24、China is a country with many colorful days and festivals. The Dragon Head Raising Day (龙抬头) is one of them.
This special day is on the second day of the second month in the Chinese lunar calendar (农历). It is the start of spring and farming. This year, the day fell on March 8th.
The dragon is important in Chinese culture. We Chinese people call ourselves the “descend-ants (传人) of the dragon”. Therefor, people celebrate the Dragon Head Raising Day with many customs about dragons.
On the day in ancient times, people put ashes (灰) in the kitchen. This was “to lead the dragon into the house”. People believed that with the help of the dragon, they could have a good harvest (收获) in autumn.
Also, people eat special foods on that day. The foods are usually named after dragons. For example, people eat “dragon whisker (细须)” noodles and dumplings
Today many customs have been dead. But one that has remained is the cutting of hair. It was said that a haircut during the first lunar month may bring bad luck to the mother’s brothers.

25、As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, do people remember less? If you know your computer will store information, why do you store it in your own personal memory? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember. In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow made some experiments(实验). She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.
In the first experiment, they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information. The second group understood that the computer would not store it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In the second experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in an exact computer folder(文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. However, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory(交互记忆)”.
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less clever but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

27、Do you know World Smile Day? It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.
It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts.
There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.

29、B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文):
Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. Surprisingly, ______ show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird ______ the difference between two and three.
Another interesting test showed a bird’s ______ number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not ______ until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they weren’t successful in
fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The test was ______ with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.
How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old ______ notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.
It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human ability is not much better than a cow’s.
