Scientists at Royal Holloway, University of London  and Queen Mary, University of London have discovered that bees learn to fly the shortest possible route between flowers even if they discover the flowers in a different order. Bees are effectively solving the “traveling salesman problem”, and they are the first creatures found to do this.

The traveling salesman must find the shortest route that allows him to visit all locations on his route. Computers solve it by comparing the length of all possible routes and choosing the shortest, and it can keep computers busy for days. However, bees solve it without computer assistance using a brain the size of grass seed. Dr. Nigel Raine, from the School of Biological Sciences at Royal Holloway explains, “Bees solve traveling salesman problems every day. They visit flowers at multiple locations and because bees use lots of energy to fly, they find a route which keeps flying to a minimum. ”
The team used the computer to control artificial flowers to test whether bees would follow a route defined by the order in which they discovered the flowers or if they would find the shortest route. After exploring the location of the flowers, bees quickly learned to fly the shortest route.
As well as improving our understanding of how bees move around the landscape pollinating(授粉)crops and wild flowers, this research, which is due to be published in The American Naturalist, has other applications. Our lifestyle relies on networks such as traffic on the roads, information flow on the Web and business supply chains. By understanding how bees can solve their problems with such a tiny brain, we can improve our management of these everyday networks without needing lots of computer time. Dr. Raine adds, “Despite their tiny brains, bees are capable of extraordinary feats of behavior. We need to understand how they can solve the traveling salesman problem without a computer. ”
小題1: What would be the best title of the passage?
A．Bees help salesmen travel
B．Tiny-brained bees solve a complex mathematical problem
C．How bees discover the flowers
D．How to solve the “traveling salesman problem”
小題2:We may infer from the second paragraph that the “traveling salesman problem” 　　　.
A．can be solved by a computer easily
B．can’t even be solved by a computer
C．can puzzle both people and computers
D．remains to be solved by scientists
小題3: The main purpose of the last paragraph is to　　　.
A．provide further proof for the research
B．tell us how bees can fly the shortest route between flowers
C．tell us how the research about bees’ flying route was conducted
D．explain the importance of the research
小題4: It can be concluded from the passage that　　　.
A．a(chǎn)ll creatures are smarter than computers
B．the research about bees’ flying route can be applied to many fields
C．our networks are more complex than bees’ ones
D．with the help of the computer we can find out how bees can solve the “traveling salesman problem”

Many parents take on the role of being their children’s preschool teacher and the responsibility of readying them for kindergarten. To achieve this goal, it is important for parents to introduce a variety of subjects in a positive and playful manner.
“Learning should not be forced,”says Marion Godwin, who has taught first grade in Moorestown, N. J. for more than 30 years.“ It should be taught according to what they know and do best—and that is‘ play’. When teaching  them, play games and have fun with the subject. And parents should always be looking for‘teachable moments’.”
“You want a child to be a lifelong learner, so you want to show them learning is everywhere,”she says.“If parents take the time to lay a strong educational foundation, their children will keep building on it.”
Introduce children to science with hands-on activities that interest them, such as growing plants from seeds, discussing animals and how to care for pets, and observing the chemical changes that occur during cooking”, she says.
“Sorting activities, simple patterns and counting games are a great way to teach children the basics of math, and taking them on field trips, singing songs and reciting rhymes also are ways to prepare them for the first day of school”, she says.
“I think children are naturals when it comes to computers,” she says.“Let them play educational games on the computer and teach them how to type their first names using the keyboard. When they are more familiar with using the computer, let them find pictures of animals and places on the web. ”
“Don’t criticize the child,” she says. “You can’t force them to learn something. If they don’t get something right, so what? Smile and be happy and make the experience joyful. Parents need to understand that if a child gets something wrong, they may think something is wrong with them. Keep working with them and when they get the right answer make sure you tell them how hard they worked to get the correct answer. ”
小題1:Marion Godwin tells us that we should teach the children according to their_____        .
A．subjects and needs
B．level and interest
C．teachable moments
D．strong educational foundation
小題2:According to Godwin, children should ____________________       .

