19、uring childhood protect you against memory loss many decades later?

21、ups, and placed running wheels in the cages of one group for a period of six weeks. Around four months later - when the rats had reached middle age-the team taught all the rats to connect an electric shock with being in a specific box. When placed in the box, they froze with fear.Two weeks later, th

27、oem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions

28、 of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, - 7 -and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special rew

29、ard. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting it. I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analysing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of E

30、nglish is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying

31、that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to communicate this to anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must makemake roomroom in the classroo

32、m for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.(Words:312)28.

35、ASA, the U. S. space agency, believes theres a good chance that were not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS). Its aim is to find evidence of life in one of the billions of galaxies in the universe.The search for intelligent li

36、fe on other planets isnt new. It began almost 100 years ago. Thats when scientists built a huge transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought smart intelligent beings on other planets might pick up the signals.Scientists have also sent a message about humans and our solar system to

37、a nearby constellation (星座). But because the constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message wouldnt reach the earth for 50,000 years! So dont wait up for an answer.So far, no extraterrestrial (境外的) beings that we know of have returned our “calls”. But according to Dr Jill Tarter, an HRMS

38、 scientist, we havent exactly had our ears wide open. “Now, however,” says Dr Tarter, “weve built the tools we need to listen well.”Last October, Dr Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver in the world. Its an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet across a valley in Puerto Rico. Meanwhile,

39、 another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio receiver in Californias Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big dishes and others around the world will pick up radio signals from a new world.Dr Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To lis

40、ten to your radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in loud and clear. Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy “listening” to 14 million channels every second. Thats what NASAs radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.- 9 -But thats not all. Powerful com

41、puters hooked to the receivers examine every signal carefully. The computers try to match the signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as human-made signals. If they cant, Drake and Tarter check on them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the universe,” says Dr Tar

42、ter. “And that would mean were not alone.” （Words:418）32. NASA scientists started a new project so as to_.A. discover life in other galaxies B. confirm the number of galaxiesC. send human beings into space D. find evidence of a new galaxy33.

45、ere are plenty of common fears that, even if we dont have them ourselves, we totally understand: spiders, heights, creepy clowns. And then theres the - 10 -number 13. Its a number just like any other, and yet there are horror movies about it; 3636 and plenty of couples avoid getting married on the 1

46、3th of the month. The technical name for the fear of 13 is triskaidekaphobia（恐数字 13 症）, and while it is rare, about 9 to 10 percent of Americans are, at the very least, uneasy about the number 13.3737 Well, theres no single reason behind the widespread fear. Historians have pinpointed a few potentia

47、l reasons for 13s popularity as an unlucky number.The most popular theory about the origin of this fear is of the Bible: there were 13 diners at the Last Supper. 3838 In Norse mythology, too, a table of 13 proved unlucky, to say the least. According to one of the myths, the primary 12 gods were dini

48、ng together peacefully until the god of mischief (and frequent superhero-movie villain) Loki showed up. As soon as this 13th guest arrived, chaos and carnage ensued. The superstition (迷信) that a table of 13 diners spells bad news even made its way into Harry Potter.On its own, there are no problems with the number itself. Its 13s closeness to the number 12 that makes it look b
