9、ty semester.BThree boys were enjoying themselves in their hometown of Bovina, Mississippi .However, their lives were turned upside down when they discovered the jawbone of a Mastodon (齿乳象).Brothers Shawn and Caid Sellers and cousin Michael Mahalitc found the prehistoric bone in a piece of earth that

10、 was recently plowed (犁、耕).“I thought it was a log,” Caid said.“I tried to pick it up and it was really heavy and I saw teeth on it.” The bone weighed about 50 pounds.They eventually got the bone to their home and fitted it in their tub (浴盆), but it took their collective strength, might and a golf c

11、art, to carry the large Mastodon bone.“They didnt expect to find that,” Michaels mom said.“Now that they have, I believe that they will be more aware of their surroundings and what theyre digging up when they are digging and playing.”“Weve gotten a lot of petrified (石化的) wood and Civil War relics fr

12、om the area and thats what I thought it was,” the brothers mother said.“This is our first set of teeth weve found.So we thought it was their imagination.We were quite surprised to see that it was not their imagination.”They were exploring near the brothers home.Lo and behold (真想不到), they saw what th

13、ey thought resembled a fossil.It was the curator of paleontology (古生物负责人) of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, George Phillips, who first identified the bone as a “very mature individual.”The Mastodon was a mammal who lived during the prehistoric times . They had long tusks and trunks, like

14、 elephants.They were clearly different from their modern-day counterparts, as well as woolly mammoths (猛犸).4.How did they find the jawbone of a Mastodon?A.With great efforts.B.By chance.C.Instructed by an expert.D.Through imagination.5At first the brothers mother thought the jawbone was .A.from peop

17、al”D.U nexpectedly Discovering Mastodon JawboneCbeen enough for most people, but now? The public need a trendy notebook computer and a smart phone with WiFi connection to feel they are up-to-date. So when will we have enough things? When will we finally be happy? Well, it looks like the things we bu

18、y today will barely keep us satisfied for a few months.In the eyes of some psychologists, far from making us happy, greater consumer choice creates many serious psychological problems. A fundamental principle of the society is that more freedom is better and more choice in the marketplace means more

19、 freedom. Therefore more choice leads to more happiness. This is not the case, however.Imagine you go to a caf offering chocolate and vanilla ice cream. You choose the chocolate and eat it happily. But what if the caf serves 50 kinds of ice cream? You choose chocolate and then start to worry, “maybe

20、 blueberry would have been better, perhaps the half-fat ice cream would have been healthier. Stupid me, all these choices and I didnt make the best one! ”In Chinas major cities we have now passed the point where more consumer choice is making us happier. We are annoyed by all the options we have, di

21、sappointed because our expectations are so high and angered at ourselves when we don t make a perfect choice every time.A newspaper reporter tells a story about traveling on a plane with high-speed Internet access. He thought this was amazingthe newest piece of technology he had heard of. Then the s

22、ervice went down. The man next to him was angry and swore. The reporter thought, “How quickly the world owes him something he knew existed only 10 seconds ago!”8.What is the text mainly talking about?A.Hi-tech and consumer needs.B.Computers and smart phones.C.Wireless products and WiFi connection.D.

25、ucation look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.“Were at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, p

26、ublic colleges, and land-grant schools in the timeline of America.In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of change ever, with several multi-trillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent projection, the nations population could reach

27、435 million, with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollable” in many parts of the world.The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels, particularly in math and science,

28、and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainable environment, and longer life spans that most Americans share.“How

29、is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. We are part of the problem.”Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said, are the strict separation o

30、f disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.Since 2002, when Crow started being in

31、charge at Arizona State which he calls the “new American university” he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to take risks.”Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life s

32、ciences schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened acce

33、ss, increasing the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by 500 percent.Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells us we have t

34、o be.” Research universities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He discussed, for example, the schools distance-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of undergraduates are taking at l

35、east one course online,” he said, which helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning technologies.He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their

36、 later degrees. “Weve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.12.The fourth wave of change in Americas higher education refers to _.A.public collegesB.land-grant schoolsC.ini

They can leave you embarrassed and without energy. However,

40、 crying is a fact of life, and tears are very useful. Even when youre not crying, they make a film(薄膜)over the eyes surface. 16_When tears fall, they reduce stress. But we tend to fight them for all sorts of reasons. People worry about showing their emotions, afraid that once they lose control theyl

47、seated herself next to the white bucket where the man was 8 planning to put the fish he caught.However, suddenly a 9 came to my mind. Is it dangerous for Drew to stay there with the stranger?
