Dog owners now have a little help understanding their furry friends.A new device(装置) called Bow-Lingual “translates” dog barks into English, Korean or Japanese.Bow-Lingual Japanese inventors spent much time and money analyzing dog barks.They found that dog noises can be broken down into six different emotions: happiness, sadness, frustration, anger, assertion and desire. Part of the Bow-Lingual device hangs on the dog’s collar.The other part is a handle-held unit for the owner.When the dog barks, the unit displays translated phrases. Some people have scoffed at Bow-Lingual.“Who would pay $120 to read a dog’s mind?” they ask. But those who have purchased(购买) Bow-Lingual praise the device.Pet owner Keiko Egawa, of Japan, says it helps her sympathize(同情) with her dog Harry.“Before we go to the park, he always says he wants to play,” says Egawa, “and after a walk, he always says he is hungry.” Bow-Lingual is not yet available(可用的) in Chinese.So you’d better keep studying Studio Classroom, or soon your dog may know more English than you do! 小题1:This passage is mainly talking about _____.A.Bow-Lingual’s inventors | B.dog barks and their different emotions | C.talking dogs | D.a little help for dog owners | 小题2:Which of the following sentences is TRUE according to the passage?A.Dog owners now can understand their dogs better. | B.Bow-Lingual enables dogs to talk in English, Korean or Japanese. | C.People who have used Bow-Lingual say it helps them better understand their dogs. | D.More and more Chinese dog owners would keep studying Studio Classroom in order to know more English than their dogs. | 小题3:What does “scoffed at” mean in the fourth paragraph?A.Shouted at. | B.Questioned about. | C.Laughed at. | D.Doubted about. | 小题4:The writer of this passage is most likely to be _____.A.a reporter | B.a dog owner | C.an advertiser | D.an expert on dog barks |

There was simply too much news and too much information freely available on the net.But was it accurate? Whose opinion should we trust? A survey found that 60% of UK adults think it is worth paying for a "good newspaper", and most of those said they believed more of what they read in the paid-for newspapers. Here was something newspapers understood—here was what they could offer: news plus comment and opinion. And the Internet now offered opportunities.A newspaper was just that: news printed on paper.But the Internet now offered newspapers different places to print, and in different media. This may explain why the readership of newspapers online in the UK is very different from people who read printed newspapers. The most popular newspaper in the UK is The Sun and is also the most popular newspaper in the world.The "mid—market" audience mainly reads The Daily Mail.Of the "quality" newspapers, the most popular is the Daily Telegraph. Online, it’s a different story.The most popular site is The Mail, which has 2.3 million "browsers" every day.And the next most popular site is The Guardian. 小题1:’Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A.Printed newspapers are disappearing. | B.The most popular newspapers has the most popular newspaper website as well. | C.People from other countries also enjoy reading British newspapers. | D.The free news on the Internet makes people unwilling to buy newspapers. | 小题2:What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A.People no longer believe what the Internet tells them. | B.Printed newspapers are out of date. | C.Different readers may have their various reading taste. | D.Printed newspapers can not deal with the challenge from the Internet. | 小题3:What is the main idea of the passage?A.The UK has the most popular printed newspapers in the world. | B.The condition of British newspapers in the information age. | C.Printed newspapers face a sever challenge. | D.The latest developments in online news sites. | 小题4:From the survey we can see that the British are generally_____ to the news on the Net.A.traditional | B.conservative | C.cautious | D.carefree |

He warned Maureen Harkavy, “Put that cigarette out, or I’ll land the plane and have you arrested.” Maureen, 47, was so shocked she wrote to the airline’s chairman.But his reply was even ruder. “You seem to think you have a God-given right to pollute your neighbors’ atmosphere,” wrote John Ferriday of Paramount Airways. (a)Said Maureen, “I only found out about it when I was checking in.I’m a nervous flyer so I lit a cigarette during the flight.A stewardess (空姐) asked me to put it out, but I said I wanted to carry on as there was no rule against smoking on the plane.” She was just finishing her cigarette when the pilot arrived.

(d) “He was loud and rude,” said Maureen.“He said if I lit another cigarette he would land the plane at Bordeaux and hand me to the French police.” Later, from her home in Mosely, Birmingham, Maureen wrote to the company and received the rude reply. 小题1:The second half of the story has been in wrong order.(Parts a-d) Choose the rearranged order which you think is right.A.a, c, b, d | B.c, a, b, d | C.c, a, d, b | D.d, a, b, c | 小题2:The pilot warned Maureen Harkavy ____________________.A.to throw her cigarette out of the plane, or he would get her off the plane. | B.to stop smoking, or he would bring down the jet and hand her to the police. | C.not to light another cigarette after her first one. | D.to stop smoking, or he would bring her to justice. | 小题3:Maureen Harkavy ______ on the plane.A.accepted the warning | B.agreed to the warning | C.refused to do what she was told to | D.was so shocked that she wrote to the airline’s chairman | 小题4:In the answer letter to Maureen Harkavy, the airline’s chairman ____ .A.made an apology to her for his worker’s rudeness | B.made sure that he would solve the problem | C.said that she had the right to smoke on his plane | D.actually completely agreed with what the pilot said |

