8、etailed learning of plants and their properties must be extremely ancient. They have always been enormously important to the welfare of people, not only for food, but also for clothing, weapons, tools, dyes, naedicines, shelter, and many other purposes. Tribes living today in the jungle of the Amazo

9、n recognize hundreds of plants and know many properties of each. To them botany has no name and is probably not even recognized as a special branch of “knowledge“ at all.Unfortunately, the more industrialized we become the farther away we move from direct contact with plants. And the less distinct o

10、ur knowledge of botany grows. Yet everyone comes unconsciously on an amazing amount of botanical knowledge, and few people will fail to recognize a rose, an apple, or an orchid. When our Neolithic ancestors, living in the Middle East about 10,000 years ago, discovered that certain grasses could be h

11、arvested and their seeds planted for richer yields the next season, the first great step in a new association of plants and humans was taken. Grains were discovered and from them flew the marvel of agriculture: cultivated crops. From then on, humans would increasingly take their living from the cont

16、ave first impression of someone we just met. But why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her, aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sen

17、sitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a persons eyes, ears, nose, or mouth are placed in relation to each other make you sea him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information the sights and sounds of your world. These inc

18、oming “signals“ are compared against a host of “memories“ stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals “mean.“3 If you see someone you know and like at school, your brain says “familiar and safe.“ If you see someone new, it says, “new potentially threatening

19、.“ Then your brain starts match features of this stranger with other “known“ memories. The height, weight, dress, ethnicity, gestures, and tone of voice are all matched up. The more unfamiliar the characteristics, the more your brain may say, “This is new. I dont like this person.“ Or else, Tm intri

20、gued.“ Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes, ethnicity, gestures like your other friends; so your brain says: “I like this person.“ But these preliminary “impressions“ can be dead wrong.4 When we stereotype people, we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature

21、thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others. Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history, interest, values, strengths, and true character, we categorize them as jocks, geeks, or freaks.5 However, if we resist initial stereotyp

22、ical impressions, we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like. If we spend -time with a person, hear about his or her life, hopes, dreams, and become aware of the persons character, we use a different, more mature style of thinking and the most complex areas of our cortex, which allo

27、ies for the hard-working thief. With the shops so crowded and the staff so busy, it does not require any extraordinary talent to help you to take one or two little things and escape unnoticed.

28、ight of the sales, shoplifters today never know if they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed at work and obliged to attend a showi

29、ng of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors.

30、n important test case which encouraged other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls, called sputniks, first make an appearance in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to frighten shoplifters.

Soon after the equipment was in operation at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman secretly putting bot

32、tles of perfume into her bag.“As she turned to go,“ Chadwick recalled, “she suddenly looked up at the sputnik and stopped. She could not possibly have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is completely hidden, but she must have had a feeling that I was looking at her.“For a moment she

Or is it? Carcharodon Megalodon, commonly known as Megalodon, is believed

38、to have lived between 1 million and 5 million years ago and thought to have been 52 feet long. It is (or was) a shark that had a jaw 7 or more feet wide.

39、 a home deep in the ocean.There are many known “Living Fossils“: Coelacanth, Sea Cucumbers, Sea Urchins, Lobsters, Sea Stars. The common ones like lobsters and sea urchins are not really looked on as anything amazing. Theyve been around for thousands of years or more, and are easily accessible to us

40、. What if they werent accessible and yet still existed? We would label them extinct.

42、re of the channel allow sound waves to travel undisturbed. NOAAs Acoustic Monitoring Project has been using the Sound Surveillance System to listen for changes in ocean structure like ocean currents or volcanic activity. Most of the sounds recorded are common and of no concern. One sound, identified

43、 in 1977 by U.S. Navy “spy“ sensors, was odd. It was obviously a marine animal but the call was more powerful than any of the calls made by any other reported sea creature. It was too big for a whale. Could it be a deep-sea monster? One possibility was a giant squid, but no one is sure. It was named

44、 “Bloop“. Could it be Megalodon? If Megalodon is still alive down in the bottom of the ocean, we may some day soon discover it. Then what? Deep sea diving will never be the same, thats for sure!（分数：15.00）(1).The following is commonly known EXCEPT _.（分数：3.00）A.Megalodon, the largest shark, is extinct
