It is peaceful and quiet, and it

25、is situated in a very attractive valley. There are also several beautiful countryside walks in the surroundings, with a view of many rare trees and plants.Most of the people who live in Haldersham have moved here from other places, often from London and other big cities. They have bought houses here

26、 to live in a place far away from the noise and the stress of the big city. They paid a lot of money for their houses, but they knew they would get a high quality of life for it.If the planned motorway is built, life in Haldersham will change greatly.There will be a lot of noise around us, and nobod

27、y will want to go on the walks. House prices will certainly go down, because nobody will want to buy houses in a place close to a motorway. Haldersham will become an ugly place.I don t t hink any of the people living in this beautiful village want that, and we all believe exposure to noise pollution

28、 can have a direct influence on our health . So, let s all tell the politicians who support the motorway plans what we think about them!Yours faithfully,Hilary RileyHilary RileyMany people move to Haldersham because.it has a good environmentit is not far away from big citiesthey want to be a help to

To offer suggestions on building the motorway.What a Scientist Is LikeIf you were asked to imagine a scientist, what image （形象 ） would come toyour mind? The common idea that most kids from kindergarten through college have of a scient

31、ist is a man wearing a white lab coat with messy hair, big glasses, and several glass cups of mysterious colorful liquids giving off clouds of smoke. As for adults, the majority view scientists as strange people who spend 100 hours a week slaving away in a lonely laboratory. However, the reality is

32、quite different.Recentl y I ve had a chance to take part in a scientific experience far from my laboratory and into Costa Rica. It supports a huge amount of wildlife due to its geographical placement between North and South America. It is home to more than 500,000 species （ 物種 ）, which represents ne

33、arly 4%of the total species worldwide!First we worked alongside conservationists to preserve wildlife at a leatherback turtle （ 棱皮龜 ） rescue center. Wehelped the volunteers preserve turtle populations by removing rubbish from the shoreline to create a safe environment for turtle eggs to comeout. Aft

34、er that we stayed at Mount Arenal where we studied seismic activity relating to earthquakes. During our stay at Arenal, we rode over the mountainous areas and took a long walk through the rainforest. After reaching the top, we went down and through waterfalls to the beautiful valley below! On the la

35、st day we got a hands-on introduction to rocket science where we learned about new rocket technology that will be used on the international space station.During my Costa Rica experience, I know that being a scientist doesn t mean working in a lab all day and night. A scientist is one who loves learn

36、ing and getting a better understanding of the world from helping preserve wild-life, learning about earthquakes or inventing rockets. I think that schools should really stress that science is so much more than wearing a lab coat and mixing chemicals. Kids need to be aware of the excitement and adven

37、tures science can bring!According to the first paragraph, scientists are often believed .A. to work as slavesto behave in a strange wayto spend too much time in labsto do experiments in messy labsThe author helped to preserve the turtle population by.creating a safe nest for turtlespicking up rubbis

39、dlife and earthquakes.Why does the author write this passage?To encourage kids to study science.To tell the story of traveling in Costa Rica.To expect more people to travel in Costa Rica.To share the secrets behind science phenomena.CMost of us have gone away from “mad mein in the street, only to re

40、alize that they are in fact using a Bluetooth headset. Now a new University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people find lostobjects in other words, saying the nameof an object helps you find it more quickly.Previous work has suggested that speaking aloud while performing

41、 step-by-step tasks, like tying shoelaces （鞋帶），can help kids guide their behavior andlet them focus on the job in hand. However, scientists were not sure if speaking aloud when performing tasks could help adults in the same way, especially when looking for particular objects. Professor Gary Lupan an

42、dDaniel Swingley, writing for the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, carried out some experiments. They hoped to give the fact that next time you lose your keys, muttering keys, keys, keys“ can in fact help you find them.Inspired by viewing people muttering to themselves as they try to fi

43、nd things like peanut butter in a supermarket, the researchers conducted two experiments to see if this actually worked. In the first, participants were shown 20 pictures of various objects and were asked to find a certain one, with someseeing a text label （標簽）telling them what they were looking for

44、. These participantswere then asked to search for the object again while sayingthe word to themselves, with results showing that saying it aloud helped people find the object more quickly.The second experiment saw participants performing a shopping task, where they were shown photographs of items （物

45、品）commonlyfound on supermarket shelves. They were asked to find all examples of a particular item, so if they were asked for apples they had to find all the bags of apples, as quickly as possible. The researchers found that there was also an advantage in saying the name of the product aloud when the

46、y were searching for something familiar.The University of Pennsylvania study shows that muttering can actually help people reach the target object in other words, muttering to oneself helps to focus the mind on something. It works more effectively than seeing a written description. Repeating the wor

47、d over and over again helps even more.The second paragraph tells us that.muttering helps people to control their behaviormuttering has the same effect on both kids and adultsit is really hard to carry out the experiments on adultsit is easier for kids to do step-by-step tasks by mutteringAccording t

48、o the passage, muttering can help people in a way that .it completely controls people s mindit directly explains people s behaviorthey concentrate more on their job at handthey reduce their pressure from their mindThe two experiments mentioned in the passage show that .participants were better at do

50、o YourselfMethods of Remembering ObjectsDWhy I ve taken a break from holidaysIt is now close to four years since I last took a holiday. This is becauseI have come to the conclusion, over the course of my adult life, that I amnot very good at it. You might think this sounds l ike saying you re not ve

51、ry good at drinking tea or listening to music. What could possibly be difficult about the natural act of putting your working life on hold for a couple of weeks and going somewhere warm to do nothing?I was a model holidaymaker as a kid. However, the problems started during my twenties. A trip to the

52、 south of France was ended after just two days, mainly because I had an urge to check my e-mails. Similarly, my honeymoon was cut short by 48 hours not because my wife and I weren t enj oying ourselves, but because we were missing our cats.So what is my problem? On the surface, I m probably a bit of

53、 a homebody. And I just find the pressure of being on holiday too severe: it always feels like having a gun held to myhead and being forced to have fun. Somehowpacking a list of possessions and meeting a scheduled flight has none of the excitement of suddenly deciding to take a day off and driving s

54、omewhere for the fun of it.Thankfully, I m not alone. This summer, most of my friends have decided not to have a break. And a recent survey （ 調查）proved the downside of holidays, with the results showing that nearly two thirds of people found that the calming effects of a holiday wore off within 24 h

55、ours, as stress levels returned to normal. And this year The Idler magazine published its Book of Awful Holidays . Here you will find a list of the five most ecologically- damaging vacations it s possib le to take, along with 50 painful holiday experiences voted for on The Idler website.What interes

56、ts me is what the concept of a aholiday ” says about our lives. For me, the point of living is to have a life you enjoy for 52 weeks a year.The more I like my life and the better I structure it, the less I want to go away. May be I m an unusual person for not liking holidays, but I just feel the tim

57、e when I m not working is too valuable to waste on them.The events the author describes in the second paragraph show.how hard he has tried to enjoy holidayshow badly he behaves when he is on holidayhis lack of enthusiasm for being on holidayhis fear of something bad when he is on holidayWhat does th

58、e author think of holidays?They are often well organized in order to please other people.He feels embarrassed when other people are having fun but he isn t .He tends to be made responsible for too much of the organization of them.They are less enjoyable than breaks that have not been planned in adva
