25、o _.A.share personal travelling experiences B.offer practical tips on taking adventure C.present cultures in different countries D.recommend favorable travel destinations BOn March 25,2010,Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads:Their newborn wasn t going to make it.Their twins a girl and

26、 a boywere born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature,weighing just over two pounds each.Doctors had tried to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no improvement.His heartbeat was nearly gone,and hed stopped breathing.The baby had just moments to live.“I saw him gasp(喘息),but the doctor said it was

27、 no use,”Kate told the Daily Mailfive years later.“I know it sounds stupid,but if he was still gasping,that was a sign of life.I wasn t going to give up easily.”Still,the couple knew this was likely a goodbye.In an effort to cherish her last minutes with the tiny boy,Kate asked to hold him.“I wanted

28、 to meet him,and for him to know us,”Kate told Today.“We d resigned ourselves to the fact that we were going to lose him,and we were just trying to make the most of those last,precious moments.”Kate unwrapped the boy,whom the couple had already named Jamie,from his hospital blanket and asked David t

29、o take his shirt off and join them in bed.The first-time parents wanted their son to be as warm as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would improve his condition.They also talked to him.“We were trying to persuade him to stay,”Kate told the Daily Mail.“We explained his name and that he had

30、a twin that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to have him.”Then something miraculous happened.Jamie gasped againand then he started breathing.Finally,he reached for his fathers finger.The couple s lost boy had made it.“We re the luckiest people in the world,”David told Today.Eight yea

31、rs later,Jamie and his sister,Emily,are happy and healthy.The couple only recently told the kids the story of their birth.“Emily burst into tears,”Kate said.“She was really upset,and she kept hugging Jamie.This whole experience makes you cherish them more.”35.What can we learn about the newborn babi

32、es?A.The boy s heart had stopped beating.B.The boy was 2 minutes older than the girl.C.The twins were born 14 weeks before the due date.D.The twins were expected to live for only 20 minutes.36.When the couple knew they would lose the boy,they _.A.begged the doctor to save him B.took his shirt off an

33、d then put him in bed C.wrapped him with his blanket to keep him warm D.talked to him and made close physical contact with him 37.What s the best title for the passage?A.The Power of Hug.B.The Miracle of Love.C.The Bond Between Twins.D.The Responsibility of Parents.C It s common knowledge that the w

34、oman inLeonardo da Vinci s most famous painting seems to look back at observers,following them with her eyes no matter where they stand in the room.But this common knowledge turns out wrong.A new study finds that the woman in the painting is actually looking out at an angle thats 15.4 degrees off to

35、 the observers rightwell outside of the range that people normally believe when they think someone is looking right at them.In other words,said the study author,Horstmann,“She s not looking at you.”This is somewhat ironic,because the entire phenomenon of a person s gaze(凝视)in a photograph or paintin

36、g seeming to follow the viewer is called the“Mona Lisa effect”.Th at effect is absolutely real,Horstmann said.If a person is illustrated or photographed looking straight ahead,even people viewing the portrait from an angle will feel they are being looked at.As long as the angle of the persons gaze i

37、s no more than about 5 degrees off to either side,the Mona Lisa effectoccurs.This is important for human interaction with on-screen characters.If you want someone off to the right side of a room to feel that a person on-screen is looking at him or her,you dont cut th e gaze of the character to that

38、sidesurprisingly,doing so would make an observer feel like the character isnt looking at anyone in the room at all.Instead,you keep the gaze straight ahead.Horstmann and his co-author were studying this effect for its application in the creation of artificial-intelligence avatars(虚拟 头像)when Horstman

39、n took a long look at the“Mona Lisa”and realized shewasn t looking at him.To make sure it wasnt just him,the researchers asked 24 people to view images of the“Mona Lisa”on a computer screen.They set a ruler between the viewer and the screen and asked the participants to note which number on the rule

40、r intersected Mona Lisas gaze.To calculate the angle of Mona Lisa s gaze as she looked at the viewer,they moved the ruler farther from or closer to the screen during the study.Consistently,the researchers found,participants judged that the woman in the“Mona Lisa”portrait was not looking straight at

41、them,but slightly off to their right.So why do people repeat the belief that her eyes seem to follow the viewer?Horstmann isn t sure.It s possible,he said,that people have the desire to be looked at,so they think the woman is looking straight at them.Or maybe the people who first coined the term“Mon

42、a Lisa effect”just thought it was a cool name.38.It is generally believed that the woman in the painting“Mona Lisa”_.A.attracts the viewers to look back B.seems mysterious because of her eyes C.fixes her eyes on the back of the viewers D.looks at the viewers wherever they stand 39.What gaze range in

43、 a painting will cause the Mona Lisa effect?A.B.C.D.40.The experiment involving 24 people was conducted to_.A.confirm Horstmanns belief B.create artificial-intelligence avatars C.calculate the angle of Mona Lisas gaze D.explain how the Mona Lisa effect can be applied 41.What can we learn from the pa

44、ssage?A.Horstmann thinks its cool to coin the term“Mona Lisa effect”.B.The Mona Lisa effect contributes to the creation of artificial intelligence.C.Feeling being gazed at by Mona Lisa may be caused by the desire for attention.D.The position of the ruler in the experiment will influence the viewers

45、judgement.D What a Messy Desk Says About You For some time,psychologists have been studying how personality traits affect health and health-related choices.Not surprisingly,they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness,meaning that they are organized and predictable,typically eat

46、 better and live longer than people 5515.4 15.4 15.4 15.4 55who are disorderly.They also tend to haveimmaculate offices.What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who arent necessarily innately conscientious.To find out,researchers at the University o

47、f Minnesota conducted a series of experiments.In the first experiment,they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time intwo office spaces,one of which was very neat,the other wildly cluttered(乱堆)with papers and other work-related stuff.The students spent their time filling out q

48、uestionnaires unrelated to the study.After 10 minutes,they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar.Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment,however,found that working in chaos has its

49、 advantages,too.In this one,college students were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls.Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative,according to two independent judges,than those in offices where stacks of papers and oth

50、er objects were neatly arranged.The results were something of a surprise,says Dr.Vohs,the leader of the study.Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder.The broken window theory,proposed decades ago,holdsthat even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But
