Not only do babies get to doze their days away, but theyve also mastered the fine art of learning in their sleep. By the time babies are a year old, they can recognize a lot of sounds and ev

8、en simple words. Marie Cheour at the University of Turku in Finland suspected that they might progress this fast because they learn language while they sleep as well as when they are awake: To test the theory, Cheour and their colleagues studied 45 newborn babies in the first days of their lives. Th

9、ey exposed all the infants to an hour of Finnish vowel sounds one that sounds like “oo“, another like “ee“ and a third boundary vowel peculiar to Finnish and similar languages that sounds like something in between. EEG(脑电图 ) recording of the infants brains before and after the session showed that th

10、e newborns could not distinguish the sounds. Fifteen of the babies then went back with their mothers, while the rest were split into two sleep-study groups. One group was exposed throughout their night-time sleeping hours to the same three vowels, while the others listened to the other, easier-to-di

11、stinguish vowel sounds. When tested in the morning, and again in the evening, the babies whod heard the tricky boundary vowels all night showed brainwave activity indicating that they could now recognize this sound.They could identify the sound even when its pitch was changed, while none of the othe

12、r babies could pick up the boundary vowel at all. Cheour doesnt know how babies accomplish this nighttime learning, but she suspects that the special ability might indicate that unlike adults, babies dont “turn off“ their cerebral cortex(大脑皮层 )while they sleep. The skill probably fades in the course

17、ace Masks May not Protect from Super-flu 1. If a super-flu strikes, face masks may not protect you. Whether widespread use of masks will help, or harm, during the next worldwide flu outbreak is a question that researchers are studying furiously. No results have come from their mask research yet. How

18、ever, the government says people should consider wearing them in certain situations anyway, just in case. 2. But its a question the public keeps asking while the government are making preparations for the next flu pandemic.So the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) came up with prelimin

19、ary guidelines. “We dont want people wearing them everywhere,“ said the CDC.“The overall recommendation really is to avoid exposure.“ 3. When thats not possible, the guidelines say to consider wearing a simple surgical mask if you are in one of the three following situations. First, youre healthy an

20、d cant avoid going to a crowded place. Second, youre sick and think you may have close contract with the healthy, such as a family member checking on you. Third, you live with someone whos sick and thus might be in the early stages of infection, but still need to go out. 4. Influenza pandemics can s

21、trike when the easy-to-mutate flu virus shifts to a strain that people never have experienced.Scientists cannot predict when the next pandemic will arrive, although concern is rising that the Asian bird flu might trigger one if it starts spreading easily from person to person. 5. During the flu pand

22、emic, you should protect yourself. Avoid crowds, and avoid close contract with the sick unless you must care for someone. Why cant mask added to this self-protection list? Be- cause they help trap virus-laden droplets flying through the air with a cough or sneeze. Simple surgical masks only filter t

23、he larger droplets. Besides, the CDC is afraid? masks may create a false sense of security. Perhaps someone who should have stayed home would don an ill-fitting mask and hop on the subway instead. 6. Nor does flu only spread through the air. Say someone covers a sneeze with his or her hand, then tou

24、ches a doorknob or subway pole. If you touch that spot next and then put germy hands on your nose or mouth, youve been exposed.Its harder to rub your nose while wearing a mask and so your face may get pretty sweaty under masks. You reach under to wipe that sweat, and may transfer germs caught on the

25、 outside of the mask straight to the nose. These are the problems face masks may create for their, users. 7. Whether people should or should not use face masks still remains a question. The general public has to wait patiently for the results of the mask research scientists are still doing. 23 A. Re

So a team of engineers is redesigning the humble handlebar in a bid to make it safer. Kristy Arbogast, a bioengineer at the Childrens Hospital of Philad

38、elphia in Pennsylvania, began the project with her colleagues after a study of serious abdominal (腹部的 ) injuries in children in the past 30 years showed that more than a third were ca,used by bicycle accidents. “The task was to identify how the injuries occurred and come up with some countermeasures

39、 (对策 )“, she says. By interviewing the Children and their parents, Arbogast and her team were able to reconstruct (重建 ;重构 ) many of the accidents and identified a common mechanism responsible for serious injures. They discovered that most occur when children hit an obstacle at a slow speed, causing

40、them to topple over. To maintain their balance they turn the handlebars, through 90 degrees but their momentum (冲力 ) forces them into the end of the handlebars. The bike then falls over and the other end of the handlebars hits the ground, ramming it into their abdomen. The solution the group came up

41、 with is a handgrip(握柄 ) fitted with a spring and damping (制动的 ;减速的 ,缓冲的 ) system. The spring absorbs up to 50 percent of the forces transmitted through the handlebars in an impact. The group hopes to commercialize (使商品化 ) the device, which should add only a few dollars to the cost of a bike. “But o

42、ur task has been one of education because up until now, bicycle manufacturer were unaware of the problem,“ says Arbogast. The team has also approached the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to try to persuade man-ufacturers to adopt the new design. A decision is expected later this year. 36 Accor

43、ding to the passage, some engineers are trying to improve the handlebars because （ A） they are not noble enough. （ B） they may kill children. （ C） they are likely to crash. （ D） they make the bike move at a low speed. 37 In paragraph 2, the author mentions a study of serious abdominal injuries （ A）

44、to discuss how abdominal injuries in children occur. （ B） to show that more than a third injuries were caused by bicycle accidents. （ C） to point out what the countermeasures can be. （ D） to tell us why Kristy Arbogast began the project. 38 Paragraph 3 mainly discusses （ A） why the children and thei

45、r parents were interviewed. （ B） when the children tom the handlebars through 90 degrees. （ C） what causes the children, to topple over. （ D） how serious injuries occur. 39 The passage implies that （ A） it is not easy to persuade manufacturers to adopt the new design. （ B） the team of engineers has

46、not found any countermeasures. （ C） children like to ride bicycles at a very low speed. （ D） a lot of children were killed in bicycle accidents in the past 30 years. 40 In which of the following ways the new handgrip works? （ A） It call be commercialized. （ B） It reduces the dangerous forces in bicy

Continental densities range from no permanent inhabitants in Antarc

48、tica to 211 per square mile in Europe. In the western hemisphere, population densities range from about 4 per square mile in Canada to 675 per square mile in Puerto Rico. In Europe the range is from 4 per square mile in Iceland to 831 per square mile in the Netherlands. Within countries there are wi

49、de variations of population densities. For example, in Egypt, the average is 55 persons per square mile, but 1,300 person inhabit each square mile in settled portions where the land is arable (适合耕种的 ). High population densities generally occur in regions of developed industrialization, such as the Netherlands, Belgium, and Great Britain, or where lands are intensively used for agriculture, as in Puerto Rico and Java.Low average population densities are charac
