He was over the moon to find the laptop waiting for him,and then very surprised that it was one of 2 ,900 left in taxis over the past six months!
Tunisia
Well,my brother took a Mediterranean cruise (巡游) one summer and had a day in Tunis. He spent most of the afternoon in the Medina buying presents when he suddenly realised he’d completely lost track of time and there was only half an hour before the ship left the port. There had been loads of yellow taxis in the centre so he wasn’t too bothered until he stood on the pavement and waited for one to appear — and of course there wasn’t a single one in sight!Nothing!He questioned a passer-by who explained that the cost for the taxi ride goes up in the evening so the taxi drivers disappear until they can charge higher prices!Luckily for my brother the man then offered to give him a lift and he caught the boat on time!

In a new study from the University of Iowa,
! researchers found that pigeoiis can categorize and name both nattffal and human-made objects — and not just a few objects. These birds categorized 128 photographs into 16 categories,and they did so simultaneously(同時地) .
Ed Wasserman,UI professor of psychology and I corresponding author of the study,says the finding I suggests a similarity between how pigeons learn :words and the way children do. “Our pigeons were trained on all 16 categories simultaneously,a much closer analog(類似物) of how children leam words I and categories,” Wasserman says of the study,published online in the journal Cognition.
For researchers like Wasserman,who has been;studying animal intelligence for decades,this latest!experiment is further proof that animals — whether primates(靈長目動物) ，birds,or dogs — are smarter than once assumed and have more to teach scientists.
“As our methods have improved,so too have!our understanding and appreciation of animal ：intelligence ,” Wasserman says. “Differences between :humans and animals must indeed exist: many are already known. But,they may be outnumbered by ;similarities. Our research on categorization in pigeons;suggests that those similarities may even extend to i how children learn words."
This time,researchers used a computerized version of the “name game” in which three pigeons were shown 128 black-and-white photos of objects from 16 basic categories. They then had to peck (啄) on one of two different symbols: the correct one for that photo and an incorrect one that was randomly chosen from one of the remaining 15 categories. The pigeons succeeded in learning the task.
Pigeons have long been known to be smarter than average birds. Among their many talents,pigeons have a “homing instinct(本能) ” that helps them find their way home from hundreds of miles away. They have better eyesight than humans and have been trained to spot orange life jackets of people lost at sea.
Wasserman acknowledges the recent pigeon study is not a direct analog of word learning in children and more work needs to be done. However,the model used in the study could lead to a better understanding of the associative principles involved in children's word learning. “That's the similarity that we are pursuing,but a single project — however creative it may be — will not be enough to answer such a big question ,” Wasserman says.
6. What does the new study indicate?
A. Aniinals are strange to scientists.
B. Animals are smarter than humans.
C. Animals are cleverer than we once thought.
D. Animals are less similar to humans than expected.
7. What can be concluded from the experiment?
A. Pigeons are good learners.
B. It is a complicated process to learn.
C. Humans do better in solving problems.
D. Pigeons learn differently from children.
8. What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A. How pigeons travel.
B. Why pigeons are smart.
C. Pigeons’ good eyesight.
D. Pigeons’ special ability.
9. What does the underlined part “a big question”(in the last paragraph) refer to?
A. How children learn words.
B. How animals get motivated to learn.
C. When children show eagerness to learn to speak.
D. If pigeohs and children leam words in a similar way.
10. The text is most likely to be taken out of a .

Recently I read a post that teaches you to double your 41 speed and made the following claim:
“42,the faster you can read,the more productive you can be. 43 you can double your reading speed,you can double your productivity.”
I 44 . I think you should read slower,and focus on doing things slower. It increases your 45 ,which is a 46 definition of productivity from “doing things faster”.
The post's argument was based on the 47 that every project involves a lot of reading — background materials,books,blog posts,and 48 . It didn't mention emails but that's another area where reading faster might seem more productive.
And I 49 that if you can finish that kind of reading,you’ 11 get the project done faster. And then you can 50 the next task and the next and the next!You’re 51！
But productivity isn’t about 52 ,even if we’ve been led to believe it is. It's about being effective. It's about accomplishing things — and that's about doing the most important things,not the 53 things.
When we speed through tasks and projects,we lose perspective. We forget what’s 54 and just try to do things as 55 as possible.
Instead,56 . Think about what’s most important,what needs to be done the most. Then clear everything else out of the way,and 57 . Do that one thing,but do it slowly,and do it very well.
If reading is important,focus on it,and do it slowly. It’11 be much more 58 ,and so will the project. When you absolutely love what you re doing,productivity is a 59 by-product.
So, slow down,don't speed up. Read slower — you’11 read less,60 enjoy it more.

