I was looking forward to a quiet view (观察) of the art works.

21、A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted non-stop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husbands patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I

22、 moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words,_I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it int

23、o a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife come

If your brain is taking in material quickly, youre clever; if not, well, that do

29、esnt say great things about your IQ. But science shows context (上下文) and technique (技术) actually play a big role in how fast we learn, and even small changes like the way you use to read can make a big difference.Audio (音频的) books have plenty of advantages: you can enjoy them anywhere, even in the c

30、ar, and not printing books saves trees. Poor readers also often find them more interesting. But according to the latest research, if your goal isnt to pass the time in traffic, but instead to learn something difficult, you should choose a physical book.In a recent opinion piece in the New York Times

31、, psychology (心理学) professor Daniel T.Willingham mentioned a 2010 study where 48 students either read or listened to an article about child psychology. Although the students spent the same amount of time with their material and did about the same number of distracting (分散注意力) activities while they a

32、bsorbed the information, they scored very differently on a 10-item quiz later. Generally, the readers scored 81 percent but while the listeners scored 59 percent. Why does listening vs reading material have such a great effect on learning?Willingham explains that first, most of us read more slowly t

33、han we listen (especially when pausing and rereading), and when youre trying to absorb new information, slower seems to be better. “About 10 to 15 percent of eye movements during reading are actually regressive meaning the eyes are going back and re-checking,” he explains to TIME. “This happens very

34、 quickly”Second, books offer visual cues (可视线索) that help our brains organize and understand new information. Things like chapter breaks, subheadings, and lists help us in making sense of the material and understanding how it fits together. You lose all that when you go the audio way.The bottom line

35、 is simple: Dont feel shame about passing your time in traffic with an audio book. However, be aware of audios limitations when it comes to studying, and seriously consider choosing good old-fashioned reading instead.1According to the writer, you should choose to read a book to _.Atake in the inform

36、ationBpass the time in trafficClearn something difficultDorganize new information2A “physical book” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_”.Aan audio bookBa book about physicsCa book about computerDa book made of paper or cloth3What can we learn from the passage?ATo read a book is better than to listen to

37、 it.BReaders are cleverer than listeners.CReading books is a good way to pass time.DHow fast we learn depends on how smart we are.D16、My sister Alice and I have been trying to get people to stop dropping cigarette butts(烟头)for seven years.

We called it “No Butts About It”.At first, we drew pictures with “The Earth is not your ashtray(烟灰缸)”written on them. We put the pictures around our hometown-in parks, by b

40、o give to smokers.

46、percent of the worlds population will be suffering from a serious depressionA recent research shows that the more teenagers watch television, the more likely they are to develop depression as young adults.The researchers used a nationwide long-term survey of teenage health to investigate(调查) the rel

47、ationship between media(传播媒介) use and depression. They based their findings on more than four thousand teenagers who were not depressed when the survey began in 2000.As part of the survey, the young people were asked how many hours of television or videos they watched daily. They were also asked how

48、 often they played computer games and listened to the radio. Media use totaled an average of five and one-half hours a day. More than two hours of that was spent watching TV.Seven years later, in 2007, more than seven percent of the young people had signs of depression. The average age at that time

49、was twenty-one.The researchers say they did not find any such relationship with the use of other media such as movies, video games of radio etc. But the study did find that every extra hour of television meant an eight percent increase in the chances of developing signs of depression. Young men were

50、 more likely than young women to develop depression given the same amount of media use.The study didnt explore if watching TV causes depression. But one possibility is that it was taking time away from activities that could help prevent depression.Last December, the journal Social Indicators Researc

51、h published a study of activities that help lead to happy lives. Sociologists from the University of Maryland found that people who describe themselves as happy spend less time watching television than unhappy people.
