Alan Beck, an exp
24、ert in human-animal relationship, and Nancy Edwards, a professor of nursing, are leading the animal-assisted study concerning the influence of robotic dogs on old peoples depression, physical activity, and life satisfaction. “No one will argue that an older person is better off being more active, ch
25、allenged, or stimulated (刺激),” Edwards points out. “The problem is how we promote (使成为现实) that, especially for those without friends or help. A robotic dog could be a solution.” In the study, the robot, called AIBO, is placed for six weeks in the houses of some old people who live alone. Before plac
26、ing AIBO in the home, researchers will collect baseline data for six weeks. These old people will keep a diary to note their feelings and activity before and after AIBO. Then, the researchers will review the data to determine if it has inspired any changes in the life of its owner. “I talk to him al
27、l the time, and he responds to my voice,” says a seventy-year-old lady. “When Im watching TV, hell stay in my arms until he wants down. He has a mind of his own.”The AIBOs respond to certain orders. The researchers say they have some advantages over live dogs, especially for old people. Often the el
28、derly are disabled and cannot care for an animal by walking it or playing with it. A robotic dog removes exercise and feeding concerns. “At the beginning, it was believed that no one would relate to the robotic dog, because it was metal and not furry, ” Beck says. “But its amazing how quickly we hav
29、e given up that belief.” “Hopefully, down the road, these robotic pets could become a more-valuable health helper. They will record their masters blood pressure, oxygen levels, or heart rhythms. AIBOs may even one day have games that can help stimulate older peoples minds. ” 56. The purpose of Beck
30、and Edwards study is to _. A. understand human-animal relationship B. make lonely old peoples life better C. find the causes of old peoples loneliness D. promote the animal-assisted research 57. In the research, the old people are asked to _. A. note the activities of AIBOs B. keep AIBOs at home for
31、 12 weeks C. record their feelings and activity. D. analyze the collected information58. What is the advantage of AIBO over live dogs? A. It is easier to keep at home. B. It can help the disabled people.C. It responds to all the human orders. D. It can watch TV with its owner. 59. The author seems t
32、o suggest that the future robotic dogs may _. A. cure certain diseases B. keep old people active C. change peoples beliefs D. look more like real dogs BHow Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingsArchitects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and b
33、ehaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Lev
34、y at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a rooms ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detail
35、ed outlook.In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupants ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the m
36、ost gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in
37、 classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim (暗淡的) light helps people to
38、loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a v
39、ery limited number of studies, so were almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? Thats what were all struggling with.” 60. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her
40、research? A. Light. B. Ceilings. C. Windows. D. Furniture.61. The passage tells us that _. A. the shape of furniture may affect peoples feelings B. lower ceilings may help improve students creativity C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades D students in rooms with unblocked views may
41、 feel relaxed62. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _. A. the problem is not approached step by step B. the researches so far have faults in themselves C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect D research in this area is not enough to make generalized p
42、atternsCGUATEMALA CITY（Reuters）-A fish that lives in mangrove swamps（红树沼泽）across the Americas can live out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows. The Magrove Rivulus, a type of small killifish, lives in small pools of water in
43、a certain type of empty nut or even old beer cans in the mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil. When their living place dries up, they live on the land in logs(圆木), said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard Endangered Lands Program in Florida. The fish, whose scientific name i
44、s Rivulus marmoratus, can grow as large as three inches. They group together in logs and breathe air through their skin until they can find water again. The new scientific discovery came after a trip to Belize. “We kicked over a log and the fish just came crowding out,” Taylor told Reuters in neighb
45、oring Guatgemala by telephone. He said he will make his study on the fish known to the public in an American magazine early next year. In lab tests, Taylor said he found the fish can live up to 66 days out of water without eating. Some other fish can live out of water for a short period of time. The
46、 walking catfish found in Southeast Asia can stay on land for hours at a time, while lungfish found in Australia, Africa and South America can live out of water, but only in an inactive state. But no other known fish can be out of water as long as the Mangrove Rivulus and remain active, according to
47、 Patricia Wright, a biologist at Canadas University of Guelph. Further studies of the fish may tell how animals changed over time. “These animals live in conditions similar to those that existed millions of years ago, when animals began making the transition (过渡) from water onto land,” Wright said.

So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words. Late

His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they want