Life skills,unfortunately,is an abstract and broad term for the abilities one would need for full participation in everyday life. So recently,I did a casual survey among my friends. I asked how they would determine whether an individual has,say,good social skills.
One said the language of such individuals would be grammatically correct and they would express their ideas clearly. Another said good eye contact was important. Yet another added to the list the ability to get along with people,not to take things personally and the ability to help others.
If most adults have difficulty defining the positive behaviours that are necessary to life skills,how do we know if students have acquired them the way I can describe on a report card?
Marlaine Paulsen Cover,founder of Parenting 2.0,has done just that.
Cover created a communication tool called the Life Skills Report Card (LSRC) . Similar in format to academic report cards,the LSRC divides life skills into five primary categories: personal care,organisation,respect for self and others,communication,and social. Sub-categories on the LSRC include: sleep,exercise,spirit'safety,time utilization,finances,ownership in problems and conflicts,altruism (無私) , and environmental consciousness.
She found that societies around the globe routinely supported children's active learning for music,sports,and academics. When it came to life skills,however,the popular perspective (觀念) was simply “children learn what they live”.
“Yet when children are poor in certain life skills,society is quick to pass a whole person judgment,” Cover says.
Life skills are necessary,because — to quote Scottish poet and novelist Robert Louis Stevenson — uto be what we are,and to become what we are capable of becoming,that is the only end of life”.
32. Why does the author raise the questions in Paragraph 1 ?
A. To present different ideas.
B. To expect reasonable answers.
C. To express his disappointment.
D. To introduce points for discussion.
33. How did the author feel about the result of the survey?
A. It was practical. B. It was worrying.
C. It was convincing. D. It was predictable.
34. What do we know about Cover's LSRC?
A. It has been widely used at schools.
B. It strongly emphasizes personal care.
C. It aims to change people's ideas about life skills.
D. It has something in common with academic report cards.
35. Cover''s words show that people tend to.
A. ignore the importance of life skills
B. encourage children's active learning
C. compare academic skills with life skills
D. look down upon children with poor life skills

In 1769,William Smith was bom in a little town in Oxfordshire,England. He received basic village schooling but mostly he wandered on his uncle's farm collecting the fossils in the rocks of the Cotswold hills. When he grew older Smith learned surveying from books and at 18 he learned from a local surveyor. He then began to teach himself geobgy (地質(zhì)學(xué)) .
When he was 24 ,he went to work for the company that was digging the Somerset Coal Canal in the south of England. This job gave Smith an opportunity to study the fresh strata created by the newly dug canal. He later worked on similar jobs across England all the while studying strata and collecting all the fossils he could find. Smith used mail coaches to travel 10 ,000 miles per year. In 1815 he published the first modem geological map UA Map of the Strata of England and Wales with a Part of Scotland”.
In 1831 when Smith was recognized by the Geological Society of London as the “father of English geology”，it was not only for his maps but also for something even more important. People had hoped strata could be used to calculate geological time,but scientists found the sequences（順序） of rocks sometimes differed from area to area and that no rock type was ever going to become a dependable time marker. Even without the problem of regional differences,rocks present a difficulty as unique time markers. Quartz （石英) is quartz; there's no difference between two-million-year-old quartz and quartz created over 500 million years ago.
As he collected fossils from strata,Smith noticed the fossils told a different story from the rocks. Particularly in the younger strata the rocks were often so similar that he had trouble distinguishing the strata,but he never had trouble telling the fossils apart. Some fossils appear in many strata,but others occur only in a few strata,and a few species had their births and extinctions within one particular stratum. Fossils are thus identifying markers for particular periods in Earth's history.
28. What do we know about young Smith?
A. He spent most of his time reading.
B. He showed much interest in geology.
C. He learned surveying just by himself.
D. He received a very good formal education.
29. Which can be used to describe Smith according to Paragraph 2 ?
A. Adventurous and brave.
B. Talented and productive.
C. Warm-hearted and honest.
D. Hard-working and devoted.
30. The author mentions quartz to show that .
A. no rock can be a reliable time marker
B. no quartz can be found in recent times
G. quartz can fell people rocks,geological time
D. the sequences of rocks differ from area to area
31. Which of the following is Smith's greatest achievement?
A. He drew many maps of strata.
B. He used fossils to identify strata.
C. He built a lot of canals in England.
D. He was the creator of modem geology.
