2．Luciano Baietti，a retired school，headmaster from Italy，holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees．The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy，and is getting ready to get his 16th．
Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of，but 15 is apparently quite impressive，since it's only been done by one man．Although he spends his days working around his house and garden，like most people his age，at night，Baretti turns into n student again．Every morning，at 3 a．m．，when most of the world is sleeping，he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp．He claims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him．
"Thanks to books，I feel free．After all，the words share the share root，"he says，referring to the Italian words libro （book） and libero （free）．"Me claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin，whose portrait is also on display in his study，alongside his many framed university degrees，and whom he describes as"a man of culture and knowledge．
Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002，after his eighth degree．Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection．
"Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go．"At 70-years-old，Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree，this time in food science．
Probably the most important thing about Baietti's achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school，and volunteering with Italy's Red Cross．The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst （渴求） for knowledge didn't affect his professional activity and his family life．He spent 3 hours studying every day，and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis （論文）．
 
32．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
A．Louis-Francois Berlin is on good terms with Baietti．
B．Baietti is the first Italian to break a Guinness record twice．
C．Nobody but Baietti has ever got more than one college degree．
D．Challenging himself opens up a broader world to Baietti．
33．Baietti can be best described asC．
A．honest and considerate
B．optimistic and generous
C．determined and hardworking
D．reliable and imaginative
34．The key to Baietti's success isC．
A．the support from his family
B．his eagerness for fame
C．his nonstop daily learning
D．his unusual brain and energy
35．What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti？B
A．Well begun is half done．
B．Never too late to learn．
C．Take things as they come．
D．Strike the iron while it is hot．

13．http://www．newscientist．com/article/dn26694-humans-and-birds-share-the-same-singing-genes．html#．VIrqUPSl-cs
It's not just great minds that think alike．Dozens of the genes involved in the vocal learning that underpins human speech are also active in some songbirds（黃鶯）．And knowing this suggests that birds could become a standard model for investigating the genetics of speech production and speech disorders．
Complex language is a uniquely human trait，but vocal learning-the ability to pick up new sounds by imitating others-is not．Some mammals，including whales，dolphins and elephants，share our ability to learn new vocalizations（發(fā)聲）．So do three groups of birds：the songbirds，parrots and hummingbirds．
The similarities between vocal learning in humans and birds are not just superficial．We know，for instance，that songbirds have specialised vocal learning brain circuits that are similar to those that mediate（傳達） human speech．
What's more，a decade ago we learned that FOXP2，a gene known to be involved inhuman，is also active in"area X"of the songbird brain-one of the brain regions involved in those specialised vocal learning circuits．
AndreasPfenning at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and his colleagues have now built on these discoveries．They compared maps of genetic activity in brain tissue taken from the zebra finch，budgerigar and Anna's hummingbird，representing the three groups of vocal-learning birds．
They then compared these genetic maps with others taken from birds and primates that can't learn new vocalisations，and with maps taken from the brains of six people who donated tissue to the Allen Brain Institute in Seattle．
Their results showed that FOXP2is just one of 55genes that show a similar pattern of activity in the brains of humans and the vocal-learning birds．Those same genes show different patterns of activity in the brains of animals incapable of vocal learning．
"The similarities are beyond one or a handful of genes，"says Pfenning．"There are just systematic molecular similarities between song-learning birds and humans．"
"There's potential for songbirds to be used to study neurodegeneration（神經(jīng)元退變）-especially conditions like Huntington's，"says Pfenning．Huntington's disease affects the ability to produce complex motor behaviour，such as singing and talking，so experiments with birds might implicate particular genes in the disease．
Constance Scharff at the Free University of Berlin in Germany，who helped identify the importance of FOXP2 forvoca agrees that songbirds can make great models for human speech and its pathologies（病理學）．"My lab's research during the past 10years has shown that FOXP2is as relevant for birds'song learning as it is for human speech learning，"she says．
61．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage？C
A．The songbirds，parrots and hummingbirds imitate humans．
B．FOXP2is active in one of the brain regions of the songbird brain．
C．Songbirds have the same vocal learning brain circuits as human．
D．FOXP2is a gene that is known to be involved in human language．
62．The underlined word"underpin"in the first paragraph probably meansB．
A．increase
B．support
C．prevent
D．decrease
63．What can we infer from the passage？C
A．FOXP2was involved in human language about 12years ago．
B．Six people donated brain tissue to the Allen Brain Institute in Seattle．
C．Experiments with songbirds are likely to help cure Huntington's disease．
D．Constance Scharff discovered at the Free University of Berlin．
64．What is the passage mainly about？B
A．Birds have different genes from humans．
B．Humans and birds share the same singing genes．
C．How FOXP2affects the brains of humans and birds．
D．Experiments with birds can cure the disease of humans．

7．With schools far away and little money to pay for transport costs，children in many developing countries like India and Kenya walk long distances to school．The situation is even worse for girls，who often experience violence on their way to school．So girls are often kept at home helping with the housework．
However，World Bicycle Relief is helping to change that．It is seeking to change girls'lives through the power of the bicycle．
Bihar，is the poorest state in India．Until 2007，too many teenage girls in Bihar were dropping out of school．But，that same year，World Bicycle Relief began offering bicycles to girls to help them get to school．And the results are measurable．A 2016 study found that providing bicycles to teenage girls in India increased school attendance by 28% and increased academic （學術的） performance by 59%．Loise Luseno is a 16-year-old girl．Members of her family work as farmers．They earn just about $ 30a month-not nearly enough for food，school costs and transport．In the past，she had to get up at 4a．m．and walk about 15kilometers to reach school．Last year，she dropped out of school because of the distance．But，a few months ago，Luseno went back to school-this time on a bicycle．
The positive influence has led to further projects across Africa，South America and South-East Asia，resulting in a running total of over 320，000 bicycles in the past ten years．
"Bicycles reduce the safety risks for girls because the girls get to school quicker．It also helps parents not to lose work time taking their girls to school．"Christina Kwauk，an expert on girls'education，explains．She calls the bicycle programs a low-cost and very promising solution，saying that many organizations in wealthier countries would be happy to provide this kind of resource．

28．All the following stop girls in developing countries going to school exceptD．
A．transport costs
B．long distances to schools
C．safety risks
D．girls'poor academic performances
