25、d even strangers in the street? Many believe we should begin by teaching first aid to children in schools. In Wales and Ireland, this is already the case with first aid being a compulsory part of the curriculum, but in Scotland and here in England, this is not the case.Maisie Parkinson, aged just 11

33、ed in school education.CWhen babies are just 3 to 4 months old, they can pick out images differences that adults never noticed. But after the age of four months, the infants lose their duper-sight abilities, reports Susana Martinez-Conde for Science America.The reasons why adults-or even babies olde

34、r than about 8 months - dont have it is that over time our brains learn what differences are important to notice. For example, when adults and look out at the images of a snail, they typically say that glossy(光滑的)snail A and glossy snail B are the most similar. The matte（表面无光泽的）snail C seems to be d

35、ifferent. But a baby can tell that snail B and snail C are actually more similar. Though it is hard for adults to seem snail A stands out from the others- The surface of this snails reflects very different lighting conditions babies are more sensitive to that image difference.Researchers based in To

36、kyo, Japan explored this ability of very young children by testing 42 infants ranging in age from 3 months to eight months. Since these babies couldnt yet talk the researchers tracked their perception of images based on how long the babies stared at each image. Previous research ahs shown that when

37、the a baby see something they consider new , they stare longer , objects they are familiar with, only a passing glance.The time differences in gaze showed that the three-and four-months-old babies noticed the lightning difference and were less impressed with differences in the surface-weather the im

38、ages were glossy or matte. But by the time the infants are 7 to 8 months old , their vision is closer to that of adults and they can no longer see the difference. Scientists call this type of change of perceptual narrowing, meaning that attention for classes and that people cant miss out on certain

39、differences. Its a normal part of the development of the brain and the vision.The loss of sensitivity isnt anything to mourn, though. The babies are keying in a difference that amounts to light changes, not a change and object itself. Adults instead recognize that this is the same snail , even if th

40、e environment around it has shifted in someway. Ignoring that relatively meaningless differences is a way that human tune our perception to our environment, allowing us to navigate it efficiently and successfully, Martinez-Conde writes for Science America. even if its left a large part of reality fo

The loss of sensitivity results from environmental adaptions.66. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To show the steps of a new

It was in the 1930s, when he was an editor if t

45、he literary magazine of Southern Methodist University（SMU）in Dallas, Texas. He also worked as a professor at SMU, and there was a girl student in his class who suffered from a serious back disease. She couldn;t afford the operation because her family was poor.

46、ston, a seaside town near Houston, Texas. She was cleaning out the attic（阁楼）one day when she came across an old dusty manuscript（手稿）. On its top page were the words, “By O. Henry”. It was a nice story, and she sent it to her daughter at SMU, who showed it to my father. My father had never read the s

47、tory before, but it sounded like O. Henry, and he knew that O. Henry had once lived in Houston. So it was possible that the famous author had gone to the beach and stayed in the Gainestown boardinghouse, and had written the story there and left the manuscript behind by accident. My father visited an

Face-to-face chatting is giving way to texting and messaging; people even prefer these electronic exchanges to, for instance, simply talking on a phone. Among these smaller trends, growing

54、research suggests we could be entering a period of crisis for the entire concept of friendship. Where is all this leading modern-day society? Perhaps to a dark place, a lonelier society where electronic craze slowly replaces the joys of human contact. Typically, the pressures of urban life are blame

55、d. Witness crowded bars and restaurants after work: We have plenty of acquaintances, though perhaps few individuals we can turn to and share close relationships. American sociologists have tracked related trends on a broader scale, well beyond the urban jungle. According to work published in the Ame

56、rican Sociological Review, the average American has only two close friends, and a quarter dont have any. While social networking sites and the like have grown dramatically, the crucial element is the quality of the connections they establish. A connection may only be a click away, but establishing a

57、 good friendship takes more. It seems common sense to conclude that “friending” online brings about shallow relationships as the term “friending” itself implies. No single person is at fault, of course. The pressures on friendship today are broad. They arise from the demands of work, or a general bu

How many individuals would say that friendship is the most important thing in their lives, only to move thousands of miles across the continent to take up a better-paid job? Of course, we learn how to make friends or not in our childhood. Recen

59、t studies on childhood and how the contemporary life of the child affects friendships are illuminating (启示). A central conclusion often reached relates to a lack of what is called “unstructured time”. Structured time results from the way an average day is arranged for our kids time for school, time

60、for homework, time for music practice, even time for play. Yet too often today, no period is left unstructured. After all, who these days lets his child just wander off down the street? We simply “hang out”, with no tasks, no deadlines and no pressures. It is in those moments that children and adult

61、s alike can get to know others for who they are in themselves. Aristotle had an attractive expression to capture the thought: close friends, he observed, “share salt together.” Its not just that they sit together, passing the salt across the meal table. Its that they sit with one another across the

62、course of their lives, sharing its moments, bitter and sweet. “The desire for friendship comes quickly; friendship does not.” Aristotle also remarked.
