21、High in the treetops, strange ferns(蕨类植物) hold a tree trunk. Below these fork-leaved ferns and closer to the centre of the ferns are disk-shaped, brown ferns. The ferns form a type of complex, interdependent society previously considered limited to animals, researcher reported in Ecology.
Kevin Burns, a biologist at Victoria University of Wellington was attracted by one species—the staghorn ferns while conducting fieldwork. “I realized they never occur alone,” says Burns. He compares the fern groups to an upside-down umbrella made of plants. Ferns with long, green strap fronds(带状蕨叶) appeared to direct rainwater to their centre, where disk-shaped, brown “nest” fronds live. That reminded Burns of eusocial(群居社会性的) insect groups, where different generations live together and divide labour and reproductive roles. Burns wondered if the ferns could be eusocial.
His team’s analysis of fronds revealed 40 percent couldn’t reproduce, and the members were mainly nest fronds. This suggests a reproductive division of labour. Tests on the fronds’ absorbency confirmed nest fronds take in more water. Previous research found networks of roots running widely, meaning nest fronds have the ability to satisfy strap fronds’ thirst. The fronds divide labour, much like ants. They also analysed genetic samples and found most groups consisted of genetically identical individuals. High degrees of genetic relatedness are also seen in eusocial insects.
Taken together, Burns thinks the features show ferns’ eusociality. Water and nutrient exchange is known in other plants. Though, the division of labour is a key feature setting staghorn ferns apart. A stressful life in treetops—far away from the soil—may have contributed to the ferns forming such a lifestyle by providing water and nutrient security, Burns says.
Scientists see benefits in broadening eusociality to include plants. “They’re some of the most flexible livings things,” biologist Karen Kapheim says. She thinks the ferns’ behaviour reasonable. “A received opinion is that plants are simpler organisms and they could be made light of(轻视). Science is revealing more about how plants communicate. Adding social behaviour fits in with this new understanding of plants.”
【1】What’s the role of the nest fronds?
A．Producing new ferns.
B．Collecting water.
C．Fighting enemies.
D．Dividing labor.
【2】What possibly leads to the ferns’ eusociality?
A．Lack of nutrients.
B．Their genetic relatedness.
C．Limitation of their shapes.
D．Their unpleasant habitat.
【3】What do Kapheim’s words imply?
A．Plants are more complex than usually thought.
B．New ways to study plants should be adopted.
C．Behavior of plants was often ignored once.
D．Plants are more flexible than animals.
【4】Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Eusociality Shared by Both Plants and Animals
B．The First Plants Found to Share Work Like Ants

