21、Where do dogs come from?

Gray wolves are their ancestors. Scientists are pretty consistent about that. And researchers have suggested that dogs’ origins can date back to Europe, the Near East, Siberia and South China. Central Asia is the newest and best candidate, according to a large study of dogs from around the world.

Laura M. Shannon and Adam R. Boyko at Cornell University, and an international group of other scientists, studied not only purebred(纯种的) dogs, but also street or village dogs.

Dr. Shannon analyzed three different kinds of DNA, Dr. Boyko said, the first time this has been done for such a large and diverse group of dogs from 38 countries. And that led them to Central Asia as the place of origin for dogs in much the same way that genetic studies have located the origin of modern humans in East Africa.

The analysis, Dr. Boyko said, pointed to Central Asia, as the place where “all the dogs alive today” come from. The data did not allow precise dating of the origin, he said, but showed it occurred at least 15,000 years ago.

Greger Larson of Oxford University, who is leading a large international effort to analyze ancient DNA from fossilized bones, said he was impressed by the study. “It’s really great to see not just the number of street dogs, but also the geographic breadth and the number of remote locations where the dogs were sampled,” he said in an email. He also praised the sampling of different kinds of DNA and the analytic methods.

Dr. Larson, who was not involved with the study, said he thought the Central Asia finding required further testing. He said he suspected that the origins of modern dogs were “extremely messy” and that no amount of sampling of living populations will be definitive. He said a combination of studies of modern and ancient DNA is necessary.

【1】According to the research on a large number of dogs, we can know____________.

A. dogs mainly lived in Europe and the Far East

B. dogs would like to live in Central Asia

C. dogs’ ancestors come from gray wolves

D. the Near East has many gray wolves

【2】What can we infer from what Dr. Boyko said?

A. There are three different kinds of DNA in dogs.

B. This is the second time they have done so many dogs.

C. They only do research on village dogs from many countries.

D. Modern humans are from East Africa while dogs come from Central Asia.

【3】Greger Larson got a very deep impression of his study because he____________.

A. found the study based on many different dogs and the sample dogs’ remote locations

B. saw the number of street dogs from fossilized bones

C. watched the geographic breadth of the sampled dogs

D. praised his teammates for their hard work on the dogs

【4】Who wasn’t engaged in the study of dogs’ origins?

A. Laura M. Shannon   B. Adam R. Boyko

C. Shannon and Boyko D. Greger Larson

22、Millions of youngsters across Europe could suffer permanent hearing loss if they listen to MP3 players at too high a volume for more than five hours a week, EU scientists warned Monday.

The scientists’ study, requested by the European Commission, argued against the concept of “leisure noise,” saying children and teenagers should be protected from increasingly high sound levels. “There has been increasing concern about exposure from the new generation of personal music players which can reproduce sounds at very high volumes without loss of quality,” the Commission, the EU’s executive department, said in a statement.

Risk for hearing damage depends on sound level and exposure time. However, more and more young people have been exposed to the significant threat that leisure noise posed(造成) to hearing in the past decade. Commission experts estimate that between 50 and 100 million people listen to portable (便携式的) music players on a daily basis. If they listened for only five hours a week at more than 89 decibels (分贝), they would already go beyond EU limits for noise allowed in the workplace, they said. But if they listened for longer periods, they would risk permanent hearing loss after five years.

The scientists calculated the number of people in that risk category at between 5 and 10 percent of listeners, meaning up to 10 million people in the European Union. Sales of personal music players have increased in EU countries in recent years, particularly of MP3 players. Commission experts estimate unit sales between 184 and 246 million for all portable audio devices just over the last four years, of which MP3 players range between 124 and 165 million.

Loud mobile phones also came under fire. “I am concerned that so many young people who are frequent users of personal music players and mobile phones at high volume levels, may be unknowingly damaging their hearing,” said Meglena Kuneva, the EU’s consumer affairs official in her statement.

【1】What could cause hearing damage according to the text?

A．Increasing concern about personal music players.

B．The sales of all portable audio devices.

C．Sounds at very high volumes from music players.

D．The use of mobile phones of poor quality.

【2】What is the safe way to use music players according to the experts?

A．Ban the use of portable music players.

B．Reduce the number of young users.

C．Never use personal music players in the workplace.

D．Use music players by the limit of time and volume.

【3】What is Meglena Kuneva’s attitude towards the frequent use of MP3 players?

A．Doubtful.

B．Negative.

C．Favorable.

D．Indifferent.

【4】What's the best title for the text?

A．Turn Your MP3 Players Down!

B．No More Sales, No More Threat!

C．Enjoy Music, Enjoy Life!

D．Fill in Your Leisure Time with Entertainment!

24、Exploit your parking space

An unused parking space or garage can make money. If you live near a city center or an airport, you could make anything up to £200 or £300 a week. Put an advertisement（广告）for free on Letpark or Atmyhousepark.

Rent（出租）a room

Spare room? Not only will a lodger（房客）earn you an income, but also, thanks to the government-backed “rent a room” program, you won’t have to pay any tax on the first £4500 you make per year. Try advertising your room on Roomspare or Roommate easy.

Make money during special events

Don’t want a full-time lodger? Then rent on a short-term basis. If you live in the capital, renting a room out during the Olympics or other big events could bring in money, Grashpadder can advertise your space.

Live on set

Renting your home out as a “film set” could earn you hundreds of pounds a day, depending on the film production company and how long your home is needed.
