24、Where did that number come from?

Eleven and Twelve

The reason behind the change in number naming is that eleven comes from the German term ainlif, which translates to “one left”. Twelve follows the same rule. It comes from twalif—“two left”. Why teen is used instead of lif for 13 through 19? There is something sadly lost in history.

911 for US Emergency (急救) Calls

Early phones didn’t use phone numbers—the operator had to connect your call by hand—and this led to the need for an emergency code (信号). But later phone numbers became popular, that changed. In 1967, 911 was chosen as the nationwide emergency call because it was easy to  remember and could be quickly dialed (拨) on the phone.

26.2 Miles in a Marathon (马拉松)

The story began with an ancient Greek soldier carrying message from a battlefield (战场) in Marathon to Athens. The modern marathon was born as a flagship event in the first Olympic Games, in 1896, with a distance (距离) of about 25 miles (40 km), as long as the distance from Marathon to Athens. But race organizers for the 1908 Olympic Games in London wanted to add something special. The race began at Windsor Castle and ended at White City Stadium, with runners finishing only after passing the royal (皇室的) box. The distance was 26.2 miles (42.1 km). And since 1924 this distance has been kept in marathon.

28 Days in February

Before using the Gregorian calendar that we use today, one of the first Roman calendars had only 304 days and ten months (March through December), with six months of 30 days and four of 31 days. The second king of Rome improved the old calendar. He added 50 days for January and February. To make the new months longer, he took one day from each of the 30-day months, making 56 days to divide between January and February (or 28 days each). Later January was given one more day to add up to 355 days a year, but February still had 28 days. That’s how it became the shortest month and it stayed that way ever since.

26、Although parrots have learned to copy the sounds that make up words, they don’t really know what they are saying. But there is one parrot who speaks more than a hundred words and in fact understands their meanings. He is an African parrot named Alex.

Dr. Irene Pepperberg, a scientist at the University of Arizona, has worked with Alex for nineteen years. He had to learn one word at a time. Irene and Jane, one of her students, would teach Alex by showing him what a word means. Irene would hold up an object, saying “What’s this?” Her students would give the word “apple”, for example, while Alex watched. Irene would praise her student, and then ask Alex the name for the object. When he got it right, Irene would praise him and give him something delicious. It took Alex many weeks to learn his first word. After that, each new word became easier and easier for him.

Why did Irene spend so much time getting a parrot to talk? Scientists like Irene are interested in discovering how smart animals are. But it has always been difficult, partly because animals haven’t been able to communicate clearly with humans. Teaching Alex to speak words that he understands has let Irene talk to him directly(直接地). She can ask him questions, and he can answer them in English. In this way, Irene is finding out what sorts of things Alex’s brain can do. She has found that parrots are much smarter than scientists used to think. The word “birdbrain” is certainly not for Alex.

Alex can recognize and correctly name over forty kinds of objects, five different shapes, five materials, and seven colors. He can use his knowledge to solve problems and answer questions. For example, from a group of objects, he can pick out up to six things of a certain color. He can also pick out objects he is told to pick out, such as bigger or smaller and same or different ones.

【1】In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly shows ________.

A．how Alex was trained to speak English

B．why Alex was chosen by a scientist

C．Alex is an unusual African parrot

D．parrots are smarter than other birds

【2】Why did Irene teach Alex to speak?

A．She was trying to prove her abilities.

B．She was interested in what its brain could do.

C．She needed a friend to talk with.

D．She wanted to prove parrots were smarter than people.

【3】The word “birdbrain” can be used to describe someone ________.

A．who has a small brain

B．who isn’t very clever

C．who talks too much

D．who speaks clearly
