     Once a baby cries, the parents will go to see what happened as soon as possible. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react(反应) very quickly, even if they are not related.
     Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole for the study.  Whack-a-mole(打鼹鼠游戏) requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). The players must react as quickly as they
can to whichever of the buttons lights up at random(随机). It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度 ).
    The study included 40 men and women volunteers aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters but none had a baby at the time. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including
babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsong played at a similar pitch to the babies' cries.
    The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had
similar scores overall. The results showed that a crying baby gets special attention.
    "Few sounds make people react quite like the cry of a baby," said Morten Kringelbach of Oxford's
psychiatry(精神病学) department, who led the study. "For example, it's almost impossible to ignore(忽视,不理) crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around."  
     He added that a baby's cry can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure. This is understandable,
because in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job
for adults. When a baby is hungry or feeling bored or unwell, it will cry. As a result, human brains and
bodies develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.  
1.According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. There were 80 volunteers who took part in the study.
B. The youngest volunteer was 19 and the oldest was 59.
C. Some volunteers had babies at that time in the study.
D. The volunteers were affected by the sound of a baby's cry.
2. The game "whack-a-mole" shows ______.
A. a baby's cry can get special attention from adults
B. men and women have different reaction speed and accuracy
C. adults without babies react less quickly to a baby's cry
D. women react to a baby's cry more quickly than men
3. "Whack-a-mole" requires people to hit _____ at a time.
A. one button
B. one of nine buttons
C. nine buttons
D. ten buttons
4. According to the passage, a baby's cry ______.
A. has the same pitch as birdsong
B. is the noisiest sound there is
C. can increase adults' heart rate and blood pressure
D. is good for its health
5. From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
A. taking care of the younger babies was the most important thing in the past
B. human brains and bodies have developed to take care of babies
C. baby cries are a good way make adults react quickly
D. baby cries have developed a lot during the course of human evolution

     On July 23rd, 1993, Wang Jiapeng lost his legs when his plane crashed. Wang was only 12 years old.
     "I felt I was the unluckiest person in the world," says Wang."When I saw students with their schoolbags
on their backs, the sound of my wheelchair made me sick."
     Wang's mother took him to a special hospital in Beijing. She looked after him in the daytime and worked
at night to make money. But after two years, Wang was still not able to leave the hospital. Wang's mother
became too tired to go on and one day she herself became a hospital patient!
     One morning she woke up and saw her son holding breakfast for her. Wang's trip to the food shop was
his first time outside the hospital in two years. The five-minute walk took him thirty minutes. But he was
finally able to make an important decision."I didn't care how other people looked at me," he says."I had to
learn to do things myself."
     For the next few years, Wang taught himself all his middle school subjects in the hospital and, five years
after the accident, he won a chance to study in a college in Norway. Wang learned to drive, go rock climbing
and ski. He even won two gold medals for skiing in an international skiing competition.
     "You are what you think you are," says Wang. "If you think you're disabled, you are. If you don't think so,
you aren't."

     On a very hot day, it is hard to know what to do to feel good. If you run around, you may feel sick in
your stomach. However, if you just sit quietly and do nothing, you may feel bored. Are there things you
can do to feel good and have fun when you're hot?
     Perhaps playing in water is a good choice to make you cool down. Taking a cool bath or shower, or
even washing toys in a pan of cool water can also make you feel good on a hot day. Besides, you can read
stories or paint in front of a fan. You don't need to move your body very much. These are just some of the
cool things to do on a hot day.
     In addition, it's important for you to drink water. On hot days, you can lose about 16 glasses of water
in one day. If you feel thirsty, you are already short of water. So don't wait for thirst before you start to
drink. You should try to drink as much water as you lose every day. Mixing a little fruit juice into your
water is a fun way to help you drink plenty of water.
     The food you eat also makes a difference in how you feel in the heat. Cold foods such as ice cream and
drinks with some ice can cool down your bodies. Fruits and vegetables are also helpful to stay cool in hot
weather. So plan a healthy menu for a hot day---one that doesn't need any cooking.

    On the first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone
we didn’t know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder(肩膀). “Hi, girl!
My name is Rose, I’m 87 years old.”

counts for young men,” she added.
