74、alk on water has long interested humans greatly. Sadly, biological facts prevent us ever accomplishing such a thing without artificial aidwe simply weigh too much，and all our mass pushes down through our relatively small feet, resulting in a lot of pressure that makes us sink.However, several types
75、of animals can walk on water. One of the most interesting is the common basilisk Basilicus basilicus, a lizard (蜥蜴) native to Central and South America. It can run across water for a distance of several metres, avoiding getting wet by rapidly hitting the waters surface with its feet. The lizard will
76、 take as many as 20 steps per second to keep moving forward. For humans to do this, wed need huge feet that we could bring up to our ears in order to create adequate “hitting”But fortunately there is an alternative: cornflour. By adding enough of this common thickening agent to water (and it does ta
77、ke a lot), you can create a “nonNewtonian” liquid that doesnt behave like normal water. Now, if the surface of the water is hit hard enough, particles(粒子) in the water group together for a moment to make the surface hard. Move quickly enough and put enough force into each step, and you really can wa
78、lk across the surface of an adequately thick liquid of cornflour.Fun though all this may sound, its still rather messy and better read about in theory than carried out in practice. If you must do it, then keep the water wings handy in case you start to sinkand take a shower afterwards!44. Walking on

It is crazy and cannot become a reality.D. It is impractical though theoretically possible.20. 2014四川卷 EWomen are friendly.
82、But men are more competitive. Why? Researchers have found its all down to the hormone oxytocin(荷尔蒙催生素). Although known as the love hormone, it affects the sexes differently.“Women tend to be social in their behaviour. They often share with others. But men lend to be competitive. They are trying to i
83、mprove their social status，” said Professor Ryan.Generally, people believe that the hormone oxytocin is let out in our body in various social situations and our body creates a large amount of it during positive social interactions (互动) such as falling in love or giving birth.But in a previous experi
84、ment Professor Ryan found that the hormone is also let out in our body during negative social interactions such as envy.Further researches showed that in men the hormone oxytocin improves the ability to recognize competitive relationships, but in women it raises the ability to recognize friendship.
85、Professor Ryans recent experiment used 62 men and women aged 20 to 37. Half of the participants(参与者) received oxytocin. The other half received placebo(安慰剂)After a week, the two groups switched with participants. They went through the same procedure with the other material.Following each treatment,
86、they were shown some video pictures with different social interactions. Then they were asked to analyze the relationships by answering some questions. The questions were about telling friendship from competition. And their answers should be based on gestures, body language and facial expressions.The
87、 results indicated that, after treatment with oxytocin, mens ability to correctly recognize competitive relationships improved, but in women it was the ability to correctly recognize friendship that got better.Professor Ryan thus concluded, “Our experiment proves that the hormone oxytocin can raise

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important pap

He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.

99、than necessary was wasted effort. One day, this approach threw me into embarrassmentIn Mrs. Tottens eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson, Indiana, we were learning to add and subtract decimals (小数).Our teacher typically assigned daily homework, which would be recited in class
100、 the following day. On most days, our grades were based on our oral answer to homework questions.Mrs. Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order the questions had appeared on our homework sheets. She would start either at the front
101、or the back of the classroom and work toward the other end.Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students, it was easy to figure out which questions I might have to answer. This particular time, I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to exp
102、ect was that several students were absent, which threw off my estimate. As Mrs. Totten made her way from the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get. I tried to work it out before she got to me, but I had brain freeze and couldnt function.When Mrs. Tott
103、en reached my desk，she asked what answer Id got for problem No. 14. “II didnt get anything,” I answered，and my face felt warm. “Correct,” she said.It turned out that the correct answer was zero.What did I learn that day? First, always do all your homework. Second, in real life it isnt always what yo
104、u say but how you say it that matters. Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.If I could choose one school day that taught me the most, it would be that one.【小题1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 indicate?A.It is wise to value ones time.B.It is important to make an effortC.It is r

108、achD.A Valuable Lesson23.【2014浙江卷】D A city childs summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a mem
109、ber missingnot out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course. I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to
110、 retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences woul
111、d fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “Whats in those boo
112、ks youre always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I
113、told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book wasSister Carrie.They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most
114、ancient of mans entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience. The books they themselves read werethe Rover BoysorTom Swiftor G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I
115、had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between childrens and grownupsbooks or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machineto Theodore Dreiser andSister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my you
116、ng mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it. The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evenings tale. Some nights, in o
117、rder to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I
118、 had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I h

If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham an

To gain that love would go towards making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.Music like
128、 Mozarts and Bachs shouldnt be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when youve brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a

No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the bad days, if you could, and did, play a bit.Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.68The author intends to tell us tha

133、rs. Au Pair in Stamford, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to around 4，000 since 2004. And thats true all across the country.“I thought it would be useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age，” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a compa
134、ny, says of his 2yearold son. “I would at least like to give him the chance to use the language in the future.” After only six months of being cared for by a 25yearold woman from China, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising tw
135、o children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking for an au pair from China: she didnt want her children to miss out on their roots.“Because I am Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to(接触) the language and culture，” she says.“Staying with a na

Complete mastery demands continued learning until the age of 10 o

Or the soft background music?But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no.But while
141、 a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is proving to be an increasingly powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the ent
142、rance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air. One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores, customers intention to purchase increased by 80 per cent.When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pari
143、s, scent is just as important to a brands success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sale. That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be.Some years ago, the focus for bread name shopping was on a few people with sales assistants disproving attit
144、ude and donttouchwhatyoucantafford displays. Now the rise of electronic commerce (ecommerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while eshops can use sights and sounds, only bricksandmortar stores(实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the
145、 moment they leave. Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop, but rather a destinationAnd scent is just one way to achieve this.Now, a famous store uses complex manmade smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department, and coconut(椰子) scent in the
146、swimsuit section. A department store has even opened a new lab, inviting customers on a journey into the stores windows to smell books，pots and drawers, in search of their perfect scent.67. According to the passage, what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand stores?A. Friendl
147、y assistants.B. Unique scents.C. Soft background music.D. Attractive window display.68. Eshops are mentioned in the passage to _A. show the advantages of bricksandmortar storesB. urge shop assistants to change their attitudeC. push stores to use sights and soundsD. introduce the rise of ecommerce69.
