While others had Cokes and candy for lunch, I had to eat a sandwich. 2 you can guess, my supper was different from the other kids too. But at 3 , I wasnt alone since my sister and two brothers had the same mean(刻薄的) mother as I did.My

6、mother knew where we were at all times. She had to know who our friends were and 4 we were doing. And she always insisted upon us telling the truth. Now you can see how mean she was.The worst is yet to come. We had to be in 5 by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We couldnt sleep 6 no

7、on like our friends. So while they slept, she made us work. We had to wash dishes, make beds, and learn to cook. We had to wear clean clothes and take a bath every day. I believe she lay 7 at night thinking of mean things to do to us.Through the years, things didnt 8 a bit. When we didnt want to 9 s

His hobby is writing. 3 the summer of 2000, he spent four weeks on a summer ca

She is quiet but alert（警覺）. The research

16、ers have placed a white card with two black spots on it twenty centimeters from her face. She stares at it carefully.A researcher removes the card and replaces it by another one, this time with the spots differently spaced. As the cards change from one to the other, her gaze（凝視）starts to lose its fo

17、cus until a third card is presented. The third card has three black spots on it. Her gaze returns: she looks at it for twice as long as she did at the previous card. Can she tell that the number two is different from three, just 24 hours after coming into the world? Or do newborns simply prefer more

18、 to fewer?The same experiment, but with three spots shown before two, shows the same return of interest when the number of spots changes. Perhaps it is just the newness? When a little older babies were shown cards with pictures of objects (a comb, a key, an orange and so on), changing the number of

19、objects had an effect separate from changing the objects themselves. Could it be the pattern that two things make, as opposed to three? No again.Babies paid more attention to squares moving randomly on a screen when their number changed from two to three, or three to two. The effect even crosses bet

20、ween senses. Babies who were repeatedly shown two spots became more excited when they then heard three drumbeats （鼓聲）than when they heard just two; likewise（同樣地）when the researchers started with drumbeats and moved to spots.1The experiment described in Paragraph 1 is mainly about the babys _.Asense

24、on land animals are killed every year for food in the United States, and about 58 billion are killed around the world. Whats more, this does not even include wild animals.How many animals are killed for experiments? From 17 million to 100 million! The numbers are difficult to tell because most anima

25、ls used in experiments are not reported.How many animals are killed for fur? Every year, over 40 million animals are killed for fur around the world. About 30 million animals are raised on fur farms and killed, about 10 million wild animals are killed for fur, and this does not include sea animals a

During mindfulness training, students may be asked to sit quietly and observe their own thoughts and feelings to avoid being controlled

31、 by them. Mindfulness training can help students overcome anxiety (焦慮), control their behavior, and improve their ability to pay attention in class. Students are expected to learn how to meditate in order to reduce stress and do better in their schoolwork.Among schools that already teach meditation,

32、 the results have been positive. In one study, teachers reported that after five weeks of mindfulness practice, their students were more focused. They also participated more fully in class. A middle school in San Francisco reported that a student meditation program led to higher attendance rates and

33、 better grades. Another study suggested that meditation helped students perform better on tests by improving their working memory and reducing their anxiety. Many supporters believe that meditation training programs can also help students overcome stress. For example, Headstand is a mindfulness educ

34、ation program designed to help students overcome anxiety. A study concluded that ninety-eight percent of participating students felt less stressed after they completed the Headstand program. In another study, researchers in New Haven, Connecticut, followed students who participated in meditation and

35、 yoga classes three times a week. They found that after each class, participants had lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone (激素), in their bodies.Despite the positive results seen so far, critics also point out that much of the current research is not rigorous(嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)? enough. Associate Professor Ta

36、mar Mendelson agrees that research on meditation in children is still in its early stages. However, even she insists that she has seen the positive impact of meditation on children. Others express worries that meditation is not a valuable use of class time. But many disagree. Denise Pope, a professo

37、r from the Stanford University, says, “This is something teachers can do immediately. You get a lot of bang for your buck and anyone who is against it isnt thinking clearly.” Indeed, additional studies will surely strengthen our understanding of the benefits of mindfulness.Although still in its earl

38、y stages, research shows that meditation can help students learn to deal with anxiety and stress. As an added bonus, students of mindfulness training also report better concentration and gains in their academic performances. Therefore, meditation should be a part of every students school day. Partic

39、ipating in “stillness” can be just as productive as other school-related activities.1Why do some schools introduce mindfulness training into classes?ATo control students working memory.BTo reduce students stress and anxiety.CTo increase students attendance rates.DTo research students thoughts and fe

43、hing them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that its different for plants. A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants dont “l(fā)ike” to be touched. Thats because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.Profe

44、ssor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experimen

45、t on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period. They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (線粒體) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are

46、 the “powerhouse of the cell (細(xì)胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching

47、 is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but its not necessarily a bad change.According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow s

48、horter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants response to touching. And the research might “open u

49、p new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.1Why did the scientists do the experiment?ATo test if touching can change the genes of plants.BTo show that plants and animals genes are different.CTo tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.

50、DTo find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.2What did the scientists find in their experiment?ARepeated touching shortened the plants life by four weeks.BTouching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.CRepeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to

51、.DMitochondria in the plants couldnt produce energy because of touching.3What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?AThe plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.BThe plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.CThe plants will be less sensitive

Among them, calligraphy (書法), poetry (詩(shī)歌) and painting were the most famous. Often they would be put together in art. These became import

59、ant starting with the Song Dynasty.Calligraphy is the art of handwriting. In the old time, the Chinese considered writing as an important form of art. Calligraphers would practise for years to learn to write perfectly, but with style. Each of over 40, 000 characters (漢字) needed to be written correct

60、ly. And each stroke (筆畫) in a character had to be written in a certain order.Poetry was also an important form of art. Great poets were famous all over the country, but all educated people were expected to write poetry. During the Tang Dynasty, poetry was so important that writing poetry was part of
