28、at 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 ins

29、piration 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.Lat

36、ng 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,whe

37、n 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 ofCambr

38、idge,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.A

39、s 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 stud

40、y 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 bea

41、ks 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 w

43、lothing 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.kee

46、ich 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“persistent

47、ly 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 lawr

48、estricts 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 secr

49、etly 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 t

50、he 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
