31、oy to us.CLast summer, I got a real taste of Swiss life when I spent six weeks with a host family in the Bernese Alps. After much preparation, my departure (出發(fā)) time finally arrived. I was pretty nervous. All I knew about my lost family was that it was made up of two parents and three kids. I knew I

32、 was staying in a place called Erlenbach in central Switzerland. Although I had read much about Switzerland, I really didnt know what to expect.My host father picked me up at the train station and drove me to Erlenbach, a beautiful mountain village. One of the best things about living with a host fa

33、mily was that I was not feeling like a tourist.I wasnt traveling around Europe, seeing the major sights; I was attracted by a different culture. I took part in my familys day-to-day activities such as helping pick berries in the warden or going to friends houses.While many parts of the Swiss culture

34、 are similar to Americas, there are lots of differences, too. Probably my biggest shock was the language.

35、d myself that I was in Switzerland, and then my unhappiness disappeared. I enjoyed every minute of my stay here above the clouds. I became more independent as a result of my six-week stay.Signing up (報名) for a cultural exchange is probably the biggest risk I have ever taken, but it is worth doing. I

39、rland?A. Difficult. B. Boring. C. Important. D. Satisfying.DWhen a baby cries, its parents will check on it as soon as they can and make sure it is okay. According to a new study, a babys cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related to the baby.Oxford University researchers u

40、sed the classic game whack- a-mole（打地鼠）for the study. Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine buttons. Players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons that lights up. It is a game that requires speed and accuracy（準確度）.The study invited 40 men and women aged 19 to 59. So

41、me of them had sons or daughters, although none of their children were babies. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsongs played at a similar pitch（高音） I to the babies cries.The volunteers scores were higher af

42、ter listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that hearing a crying baby can trigger a reaction in adults.“Its almost impossible to ignore crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around.” Said Morten

43、 Kringelbach, the scientist who led the study. He added than the course of human evolution (進化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry, it will cry. As a result, human brains develop a special reaction to a babys cry.（ ）48. According to the story, _

46、ped to take care of babies.C. Its hard for people not to notice babies criesD. Taking care of babies is the most important thing for adults.E“Whats the name of our neighbor? I cant remember right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think older peoples mem

47、ories become bad because their brains get weak. But a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a different idea.“The human brain works slower in old age,” said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, “but only because they have stored more information over time.”The findings are based

48、 on a series of computer simulations (模擬) of learning and memory.Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” only so much, its performance on cognitive (認知) tests is similar to a young adult. But if the computer learned the expe

49、riences we might encounter (經(jīng)歷) over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.Often it was slower because increased “experience” had caused the computers database (數(shù)據(jù)庫) to grow, giving it more data to process- which takes time.This is similar to old people.Imagine a person kn

50、ows two peoples birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person?The basic idea is that “The larger the library you have in your head,

51、 the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.（ ）52.
