17．Graffiti is a common feature of most Western cities．The word graffiti was from the Greek word，graphein，which only meant writing．These days，however，the word means drawing or writing on the walls of buildings，or on public transportation，such as trains and buses．
Graffiti，as a form of expression，was born in New York during the 1960s and 1970s．At that time，a new modern culture about city life appeared．Graffiti was a written form of expression of that life．Later，it was mixed with a musical form called hip-hop that was another expression of the city life．
At first，graffiti artists used pens．But then，with the development of graffiti，they became experienced．They turned to using cans of spray paint （喷漆）．Spray paint allowed them to cover a greater area．And it also allowed them to work quickly，which was an advantage when they worked in neighbourhoods where graffiti wasn't welcome．
At the present time，different people have different ideas about graffiti．Some people say it makes the cities dirty．It isn't allowed by many local governments in the United States．The governments spend more than a million dollars a year cleaning graffiti．The money，they say，could be better spent on health or education．Other people think that it is a form of art．In fact，the works of some famous graffiti artists can be found in museums，galleries，and art books．

16．A Nobel Prize is considered by most people one of the highest international honours a person can receive．As you know，the prizes were started by a Swede called Alfred Nobel．He was born in Stockholm，the capital of Sweden．Alfred Nobel was a great scientist．He made two important inventions，and so he became very rich．Although he was rich，Nobel was not a happy man．He never married or had children．Also，he was a sick man during his large part of life．When he died at the age of 63，he left a fund of﹩9，000，000．The money was to be used in giving prizes to those who made great achievements in physics，chemistry（化学），medicine and literature（文学），and for world peace．The first Nobel Prizes were given on December 10，1901，five years after Nobel's death．Since then many famous people from all over the world have been given Nobel Prizes for their achievements．
      Each prize has three parts．The first part is a gold medal．Second，a winner of a Nobel Prize is given a certificate saying that he has been given the prize．The third part of the prize is a large amount of money about﹩40，000．
Often a prize is given to just one person，but not always．Sometimes a prize is shared．It may be given to two or more people who have worked together．It is also sometimes true that a prize is not given at all if there is no great achievement．In 1972，for example，no Nobel Peace Prize was given．

14．If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before，it might be a comet （彗星）．
A comet sometimes looks like a star．Like a planet，a comet has no light of its own．It shines from the sunlight it reflects （反射）．Like the earth，a comet goes round the sun，but on a much longer path （轨道） than the earth travels．
If a comet isn't a star，what is it then？
Some scientists think mat a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock．When sunshine melts（融化） the ice in the comet，great clouds of gas go trailing after it．These clouds，together with the dust，form a long tail．
Many people perhaps have seen a comet．However no one knows how many comets there are．There may be millions of comets，but only a few come close enough for us to see．
An Englishman named Edmund Halley，who lived from 1656to 1742，found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky．Some comets move out of our sight and never come back．Others keep coming back at regular times．A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because he was the one who worked out when it would come back again．Maybe you have ever seen Halley's Comets because the last time it came close to the sun and the earth was in the year 1986．Then people all over the world were outside at night to look at it．You will probably be able to see Halley's Comets when it comes near the earth again．

11．You may know the English letters A，B and C．But do you know there are people called ABCs？Do you know there is such a thing as"a banana person"？How strange!ABC means American-born Chinese．An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the United States．Sometimes，people call an ABC a"banana person"．A banana is yellow outside．So，when a person is a"banana"，he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese．
Usually，ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language．Some of them don't speak Chinese．But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course．They are overseas（海外的）Chinese．These people may be citizens（公民）of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore．But they have Chinese blood．Their parents，grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China．They all have black eyes and black hair．
But they are not Chinese citizens． They are people of the People's Republic of China．For example，we all know the famous scientist C．N．Yang（杨振宁）．He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957．Chinese people love him．But he is an American citizen．

10．According to scientists'research，the month in which babies are born could affect them in some ways．
Babies born in spring get sick easily．Children born under Aquarius （Jan.21^st-Feb.19^th ） may be less clever than those born in other seasons．They may also have shorter lives than those born in autumn．Scientists believe many of the differences can be explained by the mother's exposure（暴露） to sunlight in pregnancy（怀孕）．Sunlight helps lead to the production of vitamin D in the body．The lack（缺乏） of vitamin D in the first months of life may have a bad effect on health．
Vitamin D is called the"sunshine vitamin"．It has a good effect on health．A study showed that people born from April to June had slightly shorter lives than those born in October，November or December．Similar Studies in the US showed that people born in autumn lived about 160days longer than those born in spring．
Professor Russell Foster said the conclusions were surprising and interesting．He added，"These are small effects but they are very，very clear．I am not giving voice to star signs and they are just for fun．But it is true that we are affected by our season of birth．"

66．A child's season of birth can affect all the following things EXCEPTB according to the first two paragraphs．
A．his health

9．Can trees talk？Yes-but not in words．Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate （交流） with each other．Not long ago，scientists learned some surprising things．When caterpillars （毛毛虫） come to eat a willow tree （柳树），the tree changed its leaves and made them taste so bad that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them．The even more amazing，the tree sent out special information telling its neighbours to change their own leaves and make them less tasty．
Communication，of course，doesn't need to be always in words．We can talk to each other by smiling，raising our shoulders and moving our hands．We know that birds and animals use their words of songs，sounds，and movements．Bees dance their signals （信号），flying in certain patterns （模样） that tell other bees where to find nectar （花蜜） for honey．So why shouldn't trees have ways of sending messages？
