Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without

Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing pos
itions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others, by varying sounds we make as we breathe out.Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.
Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history.

James Oliver, psychologist, has created his own “time management matrix (模式)”. He writes a list of things to do and then organizes them into categories: things that have to be done straight away, other things that it would be good to do today, things that are important but haven’t got to be done immediately and things that are less urgent but that he doesn’t want to forget. “Using categories to order the world is the way the human mind works,” he says. “After that, you should divide things into levels of importance.” But he also warns, “If people get too absorbed in making fists, it doesn’t work. They have too many categories and lose their ability to decide which is the most important.”
It’s all a question of what works best for you, whether it’s a tidy notebook, a packet of Post-it notes or the back of your hand． Having tried all these, student Kate Rollins relies on a computerized list, which is printed out each morning. “My electronic organizer has changed my life,” she says. “Up to now, I’ve always relied on my good memory, but now that I’m working and studying, I find I’ve got too much to keep in my head．”
So what are you waiting for? No, you’re not too busy to make today the first day of your upgraded time-managed life. In fact, there’s no better time titan the present to begin to take increased control of your work and life. So, get out your pencil and pen and make a list.
小题1:The main purpose of making lists is to .
| A．help map out one’s future | B．divide things into levels of importance |
| C．treat certain diseases such as depression | D．organize one’s work and life reasonably |
| A．good memory helps in list making |
| B．too much’ listing might be misleading |
| C．women usually make a lot more lists than men |
| D．people with high-powered jobs make lists most |
| A．groups | B．portions | C．items | D．areas |
| A．suggest a way of raising one’s living standard |
| B．introduce some ways of business management |
| C．urge people to develop the habit of listing |
| D．warn people not to rely on their memory |
Her name then was Ruby Nell. It was Nov. 14, 1960. She was the first black child to enroll at this all-white elementary school according to the court order to desegregate in New Orleans schools. Her story is moving -- she was a very courageous child -- and remains a significant proof against intolerance (不宽容) of all kinds. Ruby’s photo brings out another powerful image on her website: Norman Rockwells symbolic painting for Look magazine on Jan. 14, 1964, “The Problem We All Live With.”
Rockwell was an illustrator of exceptional skill and charm. He produced a vast number of unforgettable images over a long career, many of them involving children. His American kids are innocent and appealing, but often, at the same time, decidedly naughty. His method was to photograph his models, and the resulting paintings were photographic． But it is revealing to see how the artist slightly changed facial expressions from photo to oil painting in order to make his paintings communicate with the viewer. Communication, even persuasion, lay at the back of his work; this was art for effect.
“The Problem We All Live With” belongs to Rockwell’s later work, when he began openly showing his strong belief in liberty. This is a highly persuasive image. Before he arrived at the final copy, one sketch (草图) shows the little girl closer to the two officers following her than to those in front. In the finished picture, the girl seems more determined, independent, and untouched． The unfriendly tomatoes thrown on the wall are behind her now, and she, is completely unaffected．
小题1:Ruby Nell was protected by officers on her way to school, because .
| A．she was a little fighter against racism |
| B．she was very young, short and timid |
| C．she was the first black to study in an all-white school |
| D．she was chosen by the com t0be’wi’th white children |
| A．social program for American children |
| B．famous painting by Norman Rockwell |
| C．photo displayed on Ruby Bridges’ website |
| D．exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum |
| A．fight against the white | B．end racial separation |
| C．struggle for freedom | D．stop the black-white conflict |
| A．how Rockwell encouraged Ruby to fight against racism |
| B．how Ruby won her fight to go to an all-white school |
| C．how Rockwell expressed his protest in .Iris work |
| D．how persuasive Rockwell’s earlier work of art is |
Designed to improve a person’s senses and skills, the device could be as simple as a hearing aid. Or it could be a full-body suit that senses what you’re going to do, then helps you do it better.
“A superman suit would be the final result in wearable robotics,” said Francois Pin, head of robotics and energy systems at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory（橡树林国家实验室）, US. While these suits are at least ten years away, in some areas the technology is already in use.
Researchers are developing artificial arms and legs that allow old, disabled or injured people to move freely. Thus US Army is interested in using wearable robot legs to help soldiers run faster, carry more equipment and be stronger in battle. Jobs that involve lifting heavy loads or saving lives from the rubble of an earthquake could also become much easier.
A robot is a device that responds to a command. You’re probably with simple robots, such as toy cars or airplanes that respond to buttons you push on a remote control.
Wearable robotics goes further. Instead of just receiving information through a wire or remote control, the robotic device can send information back to its controller.
Suppose you wore a sleeve that has sensors where your joints are. Every time you move your arm, the sleeve senses your movements and sends the information to a robot, which then moves its arm just as you did. When the robot hits or touches something, it sends a signal back to the sleeve and you sense the action.
In this way, scientists are working to wrap the robot around the person. Their goal is to make the sleeve, shoe or suit help you do what you want to do.
小题1:Which of the following can replace the underlined word “ supercharged” in Paragraph one?
| A．expensive | B．overcharged | C．advanced | D．full of electricity |
| A．remote controls | B．hearing aids |
| C．wearable robot legs | D．superman suits |
| A．it will be ten years before robotic devices are in use |
| B．the wearable robotics technology has been employed in some areas |
| C．the robots in the robotic devices will do whatever you want to do |
| D．people must become lazier and less healthier in the future |
