27、 In 2009, I rescued a skittish donkey. Bo came from a nearby cattle ranch and now lives peacefully on my ranch in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. But the key to Bo's successful recovery from nervous rescue to happy ranch animal wasn't anything I did. It was my grandson, Dylan.
Dylan came with his parents to spend some days with me on their way to Canada for a vacation. Bo kept his distance from the grown-ups, but he showed an unusual fascination with Dylan. So we decided to introduce them.
“Move slowly, be quiet, and stoop down sometimes,” I told my grandson. Dylan carefully approached Bo, step by step, holding a soft rubber currycomb. Bo held his ground, but he seemed interested by this little visitor. Dylan rubbed Bo's shoulders and neck with the comb, softly and gently.
It's hard for an almost four-year-old to stay still for long. Dylan made one quick move, and Bo was terrified running off. But Bo and Dylan were not ready to give up. Dylan approached again. It was amazing to witness a preschooler learn to control himself in such a short time.
As we watched, true love developed between this once distrustful donkey and a gentle boy. Over the next few days, Dylan felt free to sit at Bo's feet while Bo carefully nibbled his shirt collar and hair and rubbed Dylan's back with his bristly chin. Just as Dylan had earned Bo's trust, Bo came up to and hugged him --- yes, a donkey can hug — without knocking him off balance.
They met again one week later as the family passed through on their return trip. It was almost dark, but Dylan and his dad travelled far to reach the ranch. Bo came to meet them cheerfully. He is now a changed and trusting donkey.
【1】What can we learn about Bo according to paragraph 1?
A.He lived peacefully on a cattle ranch. B.He was rescued from the ranch by Dylan.
C.He was from Bitterroot Valley of Montana. D.He no longer suffers from nervousness.
【2】What does the underlined word “fascination” in the second paragraph probably mean?
A.Amusement. B.Interest. C.Patience. D.Respect.
【3】What happened after Bo was introduced to Dylan?
A.They became friends immediately. B.They were afraid of each other.
C.Dylan's sudden move frightened Bo. D.Bo refused the combing from Dylan.
【4】What can we infer from the story?
A.Dylan and Bo meet once a week. B.Dylan will stay on the ranch for Bo.
C.Dylan was knocked down by Bo. D.Dylan's gentleness has changed Bo.
28、
Scientists have discovered a new kind of invisible ink. It’s called water. And all you need for this secret-messaging ink to work is to write with it on a super-hi-tech piece of paper coated with special chemicals. 【1】 It shows up darker than the surrounding paper under UV(紫外线的) light.
When the message has been read and needs to be hidden again, get out your hairdryer, and blow some warm air on the paper. 【2】
Using hot air from a hairdryer for 15-30 seconds, you were able to reuse the special paper up to 30 times because the heat reorganized the chemical structure of the paper coating. 【3】
The invention was made by a group of scientists in China, led by Qiang Zhao of the Institute of Advanced Materials, Nanjing University of Posts and Telecommunications.
Although much of modern communication is digital(数码的), there are still some situations in which it is important to send messages on a piece of paper, such as when the people don’t have Internet. 【4】 But the problem has always been how to get rid of a message once it has been shown so no one else can read it.
【5】. To use it, write with the lemon juice on ordinary paper, iron(熨) the paper with a hot iron and the hidden message will appear. The downside(缺点) is that the paper has to be destroyed to hide the message so no one else can read it.
A.How to make the invisible ink? Follow the steps.
B.Invisible inks have long been used to send secret messages.
C.Without the heat, the message stayed visible for up to three months.
D.Previously, the most readily available invisible ink was lemon juice.
E.Shine a UV light on the coated paper and the water message becomes visible.
F.Then the message will be gone and the paper can be reused, which keeps costs low.
G.Putting water on the paper broke up the structure of the chemicals it was coated with.
29、Is It a Healthy Interest?
The Guinness Book of World Records describes Ranulph Fiennes as the world’s greatest living explorer. His journeys include the first polar circumnavigation (极地环行) and the first unsupported crossing of the Antarctic continent on foot. So when he suffered a heart attack, it came as something of a surprise.
Exercise is highly beneficial as it reduces both the pulse (脉搏) rate and the blood pressure so reducing stress on the heart as it brings blood round the body. It also helps to keep the artery (动脉) walls more elastic (有弹性的).
But can you push yourself too much? On the subject of exercise, it is good to take several parts of “moderate” exercise a week,which is a little more than quick walking. “We need to be careful when we’re doing extreme sports,” says expert Len Almond. “Extreme stress can make almost impossible demands on the body’s ability to recover. The stress of extreme sports forces biochemical changes in the body, and the physical response to that kind of activity will be too extreme.”
We all know how the Olympics began. The man who ran 26 miles from the town of Marathon to Athens with news of a victory died as soon as he arrived,and the cause of his sudden death might be the heart attack. Further research was done by scientists. They studied cyclists (自行车运动员) on a race that covers 230km with a height change of 5,500m. They were interested in one particular enzyme (酶), high concentrations of which are found in those who have suffered a heart attack. The scientists found that levels of this chemical increased in most of the cyclists who completed the race. The largest increases were seen in the fastest cyclists who had trained the hardest.
Most of us will never put our bodies to such extreme sports. But if, when you hear about someone like Fiennes,you ask whether exercise is worth it. I advise you to consider your own condition. Personally, I agree with the saying: “Run not to add years to your life but to add life to your years.”
【1】According to the passage, taking exercise can_______ .
A.speed up the heart rate
B.increase stress on the heart
C.reduce the blood pressure
D.keep the artery walls straight
【2】What does expert Len Almond suggest?
A.Our bodies can easily deal with physical stress.
B.Playing extreme sports is harmful to the human body.
C.We need a long period of recovery after extreme sports.
D.There is more to learn about the effect of physical stress.
【3】Why is the research on the cyclists mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A.To suggest a different area of research.
B.To support the activity of taking part in sports.
C.To explain the effect of a height change on cyclists.
D.To prove that extreme sports may cause heart attacks.
【4】The author believes that exercise_______.
A.helps you have a regular life
B.adds years to your life
C.should be done in moderation
D.will be worth the effort
