30、 city. However, besides hours of homework, many Ridgewood children have too many after-school activities from swimming to piano classes. Some kids compare their life to that of a New York general manager who has an 80-hour workweek. Childrens schedules filled with homework and activities made a lot

31、of townspeople worried, so the town decided to start a movement called “Ridgewood Family Night Ready, Set, Relax!” The mayor (市长) made a public statement, calling for a town-wide night for families to do nothing. And schools and clubs agreed to support the movement so families could relax and get to

32、gether. Some parents like to talk about their childhood, one without so many scheduled after-school activities. As kids, they just went out to play with neighborhood friends after school. However, almost all these parents take their children to their regularly scheduled activities. These fathers and

33、 mothers feel it is their duty to make sure their children are prepared to survive in todays high-pressure work environment. They are afraid that their children cant enter the “right” universities and wont succeed in a more and more competitive world. However, it seems that Family Night worked, at l

34、east to a certain degree. Cars moved freely around Ridgewoods normally busy downtown streets. Some families ate supper together for the first time in months. One family watched home movies of when the children were little, baked cookies and played games together. At first, some people were excited t

35、hat they could take back their lives. But sadly, few families now believe that one night will change them. Nearly all of the townspeople are sure that they will fall back into the old habit. 53.

36、oy family time. C. They have more time to discuss family matters. D. They have enough time to talk about schoolwork. 54. What can we learn about the movement? A. It is held once a week. B.

It may help break kids bad habits.CThe comic-book superhero Daredevil (超胆侠) became blind by accident, but his blindness only made his other senses s

38、uperhuman.Its commonly believed that deaf or blind people may have other Daredevil-like senses. But the reality is that people with one impaired (受损的) sense dont have general improvements in their other senses, but rather very specific brain changes, new research shows.Scientists are now uncovering

39、some of the brain differences that underlie changes or improvements in other senses. “For example, research shows that people who are deaf from birth tend to be more sensitive to light or movement in their peripheral vision (周边视觉), compared with people who can hear,” said Christina Karns, a neurosci

40、entist at the University of Oregon. Karns and her colleagues wanted to know whether the areas of the brain responsible (负责的) for hearing were also organized differently in deaf people, compared with people who could hear. In experiments with people who can hear, when the participants see a light fla

41、shed in their peripheral vision and hear two beeps at the same time, they experience the illusion (错觉) that they saw two flashes of light. Karns team did the same experiment with deaf individuals, except that the beeps were replaced with puffs of air on the participants faces.Deaf people reported se

42、eing two flashes of light when they felt two puffs of air, suggesting they use touch the same way hearing people use sound to improve visual accuracy (精确性). “Hearing people are doing this all the time,” said Karns, who presented her findings. “Deaf people dont have sound, so they end up building a v

43、isual system thats more accurate.”But the improvements in deaf peoples other senses are very specific. Studies show that vision in the fovea, the central part of the eye, is no better in deaf people than in hearing people. Also, the improvements arent seen in people who become deaf later in life.One

44、 of the big questions driving research on this topic is whether being deaf or blind frees up brain areas for other senses. Stephen Lomber, a neuroscientist at the University of Western Ontario, and colleagues found that cooling down the hearing cortex (皮层) of deaf cats caused the animals to lose the

45、ir improved peripheral vision, suggesting those brain areas had, indeed, been related to vision.Taken together, the research into the differences between deaf peoples brains and hearing peoples brains shows theres a lot of hope for ways we can train our brains. But humans havent developed super sens

46、es just yet. 56. Most people think people with one impaired sense _.A. experience great changes in their brainsB. tend to become a superman like DaredevilC. generally have a super ability in other sensesD. should improve their other senses through training57. According to Karnss experiment, deaf peo

47、ple _.A. have a much better fovea than hearing peopleB. have totally different brains from hearing peopleC. have obvious illusions about light flashed in front of themD. take advantage of their touch to improve visual accuracy 58. In Paragraph 8, the experiment with deaf cats is used to show _.A. th

48、e hearing cortex helps train our brainsB. deaf cats like using their improved peripheral visionC. the ability of Daredevil can become a reality in our lifeD. brain areas for other senses have a relationship with vision59. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Whether deaf people have superhuman

49、 vision.B. How deaf people use their other senses in life.C. Experiments on the superhuman vision of the deaf. D. Differences between deaf people and hearing people.DMy three-year-old son, Dayton, lay on the couch, held the family iPad and clicked on the Angry Birds app. It was a beautiful, sunny We

50、dnesday morning and all he wanted to do was play a video game. I felt guilty. Why hadnt I planned some activity for us to do together? Id been wanting for months to spend more time with Dayton, take him to a story hour at the library or to the Native American Museum. But whenever I thought of it I w

51、as busy doing something else. It was so much easier with Sydney. She was always coming to me with a book she wanted me to read to her. She loved playing dress up, having tea parties and social activities I liked too. Id left my teaching job when she was born to devote my full time to being a mother.

52、 But I worried I was shortchanging (忽视) Dayton. What if I made today all about him?“Lets do something fun together, just you and me, Dayton. What would you like to do?” I asked. He didnt hesitate, “Crystal Bridges.” “Sounds good,” I said, trying to hide my surprise. Crystal Bridges, an art museum in

53、 nearby Bentonville, is home to world famous paintings and sculptures (雕塑) by American artists. Wed been there as a family a few times, but an art museum was not exactly the first thing I think of when I was looking for someplace fun to take a three-year-old boy to. Was this really what he wanted? S

54、till, this was Daytons day. I told myself to just go with the flow, but even as we were in the car I couldnt help but wonder what I was getting myself into.We finally got to the museum. Dayton glanced toward the entrance. Suddenly he ran to a sculpture of the word LOVE. With his hand, Dayton followe

55、d the curves (弧形) of the letters. He moved slowly through the space between the V and the E, then climbed to the top of theLand sat there, a big smile across his face, as if hed just gotten to the top of a jungle gym (儿童游戏用的攀登架). Then he was off again, tearing across bridges and up some stone steps.

56、 He found a yellow butterfly and dashed after it, the two of them doing a kind of dance together. “I see you found something yellow,” I said. “Thats your favourite colour, isnt it?” Dayton nodded excitedly, as if this was the most amazing thing there was to know about him. I probably never would hav

57、e noticed it.I was still considering this when Dayton had ran to a distant spring. “Is the water cold?” he asked.“Yes,” I said. “It comes from under the ground.”“Must be the coldest water in the world!” he said. Usually, I felt compelled (强迫) to tell him that a rock or a tree wasnt the biggest in th

58、e world. But that day I let it go.He ran almost the whole way and led me inside the museum to a big room designed for children. Dayton got a box of tangrams (七巧板) and in minutes there before him appeared a . What was it?“Its a car,” he said. To me they were just pieces of plastic, but Daytons mind w
