26、Perhaps you know northern Americans still maintain the habit of celebrating Groundhog Day when a large groundhog (土拨鼠) checks to see its shadow on February 2 and helps to predict when winter will end. But have you ever heard about how a mountain town in North Carolina uses a caterpillar (毛毛虫) known as the Woolly Worm to make similar predictions?
According to the folklore (民间传说), the amount of black on the woolly worm in autumn predicts the severity of the upcoming winter. The longer the woolly worm’s black bands (带) are, the longer, colder, snowier, and more severe the winter will be. Similarly, a wider middle brown band is a sign of a milder upcoming winter. The position of the longest dark bands supposedly indicates which part of winter will be coldest or hardest. If the head end of the caterpillar is dark, the beginning of winter will be severe. If the tail end is dark, the end of winter will be cold. In addition, the caterpillar has 13 segments (昆虫的节/段) to its body, which traditional forecasters say correspond to the 13 weeks of winter.
Scientific studies on worm forecasting are rare. American Museum of Natural History entomologist Howard Curran conducted a small trial in 1948. Having heard about the caterpillar folklore, Curran headed to Bear Mountain State Park to collect caterpillars each fall for eight years. He found that if the worms had brown markings on more than a third of their body, winters tended to be milder.
Most scientists view the folklore of caterpillar predictions as just that, folklore. “It’s a wonderful story, but I do think it was a playful trial,” says Joe Boggs, an entomologist at Ohio State University Extension who has studied woolly worms. “Curran was a real scientist. He had tons of papers published, but he never published this one — probably because he knew it wouldn’t stand up to peer review.”
Mike Peters, an entomologist at the University of Massachusetts, doesn’t disagree, but he says there could be a link between the band of a caterpillar and the severity of winter. Peters suggests that the timing of their growth and environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture levels, and food sources, can impact the appearance of woolly worms, including their size, coloration, and band patterns. By analyzing these characteristics, researchers can potentially infer information about the weather conditions. “The band does say something about a heavy winter,” he says. “The only thing is that it’s telling you about the previous year.”
【1】How do people predict the weather through caterpillars?

28、Who was Clara Barton? For most people,the easy answer to that question is that she was a nurse during the Civil War. The truth is that her Work during the war represents a small part of a long, extraordinary life.Barton never married and never had children. Instead of devoting herself to one family, she worked much more widely.And while she focused on the needs of humanity,she became famous at a time when women were not expected to have full lives outside their homes and families.
Barton was; described as an extremely shy child. But she is remembered today as a fearless advocate for people in need. She also met powerful men-lawmakers,generals,and world leaders-who became supporters in her work to help others.
When the Civil War began in 1861, Henry Wilson met Barton when they both tried to organize supplies and aid for injured soldiers arriving in the nation's capital. As the chairman of the Military Affairs Committee, Wilson knew how the government functioned and how to make things happen. Barton knew she wanted to be actively involved in helping soldiers. Working as a team, Wilson and Barton aided each other in their efforts during the war.
Major General Benjamin F. Butler met Barton during the war,too.He was commander of the Army of the James,which fought in Virginia and North Carolina. He put Barton in charge of nursing in a mobile hospital.When he later became governor of Massachusetts, he appointed Barton in charge of the Massachusetts Reformatory Prison.
During Barton's first visit to Europe, she met Swiss doctor Louis Appia. Appia was one of the founders of the International Committee of the Red Cross.Although Barton had not heard of the organization, Appia was familiar with Barton's work during the Civil War. Their meeting gave Barton the idea to establish the American Red Cross. She spent a decade persuading American leaders to support the organization.
Today,the American Red Cross encourages people to continue to pursue the goal to which Barton devoted her life: Work together and help one another when disaster strikes. That may be Clara Barton's greatest legacy(遗产）.

29、People with bigger brains tend to score higher on standardized tests of intelligence, according to new study findings.
However, the study author Dr. Michael A.McDaniel of the Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond emphasized that these findings represent a general trend, and people with small heads should not automatically believe they are less intelligent. For instance, Albert Einstein's brain was "not particularly large", McDaniel noted." There's some relationship between brain size and intelligence on the average, but there's plenty of room for exceptions," he said.
