Sometimes it is difficult to talk to taxi drivers. They must give all their attention to the road as they work out the shortest way to the place where you are going. However, passengers from Wangfujing were in surprise when they took a taxi. The driver just would not stop talking ―in English.
Organized by the Cultural and Education Section of the British Embassy, “Dare to Speak” examines if Chinese people will speak English in “real-life” situations. Matthew Knowles, an acting student from South Carolina at Beijing Film Academy, acted the part as the “driver”. He collected six passengers on Saturday morning, most of whom were female white-collar workers.
“Of course they were surprised at first, wondering why I’m driving a taxi, and wondering whether this is a real taxi, but then most of them were pretty willing to speak,” he said. Knowles said he was also surprised by his “passengers”. “Apart from my first ‘passenger’, who could speak very little English, all the rest spoke English very well, and it was fun to communicate with them,” he said, adding that some “passengers” were quite talkative.
The “foreign taxi driver” project was just one of the “Dare to Speak” activities, which have been going on since the end of October. Other projects included a foreign store owner near a high school in Beijing, a cook in a Shanghai university canteen. They were testing the willingness of Chinese people, especially students and white-collar workers, to speak to foreigners in English. Rong Xin, senior manager of IELTS (雅思) with the British Embassy, said they hoped to let IELTS takers in China know that communication is the most important goal of IELTS.
“We hope that more and more IELTS takers in China can realize the importance of communicating in English in real life, instead of just getting high test scores,” she said.
1. Why did Matthew Knowles drive a taxi?
A. He enjoyed chatting with people in English.
B. He played the role of a taxi driver in a film.
C. He took part in the project “Dare to speak”
D. He wanted to improve his Chinese while driving.
2.The Chinese may meet and talk to _______ in “Dare to speak” projects.
A. a white-collar worker
B. a high school student
C. a restaurant manager
D. a foreign store owner
3.The purpose of the project “Dare to Speak” is to _______ .
A. draw Chinese people’s attention to IELTS
B. remind language learners of the goal of learning
C. attract more foreigners to start business in China
D. give more chances for English learners in China

Zebras have their own bug repellent(驅(qū)蟲劑)?
Eww bugs! They are so annoying! We humans are lucky that we can apply repellents to avoid nasty bites. But what’s an animal to do? They have no choice but to spend their days shooing them off with their tails, unless, of course, they are zebras, who apparently have their own automatic repellent--- their striped skin!
Scientists had originally thought that the reason why the animal had developed the black and white lines was to help protect itself from predators (食肉動物)in the African savannah(大草原), because the stripes make it difficult to single out one zebra that is traveling with a herd.While that may be true, the theory has never been tested or proven. Now the experts have another---that the stripes have evolved to repel the annoying horse flies that not only feed off their blood, but also, transmit dangerous germs into the bodies of these innocent animals.
The study was performed by a team of Swedish scientists. One of the clues that got them thinking along these lines was the fact that darker horses got bitten more often than light-colored or white ones.
The fact that zebras are born black and only develop stripes as they grow older made the scientists theorize that the stripes may be something the animals have developed to make themselves less attractive to flies.
To test if this may be the case, they painted some boards at a horse-infested(寄生的) horse farm in Budapest with patterns of black and white stripes of varying widths and applied a layer of glue on them. What they noticed was that the places where the black and white stripes were at their narrowest (similar to what zebras have) attracted the fewest flies. They achieved similar results when they painted horses with black and white zebra-like stripes.
While the research are not sure why this may be the case, they believe it may be something to do with the way insects operate---horseflies are attracted to horizontally polarized light(偏振光); since white does not reflect it, white horses are luckier than black ones. But zebras seem to be the luckiest of all. When the researchers measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins, they found that it matched light patterns that were the least attractive to horseflies.
While this theory does make logical sense, nobody is 100 percent sure that it is really true, given that it has never been tested on a real zebra. If it is true, it does raise the question of why a horse, a close relative of the zebra has failed to develop stripes. The researchers believe that this could be because there are more horseflies in Africa, where zebras reside, then anywhere else in the world.
Title | Zebras have their own bug repellent? | |
Reasons why zebras develop their strips | Original belief | With the black and white lines, one zebra is difficult to single out while traveling with a herd, thus ___1.__ it from its enemies. |
New theory | Zebras, residing in Africa where there are most horseflies in the world have developed strips to ___2.___ being attacked. | |
A study | Researchers | A team of scientists from ___3.___ |
_4.___ | To test if strips are developed to make zebras less attractive to flies. | |
Clues | *White or light-colored horses are less __5._ to get bitten than dark ones. *Zebras develop strips as they grow older though born black. | |
Method | *Some boards at a horse farm are painted with patterns of black and white stripes variously ___6.__ , a layer of glue applied on them. *Measured the polarized light reflected from real zebra skins. | |
_7.___ | *The places where the black and white stripes at the narrowest were similar to the __8.__zebras have attracted the fewest flies. *Strips of zebras matched light patterns that were the least attractive to horseflies. | |
Principle of zebras’ black and white strips repelling the flies | Horizontally polarized light, which white does not reflect, ___9.__ to horseflies. | |
Conclusion | ___10.___tested on real zebras, the theory isn’t definitely true. | |
