Not sure? Try living with your eyes closed for a few years. Blind people are better at locating sounds than people who can see, a new study says, without the benefits of vision the ears seem to work much better. Previous studies have shown that blind people are better than others at reaching out and touching the sources of sounds that are close by. Researchers from the University of Montreal wanted to see if blind people were also better at locating sounds that are far away. Twenty-three blind people participated in the study. All had been sightless for at least 20 years. Fourteen of them had lost their vision before age 11. the rest went blind after age 16. The experiment also included 10 people who could see but were wearing blind-folds. In one task, volunteers had to pick the direction of a sound coming from about 3 metres away. When the sound was in front of them or slightly off center in front, both groups performed equally well. When sounds came from the side or the back, however, the blind group performed much better than the blindfolded group. The participants who had been blind since childhood did slightly better than those who lost their sight later. Recognizing the locations of distant sounds can be a matter of life-or-death for blind people, say the researchers. Crossing the street, for instance, is much harder when you cant see the cars coming. Still, the researchers were surprised by how well the blind participants did, especially those who went blind after age 16. In another experiment, the scientists also found that parts of the brain that normally deal with visual information became active in locating sound in the people who were blind by age 11. These brain parts didnt show sound-location activity in the other group of blind people or in the sighted people. The scientists now want to learn more about the working of brains of “late-onset” blind people.60. The recent study shows blind people are better at telling _. A. The sources of loud sounds. B. the locations of distant sounds C. the direction of sharp sounds D. the distance of a sound in front of them61. Which would be a proper title for the passage? A. A Research on Blind People B. Where is That Noise Coming from? C. Hearing Better in the Dark D. What If Living Without Your Eyes?62. If people were asked to tell the direction of a sound from the side, who would perform best? A. Those who are blind. B. Those who have gone blind since children. C. Those who went blind at age 16. D. Those who are blindfolded.63. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Whether to be able to locate the sounds can be of vital importance for the blind. B. All the volunteers in the experiment are sightless. C. All the participants did equally well when picking sounds from whatever direction. D. The later people become blind, the better they can perform in telling the direction of sounds. CMost people, when they travel to space, would like to stay in orbit for a few days of more. And this stands to reason, if youre paying $20,000 for your trip to orbit! Strain order for tourism to reach its full potential theres going to be a need for orbital accommodation-or space hotels. What would a space hotel actually be like to visit? Hotels in orbit will offer the services you expect from a hotel-private rooms, meals, bars. But theyll also offer two unique experiences: impressive views-of Earth and space-and the endless entertainment of living in zero gravity-including sports and other activities that make use of this. The hotels themselves will vary greatly-from being quite simple in the early days to huge luxury structure at a later date. Its actually surprising that as later as 1997, very few designs for space hotels were published. This is mainly because those who might be expected to design them havent expected launch costs to come down far enough to make them possible. Lots of people whove been to space have described vividly what its like to live in zero gravity. There are obviously all sort of possibilities for dancing, gymnastics, and zer
