26、 "Click!" That's the sound of a seat belt(安全带)locking in place【1】So I don't drive anywhere until I wear it Choosing to wear your seat belt is as simple as choosing between life and death. Which one do you choose?
Think about it. When you are driving in a car, you may be going 60 MPH or faster. Then somebody ahead of you locks up his or her brakes. Your car, which was going 60 MPH, has now suddenly stopped. Your body, however, is still going 60 MPH.【2】Will it be the windshield(挡风玻璃)or your seat belt? I choose the seat belt.
【3】They think that seat belts don't allow them much space to move freely in the car. To them, what's more uncomfortable? Wearing a seat belt or flying through a car windshield?
Let's just take a closer look at your choices. If you are not wearing your seat belt, you can hop around the car and slide in and out of your seat easily. You are more likely to die or suffer serious injuries. 【4】That means you are much more likely to walk away unharmed from a car accident.
Wearing a seat belt does not always ensure your safety. You can still get hurt or killed while wearing seat belts.【5】You are much less likely to get seriously injured or killed in a car accident. So why not take the safer way?

E.If you are wearing a seat belt, you have to stay in your seat.
F.If you don't have a seat belt on, the police can give you a ticket.
G.But wearing them has proven to' be safer than driving without them
27、Monkeys seem to have a way with numbers.
A team of researchers trained three Rhesus monkeys to associate 26 clearly different symbols made up of numbers and selective letters with 0-25 drops of water or juice as a reward. The researchers then tested how the monkeys added the symbols to get the reward.
Here's how Harvard Medical School scientist Margaret Livingstone, who led the team, described the experiment: In their cages the monkeys were provided with touch screens. On one part of the screen, a symbol would appear, and on the other side two symbols inside a circle were shown. For example, the number 7 would appear on one side of the screen and the other end would have 9 and 8, with the sum of the numbers—17 in this example.
After carrying out hundreds of tests, the researchers found that the monkeys would choose the higher values more than half the times, showing that they were performing a simple addition, not just memorizing the value of two numbers.
When the team examined the results of the experiment more closely, they noticed that the monkeys tended to underestimate(低估)a sum compared with a single symbol when the two were close in value—sometimes choosing, for example, a 13 rather than the sum of 8 and 6. The underestimation was systematic: When adding two numbers, the monkeys always paid attention to the larger of the two, and then added only a small part of the smaller number to it.
"This shows that there is a certain way in which numbers are represented in their brains, "Dr. Livingstone says. "But in this experiment what they're doing is paying more attention to the big number than the little one."
【1】What did the researchers do to the monkeys before testing them?
A.They trained them.
B.They named them.
C.They fed them.
D.They examined them.
【2】How did the monkeys get their reward in the experiment?

A.They could memorize numbers easily.
B.They could understand simple words.
C.They could perform basic addition.
D.They could hold their attention for long.
【4】In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A.Education.

28、Today was a really big day for me. The last time I spoke in class was three years ago and it was terrible. I tried to say the letter “W” and made that strange sound. Everyone laughed and I haven’t spoken in class since.
But it’s been going really well lately. I’ve got a great doctor and I’m allowed to use my computer in class all the time. And guess what? This is really big news! When I listen to music on my headphones I can speak without stuttering (结巴)! That’s why I agreed to talk at the science fair today.
So I arrived at school early this morning to practise with my group. Our project is about using bacteria (细菌) to eat plastic. Unfortunately, when it was my turn to speak, I was so nervous that I chose the wrong music on my MP3 player. So instead of Mozart I was listening to my dance collection. The problem is that when I have dance music on the headphones I can’t stop myself talking in the same rhythm (节奏) as the music. So it just sounds like I’m rapping (说唱)!
Most people in school had never heard me speak before. They were really surprised when I started doing a rap about bacteria that eat plastic. I could see they were laughing at me. But when I finished they all stood up and cheered.
After we finished, everyone wanted to know me. They didn’t know about my secret use of the music on my headphones, so they just thought I was a great rapper! I checked my phone at lunchtime and I’ve got 187 new friend requests!

29、Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents(洲).
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document(记录) his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old.
Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.
【1】Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

【2】What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. His website inspires others a lot.
D. He used to work as a salesman.
