authorsB.provide special offersC.expand readers horizonsD.recommend the booksBIndian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase“age is justa number”;she has proved that achievements and knowledge follow passion and notjust age and experience.Vijay,who lives with her parents in Melbourne,Australia,at the age of sevenrealised that her piggy bank did not have enough money to hire a developer to makeher an app,so she decided to teach herself how to code.With the help of YouTubevideos,the young techie learned to code.For one entire year,she watched multiplecoding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.Vijays inspiration for developing the apps was her little sister,who was stilllearning to talk.Therefore,Vijay developed an educational app for children thatwere her sisters age.The app is called Smartkins,which uses about 100 soundsand flashcards of different animals that help children learn and identify.Later,Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors.Eachapp has been downloaded thousands of times.Anvithas skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hostedby Apple in San Francisco,California.There,she got tips from the pros.She wentto workshops where she learned about the latest software for app building.All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one,called GoalsHi,inspires kids to practice good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals,suchas eating their vegetables or practicing piano.Anvitha says the rewards are likegetting a sticker for a job well done.Anvithas goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn whilehaving fun.But even more important to her is that the world sees the power oftechnology in kids hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early age,”she says,“the better chance we have of becoming creativity champions who will one9day change the world.”39.Vijay taught herself to code because _.A.she couldnt afford a developerB.hersisterbeggedherC.she valued her savings very muchD.her parents had confidence inher40.Vijays app GoalsHi intends to help kids _.A.identify colorsB.practice good habitsC.learn different animalsD.get in tech at an early age41.What is the right order of the events?a.Learning the latest software for app building.b.Teaching herself how to code.c.Developing Smartkins app.d.Building iOS app.A.cbadB.bacdC.bcdaD.cdab42.Vijays story indicates that _.A.one head cannot hold all wisdomB.passion fuels the young to achieveC.from small beginnings come great thingsD.all things are difficult before they are easyCBritish anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University ofDurham,after studying the results of one-on-one boxing,tae kwon do,Greco-Romanwrestling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games,conclude that whentwo competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill,the athlete wearing redis more likely to win.Hill and Barton report that when one competitor is much better than the other,colour has no effect on the result.However,when there is only a small differencebetween them,the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance.The anthropologistssay that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results10are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researcher at the University ofCambridge,has found similar results in nature.She studies the large African monkeysknown as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against theirwhite faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful malesthe ones who are moresuccessful with femaleshave a brighter red nose than other males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell,another study shows the effectof red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legsof male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebrafinches.Zebra finches already have bright red beaks(鸟喙),so this study suggeststhat,as with Olympic athletes,an extra flash of red is significant.In fact,researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds brightly colouredbeaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,and his colleaguesthink they have found proof that bright red or orange beaks attract females becausethey mean that the males are healthier.Nothing in nature is simple,however,becausein species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems togive the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about those athletes who win in their events while wearing red?Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage?Robert Barton accepts that“that is the implication”of their findings.Is it time for sports authoritiesto consider new regulations on sports clothing?43.According to their research,Hill and Barton conclude that _.A.the colour of clothing has an effect on most sport eventsB.red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sportsC.red plays a role when competitors are equally capableD.athletes perform better when surrounded by bright red44.The underlined word“tip”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A.achieveB.seekC.keepD.change45.The example of the blue footed booby proves that _.A.male birds use different body parts to draw attention11B.red is not the only colour to attract female birdsC.blue gives female birds the same advantageD.blue can indicate how healthy a bird is46.What is the best title for the passage?A.What Colour Implies More Power?B.A Tip on ClothingC.Need to Change the Rules in Sports?D.Red Is for WinnersDThey hide in trees,hang from helicopters,even follow people down onmotorcyclesallsothattheycansnapashotofacelebrity.Theyarepaparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictures of the rich and famous.This September,California,a state with plenty of celebrities,passed a lawaimed at taking action against paparazzi.The law forbids photographers fromentering private property to take pictures,from using high-tech devices to takepictures of people on private property,and from“persistently following in orderto take a picture.”Violators can be fined or spend time in prison.The United StateCongress is considering passing a similar law.Supporters of the California law say it will protect the privacy of celebrities,whom paparazzi have been bothering for years.Opponents(反对者)say the lawrestricts photojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in publicat award shows or other events.After all,its free publicity.But when theyrenot in public,they say,photographers should leave them alone.Yet paparazzi havebeen known to secretly look in windows and worse.Actor Michael J.Fox said thatpaparazzi have even“tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital wheremy wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else,supporters ofthe law state.Supporters further argue that the California law is a fair way tokeep the press at bay,because the law still allows photographers to do their job.It only punishes them,supporters say,when they violate celebrities privacy.Opponents of the law say it violates the First Amendment to the United States12Constitution(美国宪法第一修正案),which g