Some weight­loss camps, which are rare in China just a few years ago，have multiplied in Beijing, Qingdao, Shenzhen，and other cities. Today about 15 percent of adults, or 200 million Chinese, are reportedly overweight.Of these, 90 million—about 7 percent—are obese(極肥胖的)．
Experts say the obesity epidemic(流行病) is spreading to children, though more slowly than in adults. The obesity, they say, will do harm to the health of China’ s citizens and economy.“We're seeing a very large number of teenagers who are quite heavy and aren't moving much，” said Barry Popkin, a nutrition(營養(yǎng)) professor. Popkin carries out an ongoing health­and­nutrition survey of 16,000 households in China. He says more kids today are overeating and putting on weight “quite quickly.” In just ten years China‘s childhood obesity rate has doubled，with the greatest gains coming in urban areas.“In big cities it's a big problem.”
Some experts blame the extra fat on a range of factors, many of them tied to China’ s rapidly changing economy and culture. The diets of Chinese adults and children are far higher in meats, fish, eggs, dairy products, fats and sugars than ever before. In addition，kids—especially city dwellers—are more sedentary today and spend more time indoors in front of homework, television，computer games, and the Internet.
Shuwen Ng，a health economist, says that kids in China now have pocket money, and they spend a portion of it on junk food. Ng adds that advertising and peer groups influence kids' food choices. Certain foods, such as new candies or fast food, have attractive features.
China’ s childhood obesity rate stillfall behind that of the United States, where some 15 percent of kids are said to be obese. But the long­term effects are equally serious.
小題1:According to the passage we know________.
A．weight­loss camps have been very popular in China six years ago
B．a(chǎn)bout 290 million Chinese are overweight in China in all
C．in China childhood obesity rate in rural areas is lower than that in major cities

If English means endless new words，difficult gramrnar and sometimes strange pronunciation，you are wrong．Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?
According to a new study by a British university，learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power，Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter．This is the area of the brain which processes information．It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles．
The study also found the effect is greater，the younger people learn a second language.
A team led by Dr Andrea Mechelli，from University College London，took a group of Britons who only spoke English．They were compared with a goup of “early bilinguals．’’who had learnt a second language before the age of five，as well as a number of later learners．
Scans showed that grey matter density(密度)in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language．But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language，the smaller the difference.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language，”said the scientists.
It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn．
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. ‘‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible，”he said．“You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas．”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. Reading，writing，and comprehension were all tested．The results showed，that the younger they started to learn，the better．“Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world，’’explained the scientists．
小題1:The main subject talked about in this passage is         
A．language can help brain power
B．man's ability of learning a second language
C．science on learning a second language
D．language learning and maths study
小題2:In the second paragraph，the writer mentions “exercise” in order to     
A．say language is also a kind of physical labor
B．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well
C．show the importance of using the language when you learn the language
D．prove that one needs more practice when he(she)is learning a language
小題3:The underlined word‘‘bilinguals”in Paragraph 4 probably means       
A．people who can speak two languages
B．second language learners
C．researchers on language learning
D．a(chǎn)ctive language learners
小題4:We may know from the scientific findings that        
A．the experience of learning a second language has bad effect on people’s brain
B．there is no difference between a later second language learner and one who doesn’t know a second language
C．the earlier you start to learn a second language，the higher the grey matter density is
D．the ability of learning a second language is changing all the time

A．learning a second language is the same as studying maths
B．Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
C．you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language

You might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands.
Doctors say that body contact is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin (血紅蛋白)－a type of matter that produces the red color in blood increases greatly. This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. They became sad and negative. Studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers.
Human babies react in much the same way. Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean. The reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses.         
Experiments show that most people like being touched. And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients' fear of treatment. Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. But even if we don't like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of "happy brain" chemicals. So let's have a big smile and don't forget to keep in touch.
小題1:Which of the following is NOT true?
A．Everyone knows that body contact can make people happier.
B．People may work harder because of body contact.
C．Your fingertips can do something.
D．People may not understand the importance of touching.
小題2:According to the passage _____.
A．human brains need oxygen and blood supply now and then
B．touches from doctors and nurses have nothing to do with treatment

