The Owl Count

Annie slept in the front of the seat with her father drove through the darkness. ”We’re almost there!” Dad announced cheerfully. “Soon well be observing and counting owls at the state park.” Yawning， Annie nodded and smiled. The time was 4:30 a.m. Looking out into the darkness， Annie remembered learning in school that most owls are active at night，when they hunt for food. During the day they sleep in hard-to-find spots.

“Dad， why do you need to count owls?” she asked. “It’s important for the scientists to have current information about bird populations，” he explained. “We want to know which birds have decreased in number and whether any new kinds of birds are coming into a certain area. You and I will write down the kinds of birds that we see today and keep a record of how many times we see each kind. The we’ll send out a report to a scientific organization that is collecting about birds from people all over the county.”

Dad pulled into the parking lot of the state park. Then，with flashing in hand，they began their hike into the woods. Annie zipped up her coat and tried to keep from trembling. She had not expected the morning to be so frigid. Luckily her gloves were in her pocket.

Suddenly Annie’s father stooped and gestured for her to be still. Obeying，Annie did not take another step. She thought she heard a low crying up head. “That’s certainly a screech owl，” her father whispered. “Let’s get a look at it.” After looking more closely，Annie could see that it was a small owl. Sensing danger，the owl narrowed its eyes and pulled its feathers tightly against its body. Annie carefully wrote down in her notebook that they had seen a screech owl.

Walking a little farther，they came to a tall oak tree. “This looks like a perfect spot to attract owls，” Dad said. “I’m going to play a recording of common call of the barred owl. Maybe we can get one to answer.’ Annie could hardly believe her ear. The recorded all sounded as if the bird were asking，“who cooks for you?” Moments later Annie thought she heard a return call in distance. She held her breath and waited. Suddenly a huge bird landed very quietly on a branch above them.

Annie had long forgotten how cold it was. She stood in wonder，shining her flashlight on the bird and studying it carefully. The barred owl was nearly tow feet tall. Gray feathers surrounded its dark eyes. The bird did not matter. Annie would never forge the image of the powerful barred owl.

1.Why did Annie and her father go to the state park?

Many years before I failed the entrance exam and had to go to a ordinary college. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, I found the teachers patiently to me. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere of classroom. Later, I decided to treasure for my college time. I worked hard but got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they are always available. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, that greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated. My experience tells me that it is what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who you are.

A new study finds that our brains are wired to make music-color connections depending on how the music makes us feel. Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major” is most often associated with bright yellow and orange, whereas his “Requiem in D Minor” is linked to bluish gray, the findings revealed.

US researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, enlisted nearly 100 subjects for a study on music and color. With 37 colors, the UC Berkeley study found that people tend to pair faster-paced music in a major key with lighter, more vivid, yellow colors, whereas slower-paced music in a minor key is more likely to be teamed up with darker, grayer, bluer colors.

“Surprisingly, we can predict with 95 percent accuracy how happy or sad the colors people pick will be based on how happy or sad the music is that they are listening to,” said lead author and UC Berkeley vision scientist Stephen Palmer.

In three experiments, the subjects listened to 18 classical music pieces that varied in pace (slow, medium, fast) and in major VS minor keys. In the first experiment, participants were asked to pick five of the 37 colors that best matched the music to which they were listening. Separately, they rated each piece of music on a scale of happy to sad, strong to weak, lively to dull, and calm to angry.

Next, the research team plans to study particiapants in Turkey where traditional music employs a wider range of scales than just major and minor. “We know that in Mexico and the US the responses are very similar,” Palmer said. “But we don’t yet know about China or Turkey.”

1.What can we know about Mozart’s “Flute Concerto No. 1 G Major”?

A. It is fast in pace.

B. It is slow in pace.

C. It makes us feel upset.

D. It makes us feel optimistic.

2.What did the US researchers find from the result of the new study?

