Visit at Night
Riding up the Eiffel Tower at night and looking out over the streets of Paris, you’ll see why Paris is known as the “City of Light”. At street level，the spotlights on the top of the Tower zoom across the Paris skyline, and the reflections of the Tower in the Seine are sights not to be missed.

Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an old person company and helps him remember to take medicine. That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a 3-million-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for the special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or AI, to Hasbro's “Joy for All” robot.
The cat has already been on sale for several years. Though priced at over 1,000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “companion” for old people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Brown's Humanity Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities old adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or to see a doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.
It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia. The “Joy for All” cat that Elliott bought this year has become a true companion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater.
The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between humans and the cat in which humans feel the cat needs them. By doing so, the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.
5．What's the purpose of the project
A．To relieve the pain of the elderly. B．To promote the sales of a robot.
C．To invent a robotic cat for the elderly. D．To help make the robotic cat smarter.
6．Compared with the old model, what will the new robotic cat be like
A．Smaller. B．Cheaper. C．More talkative. D．Softer.
7．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．A talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.
B．Feelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.
C．Each family can afford such a cat in the future.
D．The feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.
In a recent study of 19-month-olds, University of Chicago doctoral student Lauren Howard found that children who heard various languages in their neighborhoods were more receptive to people who spoke languages other than their parents ‘language.
“We measured imitation. At this age, that’s how they show us their willingness to learn, ”explained Howard. The lead author of the report titled Neighborhood Linguistic Diversity Predicts Infants' Social Learning. The experiments tested how well the babies could learn new tasks from a non- English speaker.
The study, which included 82 children from the Chicago and Washington areas, was in the November issue of Cognition.
“Babies are not only affected by parents and caregivers--- previous studies proved that --but also by people they hear at the store or on the bus, "Howard said. “Incidental exposure matters.”
The study indicates that kids in diverse communities may grow up to have open minds. Good news for families living in such neighborhoods--- but can other families do something to increase children's cultural exposure？
Cultural diversity can be within reach, even in unlikely areas. Although she grew up in not very diverse"， Julie, 23， said she picked up much knowledge about other languages and cultures from the many students her family hosted through the AFS-USA international student exchange program.
“It’s the little differences that make you more understanding and less judgmental, ”Julie said “Yuilya from Kazakhstan, for example, was very disciplined because she couldn't go to college unless her grades were good. Matias from Paraguay wasn't used to being on time because his culture is more laid-back. ”
For families unable to host a student for a whole year, AFS-USA offers other volunteer opportunities, such as being “welcome families ”to ease students ’ transitions（过渡）.
But there are countless ways to expose kids to other countries, said Lucas, author of “Growing Up Global: Raising Children to Be at Home in the World.”
Just a few of her tips: Take the kids to foreign films. Try exotic restaurants. Put a world map on the wall. Help your children’s teachers make global classrooms. Encourage the kids to invite friends of other cultures for dinner. “They’ll thank you later, "Lucas said.
8．What does Howard stress by saying "Incidental exposure matters"？
A．Babies are also influenced by people outside their home
B．Parents fail to realize the importance of incidental learning
C．Parents and caregivers have more influence on babies
D．Babies learn little knowledge at the store or on the bus.
9．How was Julie exposed to different cultures？
A．She frequently volunteered in some welcome families
B．She lived in neighborhoods with various language learn
C．She was a member of the AFS-USA program
D．She learned from the foreign students living in her home

C．Tolerant D．anger
11．What are Lucas's tips mainly about？
A．How to improve children’s behavior
B．How to teach children foreign languages

