26、PLYMOUTH — On April 15, 2019, the historic Notre Dame cathedral in Paris caught fire during renovation (翻新)work. The world famous structure will be closed for at least 5 to 6 years, if not longer.
But could such a destructive (毁灭性的)fire have been prevented?
Associate professor of fire science Glenn Corbett of John Jay University argues that it could have, or that at the very least, the fire might not have been so destructive if proper fire safety measures were in place and the response to the fire wasn't so slow.
On Monday, Corbett will give a lecture at the Plymouth Public Library about what went wrong in preventing and controlling the Notre Dame cathedral fire and what other historic buildings can learn from the incident.
Corbett said that the first failings occurred in the lack of fire safety measures taken during the building's renovations.
Next, Corbett said, the cathedral did not have any fire suppression systems (灭火系统)in place, such as a water sprinkler or misting system, that might have kept the fire spread. He said these systems have been available for a long time, but were likely ignored due to the fact that installing such systems are expensive.
Lastly, Corbett said the response to the fire was much slower than one would expect. Since the fire started in the attic, a guard had to climb hundreds of stairs to the attic to find the fire, delaying any major response by 30 minutes. Corbett said that for him, this was the most shocking part of what happened.
But even since the burning of Notre Dame, many historical buildings still do not have the safety systems. Corbett said he hopes owners and leaders of local historic buildings will attend the lecture so they can learn how to protect the pieces of history in their care from fires.
“An Inside Look at the Fire That Nearly Destroyed the Notre Dame Cathedral” will take place Monday at 7 p.m. at the Plymouth Public Library, 132 South Street. For more information, visit www.plymouthpubliclibrary.org.

27、American and British people both speak English of course.【1】In fact, there are some important differences between them.
First of all, they sound very different.【2】They may say ”I dunno“ instead of ”I don’t know.“ However, the British are more careful in their speech. They usually say all the words and keep them separate.
Sound is not only the difference between British English and American English. Words sometimes have different meanings too. Some American words are never used in England.【3】For example, the vocabulary for cars and driving is very different. Americans drive trucks, but in England people drive lorries.
【4】In England, if you are going to telephone your friends, you ”phone them up“. In America, you”give them a call’. When you are saying goodbye in England, you might say “Cheerio!” In America you might say “See you later.”
There are also some differences in grammar. For example, Americans usually use the helping verb “do” when they ask a question. They say “Do you have a storybook?”【5】They say “Have you a storybook?” Of course, all these differences can be confusing，if you are learning English. But most languages are like this. When people live in separa places ,the languages change in different ways. This is what has happened to English.
A．British English is easier to understand
B．Americans often say several words together
C．Americans are more likely to use abbreviations
D．But the British often leave out the helping verb
E．But sometimes it does not seem like the same language
F．Many expressions are also different in the two countries
G．The same thing is true of some British words in America
28、 When Adrian Black met his Italian partner 10 years ago, he was determined to learn her mother language. Having successfully picked up French a decade earlier when he lived in France, he felt the challenge was attainable.
Black, who is now50, explains,“I feel like French is deep down in my head somewhere, but with Italian it will take a lot more efforts for me to get to that level. I've noticed that my brain isn't as good as it was. ”
It's often said that you cant teach an old dog new tricks. Actually this saying is, for the most part, not true. It was generally believed that the adult brain was a fixed structure that, once damaged , could not be repaired. But research published since the 1960s has challenged this assumption（假设）, showing that it is actually a highly dynamic structure, which changes itself in response to new experiences, and adapts to injuries.
This research also suggests that young men can learn something new easily, but that the older they are, the harder it is for them to do so.
Some aspects of language learning become more difficult with age. Others may get easier. Picking up a new language's vocabulary is much easier for adults than learning the rules that govern its grammar. This is because new words can be easily connected with a learner's pre -existing knowledge. But older learners are less likely to have good pronunciation （发音）or accents, since the sound of a new language is picked up naturally by children.
Despite the difficulties, Black regards learning foreign languages as fun. “I'm doing it partly to keep my brain active,”he says. “When you have some success and can express yourself, it feels like you're using different parts of your brain that you weren't using before. ”
【1】When Adrian Black decided to learn Italian, ___________.
A.he lived in France with his wife
B.he was then forty years old
C.he achieved success in his work
D.he wanted to make Italian friends
【2】The author mentioned a saying in Paragraph 3 to ___________ .
A.show the old dogs are too foolish to teach
B.prove the true meaning of the saying
C.suggest Black is different from others
D.show the saying is not suitable for Black
【3】The difficulty for an adult to learn a new language is that he can't ___________ .
A.remember so many new words
B.pronounce the words correctly
C.memorize the grammar rules easily
D.understand the language fully
【4】What can we infer from the passage?
A.An old dog will learn no new tricks.
B.It's never too old to learn.
C.Nothing comes from nothing.
D.Never offer to teach fish to swim.
29、It was our turn to open our presents this particular Christmas morning. The living room was already covered with torn (撕开的)wrapping paper. Obviously, the children could hardly wait to discover the hidden treasures, which they had expected for nearly a month. Now we adults sat around the room with our presents at our feet, slowly removing the paper, trying to maintain our dignity in front of the children.
My wife Brenda, and her family have a tradition of getting each other gag (恶作剧)gifts. This always makes me a bit uneasy at Christmas or my birthday, never knowing what embarrassment lies waiting for me under the wrapping paper.
Recently, my six-year-old daughter Christy seemed to busy herself with something while I was playing computer video flight games. Now she was standing directly in front of me. The excitement of the moment just shone across her face. Finally, I came to the last gift and with my natural Sherlock Holmes ability, I concluded that this had to be the gag gift. With everyone looking on, I decided to go ahead and get it over with — just let them have their laugh — and I tore the paper and there it was...a toy airplane about two inches long. Our holiday guests started giggling (咯咯笑) to themselves as I looked up to my wife with an unpleasant smile on my face, saying, “A toy airplane? Are you kidding me?”
Brenda gave me the look — that look that always tells me I have just said something wrong and should have given it a second thought. I had failed to look at the name tag (标签) before I opened the present to see who it was from. As I picked up the paper from the floor and read the name tag, my heart sank. On the tag were the letters that read, “To dad, Love Christy.”
