12、s way: Death itself is the narrator. The story is about a young girl named Liesel who has to live with foster parents during World War II. On the way to her new home, her brother dies, setting the gloomy tone for the story. There is hope, however, when Liesel discovers her love for reading and makes

13、 a relationship with a young Jewish man she helps hide from the Nazis.The Fault in Our StarsThis is probably the most likely book on the list to make you cry, as it records the experiences of teens who are dying from cancer and living their last days in love.

19、University less than two years ago. Such an academic life was just added color with a chance offered by the cultural exchanges project, Im in China. What I liked most about the experience was it was something completely different that you would never be able to do as a regular tourist, Bradley said

20、in an interview. Bradley was chosen to work as a recreational manager for a Chinese wedding.

That was Bradleys first time to be in a helicopter, and he was too absorbed in the stunning view of the beautiful coastline. I thi

22、nk it is so important to show other Australians the different landscapes China has to offer.

These experiences affect the development of the brain. When children receive more attention, they often have higher IQs. Babies receive information when the

28、y see, hear and feel things, which makes connections between different parts of the brain. There are a hundred trillion(万亿)connections in the brain of a three-year-old child.Researcher Judit Gervain tested how good newborns are at distinguishing different sound patterns. Her researchers produced ima

29、ges of the brains of babies as they heard different sound patterns. For example, one order was mu-ba-ba. This is the patternA-B-B. Another order was mu-ba-ge. This is the pattern “A-B-C”. The images showed that the part of the brain responsible for speech was more active during the A-B-Bpattern. Thi

30、s shows that babies can tell the difference between different patterns. They also were sensitive to where it occurred in the order.Gervain is excited by these findings because the order of sounds is the building block of words and grammar. Position is key to language, she says. If something is at th

31、e beginning or at the end, it makes a big difference: John caught the bear. is very different from The bear caught John.”Researchers led by scientist Patricia Kuhl have found that language delivered by televisions, audio books, the Internet, or smartphonesno matter how educationaldoesnt appear to be

32、 enough for childrens brain development. They carried out a study of nine-month-old American babies. They expected the first group whod watched videos in Chinese to show the same kind of learning as the second group who were brought face-to-face with the same sounds. Instead they found a huge differ

37、w. During the last five years, a large number of clothing companies, businesses and environmental organizations have started turning plastics into fabric(织物）to deal with plastic pollution. But theres a problem with this method. Research now shows that microfibers could be the biggest source of plast

38、ic in the sea.Dr. Mark Browne in Santa Barbara, California, has been studying plastic pollution and microfibers for 10 years now. He explains that every time synthetic(合成的)clothes go into a washing machine, a large number of plastic fibers fall off. Most washing machines cant collect these microfibe

39、rs. So every time the water gets out of a washing machine, microfibers are entering the sewers（下水道）and finally end up in the sea.In 2011, Browne wrote a paper stating that a single piece of synthetic clothing can produce more than 1, 900 fibers per wash. Browne collected samples from seawater and fr

40、eshwater sites around the world, and used a special way to examine each sample. He discovered that every single water sample contained microfibers.This is bad news for a number of reasons. Plastic can cause harm to sea life when eaten. Studies have also shown that plastic can absorb other pollutants

41、.Based on this evidence, it may seem surprising that companies and organizations have chosen to turn plastic waste into clothing as an environmental “solution.” Even though the science has been around for a while, Browne explains that hes had a difficult time getting companies to listen. When he ask

42、ed well-known clothing companies to support Benign by Designhis research project that seeks to get clothes that have a bad effect on humans and the environment out of the market, Browne didnt get a satisfying answer.

What can be inferred about Brownes Benign by Design research project?A. It has achieved great success.B. It hasnt got anything done.C. It is known to very few peop

45、le.D. It is facing some difficulties.35. Whats the best title for the text?A. Its important to learn to recycleB. Its never easy to solve pollution problemsC.
