Have you ever heard the song called “Is there anyone who told you”? It may be impossible for you not to know the song and its singer．It is sung by the famous “Happy Boy” Chen Chusheng， who appeared on Hunan Satellite TV．He caught everyone’s attention． Before the competition he was just a farmer’s son who had never got professional trainings of any kind． As a child， Chusheng wasn’t a good student， but he was very interested in music． He liked to listen to and sing his favorite songs again and again． Like many other parents， his parents also wanted him to go to college，but he failed．Chusheng had no choice but to help his brother repair bicycles and motorbikes．In Sanya, a small city in Hainan Province， Chen worked during the daytime while singing in different bars in the evening． He lived like that until the year 2000．

Have you ever heard of a mobile phone company called Nokia? And do you know that there’s a mobile phone throwing competition in Finland every year?
In order to recycle old mobile phones, the town of Savonlinna in southeast Finland holds a Mobile Phone Throwing Competition every year. And people can have a little fun from the games.
While competitors cannot throw their own phones, the competition organizers provide hundreds of mobiles to choose from. Then people throw as far as possible from the throwing area. Last year’s winner Ere Karjalainen set a world record with his 101.46m throw. As a prize, he got a chance of drinking and practiced again as his preferred training methods.
Those without a strong throwing arm can enter the freestyle competition. During the competition, the style of the throw are judged (判断) rather than the distance. A three-person jury (评委) gives scores from one to six, and the thrower with the highest number of points wins.
This Year’s competition will be held on August 24. Sign-ups(报名注册) are still being accepted for five dollars per person or two dollars for children 12 and under. Once all the day’s phones have been thrown, they are taken to a recycling center.

Have you ever heard your own voice? “Of course,” you say. Has anyone else ever heard your voice? Again you say, “Of course.”But that’s not quite true. Nobody else has ever heard your voice—the way you hear it. When you talk, you set up sound waves(声波). The air outside your head carries the sound waves to your outer ears. But, of course, the sound of your voice begins inside your head. The bones(骨头) of your head pick up the sound waves, too. They carry the sound waves straight to your inner(里面的) ears. You get the sound from the outside and the inside too. Other people get just the sound waves from the outside. That’s why they don’t hear your voice the way you do.
1.The sound of your voice begins ________.
A. inside your head B. outside your head
C. in your inner ears D. in your outer ears

Have you ever heard of the expression “birdbrain”? People use it to talk about someone who is stupid, but crows(乌鸦) show that this is unfair. Now it has been discovered that crows may understand analogies (类推法).
It was once thought that only humans could understand analogies, which help us to solve problems creatively.
To test this ability in animals, scientists do RMTS tests. If a pair was AA, for example, picking BB to match it would be correct. If the pair was CD, however, then EF would be correct.
Monkeys have learned RMTS, but scientists wanted to know if crows could do it, too. An international team led by Edward Wasserman from the US first trained two crows to match things by color, shape and number in what is called IMTS, then moved onto RMTS.
For the IMTS test, the birds were put in a cage with a plate that had three cards and two cups in it. The card in the middle was the sample (样本), while the other wasn’t. The cup with the card that matched the sample card had some food to eat.
In the second part of the experiment, the birds were tested with RMTS tests. A card with two same-sized circles, for example, meant they should pick the test card with two same-sized squares and not two different-sized circles (圆). The birds did well in the more difficult test and picked the correct card more than three quarters of the time, Science News reports.
Wasserman was surprised that crows were able to solve the problem without any training in RMTS. “What the crows have done is surprising,” he said.
So perhaps it’s time to stop saying “birdbrain” for good.
1.In the opening paragraph, the writer used “birdbrain” to .
A. teach people how to use this expression
B. introduce a famous scientist Edward Wasserman
C. introduce recent findings about crows’ intelligence (智力)
D. get readers interested in the background of the expression
2.The underlined phrase “this ability” in the 3rd paragraph refers to .
A. the ability to play cards
B. the ability to find food to eat
C. the ability to understand analogies
D. the ability to pick the test card
3.In the RMTS test, if the birds were given the sample like this
, which card should they pick?
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
4.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. Monkeys understand analogies.
B. Crows show how clever they are.
C. Crows did well in RMTS.
D. Monkeys are cleverer than crows.