22、The topic of “hard work vs talent” has been researched by many scientists and even they do not have the only right conclusion.
Ericsson, Krampe, and Tech-Romer have pointed out that talent is irrelevant in distant 1993 yet. They connected success with a deliberate practice that lasts for over 10 thousand hours.
However, recent studies support another viewpoint. Both Malcolm Gladwell (2008) and David Brooks (2011) agree that there is no guarantee that a person with a higher IQ level will be more successful in life. And several dozen years ago Stephen King expressed the thought that talent meant nothing without hard work.
It goes without saying that there are no equal people in the world. Even siblings (兄弟姐妹) may look absolutely the same but be different in character and preferences. That means that their inborn talents are various as well. For example, if you gather 10 children in one classroom and teach them the same information using a single approach, the results of this study will be very different. Not only talent will play a significant role in that but also attention, desire, and even upbringing(家庭教育). Of course, it has been confirmed that intelligence is inherited(遗传的) but upbringing is no less important. Some parents work with their kids from the first day of pregnancy and these children will show better results than ones left on their own.
If you wish to become the best of the best like an Olympic Games champion, talent appears to be a necessity here. But if you desire to get promotion and win the competition among young colleagues, hard work and desire are your keys to success even if you are not lucky to have been born talented.
【1】In Ericsson’s view, which factor contributes to success?
A．Talent.
B．Hard work.
C．Upbringing.
D．Desire.
【2】What idea does David Brooks convey in Paragraph 3?
A．Talent is of no use without effort.
B．Talent is useless without a desire for success.
C．People should attach more importance to effort.
D．Smarter people are not necessarily more successful.
【3】How does the author develop Paragraph 4?
A．By telling stories.
B．By listing numbers.
C．By giving examples.
D．By raising questions.
【4】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．Talent can make a world champion.
B．Talent is the decisive factor in success.
C．Essential factors for success vary with goals.
D．Hard work is enough for promotion in the workplace.
23、Cool Inventions
For Light Sleepers
Millions of people have trouble falling asleep each night, which is why LightSleeper was created.
Developed in the United Kingdom, LightSleeper’s makers say it can help a person fall asleep and also help a person fall back to sleep after waking up in the middle of the night.
LightSleeper works by projecting (投射) a light onto the ceiling while the person is lying down. The idea is to watch the light, because the light moving in a circle has a relaxing effect.
One of the advantages of the product is that it won’t disturb other people in the room. The product can be easily moved and will switch itself off after 30 minutes to save power.
Stop the Snoring (打鼾)
Here’s a new product designed to slow down the frequency and level of your snoring. The Snore Stopper has a sensitive instrument that will detect when you’re snoring. Once it does that, it will send a very mild electronic signal to your wrist. This consequently changes your sleeping position to stop you from snoring. The Snore Stopper won’t cause any damage to your body.
Get Your True Colors
Photoshop features a pen that will copy the color settings of what you are monitoring on screen to use as a color in your program. Now an offline product allows you to pick a color when not using the computer software.
The Color Picker is a concept pen. After placing the pen against an object, the user just presses the scan button. Color sensors (感应器) inside the pen send information to a box, which then mixes red, green and blue to produce the desired ink color.
Keep It Fresh
More high technology products are showing up in the kitchen. A new Bagel dome (圆顶形物) advertises that it will keep your baked goods fresher for longer periods of time. The product, which is able to remove air, works for bread rolls, cakes and other perishables. To use it, you just push a button at the top.
【1】How can LightSleeper help a person fall asleep?
A．Its light makes people feel calm.
B．It doesn’t make any noise.
C．It is fixed on the ceiling.
D．Its light moves fast.
【2】What do we know about the Snore Stopper?
A．It will cause slight damage to a person’s body.
B．It will wake a person up once he starts snoring.
C．It can make sure a person doesn’t snore all night.
D．It can make a person snore less by changing his sleeping position.
【3】The Color Picker will probably be used while you’re ________.
A．using the computer
B．drawing pictures
C．collecting information
D．designing a program

If you'd like to experience native American culture and appreciate its staying power, the followings can be your best choices.
Indian Pueblo Cultural Center
Located in Albuquerque, New Mexico, the IPCC highlights the culture of the state’s 19 pueblos (印第安人村庄 ). Every weekend, dancers of Zuni pueblo perform in the center’s square. There's a museum, an annual film festival, a cafe serving authentic pueblo food like fry bread, and a world-class research library open to the public.
American Indian Film Festival
The oldest and best known festival in the country mainly shows movies about the stories of America's original people. There are screenings, group discussions and an awards ceremony. Past guests have included director Chris Eyre, actors Adam Beach, and Chaske Spencer. The festival runs for nine days in November in San Francisco. Tickets are reserved at AIFF's website or by e-mail.
Berkeley Indigenous Peoples Day Powwow
Among two dozen U.S. cities and one state observing Indigenous Peoples Day currently, Berkeley, California was the first city in the country to turn Columbus Day into a celebration of Native Americans. The annual event features traditional dancing, retailers selling native crafts and food, and a blessing of the grounds.
Petroglyph National Monument
One of the largest petroglyph ( 岩刻 ) sites in North America is on a cliff overlooking the suburbs of Albuquerque, New Mexico. There, native peoples scratched thousands of mysterious shapes and drawings of animals and humans into the stones between 400 and 2,000 years ago. When the Spanish traveled through in the 16th century, they added their initials to the Indians' sacred stones. It's a visual record of the conflict of cultures.

25、For many parents, raising a teenager is like fighting a long war, but years go by without any clear winner. Like a border conflict between ________ countries, the parent-teen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I ________ and what you do?
Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. ________, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for ________ it. From the parents’ point of view, the only cause of their fight is their children’s complete ________. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except ________. Both feel trapped.
In this article, I’ll describe three no-win ________ that commonly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the ________. The first is quarrels over ________ things. Examples include the colour of the teen’s hair, the cleanliness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child’s ________ to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends.
Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn’t matter what the ________ is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the ________ of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered a(n) ________—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to command ________.

26、A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can keep your body strong, so you should take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy products group has food like milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all the four main groups. With all these food together you will be given enough energy during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired during these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.
