26、Vanessa Brown, a senior lecturer of art at Nottingham University, explores the cultural and psychological relation between sunglasses and our modern idea of “cool.” Her research has uncovered about why most of us look better in shades.
Because they really make your misshapen face look better. Put on a pair of sunglasses, and an instant beauty as a result of balance! The dark lenses cover up any unbalanced oddities(奇异) around your eyes, and research on facial attractiveness shows a clear link between balance and our sense of beauty.
Because of mystery. Many of the quick judgments we form about people come from looking in the eyes; shade yours, and you’re instantly a more attractive presence. Eye contact helps us form judgments about someone’s intelligence, confidence, and sincerity and sunglasses keep us literally in the dark about forming those perceptions. And it works both ways, because the wearer of the sunglasses feels more mysterious, too.
Because of their historical link with sharpness and attraction. We take their existence for granted today, but sunglasses are relatively modern, Brown said. Sales started to pick up in the 1920s, but they didn’t become commonplace until about two decades after that. The way sunglasses were most used prior to their commercialization helps explain their inside coolness, Brown said, because in their early days sunglasses were primarily used during risky water and snow sports, which made them seem “daring and totally modern.”
Soon after that, Hollywood stars of the 1950s and 1960s started wearing sunglasses to defend themselves from being recognized by the public or bothered by paparazzi(狗仔队), whose flashbulbs would often explode violently, Brown said. Anyhow, movie stars’ adoption of them strengthened a sense of romance. Also—and this is more from my own personal research than Brown’s—hang-overs. They’re really great for hiding hang-overs.
【1】 Which of the following would Vanessa Brown agree with?
A. Sunglasses deliver mystery to the observers as well as the wearers.
B. Sunglasses were mainly used in risky sports after their commercialization.
C. Sunglasses are relatively modern and they became commonplace in the 1920s.
D. Sunglasses cover up unbalanced oddities on the face to give people a sense of mystery.
【2】 The writer believes that Hollywood stars prefer to wear sunglasses ________.
A. to hide their hang-overs
B. not to be recognized in the public
C. to be more attractive and romantic
D. to escape the flashbulbs of paparazzi
【3】 Which of the following best shows the structure of this passage?

27、China’s first panda-themed tourist train, known as the “Panda train” left Chengdu Railway Station in Sichuan’s provincial capital for Zunyi in neighboring Cuizhou province on Sunday night. The train is decorated with giant panda images, and attendants carry panda toys and passengers can even try panda-shaped food. The “panda train” will start operation on March 28. It will serve on fixed lines and customized lines to connect tourist attractions in Sichuan and neighboring provinces.
In the future, the train will operate on a number of rail lines linking Chengdu and Chongqing, Chongqing and Guiyang, Shanghai and Kunming in Sichuan, Guzhou provinces and Chongqing municipality.
Ticket offer:
The three-day trip costs 1,280 yuan, including food, accommodation and entrance tickets to scenic spots in Guizhou.
Facilities:
The train, which doubles as a mobile star-rated hotel, can accommodate 252 passengers. It has a dining room, bar, karaoke room, dance hall and mahjong room. The 12 cars have individual rooms for two or four passengers, and each room has a washroom with a toilet and shower facilities.
The mahjong room might be the biggest attraction for passengers from Sichuan, whose people are known for their fondness of the game. There’s an old joke that an airplane passenger bound for Chengdu can sleep soundly, only to be woken by the clicking of mahjong tiles in the city before landing. In fact, Chengdu is better known for its love of mahjong than its other attractions, such as the giant panda, Sichuan Opera and Sichuan cuisine, according to an online survey conducted by sohu.com two decades ago.

28、 Farmers might think the idea of growing food for fun sounds strange． But there are some people who do it all the time． They grow some vegetables because their natural color or shape is pleasing to see． They grow others because scientists have developed new colors or different sizes for traditional vegetables．
One example is the bell pepper． Seed companies sell seeds for several different kinds of bell peppers． One pepper is a weak yellow color when it begins to grow． Then its color changes to white． As it grows， it changes color two more times ﹣ to orange， then red． If you are not interested in peppers that change colors as they grow， you can grow some that remain on color． Each kind of pepper has its own special taste．
Another unusual plant is known as the yard﹣long bean or snake bean． It grows up to one meter in length． It is an important part of the food supply in areas of Asia． American farmers like it because it is different， yet tastes very much like the green beans they traditionally grow． Each bean has from ten to twenty seeds． The outside or pod can be eaten． Some of the very long beans are green outside but have black﹣and﹣white or red seeds．
Gourds （葫芦） are plants that people like to grow because of their many different shapes． They also have many uses． Some round gourds are dried， painted and made into containers． Others have long necks and big bodies． These are dried， cut and made into containers to pour drinking water．

29、The Future Stars
General introduction
The Future Stars was set up in 1988 as a non-profit service center for child development devoted to providing quality childcare in a loving and educational environment for children 6 weeks to 6 years of age. Our funds mainly come from public donations.
A healthy curiosity about learning is the most important quality for early childhood development. We aim at offering high quality developmentally age-appropriate activities for early childhood, the most Important time of child development, so that they can do better after they start formal schooling.
Hours of operation
Childcare will be provided for the child from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm Monday through Friday except for holidays. Children may not arrive before 7:00 am or remain after 6:00 pm. Should an emergency arise, the parent should immediately make us know in consideration of our work arrangements. A late charge of $ 1.00 per minute will be assessed if the child is not picked up by 6:05 pm. Charges for these services are to be paid directly to the staff person that has been looking after your child until your arrival, not to the center. Failure to pay late charges may affect continued services with the center.
Tuition (学费)
When it has been confirmed that a position is available for your child, you must pay a registration (注册) fee of $200 per child.
The weekly tuition fee is $ 98.00. You can make payments either by credit card or in cash on Monday every week. If your payment is not made by Tuesday at 9:00 am, you will be charged a $ 25.00 late fee.
