10、g me again," Mohanan laughingly said, adding that changing his clothes and trying to disguise (伪装) himself didn't work either.The crows' animosity toward Mohanan had become well known among the local people, and while most find it funny, the tractor driver says the birds can be pretty u

15、sson from Shiva Kewat's experience.（3）How would you feel about celebrity(名人) deaths? Despite this person being a perfect stranger, it can feel kind of like youve lost an acquaintance or even a friend, when a beloved celebrity dies. Its not quite the same, of course. You have no memories of times

16、 you hung out, or no cards they sent you. Instead, it's a different kind of grief( 悲痛), one marked by big screens crowded stadiums, and a unique feeling of love and admiration you've probably never felt for someone you actually know.If youve ever cried or felt sad for days about a celebrity&

17、#39;s death, youre certainly not alone. According to expert Rachel O'Neill, feeling grief after a celebrity's death is common because we form personal attachments to celebrities. "Celebrities' presence is felt in our lives," she says. "Maybe they represented an ideal, some

18、thing you hoped that you could be. Or perhaps the celebrity held a particular important memory in your life-for example, they starred in a TV show that you watched growing up. In those cases, the death can feel like a loss of that particular part of your past."It can also be more than a connect

19、ion to your past, but a joyful part of your everyday life, according to therapist Cynthia Catchings. "Celebrities may provide us with laughs, comfort entertainment, excitement, or sense of escape. When a celebrity we feel connected to passes away, it can feel like losing someone close to us bec

20、ause they may have been integral in some of our happiest or saddest moments, "Catchings says, "They made us laugh, they made us cry, but most importantly, they helped us forget about our difficult moments when we needed it most."Still, it can feel strange to grieve someone you didn

21、9;t actually know. But both O'Neill and Catchings agree that it's a totally normal way to feel for any number of reasons-the most understandable of which is that death is just sad.It doesn't matter that you didn't know the celebrity in person. If you're experiencing grief, O'

22、Neill says, it's important to give yourself space to feel it. "Remembering the celebrity in whatever way you feel will be helpful," she says, "Some people find comfort in sharing their memories on social media and connecting with other users who are also experiencing grief and los

23、s.”The more we feel, the more we grow, however painful. That's why medical officer Neeraj Gandotra says you should use your grief over a celebrity to prepare you for grief you might feel down the road. "Use the feelings of loss as an opportunity to have a more academic discussion about what

24、 happens when someone dies." he said. " This discussion can help prepare one for when someone close to them dies. The topic is healthy and a great opportunity to find areas where you could improve, and even change the direction of your life for the better."28 What does O'Neill thi

27、important roles celebrities play in life.B. The effect of a celebrity's death on people.C. How people should deal with their sadness.D. Why people grieve the deaths of celebrities.（4）Why don't we have eyes in the back of our heads? There are at least two reasons. Eyes are biologically expens

28、ive things to make and rear view (后视) eyes don't fit well into the human evolution (进化).Even animals, such as rabbits, whose main survival advantage is rear vision, have only the side eyes. Rear vision is not so important. There are other species that have evolved this ability by moving the posi

29、tion of their eyes relative to the rest of their head. Many birds have their eyes positioned towards the side of their head, allowing them a very wide angle of vision and, in the case of some birds such as the woodcock, they are positioned so they can actually achieve 360- degree vision. It is also

30、obvious that spiders, which tend to have many eyes, only have them facing forwards.Humans, and probably some other animals, do have another adapted sense to make it up. Many experiments showed that sounds behind the head were noticed by a listener more than sounds to the front, especially if a liste

31、ner was in a dark room. So,our ears can make up for the lack of rear-facing vision. You can look at it another way. Rear vision is useful only if the potential threat is visible. During human evolution, that was most often not the case.Finally, there is often more than one potential “solution"

32、to a given problem. In many species, the answer to maintaining 360 degree awareness of surrounding danger is to rely on many eyes. Social behavior is common in the animal kingdom and one reason for this is that there is safety in numbers. You might be looking the wrong way when a tiger approaches, b

33、ut if your teammates raise the alarm this is as effective as having eyes in the back of your head.32. Why do humans have no rear view eyes?A. They are bad for human survival.B. They are replaced by other organs.C. They are less likely to spot the danger.D. They are abandoned by natural selection.33.

34、 What is the purpose of paragraph 2?A. To explain why animals have other functionalB. To state rear-view eyes aren't a must for survival,C. To prove rabbits, birds and spiders are very special.D. To show rear view eyes are against the natural selection,34. What does the underlined word“that"

35、; in paragraph 3 refer to?A. The visible threat behind the head.B. Sensitive hearing.C. The Sou sound behind the head.D. Rear vision.35. Where does the text most likely com from?A.

Most travelers often need to rush from one tourist attraction to another.36 Slow travel means renting an apartment for a week or more and exploring your surroundings on foot or by car. It can also mean taking a bike tour from one vil

37、lage to the next so that you can see the scenery along the way. But no matter how you do it, the key is slowing down. 37 Slow travel allows you to form a stronger connection to the place you're visiting. 38 It not only allows you to escape from your own stressful everyday life but also to fall n
