26、

Do you have imagination? Do you like to solve problems? Can you? If so, you could be the next great inventor. “But I’m just a kid，” you might say! Don’t worry about a little thing like age. For example, one famous inventor — Benjamin Franklin — got his start when he was only 12. At that young age, he created paddles for his hands to help him swim faster. Finally his creation led to what we know is called flippers!

So you don’t have to be an adult to be an inventor. One thing you do need, though, is something that kids have plenty of: curiosity and imagination. Kids are known for looking at things in new and unique ways.

So what should you do if you have what is a great idea for an invention? Talk to a friend or family member about it. Get input from others about your idea. Then ask them to help you create a working model — called a prototype (原型) — of your idea.

Once you have a prototype, you can test it. Sometimes your idea turns out to be not as great as you thought. At other times, though, you realize it is a good idea and your prototype can help you figure out how to make it even better.

If your idea is really a good one, an adult can help you contact companies that might be interested in it. You will also want an adult’s help to get a patent (专利权) for your idea, so that it is protected and can’t be stolen by someone else. If you need some inspiration, consider these kids and their inventions：

Jeanie Low invented the Kiddie Stool when she was just 11. It’s a folding stool that fits under the kitchen sink. Kids can unfold it and use it to reach the sink all by themselves.

At the age of 15, Louis Braille invented the system named after him that allows the blind to read.

Chelsea Lanmon received a patent when she was just 8 for the “pocket diaper”， a new type of diaper that includes a pocket for holding baby wipes and powder.

【1】By saying “But I’m just a kid”， you probably mean you ________.

A．are too young to achieve anything

B．can do anything though you are young

C．are old enough to become an inventor

D．have to learn knowledge from other people

【2】Which of the following is the right order of an invention?

A．a patent—a prototype—a good idea—an invention

B．an invention—a good idea—a patent—a prototype

C．a good idea—a prototype—an invention—a patent

D．a prototype—a patent—a good idea—an invention

【3】Who invented something that helps the blind to read?

A．Jeanie Low.

B．Benjamin Franklin.

C．Chelsea Lanmon.

D．Louis Braille.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?

A．Kids have curiosity and imagination

B．There are some world famous inventors

C．Kids are exactly like adults in a way

D．It is possible for kids to be inventors

27、Helen Thayer, one of the greatest explorers of the 20th century, loves challenges. She says, “I like to see what’s on the other side of the hill.” She has gone almost everywhere to do that.

In 1988, at the age of 50, she became the first woman to travel alone to the North Pole. She pulled her own sled (雪橇) piled with 160 pounds of supplies, and during her trip no one brought her fresh supplies. Accompanied (陪伴) only by her dog Charlie, she survived cold weather and meetings with polar bears. In fact, Charlie saved her life when one of them attacked her. Near the end of her trip, a forceful wind blew away the majority of her supplies. The last week of the trip, she survived on a handful of nuts and a little water each day.

Helen goes to challenging places not only for adventure, but also for education. Before her Arctic journey, she started a website called Adventure Classroom. On the site, she shares her adventures in order to motivate (激发) students. She explains, “Although kids often see the world in a negative way, without hope for their future, we work to inspire them to set goals, plan for success and never give up…” Helen grew up in New Zealand. Her parents were athletes and mountain climbers. Following hw parents’ example, she climbed her first mountain at 9. Later, she climbed the highest mountains in North and South America, the former USSR and New Zealand.

In 1996, she took on another challenge-the Sahara Desert. She and her husband, Bill, walked 2,400 miles across it! In 2001, she and Bill traveled on foot from west to east through the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. They hope to travel in mainland China into Sichuan and Tibet to study pandas this year.

Helen plans to continue taking trips. She’ll use her colorations, writing, photography and environmental work to create programs for her Adventure Classroom website. She wants to inspire her students never to stop facing challenges!

28、Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative meaning.

So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation. But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.

Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.

But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.

“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’, just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’.” She adds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

“All of us work through problems in ways of which we’re unaware,” she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways: analytically, procedurally, collaboratively and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.

The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system — that anyone can do anything,” explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2006 book This Year I Will…and Ms. Markova’s business partner. “That’s a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you’re good at and doing even more of it creates excellence.” This is where developing new habits comes in.

【1】Brain researchers have discovered that .

A．the forming of new habits can be guided

B．the development of habits can be predicted

C．the regulation of old habits can be transformed

D．the track of new habits can be created unconsciously

【2】The underlined word“ruts”in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to .

A．zones

B．connections

C．situations

D．tracks

【3】Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova’s view?

A．Decision makes no sense in choices.

B．Curiosity makes creative minds active.

C．Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind.

D．Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.

【4】The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us .

A．to give up our traditional habits deliberately

B．to create and develop new habits consciously

C．to resist the application of standardized testing

D．to believe that old habits conflict with new habits

29、The increase in primate (灵长类动物) ecotourism is causing stress-related behaviors in monkeys, according to a new study.

The study, led by the University of Portsmouth, looked at the effect of a single engine motor boat approaching a community of proboscis monkeys. Those monkeys are unusual with their very long noses, which makes them appealing to tourists. And many of the boats carrying the tourists approach the primates quickly and loudly, often reaching the river banks just a few meters away from the wildlife.

The researchers conducted the experiment by approaching the monkeys in a motor boat with different speeds and travel distances — fast-close (approaching the monkeys for 10 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of 14. 4 km/hr), slow-close (approaching the monkey for 40 seconds when 40 meters away at a speed of 3. 6 km/hr), and slow-far conditions (approaching the monkeys for 20 seconds when 100 meters away, at a speed of 3. 6 km/hr).

The results showed that the monkeys displayed stress-related behaviors for longer in the fast-close and slow-close conditions and also reduced feeding as a result of the boat approaching in the fast-close condition. Once the boat started to approach, the proboscis monkeys showed repeated scratching (挠, 搔) and often moved quickly backwards to hide in the trees. This could potentially cause the monkeys to leave their safe sleeping sites and to go deep into the forest as it gets dark, where they could face a higher risk of predation (捕食行为).

“Collectively, our findings suggest that the approach of a single motor boat led to stress in proboscis monkeys when they were approached as closely as 60 meters from the other side of the river, regardless of the speed of approach,” said Dr Marina Davila Ross, lead author of the study.

The researchers thus propose that guidelines for primate tourism in the riverside areas should include an approach speed of no more than 4 km/hr within 100 meters of the proboscis monkeys. They suggest it is also important to keep a distance, preferably no closer than 60 meters away, from the monkeys.

“Such information might be helpful for tourists, allowing them to change their behaviors when visiting the primates and when encouraging guides to follow the guidelines,” Dr Davila Ross added.

A．They are very attractive to tourists.

B．They generally do no harm to humans.

C．They are put on the line by the motor boats.

A．They found the slow-close condition most stressful.

B．They tended to go hunting when faced with danger.

C．They lost their sense of safety at the sound of motorboats.

D．They lost their way very easily at the sight of motorboats.

【3】What do the researchers advise tourists to do?

A．To approach proboscis monkeys less frequently.

B．To avoid getting too close to proboscis monkeys.

C．To ask guides for more information about proboscis monkeys.

D．To behave themselves while trying to feed proboscis monkeys.

【4】What does the text mainly tell us?

A．Ecotourism has led to a better understanding of primates

B．Ecotourism makes it possible to get close to the primates

C．Ecotourism is contributing to the conservation of primates

D．Ecotourism is having a negative effect on primate behavior
