11、ll of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg.When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jerseys Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated （截）below the knee.Such a setback could have

12、easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero, who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, nThe One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3，explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on th

13、e use of a peg leg（假肢）,he explains.The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a stubborn patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor.“It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said J You know what? I need to pick up rig

14、ht where I left off and continue my career, Ruggiero said.Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. nTap dancers-theyfre always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, n he said.Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before

15、 coming to his show, Ruggiero says he wont shy away from the physical HweaknessH his performance shows because of his condition.“A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say J Youre such a role model and an inspirationJ he said.

PityText 2If maths is the language of the universe, bees may have just uttered their first words. New research suggests these busybodies of the insect world are capable of ad

19、dition and subtraction （减法）一using colors in the place of plus and minus symbols.In the animal kingdom, the ability to count-or at least distinguish between differing quantities-isnt unusual: It has been seen in frogs, spiders, and even fish. But solving equations （方程式）using symbols is rare, so far o

20、nly achieved by famously brainy animals such as chimpanzees and African grey parrots.Building on previous research that says the social insects can count to four and understand the concept of zero, researchers wanted to test the limits of what their tiny brains can do.Scientists trained 14 bees to l

21、ink the colors blue and yellow to addition and subtraction, respectively. They placed the bees at the entrance of a Y-shaped maze （迷宫）,where they were shown several shapes in either yellow or blue. If the shapes were blue, bees got a reward if they went to the end of the maze with one more blue shap

22、e （the other end had one less blue shape）; if the shapes were yellow, they got a reward if they went to the end of the maze with one less yellow shape.The testing worked the same way: Bees that subtracted” one shape when they saw yellow, or “added“ one shape when they saw blue were considered to hav

23、e aced the test. The bees got the right answer 63% to 72% of the time, depending on the type of equation and the direction of the right answer-much better than random guesses would allowthe researchers reporttoday in Science Advances.Though the results came from just 14 bees, researchers say the adv

24、ance is exciting. If a brain about 20,000 times smaller than ours can perform maths using symbols, it could pave the way to novel approaches in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. Just dont ask the bees to do your homework anytime soon.1、Why do the scientists conduct the research?A. T

25、o teach them maths.B. To test the power of tiny brains.C. To explain the meaning of colors.D. To get access to machine learning.2、What does the underlined word “aced” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?A.

29、rn lake. After lunch near the Black Sail Hut, climb a 2,000 foot mountain and take in the beautiful views of lakes and pastures (牧场).We finish in Borrowdale, a short transfer (转乘)from our hotel.

34、iend recently, I asked him how work was. “Oh, not that busy, Im just coasting,“ he said. Hes not alone. According to a recent poll, one third of the 3,000 people surveyed said they were coasting“ at work. This may come as a surprise in an age when so many people spend so much time complaining about

35、how busy they are. But most of this talk about busyness is nonsense. According to a study by researchers at Oxford University, we do not, in fact, spend more time working than we have in the past. On some measures, the amount we work has gone down. Instead, many people just have jobs filled with tas

36、ks that dont really need to be done.The way we look at coasting has radically changed. In the past, being relaxed and not burdened with too much work within your organisation was a sign of status. Now, being extremely busy shows you are important. If you are not extremely overburdened, then you are

37、seen as a slacker, a lazy person.This does not make sense. Most people are not as busy as they say they are. In fact, most pressing tasks at work are often unrelated to productivity. Many busy people are actually overburdened with telling others how busy they are. Being overly-focused on your job ma

38、y make you feel important, but its likely to annoy friends, co-workers and your family. Whats more, being super-busy all the time is not good for you. A Cornell University study found that people who are overburdened with work tend to have a worse sense of wellbeing than those who are more relaxed.

39、The researchers also found that being super-busy is bad for your career. Those who reported working very intensely were associated with poorer career outcomes.So, perhaps coasters are not a drag on productivity. Maybe they have worked out that the secret to a productive and healthy life is not being

40、 too busy, and certainly not talking continuously about how busy you are. We should remember Bertrand Russeirs adage: One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that ones work is terribly important.”1、What can we infer from the findings of the Oxford University study?A. Pe

41、ople have a false impression about how busy they are at work.B. Less busy employees have a greater likelihood of promotion.C. One third of employees dont consider themselves to be busy.D. People overburdened at work are likely to feel more energised.2、In the 19lh century which of these people would

42、probably have been the LEAST busy in their job?A. A bank clerk.B. A bank owner.C , An office cleaner.D. An office secretary.3、Why might coasters“ actually be successful in their work?A. They do not feel threatened by a challenging task.B. They work more co-operatively with their colleagues.C. They a

43、re able to focus on the most important and necessary tasks.D. They are often more intelligent and able to complete their work faster.4、Which of the following best summarizes the authors attitude?A. He expresses no personal opinion about the topic.B. He thinks that lazy people are in fact the best wo

44、rkers.C. He is sympathetic towards difficulties of super-busy workers.D. He believes that busyness at work does not equal effectiveness.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