A．to be useful or helpful
B．to get something useful or helpful
C．to be ill

You might think that Western students are less shy when it comes to mingling with the opposite sex, but the truth is that pupils in the UK can feel just as awkward. Britons are actually quite reserved and being at university can make them feel out of their comfort zone. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the other gender on campus.
However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called “Freshers Week”. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize and lose their inhibitions(顧慮； 抑制力). It is a one-week long party for first year students to welcome them before lectures and coursework begin.
I remember my first week at university - it was terrifying. I looked at the schedule for Freshers Week and was amazed at how much was planned. Every hall of residence organizes its own events to help students become friends with the people they live with. My hall was called “Goldney Hall” and the week ahead included a talent show, a comedy night, and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.
The first event I went to was a school kids party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school. This party encouraged me to talk to all the people on my floor. One boy, who lived opposite my room, was very handsome and I felt nervous speaking to him at first. But when we met at the party dressed in silly school outfits, I remember feeling a lot more relaxed speaking to him.
It sounds strange, but drinking and dressing up seems to be how Britons overcome their shyness at university. My Freshers Week was hectic, but I managed to forget how scared I was.
One thing’s for sure: nothing helps you lose your inhibitions(顧慮； 抑制力) quite like dressing up as a golfer – complete with a golf club, checked hat and tweed jacket!
小題1:What does the underlined phrase mean in the fifthparagraph?
A．scaredB．disappointedC．happyD．very busy
小題2:In Britain, universities organize the “Freshers Week”to__________.
A．help the first year students to get rid of the shyness.
B．help the first year students to know about the campus.
C．intruduce the teachers to the first year students.
D．help the first year students to adapt to the campus life as soon as possible.
小題3:Which of the following statements is true according to the paragraph?
A．My first week life at university was happy.
B．The Western students also don’t know what to do when they meet the opposite sex.
C．Drinking and dressing up is how Britons overcome their scare at university.
D．Dressing up as a golfer can’t help you overcome the shyness.
小題4:What is the main idea of the paragraph?
A．My first year in the university.
B．What is the “Freshers Week”?
C．My busy first week campus life.
D．How to get rid of the first year students’ shyness.
小題5:Why did the school kids dressed up as if they were in school in the party?
A．because they felt a lot more relaxed speaking to others.
B．because they felt shy speaking to others.
C．because they felt nevous speaking to others.
D．because they felt frightened speaking to others.

A board game is a game played on a pre-marked surface or “board” according to a set of rules. Board games have been played in most cultures and societies throughout history. Do you think of yourself as a bit of an expert at board games like chess or Go?
Maybe you’re not quite as good as you think. New research from the University of Manchester and Oxford suggests complex games like these are impossible to learn fully. They may even be too complex for the human mind to understand.
Researchers studied two-player games, to try and understand the strategies which people use to make decisions during the game. Some games with two players are simple, with only a small number of possible moves. Players can quickly work out the best strategy but that means the game soon becomes boring.
It gets more interesting when there are many possible moves. That’s why people are so fascinated by complex board games like chess or Go, or some card games. But what the researchers found was that with difficult games, players find it hard to work out the best strategy and their actions become less reasonable.
This research is part of the field called game theory: the study of human strategic decision-making. Much thinking on how people play complex games is based on something called “the balance point”, which is when players have a perfect knowledge of what they are going to do and of what their rivals are going to do.
When you add more than two players then of course the game becomes even harder to understand. Trading on the stock market is an example of a complex multi-player game.
小題1:Which of the following games belongs to board games?
A．footballB．badmintonC．swimmingD．Mahjong
小題2:It can be inferred in the passage that _______.
A．the simpler the board game is, the better it is
B．people dislike board games for the complex moves
C．players are easy to lose patience when in difficult games
D．it’s possible for people to understand complex games thoroughly
小題3:If players want to get to the balance point, they should ______.
A．a(chǎn)sk other players to work out the best strategy
B．have a good knowledge of the games they are playing
C．figure out the next actions of themselves and their opponents
D．come to a quick decision about what to do next by themselves
小題4:In which section can we read this passage in a newspaper?
A．CultureB．DiscoveryC．CareerD．Campus
小題5:The author intends to tell us ___________.
A．a(chǎn) new research about board games
B．the importance of playing board games
C．how the players win board games
D．how to learn board games fully
