24、 Once there was a piano player in a bar. People came just to hear him play. But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.
"I don't sing," said the man.
But the lady told the waiter, "I'm tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!"

25、Movies for the Blind?
When you think of the cinema, the phrase "watching a movie" probably comes to mind, and, in fact, moviemakers work very hard to make their films interesting visually. But movies also contain stories, dialogues, music and sound effects --- things that people don't need to see in order to enjoy.
Movie reviewer Marty Klein has created a website to help visually impaired (受损的) people choose movies that they can follow without the help of an assistant to explain what is happening on the screen. Klein gives movies a rating from 1 to 10 based on several factors. A movie receives a high rating if there are only a few main characters whose voices are easy to recognize. Klein also likes an interesting story without too many changes in time and place. A large amount of dialogue between the characters is better than long silences or noisy action scenes.
Of course, visually impaired people can enjoy many films with the help from a friend who doesn’t mind explaining the parts of a movie that can only be seen. But that means that someone is talking during the movie, which could annoy some audience members. It also means that these people cannot go to the movies independently. To solve these problems, some movie theaters have begun to offer recorded audio descriptions of the movements, scenery, and special effects that other audience members can see on the screen. Visually impaired moviegoers receive a wireless headset to wear during the movie. This allows them to listen to the narration (叙述) while still hearing a movie's music and other sounds that surround them in the theater.
Another blind movie reviewer, Jay Forry, writes movie reviews that are published on his website. He also writes for newspapers and is a guest on radio shows. Forry gives movies one of five ratings, including, "So good, blind people will like it" and "I'm glad I couldn't see it." Forry became a writer after going blind at the age of 20 and he decided to go to college. His first articles appeared in the college newspaper, and Forry's writing skills and sense of humor are what keep people reading his reviews or listening to them on the radio. After "watching" The Sixth Sense, Forry commented that he thought the movie was excellent, but that he envied the boy who was the main character: "He had six senses, and I only have four."
【1】Which movie might receive a good rating from Marty Klein?
A. A action film with many fight scenes.
B. A science fiction movie about time travel into the past and the future
C. A romantic comedy with four main characters and lots of conversations.
D. An adventure with many explosions and special effects.
【2】According to the article, how are some movie theaters dealing with the problem of blind people going to movies?
A. They are asking the assistants not to annoy the other audience members.
B. They are providing headsets so blind people can hear a recorded narration.
C. They are providing trained employees to describe the movie to blind people.
D. They are asking blind people to enjoy the music and the other sounds in the theater.
【3】What is the main idea of the article?
A. More and more blind people enjoy going to movies.
B. Marty Klein and Jay Forry write movie reviews for blind people.
C. Moviemakers are trying to make films more interesting for the blind.
D. Movie reviews and new technologies make it easier for the blind to enjoy the movies.
26、Hey girls, if the boys in your class are acting silly, you might as well leave them alone. You are far more sensible than them, aren’t you?
There is science to back up this theory. Scientists from Newcastle University, UK, and Seoul University, South Korea, found that the brain matures (成熟) earlier in girls than in boys. This is partly because of the way children’s brains are “pruned.”
As the brain matures, it begins to cut out unimportant information and focus on important information. This process is called “pruning.”
In order to learn more about this process, scientists scanned the brains of 121 people aged between 4 and 40. They found that pruning began much earlier in girls. Between the ages of 10 and 12, a girl’s brain will start to see a lot of activities as the pruning process starts. But for boys, this doesn’t start until the age of 15 to 20.
During this process, the brain will turn off memories, sounds or sights that appear several times. But important connections, like linking the sound of a familiar person’s voice to their face, are kept.
“The loss of connectivity during brain development can help to improve brain function,” scientist Sol Lim told the Daily Telegraph.
To understand this more easily, imagine you are at a party and everyone is talking. You can’t concentrate. But if you “turn off” some of the voices, it is easier to hear the others. The brain works in a similar way.
【1】What did the scientists find?
A. Boys usually focus on unimportant information.
B. Girls never focus on unimportant information.
C. Girls mature earlier than boys.
D. Connectivity helps improve brain function.
【2】What does the underlined word “pruned”probably mean?
A. 删减 B. 成长 C. 改变 D. 损失
【3】What happens during the process “pruning”?
A. The brain doesn’t work for a moment.
B. You can’t remember, hear or see.
C. The connections between things disappear.
D. Brains develop to focus on important information.
【4】What can we know from the passage?
A. Boys are more silly than girls.
B. Boys are less sensible than girls.
C. You can never concentrate at the parties.
D. Brains function better after losing some connections.
27、Human, Don’t Come too Close
|
When we see babies or pets, we can’t help gently touching them to show our love. And they give us happy feelings back. But a recent study shows that it’s different for plants.
A study, published in The Plant Journal, shows that plants don’t “like” to be touched. That’s because touching changes their genes (基因) and, even worse, can slow their growth.
Professor Jim Whelan of the La Trobe Institute in Australia gave an explanation. “The lightest touch from a human, animal, insect, or even plants touching each other in the wind, leads to a huge gene change in the plant,” Science Daily reported.
In order to test the theory, the scientists did an experiment on plants. They grew a number of plants to the age of four weeks. Then they touched them with a paintbrush every 12 hours over a 36-hour period.
They found that as a response to the touch, the mitochondria (线粒体) in the plants had been partly destroyed. The mitochondria, as Science Alert noted, are the “powerhouse of the cell (细胞)”. The mitochondria produce energy for the rest of the cell in both animals and plants.
If this “powerhouse” is weakened, the plants will lose a large amount of energy that should have supported their growth. Whelan further explained to Science Daily, “If the touching is repeated, then plant growth is reduced by up to 30 percent.”
Although the process does have a strong effect on plants, usually the plants survive. Touching changes the plants, but it’s not necessarily a bad change.
According to Science Alert, frequent touching or moving plants will make them grow shorter than other ones. The researchers believe this change, in some way, could be helpful. It may help plants fight threats to their health such as insects and bad weather.
The new research findings have led to a deeper understanding of the plants’ response to touching. And the research might “open up new ways to reduce sensitivity (敏感性) and improve growth in the future”, Science Alert reported.
【1】Why did the scientists do the experiment?
A．To test if touching can change the genes of plants.
B．To show that plants’ and animals’ genes are different.
C．To tell when touching has effect on plants and animals.
D．To find out why some plants grow more slowly than others.
【2】What did the scientists find in their experiment?
A．Repeated touching shortened the plants’ life by four weeks.
B．Touching slowed down plant growth by reducing energy for growth.
C．Repeated touching made plants die sooner than they were expected to.
D．Mitochondria in the plants couldn’t produce energy because of touching.
【3】What do the scientists think of the fact that touch makes plants become shorter?
A．The plants will be more likely to be attracted by insects.
B．The plants will be more easily harmed by bad weather.
C．The plants will be less sensitive to being touched.
D．The plants will be better at fighting dangers.
