racehorse has different abilities Like humans，some are short-distance runners，while others aremarathonersFiguring out which is which and how to pace them can be the difference between failure in thefinish and taking the award homeJockeys（赛马骑师）and trainers have traditionally relied on centuries ofexperience and data from previous races to plan their races Amandine Aftalion，a mathematician in Paris，thought she could add to that Since 2013，she has beenanalyzing the performances of world champion runners like Usain Bolt She has found that short-distance runnerstend to win when they start strong and gradually slow down toward the finish line Butin medium-distance races，runners perform better when they start strong，settle down，and finish with a burst of speedHer model shows how those winning strategies maximize the energy output of muscles reliant on twodifferent pathways：powerful aerobic（有氧的）ones that require oxygen，which can be in limited supply duringa race，and anaerobic ones，which dont need oxygen but build up waste products that lead to tiredness Aftalion wondered which strategy would be best for horses So she and Quentin Mercier，anothermathematician，took advantage of a new GPS tracking tool inserted in French racing saddles（马鞍）The two studied patterns in many races at the Chantilly racetracks north of Paris and developed a model thataccounted for winning strategies for three different races：a short one(1，300 meters)，a medium one(1,900meters)，and a slightly longer one(2,100 meters)，all with different starting points on the same trackThe modeltakes into account not just different race distances，but also the size or friction fromthe track surfaceThe results might surprise jockeys who hold horses back early for bursts of energy in the last finishInstead，a strong start leads to a better finish，the team found“That doesnt mean those jockeys are wrong，thoughIfthe start is too strong，it can bedevastatingas well，leaving the horse tired by the

a contribution to the study CSurfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee,according to an Australian study.The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work areabout 9 percent more productive than those who do not.Study author Brent Coker said,“Surfing the Internet attimes helps increase an employees attention.”“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,”Coker said on the universitys website.“Having ashort break,such as a quick surfing of the Internet,helps the mind to rest itself,leading to a higher total Internetattention for a days work,and as a result,increases productivity(生产效率),”he said.According to the study of 300 workers,70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internetfor their own reasons during office hours.Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for informationabout products,reading online news,playing online games and watching videos.“Firms spend a lot of money onsoftware toblocktheir employees from watching videos,using social networking sites or shopping online,”saidCoker.“Thats not always a good idea.”However,Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation(适度),or were on theInternet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office.“Those who spend too much time surfing theInternet will have a lower productivity than those without.”he said.8.What does the University of Melbourne study mainlyshow?A.People who surf the Internet are good employees.B.Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during

heart and sit very still.You may notice that the sound of your heartbeat is similar tothe beat of a drum.Your heart starts beating before you are born and continues throughout your life.For thisreason,the beating of a drum stands for the rhythm of life for many people around the world.InGhana,a country inAfrica,many schools use drums instead of bells to show the beginning and ending ofclass.Through the drum,thechildren ofGhanaalsolearnabout their history and culture.They hearoldstoriespassed on through the music of the drum.The stories of the drum also teach children games,rules and lessonsabout behavior.For thousands of years inAfrica,drums have been used to tell stories of daily life and history.Drums told thecoming of a king,the start of a war,or the birth of a child.They also allowed people to share messages.But howdoes a drum tell a story?InWest Africa,the most common drum used for communication is called a“talking drum”.By making higherorlower drum sounds,the drummer can make the drum“talk”.In many African languages,words go up and down in pitch(高音)when they are spoken,almost like a song.Depending on the pitch or tone(音调),the same sound can have many different meanings.For example,whenspoken with two low tones,the African word“ilu”means“drum”.When spoken with one high and one low tone,“ilu”means“town”.Drum language works in the same way.Just as in spoken language,the word“ilu”has different meaningsdepending on how its drummed.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using low tones,the word means“drum”.When“ilu”is drummed with two beats using one high and one low tone,it means“town”.Drummers create“words”to build ideas,sentences and stories.The next time you hear a song,listen for theheartbeat within the music.Can you hear the story of the drum?12.The first paragraph mainly tells us_.A.drums beat like our heartsB.drums have a long historyC.drums are widely used in the worldD.drums are important for many people worldwide13.From the
