27、 Jonathan Fairoaks lives in a tree house that he designed and built! In fact, as a tree house architect (建筑师), Jonathan has built more than 380 tree houses across the United States.
Jonathan's love of tree-house living began when he was a kid. He started climbing trees when he was 10 years old, and he became an arborist in high school.she built his first tree house and lived in it while he was in college.
“It was delightful-like being on a ship because it moved with the wind,” Jonathan says. “It was the most fun I'd ever had.”
Designing special tree houses may sound difficult, but Jonathan says it's not true. “I let the trees decide the designs,” he says. “Hardwoods such as oak make the best trees for houses- -but I did once build a wonderful tree house in an apple tree.
As an arborist, Jonathan tries to never harm the trees. He attaches man- made limbs(树的主枝) to the tree to support the tree house.
“The tree grows over the man-made limbs, and they become part of the tree,” Jonathan says.
One feature of Jonathan's tree houses is the swings(秋千). “Swings are a great way to enjoy the trees.” he explains. For example, he puts up monkey swings for kids tree houses.
Jonathan also likes tree houses that have views of streams or rivers and include windows that are made of pieces of colored glass.
“Let your imagination run wild,” he says. “Walk in the woods and learn the different trees. Spend time climbing and learn how to do it safely.”
Jonathan also encourages his customers to give their tree houses names. One of his customers named his own tree house “Ups and Downs”.
【1】What's life like in tree houses according to Jonathan?
A.Crazy. B.Difficult. C.Green. D.Delightful.
【2】W hat does the underlined word “arborist” in Paragraph 5 mean?

28、Speaking, writing and reading are necessary to everyday life, where language is the major tool for expression and communication. Studying how people use language — what words they unconsciously choose and combine — can help us better understand ourselves and why we behave the way we do.
Linguists (语言学家) try to determine what is unique and universal about the language we use, how it is learned and the ways it changes over time. They consider language as a cultural, social and psychological phenomenon.
“Understanding why and how languages differ tells us about the range of what is human,”said Dan Jurafsky, chair of the Department of Linguistics at Stanford.
Stanford linguists and psychologists study how language is interpreted (理解) by people. Even the slightest differences in language use may show the biased (有偏见的) beliefs of the speakers, according to research.
For example, a relatively harmless sentence, such as“girls are as good as boys at math,” because of the statement’s grammatical structure (结构), suggests that being good at math is more common or natural for boys than girls, the researchers said. Language can play a big role in how we and others see the world, and linguists work to discover how words and phrases can influence us, unknowingly.
People speak about 7,000 languages worldwide. Although there is a lot in common among languages, each one is unique. Jurafsky said it’s important to study languages other than our own and how they develop over time because it can help linguists understand what lies at the foundation of humans' unique way of communicating with one another.
Linguists analyze how certain speech patterns influence particular behaviors, including how language can influence people’s buying decisions. Jurafsky said. “Understanding what different groups of people say and why is the first step in determining how we can help bring people together.”
【1】What does the example mentioned in Paragraph 5 show?
A．Misunderstanding is common in daily life.
B．People should avoid using harmful sentences.
C．Speech patterns can show people’s biased beliefs.
D．Some grammatical structures are difficult to understand.
【2】What does Jurafsky suggest in Paragraph 6?
A．Researching languages.
B．Learning from linguists.
C．Developing good learning habits.
D．Communicating with others frequently.
【3】What is the main purpose of the text?
A．To show the power of language.
B．To give an introduction to Jurafsky.
C．To teach readers how to learn a language.
D．To call on readers to learn more languages.