Is there a way to turn back the aging process in people For centuries, people have been looking for a “fountain of youth.” The idea is that if you find a magical fountain, and drink its water, you will not age.
Researchers in New York did not find an actual fountain of youth, but they may have found a way to turn back the aging process. It appears that the answer may be called the hypothalamus, which is part of your brain. It controls important body activities, including growth, the way we process food and so on. Researchers found that hypothalamus neural stem cells (干细胞) also influence how fast aging takes place.
Dongsheng Cai was the leading researcher in a study on aging in mice. He and his team reported their findings. “when the hypothalamus starts aging, particularly the loss of hypothalamus stem cells, so does the body.” he said.
Using this information, the researchers began trying to activate (激活) the hypothalamus in laboratory mice. The results show that the treatment slowed aging in the animals. “When we injected the hypothalamus stem cells to the middle-aged mice, the mice aged slowly and they could also live longer.”
But these results were just from studying mice in a laboratory. If the mice can live longer, does that mean people could have longer lives The next step is to see if the anti-aging effects also work in human beings. If so, they say the findings could lead to new ways to help doctors identify and treat age-related health problems.
12．Why does the author mention the “fountain of youth” in the first paragraph
A．To explain what the “fountain of youth” is.
B．To introduce the hypothalamus.
C．To show how to find the “fountain of youth”.
D．To help people find the “fountain of youth”.
13．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to
A．The brain. B．The aging process.
C．Hypothalamus. D．The stem cell
14．What do we know about the study done by Cai
A．They have found a way to turn back the aging process.
B．The brain controls growth, reproduction and the way we process food.
C．The decrease of hypothalamus stem cells can lead to aging.
D．The finding has been applied to human beings.
15．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage
A．The Secret of Youth
B．A New Discovery about Aging
C．The Ways of Slowing Down Aging
D．Hypothalamus — the Fountain of Youth

As far back as I can remember, the large pickle (泡菜) jar sat on the floor beside the dresser in my parents’ bedroom. When he got ready for bed, Dad would empty his pocket and toss his coins into the jar. As a small boy I was always fascinated at the sounds the coins made as they were dropped into the jar. They landed with a merry jingle to a dull thud (沉闷声) as the jar was filled. I used to kneel down on the floor in. front of the jar and admire the copper and silver circles that shone like a pirate’s treasure when the sun poured through the bedroom window.
When the jar was filled, Dad would take it to the bank. Stacked neatly in a small cardboard box, the coins were placed between Dad and me on the seat of his old truck. Each and every time, Dad would look at me hopefully. “Those coins are going to keep you put of the textile mill, son. You are going to do better than me. ” Also, each and every time, as he slid the box of rolled coins across the counter at the bank towards the cashier, he would grin proudly. “These are for my son’s college fund; He’ll never work at the mill all his life like me.”
We would always celebrate each deposit by stopping for an ice-cream cone. I always got chocolate. Dad always got vanilla. When the clerk at the ice-cream parlor handed Dad his change, he would show me the few coins nestled in his palm. “When we get home, we’ll start filling the jar again.”
He always let me drop the first coins into the empty jar. As they rattled around with a brief, happy jingle, we grinned at each other. “You’ll get to college on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters,” he said. “But you’ll get there. I’ll see to that.”
Years later, I finished college, landed a job in a big city, met my wonderful wife Susan and had our daughter Jessica.

46．One possible version:
Dear Mark,
I’m glad to know that you’re learning Chinese. It’s difficult for us to learn a new language and Chinese is by no means easy to learn. However, if you keep on learning it, I’m sure you’ll make progress.
I think the best way of learning Chinese is to use it. So after learning some new words and expressions from the Chinese books you’re reading, you’d better surround yourself with Chinese—speaking with people to practice speaking Chinese. Besides, you can keep a diary in Chinese to improve your writing skills.
I hope my advice can be helpful!
Yours,
Li Hua

47．参考范文
Once, when we visited my parents, I led Susan into the bedroom. There silently sat the old pickle jar, beside the dresser, half full. “Dad is a man of few words. He never lectures me on the values of determination, perseverance and faith.” Stroking the jar affectionately, I shared with Susan my boyhood recollections of how Dad’s pickle jar had taught me all those virtues far more eloquently than the most flowery words could have done. The picture was still vivid in my mind that Dad continued to doggedly drop his coins into the jar however rough things got in those years.
Looking at the jar with the shining coins, Susan’s eyes were misted with tears. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. She dug down into her pocket, pulled out a fistful of coins and gently placed them in my palms. Our eyes locked. I immediately knew what she meant. Choked with words, I dropped the coins into the jar and the familiar jingles rang merrily. At that very moment, Dad slipped quietly into the room, with Jessica toddling after him curiously. He grinned at us, “For Jessica.” I knew he was feeling the same emotion we felt. None of us could speak.
