8、holds the Guinness record for the most university degrees. The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of, but 15 is apparently quite impressive,

9、 since its only been done by one man. Although he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people of his age; at night, Baretti turns into a student again. Every morning, at 3 a. m., when most of the world is sleeping, he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp. He c

10、laims studying helps keep his mind active and that every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him.“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the same root,” he says, referring to the Italian words libro (book) and libero (free). He claims to have

11、 been inspired by the 19th century French essayist Louis-Francois Berlin, whose portrait(肖像) is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as “a man of culture and knowledge”.Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after

12、 his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection.“Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70-years-old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in f

13、ood science.Probably the most important thing about Baiettis achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italys Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thir

14、st (渴求) for knowledge didnt affect his professional activity and his family life.

17、to learn.C. Take things as they come. D. Strike the iron while it is hot.CEven before we were born, we knew our mothers voice and could distinguish it from other voices. Thats one of the key findings of an ongoing research project by Canadian and Chinese researchers. The research suggests that while

18、 we are still in the womb(子宫), our brains are learning speech patterns and laying the groundwork for language acquisition. Before birth, the brain is being set up to learn language, says Barbara Kisilevsky, who conducted the research.It had already been known that newborn babies show a preference fo

19、r their mothers voice, but her latest research shows they also prefer that familiar sound while still in the womb. Kisilevsky carried out the first leg of the research in China, because she already had a research project under way there and this fit nicely with that work.Working with researchers at

20、Zhejiang University, Kisilevsky tested 60 women in the final stage of pregnancy. All the mothers were tape-recorded as they read a poem out loud. Then the mothers were divided into two groups. Half the fetuses(胎儿) heard the recording of their own mother. The other half heard that of another mother,

21、but not their own.In both cases, the poem caused a change in the babys heart rate. The heart rate accelerated among those who heard their own mothers voice, and decelerated among those who heard a voice other than that of their mothers.Deceleration of the heart rate is an attention mechanism(机制), Ki

22、silevsky says. The heartbeat among fetuses who heard an unfamiliar voice slowed down, she says, because they were paying close attention to a voice they did not recognize. The fact that the heartbeat changed in both cases up for Mom, down for someone else shows the fetuses noticed both voices, she s

23、ays, and could tell one from the other.By the way, the poem is immaterial here. Kisilevsky suspects she would have had the same results if the mothers had been reading a phone book. Its not the content that the fetuses recognized, she says. We all have our own way of talking. We stop at different ti

24、mes, take breaths at different times, and thats what they are recognizing.28、What did Kisilevskys research find?A. Babies can recognize Moms voice while in the womb.B. Infants are more sensitive to Moms voice than fetuses.C. Babies are good language learners. D. Babies language acquisition begins af

25、ter birth.29、What led to the change in fetuses heart rate according to the research?A.Their curiosity about everything. B. Their familiarity with the voice. C. The quality of the recordings. D. The content of the poem recorded.30、What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Different experimental

26、 materials can lead to different results.B. Adults talk in a way quite different from babies. C. Speech patterns are what fetuses recognize in telling voices.D. Kisilevsky firmly believes her findings are applicable.31、In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage?A. Science. B. Medicine.

27、C. Education. D. Lifestyle. DHave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a n

28、ew name phubbers（低头族）.Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient

29、 die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is re

30、al. Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods

31、of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report. But thats not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting

32、happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported. It can also cost you your life.