PEOPLE who have had a painful experience may wish they could wipe the memory from their minds. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, US, say that this may someday be possible. A drug remains far off, but researchers have laid a foundation with their discovery that proteins can be removed from the brain’s fear center to cut memories forever. Previous research had already shown that a special behavior therapy (治疗) could cut painful memories. But relapse (复发) was possible because the memory hadn’t necessarily disappeared. By looking at that process, Richard Huganir and Roger Clem, two researchers from Johns Hopkins University, discovered a “window of vulnerability (脆弱的窗口)” when proteins are created. The proteins help signals travel within the brain as painful memories are made. Because the proteins are unstable, they can be easily removed with drugs or behavior therapy to cut memories. Researchers used mice to find the window, but think the process would be the same in humans. They used electric shocks to make the mice fear a certain sound. The sound triggered (触发) the creation of the proteins, called calcium-permeable (钙通透性) AMPARS, which formed for a day or two in the fear centers of the mice’s brains. The researchers are working on ways to reopen the window by recalling (唤醒) the painful memory and using drugs to remove the protein. They published their report online last month in Science Express. Their research has drawn interest and concern from experts in mental healthcare. Kate Farinholt, a mental health expert with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Maryland, US, said many people suffering from a painful event might benefit from erasing a memory. “Erasing a memory and then everything bad built on that is an amazing idea, and I can see all sorts of potential ,” she said. But there are a lot of unanswered questions, too. “Completely deleting a memory is a little scary. How do you remove a memory without removing a part of someone’s life,” Farinholt said. “And is it best to do that, considering that people grow and learn from their experiences?” 小题1:What have researchers at Johns Hopkins University found recently? A.A new drug to erase painful memories from human brains. | B.A special behavior therapy to erase painful memories. | C.Removing certain proteins from the brain can wipe painful memories. | D.Erasing memory damages a patient’s brain functions. | 小题2:What makes it possible to erase painful memories according to Paragraph 4? A.The way the brain cells are created. | B.The unstable character of the proteins in the brain. | C.The strength of the signals the proteins send. | D.The drugs that can stop the formation of memories. | 小题3:Which of the following shows the stages of the process done on mice? a. removal of fear proteins b. making mice fear a certain sound c. fear proteins created in mice brains d. making mice recall painful memoriesA.a-b-c-d | B.d-a-c-b | C.b-c-d-a | D.c-b-d-a | 小题4:What is Kate Farinholt’s opinion of the research? A.People may lose the chance to learn from their bad experiences. | B.The research will be a great breakthrough in treating painful memories. | C.People could suffer long-term memory loss. | D.People could forget happy memories as well. |

NEW YORK (AP) — In a report, the Pew Internet and American Life Project said 47 percent of U.S. adult Internet users have looked for information about themselves through Google or another search engine. That is more than twice the 22 percent of users who did in 2002, but Pew senior research specialist Mary Madden was surprised that the growth wasn’t higher than it had been expected. “Yes it’s doubled, but it’s still the case that there’s a big chunk of Internet users who have never done this simple act of connecting their names with search engines,” she said. “Certainly more and more people have become aware of this, but I don’t know it’s necessarily kept pace with the amount of content we post about ourselves or what others post about us.” About 60 percent of Internet users said they aren’t worried about the extent of information about themselves online, although they are increasingly concerned over how that data can be used. Americans under 50 and those with more education and income were more likely to self-Google---in some cases because their jobs demand a certain online persona(形象). Meanwhile, Pew found that 53 percent of adult Internet users admit to looking up information about someone else, famous people not included. Often, it’s to find someone they’ve lost touch with. But looking up information about friends, relatives, colleagues and neighbors also was common. Although men and women equally searched for online information about themselves, women were slightly more likely to look up information about someone they are dating. In many cases, the search is not harmful, done to find someone’s contact information. But a third of those who have conducted searches on others have looked for public records, such as bankruptcies(***) and divorce proceedings. A similar number have searched for someone else’s photo. Pew also found that teens were more likely than adults to limit the range of people who can see their information at an online hangout like Facebook or News Corp.’s MySpace, contrary to conventional wisdom. “Teens are more comfortable with the applications in some ways, (but) I also think they have their parents and teachers telling them to be very careful about what they post and who they share it with,” Madden said. 小题1: Mary Madden was surprised at the result that ______.A.fewer and fewer adult Internet users are looking for information about themselves | B.the number of adult Internet users looking for information about themselves has doubled | C.more adult Internet users should have looked for information about themselves | D.so many people don’t know how to connect their names with search engines | 小题2:According to the report some people haven’t looked for information about themselves because ______.A.they are not rich enough to get a computer | B.they are not well educated | C.they don’t know they can look for their own information on the Internet | D.they think it unnecessary to look for their own information on the Internet | 小题3: Which group of people are more likely to look for their own information on the Internet? A.Teens. | B.Women. | C.The old. | D.The educated. | 小题4:People look for others’ information on the Internet mainly to ______.A.see what they are doing | B.find someone they have lost touch with | C.have a look at their photos | D.know their personal affairs |
