B

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “l(fā)anguage protein” in the brain.

The study, conducted by neuroscientists(神經(jīng)學(xué)家) and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.

They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic(超聲波的) range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.

The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.

“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.

“Our results imply Foxp2 as a component (成分)of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.”

1.From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.

A. women always speak more words than men

B. men and male rats have low levels of language protein

C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2

D. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative

2.The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.

A. paid attention to B. related to

C. put pressure on D. counted on

3.The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.

A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans

B. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different

C. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats

D. discover the association between Foxp2 protein and vocal communication

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Tests on humans and rats

B. Why women are the talkative sex

C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein

D. Foxp2 protein determines oral ability

Art is an important part of education, not only on its own but in the rest of education as well. However, in this information age, advanced technology in school has gained more attention than art. Sometimes when the school has a tight budget, it is usually art rather than technology that becomes the first thing to be cut.

Anyway, the significance of art can’t be ignored. First of all, in school it can help students develop a variety of life skills such as communication skills, problem-solving skills and self-expression skills. Secondly, for high school students, those who are involved in arts classes can have higher test scores. Besides, for some students, art seems to be motivation for coming to school because it’s a subject that they can outshine, which eventually balances their educational experience.

New technology surely offers many benefits to some aspects of education, making teaching and learning easier and more effective. For example, technology simplifies tasks that take much longer to do, like conducting research or finding information. But advanced technology has bad effects such as the risk of being overweight, tiredness and even potential mental health problems, while art doesn’t. On the other hand, unlike art, no technology can develop students’ critical (批判的) thinking skills and a creative mind, both of which can help them to find successful careers after they graduate. Furthermore, no technology can help students to learn to bear responsibility, develop their imagination and increase their confidence.

Generally, art should not be replaced with advanced technology in schools and the last thing to be cut out of school curriculum.

D

Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body. Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods.

When we cook foods,we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form.These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food.When we consume food without these natural enzymes,our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.In both instances,the result is obesity.When too many nutrients are absorbed at once,the body grows fat.

Processed foods contain chemical elements,which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat;as a result,people often overeat.Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle.The body will either identify these foods as allergens(過敏原)and then store them safely away from the organs as fat,or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste,which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body's cells.The body's metabolism(新陳代謝)becomes inactive,and the result is weight gain and obesity.

To stop this vicious circle in its tracks,people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body.Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help.It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance.You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production.If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself,you need to take an active approach.

1.It can be inferred from Para.2 that

A.foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit

B.we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods

C.it is essential for people to protect their vital organs

D.giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle

2.Processed foods are unhealthy because they

A.destroy body's cells

B.may lead to obesity

C.a(chǎn)re difficult to digest

D.stop body's metabolism

3.What is the main purpose of this passage?

A.To warn people of the problem of obesity.

B.To advocate eating more raw and whole foods.

C.To inform people of the harm of processed foods.

D.To tell the differences between raw and processed foods.

4.The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means

A.violent B.progressive

C.harmful D.positive

WHAT’S the most important thing of life?

People’s answers vary greatly. For British scientist Robert Edwards,the answer is having a child.“Nothing is more special than a child,”he told the BBC.

Edwards,the inventor of the In Vitro Fertilization(IVF)technology—more commonly known as“test?tube(試管)baby”technology—passed away on April 10 ,2013 at the age of 87.

Edwards changed the lives of millions of ordinary people who now rejoice(充滿喜悅)in the gift of their own child,”said Peter Braude,professor at King’s College London.“He leaves the world a much better place.”

Edwards started his experiments as early as the 1950s,when he had just finished his PhD in genetics. At that time,much of the public viewed test-tube babies as“scary”,according to Mark Sauer,professor at Columbia University,US.

Edwards and his colleague Patrick Steptoe faced opposition from churches,governments and media,not to mention attacks from many of their fellow scientists.“People said that we should not play God and we should not interfere with nature,”Edwards once told Times. He said that he felt “quite alone” at the time.

