27、.recommend the books B Indian-origin Anvitha Vijay has given a new meaning to the phrase“age is just a number”;she has proved that achievements and knowledge follow passion and not just age and experience.Vijay,who lives with her parents in Melbourne,Australia,at the age of seven realised that her p

28、iggy bank did not have enough money to hire a developer to make her an app,so she decided to teach herself how to code.With the help of YouTube videos,the young techie learned to code.For one entire year,she watched multiple coding tutorials on the web and became a programmer herself.Vijays inspirat

29、ion for developing the apps was her little sister,who was still learning to talk.Therefore,Vijay developed an educational app for children that were her sisters age.The app is called Smartkins,which uses about 100 sounds and flashcards of different animals that help children learn and identify.Later

30、,Vijay developed a similar iOS app for children to identify and learn colors.Each app has been downloaded thousands of times.Anvithas skills won her a scholarship to attend a big tech conference hosted by Apple in San Francisco,California.There,she got tips from the pros.She went to workshops where

31、she learned about the latest software for app building.All that training led to an idea for a third app.This one,called GoalsHi,inspires kids to practice good habits.Users are rewarded for achieving goals,such as eating their vegetables or practicing piano.Anvitha says the rewards are like getting a

32、 sticker for a job well done.Anvithas goal is to continue creating technology that helps kids learn while having fun.But even more important to her is that the world sees the power of technology in kids hands.“The more training we get in tech at an early age,”she says,“the better chance we have of b

33、ecoming creativity champions who will one day change the world.”39.Vijay taught herself to code because _.A.she couldnt afford a developer B.her sister begged her C.she valued her savings very much D.her parents had confidence in her 40.Vijays app GoalsHi intends to help kids _.A.identify colors B.p

35、d all wisdom B.passion fuels the young to achieve C.from small beginnings come great things D.all things are difficult before they are easy C British anthropologists Russell Hill and Robert Barton of the University of Durham,after studying the results of one-on-one boxing,tae kwon do,Greco-Roman wre

36、stling and freestyle wrestling matches at the Olympic Games,conclude that when two competitors are equally matched in fitness and skill,the athlete wearing red is 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.Howev

37、er,when there is only a small difference between them,the effect of colour is enough to tip the balance.The anthropologists say that the number of times red wins is not simply by chance,but that these results are statistically significant.Joanna Setchell,a primate(灵长目动物)researcher at the University

38、of Cambridge,has found similar results in nature.She studies the large African monkeys known as mandrills.Mandrills have bright red noses that stand out against their white faces.Setchells work shows that the powerful malesthe ones who are more successful with femaleshave a brighter red nose than ot

39、her males.As well as the studies on primates by Setchell,another study shows the effect of red among birds.In an experiment,scientists put red plastic rings on the legs of male zebra finches and this increased the birds success with female zebra finches.Zebra finches already have bright red beaks(鸟喙

40、),so this study suggests that,as with Olympic athletes,an extra flash of red is significant.In fact,researchers from the University of Glasgow say that the birds brightly coloured beaks are an indicator of health.Jonathan Blount,a biologist,and his colleagues think they have found proof that bright

41、red or orange beaks attract females because they mean that the males are healthier.Nothing in nature is simple,however,because in species such as the blue footed booby,a completely different colour seems to give the male birds the same advantage with females.Meanwhile,what about those athletes who w

42、in in their events while wearing red Do their clothes give them an unintentional advantage Robert Barton accepts that“that is the implication”of their findings.Is it time for sports authorities to consider new regulations on sports clothing to their research,Hill and Barton conclude that _.A.the col

43、our of clothing has an effect on most sport events B.red should be the choice of colour for clothing in sports C.red plays a role when competitors are equally capable D.athletes performbetter when surrounded by bright red underlined word“tip”in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _.A.achieve B.seek

44、 C.keep D.change example of the blue footed booby proves that _.A.male birds use different body parts to draw attention B.red is not the only colour to attract female birds C.blue gives female birds the same advantage D.blue can indicate how healthy a bird is is the best title for the passage A.What

45、 Colour Implies More Power B.A Tip on Clothing C.Need to Change the Rules in Sports D.Red Is for Winners D They hide in trees,hang from helicopters,even follow people down on motorcyclesall so that they can snap a shot of a celebrity.They are paparazziphotographers who make a living by taking pictur

46、es of the rich and famous.This September,California,a state with plenty of celebrities,passed a law aimed at taking action against paparazzi.The law forbids photographers from entering private property to take pictures,from using high-tech devices to take pictures of people on private property,and f

47、rom“persistently following in order to take a picture.”Violators can be fined or spend time in prison.The United State Congress 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(

48、反对者)say the law restricts photojournalists from doing their job.Most celebrities seem to like having their pictures taken when they are in public at award shows or other events.After all,its free publicity.But when theyre not in public,they say,photographers should leave them alone.Yet paparazzi hav

49、e been known to secretly look in windows and worse.Actor Michael J.Fox said that paparazzi have even“tried to pretend to be medical personnel at the hospital where my wife was giving birth to our son.”Celebrities have as much right to their privacy as anyone else,supporters of the law state.Supporte

50、rs further argue that the California law is a fair way to keep 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 States Constitu
