17、d in a thin glass box, and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the _37_ home.Shortly after the new _38_ were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew _39_ what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the an

Cinderella was the last to die; she did so while carrying a dead ant on her back. Although much time has passed, I still think of that

Working together, they were able to create a(n) _50_ world for themselves. I also learned that they should be _51_ for the

27、one of Americas first women astronauts. In fact, if you had asked her then what she wanted to be, she would have said, “I want to play shortstop (游擊手) for the Los Angeles Dodgers.” Sally collected baseball cards by the boxful, and she knew the name and batting average of every player in the National

28、 League.But major league baseball didnt seem much of a possibility for a girl, even an athletic one like Sally, so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve. At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket, but it wasnt long before she starte

29、d to win tournaments in her new sport. “Tennis became much more fun when I started winning,” Sally remembers. Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962 when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule. Sally was ten years old at the time, but she remembers th

30、e launch and the splashdown as if they happened yesterday. The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan. She quickly learned the name of all the eight NASA astronauts, the date of every launch, and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7 to Skylab 3. By the time s

31、he was sixteen, Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist. She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player. She remembers yawning through an important tennis match on June 20, 1969, after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrongs first steps on the moon. Sally lost the match. As Sally

32、got older, many of her friends started playing professional tennis. Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit. But Sally said no. “Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands,” she told them. Now she knows that she made the right ch

33、oice, but in 1970 Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women. When still a child, Sally Ride wanted to be a (an) _ when she grew up.

36、ore time you spend making your book, the more your project is likely to reflect your vision and your tastes.What is a wishbook?

Buy a Wishbook Together with Your Home B. Your Dream Home Is Only a Book AwayC. Wishbooks Offer a Lower BudgetD. Creating a Wishbook Is FunCIt

44、often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make

45、 a choice? Usually on the basis of an interview.There are many arguments about the interview as a selection procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate, but the one who makes a good first impr

46、ession on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants, there are many people of g

47、reat ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees.Those in favour of the interview insist that the well-structured procedure is valid in assessing a candidates ability, an essential g

48、uarantee for the future job. They also argue that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secretary so long as sh

49、e has a pleasant personality. Perhaps the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality, character and social ability. Today, interview is still the key section of the entire selection pro

50、cedure, though different employers have different standards for competence. Generally speaking, candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straight-forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely en

51、thusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite

52、or rudely abrupt. We can infer from the passage that an employer might tolerate his secretarys occasional mistakes if the latter is _.A. directB. shyC. cheerfulD. competentWhat is the authors attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Objective.D. Unconcerne

53、d.The last paragraph indicates _.A. a link between success in interview and personalityB. connections between work abilities and personalityC. differences in interview experienceD. differences in personal behaviour Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?P 2Sp 2Sp 1CP 1CPP 1CPSp 2C

Now, a new study reported online on April 2nd in Current Biology s

55、hows that jackdawsbirds related to crows with eyes that appear similar to human eyescan do the same.“Jackdaws seem to recognize the eyes role in visual perception, or at the very least they are extremely sensitive to the way that human eyes are oriented(朝向),” said Auguste von Bayern, formerly of the

56、 University of Cambridge and now at the University of Oxford.When presented with a preferred food, hand-raised jackdaws took significantly longer to get the reward when a person was directing his eyes towards the food than when he was looking away, according to the research team led by Nathan Emery

57、of the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London. The birds hesitated only when the person was unfamiliar and thus potentially threatening.In addition, the birds were able to interpret human communicative gestures, such as gaze alternation and pointing, to help them find hidden foo

58、d, they found. The birds were unsuccessful in using unmoving cues, including eye gaze or head orientation.Unlike most birds, jackdaws eyes have a dark pupil surrounded by a silvery white iris. The researchers said they believe jackdaws are probably sensitive to human eyes because, as in humans, eyes

59、 are an important means of communication for them. The hand-raised birds examined in the study may be even better than wild jackdaws at attending to human gaze and responding to the gestures of the people who have raised them.The findings are particularly notable given that most other species invest

60、igated so far, including our closest relatives the chimpanzee and “mans best friend,” the dog, are not particularly sensitive to eye orientation and eye gaze, von Bayern said. Rather, she continued, chimps and dogs seem to rely on other cues such as head or body orientation in determining the lookin
