20、Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give. The boy brought the bat back hard an

21、d hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped. When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadnt planned to be there that day, but at the last minute, her shift (换班) at the hospital had been changed to see her sons performance. She w

22、as given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compression. And he revived in the end.

29、e science lessons, I used to get a doubt-why ears, nose, tongue and eyes should be called as special senses? The basic reason is that these are the channels through which we maintain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs, they do show s

30、ome connectivity. Interestingly, our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isnt it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal? That does not mean we go deaf after a meal, but the hearing pitch does change after a heavy meal.We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue, but do you

31、 know that unless saliva dissolves something, our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten？Taste is nothing but the food chemicals dissolved in the saliva being sensed by the taste buds present on the tongue. Try to dry off your tongue and mouth with a tissue paper and then taste somethin

32、g.Women are much better smellers than men. They are born with this characteristic ability and can correctly pinpoint the exact fragrance of the sample. We all can store almost 50, 000 different scents, which are strongly tied to the memories.Pupils do not respond to light alone, but to the slightest

33、 bit of noise around too. Thus surgeons, watchmakers and those professionals who have to perform a much delicate job do prefer to have a sound-free environment. Even a small noise can dilate their pupils, change the focus and blur their vision. If you do not wear glasses or contact lens due to havin

34、g a 6/6 vision, you are just among the one third of the human population. It is now statistically proved that only one third of the population has perfect vision, the rest all are either wearing glasses or are trying to read with a compromised vision.Each and every one of us has a particular or indi

35、vidualistic or characteristic smell, which is unique to us, except for the identical twins. This smell is very subtle yet can be sensed even by a newborn. It may be due to this scent that the newborn recognizes the presence of his parents around. Many of us can pinpoint the smell of our significant

36、friends and colleagues. A significant part of this phenomenon is guided by genetics but it is also changed by the environment, diet and personal hygiene. This all together creates the unique chemistry that is individualistic for each person.8. What does the example of “heavy meal and hearing” in the

37、 first paragraph prove?A. Every sensory organs has its specific function.B. We easily fall asleep after eating a heavy meal.C. We feel the world through our eyes, ears, nose and tongue.D. All the individual sensory organs are actually connected.9. What does the underlined sentence in the second para

39、person prefers a quiet environment?A. A craftsman who is working on a diamond.B. An actor who is doing rehearsal.C A pilot who is flying a plane.D. An engineer who is checking machines.11. According to the passage, how does a newborn sense his parents are with him?A. The identical genes guide him.B.

40、 He can recognize their unique smell.C. He can hear their individual voices.D. The sensor in his brain picks them out.DWith greater climate catastrophe (气候突变) on Earth, it is natural for us to make every effort to stop the potential floods, snowstorms, and alarming reports from scientists. For many

41、of us (myself included), part of that means running out to buy reusable straws, organic cleaners, and packaging-free products.However, before you are delighted at “green” purchases, take a second to consider the results of a new study from Arizona University. By comparing the shopping habits, mental

42、 health and environmental impact of young people, the researchers reconfirmed a principle: Buying less beats buying “green” stuff without effort. And that is true whether you are looking at the impact that your purchases have on the Earth or on your own happiness.It should not come as a shock that s

43、imply consuming less is better for the planet. After all, every new item a factory yields requires some resources to produce. Take plastic bag bans for instance. If your city is getting rid of single-use shopping bags, it can be attractive to pay for a fashionable organic cotton bag hanging in the c

44、heck-out line of your local supermarket. However, experts insist that growing cotton is actually no better for the Earth than producing the conventional plastic bags. Then what is your best bet for carrying your groceries if you care about sustainability? Any bag you already own.It is not just the E

45、arth that will be happier if you buy less. You will feel more contented too, according to the new study. “People believe that they might well be self-satisfied about becoming environmentally conscious through green buying patterns, but it doesnt seem to be that way”, said the lead researcher Sabrina

46、 Helm. “Reduced consumption has effects on increased well-being, but we dont see thatwith green consumption.”“Owning every new green product on the market might make you feel contented, but if you relieve yourself of that burden of ownership, most people report feeling a lot better,” said Helm.12.

The sense of achievement.B. The sense of happiness.C. The sense of relief.D. The sense of security.15. What might be the best tit
