You either have it, or you don"t- a sense of direction, that is. But why is it that some people could find their
way across the Sahara without a map, while others can lose themselves in the next street?
Scientists say we"re all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One
theory is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being
carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we don"t use it, we lose it.
"Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around. Says Jim Martland, Research Director of the project." However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop
the skills."
Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of
direction. He makes the following suggestions:
If you are using a map, turn it so it relates to the way you are facing.
If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a tree. Note landmarks on
the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.
Simplify the way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town. Streams, or walls in the
countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks
such as tower blocks or hills which can help to find out where you are. Now you need never get lost again! |
| 1. Scientists believe that ______. |
A. some babies are born with a sense of direction
B. people learn a sense of direction as they grow older
C. people never lose their sense of direction
D. everybody possesses a sense of direction from birth |

B. They should never be allowed out alone if they lack a sense of direction.
C. They have a sense of direction and can find their way around.
D. They can develop a good sense or direction if they are driven around in a car. |
| 3. If you leave your bike in a strange place, you should ______. |
A. tie it to a tree so as to present it from being stolen.
B. draw a map of the route to help remember where it is.
C. avoid taking the same route when you come back to it.
D. remember something easily recognized on the route. |

The richest country
To reach the world"s richest country, you needn"t set out for the Middle East, but for the South Pacific, to a
tiny dot just south of the equator, called Nauru. Only 8.2 square miles in size, the whole of this country can be
seen from the air as the plane comes into land. The blue South Pacific reaches for thousands of miles in all
directions, the nearest piece of land being Ocean Island 200 miles to the east.
Nauro is so small that the plane lands in what is best regarded as the capital"s main street. The seaward
side of the runway has traffic lights at each end to stop cars when planes are landing. The tiny bus station
outside the airport is crowded with well-fed and brightly clothed Naurans with their modern cars.
With Naurans now getting an average(平均) of $44,500 a year, the island"s 60,000 people seem to have little
to worry about. A trip to the island"s central hump(隆峰) tells a slightly different story.
The hump with a great deal of phosphate (磷酸盐) round is Nauru"s wealth. When Nauru gained freedom
from the British government in 1908, about 40 million tons of the earliest 100 million tons of phosphate were
left. Since it has taken out another 10 million tons, which leaves enough only for another 20-25 years. |
| 1. The best title of the text should be______. |
A. Wealth and population of Nauru
B. The most beautiful country in the world
C. A small island surrounded by the Pacific
D. A small but rich island country |
| 2. It can be inferred from the text that______. |
A. Nauru has not built a runway in the airport yet
B. Nauru is not large enough to build the runway of the plane the
C. Naurans are not rich enough to build a runway of the plane
D. no cars run on the main street |
| 3. From the last sentence of the text we can learn that the writer wants to tell us______. |
A. why Naurans are so rich
B. something more about Nauru
C. something for Naurans to worry about
D. how the British robbed Nauru of their wealth |
| 4. How many tons of phosphate will probably be taken out in Nauru a year? |
A. 2,000,000 to 2,500,000 tons
B. 2,800,000 to 3,500,000 tons
C. 1,200,000 to 1,500,000 tons
D. 400,000 to 500,000 tons |
