The boys saw the fathers joy at his son being accepted.In the bottom of the final inning, Mark was scheduled to be at bat. Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible.

This discovery has changed what we know of human history.The skull, which scientists have named “Mrs Ples”, is from an ape-like human relative from a species called Australopithecus africanus ( 南方古猿). It was found near Johannesburg in 1947 and, based on evidence from its surroundings, was thought to be between 2. 1 and 2. 6 million years old. This puzzled scientists, because although Mrs Ples looks like a possible early ancestor of early humans, the first true humans had already evolved by the time she apparently lived. For this reason, scientists had decided that Australopithecus afarensis, a similar species from East Africa that lived about 3.5 million years ago, was our most likely ancestor instead.To get a more accurate age for Mrs Ples, a team led by Professor Darryl Granger of Purdue University in Indiana, US, used a new method to date the sandy rocks where the skull lay. They measured the amount of certain chemicals in rocks, which form at a steady rate when they are exposed to cosmic rays (宇宙射线) on Earths surface. Once rocks are buried, these chemicals stop forming and slowly disappear;the surviving amount reveals how much time has passed since the rock (or bones) were on the surface.The new study shows that Mrs Ples and other australopithecine bones nearby are between 3.4 and3.7 million years old. This means they lived at the same time as their East African relatives, so that either group could have given rise to modern humans. However, team member Dr Laurent Bruxelles pointed out that over millions of years, at only 2,500 miles away, these groups had plenty of time to travel and to breed with each other. In other words, the groups could quite easily have met, had children together and both been part of the history of modern humans.28. What can we learn about Mrs Ples from the first two paragraphs?A. It is a skull found in East Africa.B. It is the most possible ancestor of humans.C. It is a million years older than scientists expected.D. It is proved to live between 2.1 and 2.6 million years ago.29. How did scientists get the accurate age of “Mrs Ples”?A. By studying the effect of cosmic rays.B. By calculating the forming rate of chemicals.C. By locating the sandy rocks where the skull lay.D. By measuring the surviving amount of chemicals.30. What can we infer from the new study?A. Modern humans came into being in East Africa.B. Mrs Ples travelled and had children with East African relatives.C. The history of modern humans might begin 3.5 million years ago.D. Ape-like species from Africa could have interacted with each other.31. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. Historical Puzzle UnsolvedB. Ancestor Mystery SolvedC. Mrs Ples: The Earliest Human BeingD. Mrs Ples: A Famous SkullDIs it true that our brain alone is responsible for human cognition (认知)? What about our body? Is it possible for thought and behaviour to originate from somewhere other than our brain? Psychologists who study Embodied Cognition (EC) ask similar questions. The EC theory suggests our body is also responsible for thinking or problem-solving. More precisely, the mind shapes the body and the body shapes the mind in equal measure.If you think about it for a moment, it makes total sense. When you smell something good or hear amusing sounds, certain emotions are awakened. Think about how newborns use their senses to understand the world around them. They dont have emotions so much as needs they dont feel sad, theyre just hungry and need food. Even unborn babies can feel their mothers heartbeats and this has a calming effect. In the real world, they cry when theyre cold and then get hugged. That way, they start to associate being warm with being loved.Understandably, theorists have been arguing for years and still disagree on whether the brain is the nerve centre that operates the rest of the body. Older Western philosophers and mainstream language researchers believe this is fact, while EC theorises that the brain and body are working together as an organic supercomputer, processing everything and forming your reactions.Further studies have backed up the mind-body interaction. In one experiment, test subjects were asked to judge people after being handed a hot or a cold drink. They all made warm evaluations when their fingertips perceived warmth rather than coolness. And it works the other way too. In another study, subjects fingertip temperatures were measured after being “included” in or “rejected” from a group task. Those who were included felt physically warmer.For further proof, we can look at the metaphors (比喻) that we use without even thinking. A kind and sympathetic person is frequently referred to as one with a soft heart and someone who is very strong and calm in difficult situations is often described as solid as a rock. And this kind of metaphorical use is common across languages.Now that you have the knowledge of mind-body interaction, why not use it? If youre having a bad day, a warm cup of tea will give you a flash of pleasure. If you know youre physically cold, warm up before making any interpersonal decisions.32.

To share with the reader ways to release their emotions.第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2.5 分；满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Extraordinary people are just that rare.