“But Edwards was a fighter,and he believed in what he was doing,”said Sauer. Without support from the government,the two struggled to raise funds to carry on. And in 1968 they finally developed a method to successfully fertilize human eggs outside the body.

The first test-tube baby was born on July 25,1978.Her name was Louise Brown. Despite people’s safety concerns,Brown was just as healthy as other children.

“IVF had moved from vision to reality and a new era in medicine had begun,”BBC commented.

Ever since then,public opinion has evolved considerably. Couples who were unable to have babies began thronging(蜂擁)to Edwards’ clinic. Nowadays,Reuters reports,some 4.3 million other“test-tube” children exist. Edwards received a Nobel Prize in 2010 and was knighted(封為爵士)by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ the following year.

Before his death,Edwards was still in touch with Louise.“He is like a granddad to me,”she said in an interview with the Daily Mail.

He is a granddad to millions, in fact.

1.What is the article mainly about?

A.The first test-tube baby.

B.A new era in medicine.

C.The inventor of IVF technology.

D.The changes IVF technology has brought.

2.The writer quoted Peter Braude to ________.

A.show how difficult it was for Edwards to do his work

B.describe what kind of person Edwards was

C.explain why he is loved by all children

D.comment on his achievement

3.The underlined word“opposition”in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________.

A.a(chǎn)ttack B.support

C.test D.influence

4.What is the CORRECT order of events in Edwards’ life?

a.He received a Nobel Prize.

b.He struggled to raise funds.

c.The first test-tube baby was born.

d.He was knighted by Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ.

e.He succeeded in fertilizing human eggs outside the body.

f.He started his experiments on IVF technology.

How to Survive Embarrassing Moments

Have you ever done something embarrassing? At that moment, you probably wished you could disappear into thin air. Unfortunately, embarrassing things happen to everyone at one time or another. The good news? You can keep the damage to the minimum.Here's some help.

Laugh it off

You're staring at your crush (意中人) so hard that you walk into a wall.You trip over your own feet and drop all your books.The best thing you can do? As long as you're not seriously hurt, laugh it off.Say like "Hey, I can teach you to do that if you want to!" or "It took me years to learn that!" By laughing at yourself, you show people you're confident and still in control of the situation.That's bound to make a stronger impression than the fact that you dropped a stack of books.

Move on

Some situations are too personal to laugh off.Your underwear falls out of your backpack. Your bathing suit falls off in the pool.You pass gas while giving a presentation.Making a joke would just call more attention to what happened — and that's the last thing you want.What now? You can just pretend nothing happened and go back to what you were doing, or you can acknowledge it with a "Oh, that was awkward" and then move on.

If there's a joker who thinks it's a good idea to point out how badly you just embarrassed yourself, fix him with a glare and then go back to whatever you were doing.Tell yourself he's a little bug on the ground, not even worth thinking about.Remind yourself that it's over, done.Move on.

Apologize and move on

Some embarrassing situations pack a double punch.Not only do you embarrass yourself, but you make someone else feel bad.You say to a friend that another friend is such a copycat, and then realize the copycat is standing right behind you.You imitate your teacher's unusual accent just as the teacher walks in.Now you're embarrassed and they're mad or hurt.

Making a joke now would make the situation even worse, so don't go there.Although you might feel like running away or even crying, neither of those responses will make you look better.Instead, apologize, "I'm so sorry.That was really mean of me."

If you've been disrespectful to a teacher or a parent, accept whatever consequences without complaint.If you've hurt a friend, do your best to make it up to them.Once you've done all you can to make things right again, move on.If someone else brings it up, just say, "I feel bad enough about that —can we just let it go, please?"

The next time you're stuck in an embarrassing moment, remind yourself that you're a strong person and you can get through this.Stay calm and act confident and the moment will pass.

Topic

It is true that we cannot1.____________ getting embarrassed.

2.________ on how to keep the damage to the minimum
