BWhat if you could give your child a special gift? A gift that was never the same. always changing? Now what if this gift was free. readily available and lasted forever?Where do you find such a gift? It's easy: Just open your eyes and look up at the sky with your child. and you'll discover "the theatre over your heads which presents all kinds of shows," or "the art gallery above. " says Jack Borden. former Boston television reporter who founded "For Spacious Skies (FSS)". a non-profit educational organization with the purpose of "stimulating and sustaining public awareness of the appearance of the sky". Borden's big vision is to bring about "new eyes" in young children in terms of how they see the sky. But the most effective teachers and influencers of children -their parents-need to become "sky aware" themselves in order to pass the gift along. And there's the rub. "Could you describe the sky right now, without looking out of your window? Are there clouds? If so. what do they look like? Nine chances out of 10, you don't have a clue about the sky's appearance," says Borden. "We know that people are not looking at the sky. If they perceive the sky at all, it's in the context of the weather or astronomy. ”"Sky awareness means expanding your horizons so that. you begin to see that the sky is the province. not just of the weather reporter. but of the photographer. the artist. the poet, the dreamer. of the physical scientist." says Borden. And it's the province of parents and their children. What parent doesn't want to foster observation ability. imagination. creativity, curiosity and environmental responsibility in their children? "There's a lot to this. There's more to it than I ever dreamed, "says Borden. （ ）24. What is the special gift for children actually about?A. A new view of the sky. B. A new relationship to nature. C. A good relationship with parents. D. More knowledge about the weather. （ ）25. What does Borden think of parents becoming "sky aware"?A. It is almost impossible. B. It is still unpopular with them. C.

Many other people also show interest in the weather. C. Many other people also play a role in weather report. D. The sky also produces various effects for many others. （ ）27. What does the last paragraph focus on?A. Borden's dream. B. Advice to parents. C. Benefits of sky awareness. D. Requirements for cloud watching. CA man sits on the couch, his dog asleep in the next room. He thinks, "I should take Daisy for a walk." and suddenly his dog comes bounding in the room. leash (牵狗皮带) in mouth. A cat curls up next to the phone just before a family member calls, but never when anyone else is about to call. There are so many stories of pets seeming to know more than their natural senses would allow that it has been the subject of study and debate for years. Are their natural senses even greater than we ever imagined? Or do they have a sixth sense?Biologist Rupert Sheldrake believes that animals have an ability of telepathy (心灵感应). Pets whom we feel especially close to seem to understand our needs. read our moods. and even communicate with us on a level that goes beyond words or body language. Physician and author Dr. Larry Dossey says there is a connection between all species, which is not limited by locality. He refers to it as a "nonlocal mind". Consciousness is no restricted to the brain or the body, or time or place. Therefore. people and animals can have an effect on each other, even when miles apart. Traditional scientists remain sceptical about the ability of telepathy among people-let alone pets. They say much of the phenomenon can be explained in other ways, through pets' acute senses of hearing and smell, reading human body language, or noting other cues. Dogs and cats live mostly in a scent (气味) and sound world. It may be that when an owner thinks about taking her dog for a walk, this happy thought causes a change in her body chemistry, which the dog can smell and associate with walks. A simpler explanation is that owners notice their pets' mysterious behaviors only when related events happen by coincidence. The cat may curl up by the phone now and then, but the owner doesn't notice. If the cat happens to sit by the phone when "dad" calls. the owner is more likely to take note. There is no doubt that our pets live on a sensory level that's different from our own. Though we share the same five known senses, dogs and cats take in their world mostly through scent and sound. We take in our world mostly through sight. So it's not surprising that our pets are able to do things that we can't imagine could be possible. （ ）28. The underlined part "nonlocal mind" in Paragraph 5 indicates that pets and their owners can communicate thoughts _. A. wherever they are B. wherever they likeC. only when they stay together D. even when they are separated（ ）29. How does a dog probably know its owner will take it for a walk?A. By coincidence B.

Their sensory system works differently from ours. C. They can understand our mind without words. D. They can communicate without the five senses. （ ）31. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Why Does Your Pet Have a Sixth Sense?B. Your Pet Can Sense What Is in Your MindC. Can You Communicate with Your Pet Mentally?D. Pets Need Mind-to-mind Communication with UsDIndividuals who learn two languages at an early age seem to switch back and forth between separate "sound systems" for each language, according to a new study. The study looked at 32 Spanish-English early bilingual (双语的) speakers, who had earned their second language before age 8. They were presented with words beginning with a 'pa' or a 'ba' sound. While 'pa' and 'ba' sounds exist in both English and Spanish, how those sounds are produced and perceived in the two languages varies slightly. For example, Spanish speakers produce 'pa' in a manner similar to English 'ba'. As a result, English-only speakers might. in some cases, confuse the 'ba' and 'pa' sounds they hear in Spanish, explains Kalim Gonzales, lead author on the study. For the study, the bilingual participants were divided into two groups. One group was told they would be hearing rare words in Spanish, while the other was told they would be hearing rare words in English. Both groups heard audio recordings of variations of the same two words-bafri and pafri-which are not real words in either language. Participants were then asked to identify whether the words they heard began with a 'ba' or a 'pa' sound. The findings: Participants perceived 'ba' and 'pa' sounds differently depending on whether they were told they were hearing Spanish words. or whether they were told they were hearing English words. "What this showed is that when you put them in English mode. they actually would act like English speakers. and then if you put them in Spanish mode. they would switch to acting like Spanish speakers. "Gonzales said. " This shows bilinguals do have two different sounds systems and that they can switch between one language and the other and then use that sound system. ""But if you learn a second language later in life. you usually have a dominant language and then you try to use that sound system for the other language. which is why you end up having an accent." he said. "The general view is that bilinguals will never be able to perceive a second language beyond what a late learner is capable of. So even if you learn two languages from birth. you're always going to perceive one of them like a late learner. " Gonzales said. "Our findings cast doubt on that. "（ ）32. In what way were the English "pafri" and the Spanish "pafri" different?A. In grammar. B. In meanings. C. In spelling. D. In pronunciation. （ ）33. What did the study want to find out by dividing the bilinguals into two groups?A. How well they understood the two languages. B. How they perceived sounds for each language. C. Whether they could identify unreal words in both languages. D. Whether they could tell the difference between bafri and pafri. （ ）34. Which of the following is the cause of "an accent" mentioned in Paragraph 7?A. English mode. B. Spanish mode. C. A second language. D. A dominant language. （ ）35. What can be concluded about carly bilinguals according to the study?A. They perceive both languages like a native speaker. B. They can use two sound systems at the same time. C. They have two sound systems for each language. D. They perceive a second language like a late l
