You either have it , or you don’t –a sense of direction ,that is.But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map ,while others can lose themselves in the next street?

       Scientists say we’re all born with a sense of direction ,but it is not property understood how it works.One theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it.Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don’t use it.we lose it.

       “Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around.” says Jim Mart land.Research Director of the project.“However if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car ,they never develop the skills”

       Jim Mart land also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction.He makes the following suggestions.

       ●If you are using a map ,turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.

       ●If you leave your bike in a strange place ,put it near something like a big stone or a tree.

Note landmarks on the route as you go away from your bike.When you return ,go back

along the same route

       ●Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town,

streams ,or walls in the countryside to guide you.Count your steps so that you know how

far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tower blocks or hills which can help to

find out where you are.

Thousands of dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in an Arkansas town on New Year’s Eve after massive injuries, tests by Arkansas officials concluded on Monday. Some 5,000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas after dark on New Year’s Eve. “The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage(大量出血) and death. There was no sign of infectious disease,” the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement. The birds were otherwise healthy, it said.

One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year's fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects. “Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,” the statement said, adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.

  Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area. “We’re leaning more toward a stress event," said Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens.

The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000 fish over a 20-mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark, 125 miles west of Beebe. The fish were discovered on December 30. Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month. Since almost all the fish were one species -- bottom-feeding drum, Stephens said, the test was very important. Stephens also said: “The events do not appear related.” Both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins(毒素). Beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital.

What is NOT the probable reason why the dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky?

A. Internal hemorrhage                B. Fireworks

C. Lightning weather                          D. Murder

In the third paragraph, the underlined word discounted probably mean________.

A. not to reduce cost                           B. not to believe

C. to make up a part                          D. to explain mystery

According to Stephens, we can infer the probable cause of the dead fish is _________.A. cold weather                                  B. poor management  

C. disease                                         D. lack of food

The passage is mainly developed by __________.

A. analyzing causes                           B. making comparisons

C. examining differences                    D. following the time order

Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.

The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2010. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.

Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.

Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.

The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
