When a baby cries, its parents will check on it as soon as they can and make sure it is okay. According to a new study, a baby's cry can make adults react very quickly, even if they are not related to the baby.
Oxford University researchers used the classic game whack-a-mole (打地鼠) for the study. Whack-a-mole requires people to hit one of nine buttons (按钮). Players must react as quickly as they can to whichever of the buttons that lights up. It is a game that requires speed and accuracy (准确度).
The study invited 40 men and women aged 19 to 59. Some of them had sons or daughters, although none of their children were babies. They played whack-a-mole after listening to different sounds, including babies crying, the crying of adults in trouble and birdsongs played at a similar pitch (高音) to the babies' cries.
The volunteers' scores were higher after listening to the sound of crying babies. Men and women had similar scores overall. The results showed that hearing a crying baby can trigger a reaction in adults.
"It's almost impossible to pay no attention to crying babies on planes. This is true even though there are so many other noises around," said Morten Kringelbach, the scientist who led the study. He added that in the course of human evolution (进化), taking care of babies has always been an important job for adults. When a baby is hungry, it will cry. As a result, human brains develop a special reaction to a baby's cry.
(1) According to the story, _____ can make adults react very quickly.
A．birdsongs B．babies' cries
C．babies' laughter D．the crying of adults
(2) The game "whack-a-mole" in the study shows _____.
A．men and women have different reaction speeds
B．women react to a baby's cry more quickly than men
C．a baby's cry can get special attention from adults
D．adults without babies react less quickly to babies crying
(3) What does the underlined "trigger" in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A．End. B．Cut. C．Push. D．Cause.
(4) What do we know from the story
A．It's hard for people not to notice babies' cries.
B．There were 59 volunteers who took part in the study.
C．Human brains have developed to take care of babies.
D．Taking care of babies is the most important thing for adults.
Where did you go during the summer holiday You may have visited Tsinghua and Peking Universities (大学). And you weren't alone. This summer, lots of tourists travelled to these two universities. Tsinghua University opens to the public (公众) at 8:30 a.m., however many people start to line up at 3-4 a.m., because people who come at 6 a.m. will be too late and can only enter in the afternoon. In fact, it's not only Chinese universities that are overcrowded (过度拥挤的) in summer. Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom also come across the same problem. The road in front of King's College. Cambridge is usually filled with tourists, including Chinese school children in uniforms. Universities in the United States are also popular among Chinese tourists. Nine out of ten Chinese visitors to the US want to visit a university. So why do Chinese tourists have such a big love for famous universities One reason is that many parents hope to get their children admitted to a top university in the future. Wang Sicong, 31, who comes from Xi'an, visited two famous US universities in 2014. "American universities are different from Chinese ones. There are no walls," he told The New York Times. "I am happy. I feel this urge (冲动) to have a free exchange of ideas with someone."

If you ask a middle school student what they want to be when they grow up, they might say they want to be a doctor or a scientist. But if you ask them for more information about these jobs, they may not know much.
A study showed that 60% middle school students said they had only a little knowledge of their dream jobs. Chinese Internet company Tencent (腾讯) did the study.
In China, many middle school students only get professional (专业的) information one-sided (片面地) during their growth. This gives them wrong ideas about some jobs. Taking part in more hands-on (动下的) activities will make young people start their career paths (道路) earlier and help them make sure that the job they choose is the right one for them.
Mi Ding, a 15-year-old girl from Shanghai spent her summer vacation taking part in the Economies (经济学) class in Chicago University. She learned more about economics by studying gone theory (理论). "At first, I was only interested in economics because my father works in this field," Mi Ding said. "But now I show great interest in economies and I will make it my career choice in the future," she said.

If the eyes are the windows of the soul, then the body is the mirror of our feelings. If we are feeling great, we may give our body signals. If we look at someone else’s body, we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So, reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case (假使) you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important, here are some numbers for you, 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say, and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语气) and the speed of their voice; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal (非口头的) signals will help you a lot, but you still need to focus on what people are saying. If you focus too much on their body language signals, you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to read people’s body language, but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too, Body language may be given several interpretations. Many signals have different meanings, depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.
(1) The numbers mentioned in the second paragraph are to _____.
A．explain (解释) what body language is
B．show the importance of body language
C．tell us body language is less used than verbal language
D．tell us body language is the only tool in communication

Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying...
Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever is in your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!
Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are the monitor in class, you can also use this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little to one side.
Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!
Posture (姿势). A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you normally don’t sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips (噘起嘴唇). You might also use this position to hold back a n angry comment you don’t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know you re not pleased.
(1) How many kinds of body language are mentioned in this passage
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
(2) When may you cross your arms
A．When someone helps you. B．When someone upsets you.
C．When someone hits you. D．When someone pleases you.

A．want others take your words seriously
B．want to be polite
C．want to be friendly in listening
D．want to make fun of others

A．The arm. B．The head. C．The posture. D．The mouth.
(5) Which statement is NOT true
A．Your legs tend to move around more when you are nervous.