A. There are colors that do not match any music.

B. People tend to connect happy colors to slow-paced music

C. There is a one-to-one connection between music and color.

D. People nearly do the same in picking colors for different music.

3. How did the researchers do the research?

A. By making predictions.

B. By researching journals.

C. By conducting experiments.

D. By studying famous musicians.

4.According to the text, the research mainly deals with __________

A. how colors or music influence our emotions

B. how emotions affect music-color connections

C. why we have different feelings towards music

D. why we have different feelings towards colors

Weird Homes We All Wish We Live in

Your home is one of the biggest purchases you’re going to make in your entire life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t live somewhere you enjoy. If you’re looking for the weird, the wonderful, or just odd, then these houses are the top of the list.

Upside Down

Like the previous upside down home, this is the type of concrete house that is more interesting to really see from the outside than it is to actually live there. The door is near the top. If you want to live here, you are going to have to deal with the crowds exploring daily.

Satellite Home

Having an entire side of your house made of glass is just asking for a rock to be thrown by the local children. However, it also offers the best view surrounding the scenic home. The inside appeared to be separated into multiple tiers, with each tier broken down into various rooms.

UFO House

This home is located within Taiwan at present. For those who have wondered what it would be like to be kidnapped by aliens and forced to live within their ship for a few years, this house should offer some similar experience.

New Age Tree Fort

If you grew up a flower child, then chances are you either adapted that lifestyle into your own or would prefer to forget it. If it’s the former, then the tree fort-style home would be perfect to live within. It’s centered perfectly in the middle of a forested area, supported by metal beams, and built from strong wood.

1.Why can Satellite Home offer the best view around itself?

A. Because its outside is very interesting.

B. Because one side of this house is made of glass.

C. Because viewers can stand on its door near the top of the house.

D. Because it is centered in the middle of a forest.

2.The underlined word “kidnapped” probably refers to “___________”.

A. taken away B. let down

C. helped out D. brought up

3.What building materials are used for these weird homes according to this passage?

① Concrete ② Rock ③ Metal ④ Wood

A. ①②③. B. ①③④. C. ②③④. D. ①②④.

Beat Summer Learning Loss

Summer learning loss is a loss of knowledge and skills most commonly due to long breaks during the summertime. Many teachers have certainly had the experience of taking the first month of school not only to introduce his or her rules and procedures to the class but also to get the kids back “up to speed” with thinking, remembering what they’ve learned and in many cases, reviewing previous content. 1.

(1)Read!

Research supports the relationship between independent reading and student achievement, so simply having children read daily will make a positive difference. 2. public libraries, local bookstores, online stores, etc.

(2)Write!

Have children write letters to out-of-town friends and family, or write postcards while on vacation. 3. For children who are good at drawing or painting, parents may choose to create a family scrapbook(剪贴簿) with words printed below pictures. Not only will parents keep this summer’s memories, but children will also continue to practice his or her writing skills!

(3)Do the Math!

4. have a yard sale, and put children in charge of the cash box; help younger ones organize an orange juice stand (to practice salesmanship and making change). Or simply buy a set of inexpensive flash cards to practice basic facts while waiting in line or on a long car ride. There are even a host of free online games that will keep children’s math skills sharp.

(4) “Homeschool” Children.

Keeping children’s skills fresh doesn’t have to cost a fortune: check out some workbooks and online resources, and children can work through several exercises each day. Even as little as twenty minutes a day can have amazing results. 5. For instance, children can learn something during a car ride, right before bedtime, etc.

Of course, parents don’t need to do all the steps here. Just following through with one or two of these ways will be of great help.

A. Think of ways children can use math skills in daily activities:

B. A summer journal is another way to set down summer activities.

C. What’s more, it’s easy to work in a small block of time here and there.

D. Check out the following sources to find books that your child will want to dive into.

E. So it’s not a good choice for parents to force children to spend their summertime learning knowledge.

F. Fortunately, there are some steps parents can try to help children both enjoy the summer and keep their skills fresh.
