S&P(标准普尔)500indicates that to whatever degree Apple was successful in the past,and it's not seen by the vast majority of observers as successful in the future.Why should one bother copying Apple if it results in being punished with a low valuation?If one works really hard at innovation and then that innovation becomes commoditized(商品化)very quickly,why should one bother?
When innovation practitioners are asked what makes Apple successful,the answers regarding the cause of this success border on the mythical.The fabulous part of this assumption is the"chief-sorcerer"theory of success which places one magician,like Steve Jobs,in charge of casting all the right spells(符咒).
What about Apple's own opinion of what makes it tick?Tim Cook refers to a great team and integration(一体)of hardware,software and services as unique Apple advantages.It's a better explanation.Integration is something that can take a long time,but it is possible with great effort.A few companies are starting to make moves in that direction,but efforts are half-hearted.There is no"move the Earth"feeling to become an integrated company from Samsung,Google or Microsoft.
My own suspicion is that Apple is more aware of what makes it special than it lets out.However,as Tim points out,it's not a formula.It's complex,it's subtle,but it's not magic.It's a process that requires a degree of faith and courage.

32.When a new product of Apple comes out,often itA.
A.starts a revolution of an industry
B.ruins an industry dramatically
C.puts itself in an unbeatable position

12.The practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past.With the coming of new technologies like computers and smartphone,writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill.However,while today's educators are using more and more technology in their teaching,many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.
    Virginia Beminger,professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington,says it's important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.
    Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand.The study,published in 2009,found that when writing with a pen and paper,participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.
    In a more recent study,Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student's writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write."Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary,word meaning and concepts.It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas."Berninger said.
    Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换)"those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,"the study said.Seeing the words in the"mind's eye"helps children not only to turn their ideas into words,says Berninger,but also to spot(发现)spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.
"In our computer age,some people believe that we don't have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,"she said."But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level,they won't have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer."

Thirdly,listen to the English news program over the radio from time to time.Better go through the news stories in the Chinese-language newspaper first.(39)F.
Fourthly,if you have time,listen to some interesting stories in some special English programs,such as VOA.or other listening materials of the same level as that of your textbook.

14.Motherhood may make women smarter and may help prevent dementia(痴呆) in old age by bathing the brain in protective hormones,U.S.researchers  reported on Thursday.
Tests on rats show that those who raise two or more litters of pups do considerably better in tests of memory and skills than rats who have no babies,and their brains show changes that suggest they may be protected against diseases such as Alzheimer's(早老痴呆症).University of Richmond psychology professor Craig Kinsley believes his findings will translate into humans.
"Our research shows that the hormones of pregnancy are protecting the brain,including estrogen,which we know has many neuroprotective (保护神经的) effects,"Kinsley said.
It's rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals,"he added in a telephone interview."They go through pregnancy and hormonal changes."
Kinsley said he hoped public health officials and researchers will look to see if having had children protects a woman from Alzheimer's and other forms of age-related brain decline.
"When people think about pregnancy,they think about what happens to babies and the mother from the neck down,"said Kinsley,who presented his findings to the annual meeting of the Society of Neuroscience in Orlando,Florida.
"They do not realize that hormones are washing on the brain.If you look at female animals who have never gone through pregnancy,they act differently toward young.But if she goes through pregnancy,she will sacrifice her life for her infant-that is a great change in her behavior that showed in genetic alterationsto the brain."

66.How do scientists know"Motherhood may make women smarter"?C
A.Some researchers have told them.
B.Many women say so.
C.They know it by experimenting on rats.
D.They know it through their own experience.
67.What can protect the brain of a woman according to the passage?B
A.Estrogen
B.The hormones of pregnancy.
C.More exercise.
D.Taking care of children.
68."It's rat data but humans are mammals just like these animals are mammals."What does the sentence suggest?C
A.The experiments on the rats have nothing to do with humans.
B.The experiments on the rats are very important for animals.
C.The experiments on the rats are much the same on humans.
D.The experiments on the rats are much the same on other animals.
