26、In the top 10 of unpleasant sounds, a crying baby ranks very high. It instantly makes a key part of your brain called the amygdale (杏仁孔) active, which, among other things, acts as a sort of radar for emotional threats. So why would babies need to cause this sort of urgent reaction? To get you to respond and fast to ensure their survival.
Babies can’t fend for themselves. They are like chicks in their parents’ nest, depending on others to keep them warm, fed and safe. Like chicks, their cries signal driving necessities such as a need for food or protection from danger. But human babies can also convey a range of other needs with cries.
Human babies are also highly social, and are interested in engaging in a dialogue with their caregivers. So they are equally attentive to their parents’ signals: the messages conveyed by the body language of their caregivers — how the parent smells, touches, holds, rocks, as well as their tone of voice. In relaxed moments with the parent, they soon discover how smiling at an attentive adult tends to cause a positive response in return.
On the other hand, these early attempts at communication between the parent and child can be very hit-and-miss. In the first few weeks, most babies cry for about two hours a day. When the parent and baby aren’t “getting” each other, crying can increase. In particular, long difficulties with breast-feeding can lead to a pattern of “established firmly” crying behavior.
Crying is a signal that can mean many different things. The lessons that are learned from these early experiences are highly significant for individual lives, but collectively they also have a great effect on our culture.
【1】According to the first paragraph, what is babies’ purpose of crying?
A. To change their comfortable situation at the present time.
B. To communicate with parents and learn to use body language.
C. To make caregivers fast respond to guarantee their survival.
D. To get something that they want to get as quickly as possible.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “fend for” in Para.2 mean?
A. feed B. look after
C. support D. make up
【3】Why do human babies pay attention to their parents’ signals?
A. Because they hope to get more from their parents.
B. Because they want to convey messages to their parents.
C. Because they need to learn from their parents how to communicate.
D. Because they are social and interested in talking with their parents.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A. Cry or Don’t Cry? B. Why Do Babies Cry?
C. How to Express Babies’ Feelings? D. Human Babies Are Similar to Chicks’?
27、 We are deep into January, and winter is in full swing. The days are short, grey, and cold, and many of us are fighting the annoying u Winter Blues”. Yes, lack of sunlight can cause a type of depression called seasonal affective disorder (or SAD). Sunlight causes an increase in serotonin-a “ happy hormone ” -in your body, and with a long winter ahead of us we must look for other choices to improve our moods .
One of the best ways to fight off SAD is with light treatment. This treatment is safe, accessible, and easy and there is a wide range of different light lamps available on the market. After about 3 weeks of using the lamp for about 30 minutes a day, users report that their symptoms greatly improve . Most of these lamps are small and simple, and can easily slip into your home’s decoration-just switch it on and carry on with your normal day .

Try to find one whose bulb is easy to find and replace . You don, t want to be stuck trying to figure out how to put the lamp back together.
Finally, do your full research. There are so many different types and styles of lamp. Do you miss exercising outside ? There is even one that you can put to your treadmill（跑步机）in order to copy running outdoors.
There are larger lamps which are considered to be the most effective. There are small, nice lamps that don't take up too much space . There are modern designs such as vintage-style light-bulbs . There are even happy lamp alarm clocks, which are like sunrise, giving their users a gentle, natural wake-up.
So, no need to go on a trip to Jamaica to get some sun and shake out the winter blues-instead, invest in a happy light which will keep your home sunny and happy all winter long!

28、Norwegians would perhaps highlight their custom of “gå på tur” — going on a journey on foot or on skis. In Denmark, everyone knows what “hygge” is — to freely enjoy the good life with the people you love. They’re the issues of “intangible cultural heritage”, things that cannot be physically touched such as traditions, stories, music, dance, and craft skills.
In 2003, Unesco, the education, science and culture organization of the United Nations (UN), adopted an agreement to “preserve the intangible”, and many developing-world countries were quick to get their traditions included on the official list. But it would take almost 10 years for “Agreement for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage” to be approved by the Scandinavian countries.
Annika Sjöberg is responsible for managing the work of the agency in Sweden. She has been, and continues to be, flooded with suggestions of intangible cultural heritage worthy of protection, submitted by committed citizens and organizations wanting to see their particular traditions included on the list that should be ready sometime in the next couple of years.
Suggestions have also been received concerning various maritime traditions: old shipwright skills such as the building of wooden hulled vessels, are in decline and at risk of being lost forever.
“Our work has attracted considerable attention as it is regarded as being a little out in left field,” says Sjöberg. “In addition, it’s also opened people’s eyes to the fact that the things we can’t physically touch indeed have a major bearing on the way in which we live. Even in an urbanized society, there is knowledge we carry with us that we’ve inherited from previous generations — knowledge that’s important to preserve and take care of.”
Sjöberg explains that the point is not to preserve this cultural heritage in a stony, rigid form, as traditions must be allowed to change and evolve. She also emphasizes that her work should not be interpreted as a nationalistic project, rather as a means of multicultural spreading.
It’s actually a matter of documenting the knowledge that exists in the various traditions. What is most exciting is the diversity that now exists and the ways in which different cultures interact with each other.
【1】Why are “gå på tur” and “hygge” mentioned at the beginning of the passage?
A．To remind people to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
B．To introduce the main topic of the passage.
C．To appeal to the world to protect unseen cultures.
D．To highlight how special the northern European countries are.
【2】What do we know about Annika Sjöberg?
A．She is working for the Unesco agency in Switzerland.
B．She monitors the protection of physical cultural heritage.
C．She tries her best to restore the world-wide particular traditions.
D．She has been managing the cases of the intangible cultural heritage.
【3】What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．Creation of the Unesco.
B．Annika Sjöberg’ daily routine.
C．Intangible cultural heritage of Unesco.
D．Safeguarding the cultures of the Scandinavian countries.
【4】Annika Sjöberg considers her work to be ________.
A．nationalistic
B．tiring but rewarding
C．important and necessary

29、 With exams just around the comer, now is a good time to explore some of UCL’s lesser-known (鲜为人知的）study spaces and get down to some revision. Here are some good choices for you:
UCL Senate House Hub
UCL Senate House Hub opened in 2015 and provides 144 study spaces. What’s more, you can check how many spaces are available online, before you head to the place. Located on the 3rd floor of the South Block of Senate House, the center has room for individual and group study in traditional library spaces, as well as armchairs and computers.
UCL Eastman Dental Library
The newly-redecorated UCL Eastman Dental Library is located halfway along Gray’s Inn Road and is open from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 8 pm. The library has 72 study spaces and many IT facilities (设备）.The library also has a study room for meetings, and a computer room with a whiteboard.
UCL Language & Speech Science Library
UCL Language & Speech Science Library (LaSS) has disabled access and has recently been redecorated to add extra study spaces. With only 49 spaces, LaSS is smaller than most UCL libraries and tends to fill up quickly, so get there early to avoid disappointment.
