But there was major stress in my life at that time: I was the only member of my family who spoke English, meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant, a waiter and so on. However, ther

19、e was another universal language I loved to learn as a child: art.Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school, I mostly dismissed art as a path to a career.

26、e source of energy to run. They differ from the majority of cars on the road today in several ways. The main difference is that HEVs run on gasoline and electricity. An HEV car has a battery-powered motor as well as an engine that runs on gasoline.A hybrid car is a bit more expensive to produce than

27、 a regular car even though its engine is smaller. The reason for the greater expense is that the engine is more complex. It has specialized mechanisms that allow it to operate using gasoline and electric power. It also contains a computer that works differently from those of regular cars. Even thoug

28、h it is more expensive to purchase, it costs less to own than gas-powered cars. When an HEV car is at a stoplight or going at a speed below 15 miles per hour, its special computer tells it to run just on electric power. When the computer senses that the car needs more power, it puts the gasoline eng

29、ine back to work. The computer is constantly deciding whether the car will use electricity, gas, or a combination of the two.Because the HEV has electric power to help it run, it uses much less fuel than most cars. In fact hybrid cars are the most fuel-efficient cars that exist today. They can get f

30、rom 50 to 60 miles per gallon on average. The high mileage saves money for the car owner and conserves precious supplies of petroleum. Hybrid cars help the environment in other ways too. For example, when the HEV is using electric power, it does not send out poisonous smoke that pollutes the air.Des

31、pite the differences between hybrid cars and regular cars, HEVs offer the same feel as regular cars. They handle the same way and speed up and stop in the same way too. HEVs, though, are generally smaller than gasoline-powered cars. Their rounded, aerodynamic(空氣動(dòng)力學(xué)的) frame helps add to their fuel ef

32、ficiency but unfortunately does not add to the amount of space inside the vehicle.28. Which statement best explains the characteristics of an HEV?A. Safe and reliable.B. High price, low carbon.C. Smaller engine, greater power.D. Expensive but long-lasting.29. The transformation between the gasoline

33、and electricity in an HEV is operated by _.A. the computerB. the batteryC. the engineD. the driver30. For what purpose was the HEV invented?A. To lower the expense of purchase.B. To provide better service.C. To save energy.D. To give the drivers a different feeling.31. Where does the passage probabl

34、y come from?A. A health report.B. A travel journal.C. A vehicle advertisement.D. A science magazine.DMusic is not just a set of sounds and rhythms. Its influence on the brain is much deeper than any other human experience. Keep on reading to know all those amazing powers of music.A recent study sugg

35、ests that preterm (早產(chǎn)的) babies appear to experience less pain and feed more when listening to music. Experts led by Dr. Manoj Kumar of the University of Alberta, Canada, found that music had a beneficial effect on reducing pain for preterm babies experiencing painful medical tests. It also appeared

36、to benefit full-term babies during operations.Many people experiencing brain damage have speech and movement-related problems. Music can help recover from brain injuries. As a different and effective treatment, doctors often advise such patients to listen to good music to improve the parts of the br

37、ain responsible for these two functions. When people with neurological (神經(jīng)的) disorders hear a musical beat, it helps them to regain a balanced walk.Though music cannot make deafness disappear, it really can stave off the loss of hearing. There was an experiment involving 163 people where 74 were mus

38、icians. Participants were asked to pass some listening tests. Musicians heard the sounds better than non-musicians, and this difference gets clearer with age. This means that a 70-year-old musician hears better than a 50-year-old non-musician, even in a noisy environment.Besides, music mends a broke

39、n heart. It is not about a thrown-away love, but about a heart attack. The matter is that music can help people recover from a heart attack or heart operation by reducing blood pressure, slowing down the heartbeat rate, and reducing anxiety.