Interest in the relationship between brain size and intelligence grew in the1830s, when German anatomist(解剖学家) Frederich Tiedmann wrote that he believed there was "an unquestionable connection between the size of the brain and the mental energy displayed by the individual man". Since that statement, scientists have conducted numerous studies to determine if Tiedmann's assertion was correct. Most studies have looked into the link between head size and intelligence. More recently, however, researchers have published additional studies on brain size and intelligence, measured using MRI scan(核磁共振成像扫描).
For his study, McDaniel analyzed more than 20 studies that looked into the relationship between brain size and intelligence in a total of 1,530 people. The studies showed that on the average, people with larger brain volume tended to be more intelligent. The relationship between brain volume and intelligence was stronger in women than men, and in adults than in children. McDaniel notes in the journal Intelligence.
McDaniel is not sure why the relationship was stronger for adults and women. "Other research has shown that women, on the average, tend to have smaller brains than men, but score just as well—if not higher—in tests of intelligence," he said.
McDaniel insisted that the relationship between brain size and intelligence is not a "perfect" one. "One can certainly find lots of examples of smaller-sized people who are highly intelligent," he said, "But, on the average, the relationship holds."
【1】What does the text mainly talk about?
A. MRI scans are applied to intelligence.
B. On the average, a bigger brain means higher IQ.
C. Dr McDaniel did well in his intelligence study.
D. Scientists are interested in Tiedmann's idea.
【2】By mentioning Albert Einstein, the writer wants to show ________.
A. Albert Einstein was intelligent
B. the result of intelligence test was false
C. being hard working is more important than intelligence
D. brain size doesn't necessarily decide the level of intelligence
【3】After Frederich Tiedmann wrote his article, ________ .
A. many scientists agreed with him
B. numerous studies have failed to prove his idea
C. MRI scan became popularly used
D. lots of researchers were interested in the connections between head size and intelligence
30、Several recent cases of violence against students at U.S. colleges have made global headlines, causing questions about the safety of America’s campuses. Yet statistics from the U.S. government show that the number of crimes reported at colleges and universities actually decreased in recent years. ________, most colleges have stepped up security measures, employing new technology and________ services to increase campus safety.
At New York University, the Safe Ride van service is a routine part of college life. Dana Reszutek used the service at night to travel between campus buildings, which are staffed with security guards for additional________. One night, when a stranger followed Reszutek to her residence hall, he was stopped by the guard. “I wasn’t harmed or touched,” she said. “It’s________ like these that show how high a level of importance safety is to NYU.”
The most recent campus-security trend is probably the introduction of mobile safety apps, which enable students to________ panic buttons, spread their GPS locations or even turn their smartphones into________ devices soothers can see what’s happening. LiveSafe helps students________ information with each other and with law-enforcement officers. Its SafeWalk feature allows students’ friends to________ walk them home by watching their progress on a map. “It’s a great way to increase communication about safety and to break down barriers between students as they________ for one another,” its developer said.
Since most students are never without their smartphones, some feel mobile apps provide better security than the blue-light emergency call boxes dotting most campuses. Yet Thomas Clark, a lieutenant in Western Illinois University’s Public Safety Office, said the boxes—which connect callers to emergency responders—provide an important “________ layer of protection.”
It’s also important for students to take responsibility for their own safety. Becoming familiar with local neighborhoods and campus services are key. In safety tips posted online, many universities and campus police departments emphasize alertness and basic safeguards such as traveling in groups and familiarizing yourself with your________.
Personal-safety expert David Nance says the most important thing students can do is to be________—which means not being distracted by smartphones or other devices. He also recommends learning________ techniques, knowing common distraction tricks used by attackers and keeping a safe distance from strangers.
Students who are thinking about studying in the U.S. can________ campus safety before applying to or deciding on a particular school. Federal law requires American colleges and universities to________ crime statistics every year. This information may be included on a school’s website or can be found online through the U.S. Department of Education’s Campus Safety.
