24、Darrius was born with three fingers on his right hand and one on his left hand. He had to work hard to do things that were easy for others. Every time his classmates tried to help, he would say, “Thanks, but I can do it myself.” He learned to use the four fingers to do different things.

When Darrius was 10, he told his father that he liked piano music very much. “It’s too bad you can’t play,” his father said. But the boy took that as a challenge. “I will show people that I can.” he said to himself.

Months later, a neighbour gave him an old piano when she moved away. He taught himself to play the piano and practised for hours a day.

Darrius’s favourite piano music is River Flows in You by Yiruma, a Korean musician. It took Darrius a year to learn it. “I have to come up with my own way with only 4 fingers.” he said.

When he succeeded, he felt so proud. Later he was lucky enough to play the music together with Yiruma at a famous concert hall! Yiruma encouraged Darrius to follow his dream of playing his own music. Darrius has made it. And his music is popular today.

“I may have a disability,” he says “but I don’t let it hold me back from anything.”

根据短文内容判断正误，正确的写（A），错误的写（B）。

【1】Darrius took owning a piano as a challenge at the age of 10.

【2】It took Darrius a dozen months to learn to play River Flows in You.

【3】A neighbour taught him to play the piano.

【4】His father encouraged him to follow his dream.

【5】We can learn “Where there is a will, there is a way.” from Darrius’ story.

25、   Keeping a busy social life among lots of friends may keep people thinner than spending several hours in a gym, according to scientists. Scientists believe social activities can release a brain chemical that changes white fat into brown fat. Brown fat burns calories (卡路里). To produce heat, while white fat keeps calories and make us fatter.

Changing white fat into brown fat is very difficult, generally requiring long-term exposure to cold conditions or making part of the body’s nervous (神经的) system active. However, scientists from Ohio State University think that having a busy social life is an even better way of carrying out this change.

Tests on mice showed that those lived in large communities and had more space and toys lost half of their stomach weight in four weeks, even if they ate more than those in boring, lonely environments. Researchers said that social excitement helps lose weight.

However, social activities make some people worried. Study writer Dr Matthew During said, “I’m still amazed at the degree of losing fat that happens. We often think of stress (压力) as a negative thing, but some kinds of stress can be good for your health.”

Explaining how new technology had reduced the chance for people to communicate face to face, he added, “It’s not just because of being short of exercise and high calorie foods, but an increasing lack of social activities. Loneliness is a deep cause of cancer and death, it’s just as dangerous as smoking. Social activities are very important.

26、   I’m the engine that keeps you working, and  I’m here to share some of my secrets. I have 100 billion nerve cells （神经细胞），so you need to consider before you blame （责怪）me for not being so fast enough. It’s not really my fault: information travels through me too fast and sometimes I can’t keep all of it.

The Internet is making me weak. A study found that you’ve been relying more on the Internet. That means I’m going to forget more over time. Scientists have been worried that our ability to think is being lost.

Your mobile phone scares me. A new study showed that more than one hour of mobile phone use can get me in trouble. Mobile phone radiation （辐射）might cause me to be in a worse situation.

Some parts of me never sleep. It’s important for you to get a good night’s sleep. Sleep helps to improve memories. In fact, when you are asleep, some parts of me are still working hard on my duty.
