9.Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight,while the French,who consume rich food,continue to stay thin?Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight.Researchers conclude that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full.However,Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.
According to Dr.Joseph Mercola,a health expert,the French see eating as an important part of their life style.They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table,while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities.Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full.So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped.In addition,he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week.The French,instead,tend to shop daily,walking to small shops and farmers'markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits,vegetables,and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.
After a visit to the United States,Mireille Guiliano,author of French Women Don't Get Fat,decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food.Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.
In spite of all these differences,evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits.Today the rate of obesity-or extreme overweight-among adults is only 6%.However,as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions,the obesity rate among French children has reached 17%-and is growing.

28.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr.Joseph Mercola?C
A.They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently.
B.They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.
C.They regard eating as a key part of their life style.
D.They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.
29.This text is mainly about the relationship betweenB.
A.Americans and the French                
B.life style and obesity
C.children and adults                      
D.fast food and overweight
30.This text is mainly developedA.
A.by contrast   
B.by space      
C.by process
D.by classification
31.Where does this text probably come from?C

C.A health report.
D.A book review.

17.Bill Gates recently predicted that online learning will make place-based colleges less significant,and five years from now,students will be able to find the best lectures in the world online.I applaud Mr.Gates.But what's taking us so long?
As early as 1997,MIT(麻省理工) decided to post videos of all university lectures online.for free,for all people.But today,how many students have you met who mastered advanced mathematics or nuclear physics from an MIT online video?Unfortunately,the answer is not many.The problem is the poor quality of online education websites and the experience they provide to students.Those who go to the MIT website and watch courses online are surely very smart people,but it's not like playing a video game such as World of Warcraft.Only the most ardent students,those who are highly motivated,will devote themselves to studying these boring online videos.
The real question is why we aren't spending more to develop better online education platforms.Where is the Avatar of education?Think about this.The market for Hollywood films per year is worth around 30 billion USD.Education in the world is a trillion-dollar-a-year market,hundreds of times bigger than Hollywood movies.Yet the most expensive digital learning system ever built cost well under 100 million dollars.
Bill Gates'prediction is going to happen.There is no doubt about it.But it will only happen when we create high level educational content and experiences that engage and excite more than has ever been possible in the real world.

21.What has Bill Gates forecast about online learning?D
A.It will concentrate on physics lectures
B.It will completely replace real universities
C.It will help to make universities more successful
D.It will play an increasingly important role in education
22.What does the underlined word"ardent"in Paragraph 3mean?B
A.Creative
B.Enthusiastic
C.Well-behaved
D.Experienced
23.According to the author,what is holding back the popularity of online learning?C
A.The lack of lectures available online
B.The high cost of access to the websites
C.The low standard of educational websites
D.The competition with online computer games
24.Why does the author mention Hollywood?D
A.To show that Hollywood produces many successful movies
B.To prove that education is more profitable than entertainment
C.To argue that movie directors should produce educational content
D.To urge that more money be spent developing educational websites.

14.The more scientists study pigeons,the more they learn how their brains operate in ways not so different from our own.
In a new study,researchers found that pigeons can categorize and name both natural and man-made objects-and not just a few objects.These birds categorized 128 photographs into 16categories.
Ed Wasserman,an author of the study,says the finding suggests a similarity between how pigeons learn the equivalent of words and the way children do.
In an experiment the researchers used a computerized version of the"name game"where three pigeons were shown 128 black-and-white photos of objects from 16 basic categories:baby,bottle,cake,car,cracker,dog,duck,fish,flower,hat,key,pen,phone,plane,shoe,tree.They then had to peck(啄) on one of two different symbols:the correct one for that photo and an incorrect one that was randomly chosen from one of the remaining 15 categories.The pigeons not only succeeded in learning the task,but they reliably transferred the learning to four new photos from each of the 16 categories.
Pigeons have long been known to be smarter than average birds.They have a"homing instinct(返巢本能)"that helps them find their way home,even when blindfolded(蒙住眼睛).They have better eyesight than humans and have been trained to spot orange life jackets of people lost at sea.They carried messages for the U.S.Army during the two world wars.
McMurray,another author of the study,says"Our testing methods can be used with any type of animal that can interact with a computer screen."
He also says,"Contrary to people's belief,the research shows the methods with which children solve this huge problem may be shared with many species."
Wasserman acknowledges though this study is not a direct equivalent of word learning in children,the model used in the study could lead to a better understanding of children's word learning.

32.What can we know from Paragraph 4?A
A.How the researchers carried out the experiment.
B.What objects pigeons are good at recognizing.
C.How many categories pigeons can be classified into.
D.Why researchers wanted to prove pigeons'intelligence.
33.What can pigeons do?A
A.Help to save lives.
B.Teach children words.
C.Learn words just as adults.
D.Use their eyes to judge the way home.
34.According to McMurray,most people consider children's word learning methodsB.
A.interesting 
 B.unique 
C.important  
D.common
35.What is the purpose of this passage?D
A.To inform people that pigeons are clever birds.
B.To prove pigeons are of great use to humans.
C.To explain why pigeons solve problems more easily than children.
D.To show pigeons are similar to children in learning words.
