Humans and gorillas shared evolution for 23 million years. Their paths separated only six million years ago. Research on how gorillas communicate can help us understand human language development.
Understanding how the brain works helps us see a connection between language development and non-verbal signs. These signs or movements include things like the way we move our hands or bodies or the different expressions our faces have in different social situations. A new study on gorillas showed that the right side of the body is controlled by the left part of the brain and it is also the location for language development.
Two cameras were used to film all of one ape’s movements. One of the first results was that gorillas use their right hands more when they are doing actions with their heads or mouths at the same time. This shows that there is a connection between how our brain works and the reason we use one side of our body more than the other. In addition, we can use the results of the study and our knowledge about brains to help us understand more about how language first developed in humans.
Dr Forrester, who did the study, says the results can be useful in other ways, such as understanding language development in children. For example, some children have serious illness called “autism” which can stop them communicating normally with people. It might be possible to use the same study method to find out which children have this illness when they are very young. Doctors will then be able to start treatment early.
1.Which of the following may have a connection with right-handedness?
A.Communication. B.Intelligence.
C.Social position. D.Social success.
2.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A.The right side of the body. B.The mouth.
C.The left part of the brain. D.The front part of the head.
3.Who might benefit most from the results of the study?
A.Photographers of gorillas. B.Zoo keepers.
C.Researchers on movement. D.Children with illness.
4.We can infer from the text that gorillas ___________.
A.prefer to use the right hand instead of the left hand
B.have a complex form of non-verbal communication
C.help us better develop our language abilities
D.share the same body language with humans

When most of us look at our hands, we might notice that we need to clean, or stop biting our fingernails, and that’s about it. But if you ask a doctor, he can see a whole lot more. Everything from poor diet and stress to serious kidney (肾) problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.
There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues, though may indicate more than one problem, according to Dr.Amy Derick, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.
Here are five of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.
1. People who aren’t eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails, which are more likely to break.
2.Horizontal (水平的) lines are associated with serious physical stress. They frequently occur in people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses, injuries, or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly, there may be an altitude connection too. They’ve also been found in people who dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.
3. Vertical （垂直的）lines, however, are generally not such a big deal. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others, but they’re commonly associated with aging.
4. When people lack iron, their nails can turn spoon-like. Instead of curving down and covering the finger normally, they ’ll start to rise up on the sides and front, like the part of a spoon that holds liquid.
5. Kidney and liver problems can create “half-and-half nails”, where one part of the nail is white and the other part dark or pink, according to Derick.
Doctors note that because disease diagnosis is complex and some symptoms can be associated with different diseases, you should always see a medical professional if you are concerned about something you notice.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Doctors can tell us something about our health by looking at our nails.
B. We should see a doctor if we find nails in bad condition.
C. A famous doctor in the USA conducted an interesting research.
D. If we don’t want to get ill, we need to clean and stop biting our fingernails.
2. If we don’t eat well or regularly, our fingernails may ________.
A. become harder than normal nails.
B. become thinner than normal nails.
C. become “half-and-half” nails.
D. have horizontal and vertical lines.
3.Who will have horizontal lines on the nails ?
A. A cancer patient who has received normal treatment.
B. Hungry African children suffering from severe malnourishment.
C. An explorer who had reached Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province.
D. A patient with serious illness, like kidney and liver problems.
4. Which of the following best describes the nails that show people lack iron?
A. The nails are thinner and more likely to break.
B. The nails will curve down and cover the fingers.
C. The nails will start to rise up on the sides and front.
D. The nails will change their colours on the surface.

Effective Communication With Parents
This book explains how school leaders can become successful communicators with teachers and parents。
The effective approaches to communicating with parents in the book are: Listen, Apologize, Solve, and Thank. 1. It can be a challenge to listen quietly when being attacked or when wrong information is being shared, but listening quietly without interruption is the most important.
2. Many people struggle with making apologies- especially when they feel they've done nothing wrong. But remember, we are not necessarily apologizing for our actions, but rather because of how the parent feels or what happened. For example, "I'm sorry this happened" or "I'm sorry you feel that way.”
Listening and apologizing are the two hardest steps to a successful meeting with a dissatisfied parent. 3.However, they set the tone for the final two steps of offering a solution and thanking the parent for their time.
4.More importantly, LAST helps to avoid the disadvantages of becoming defensive, and damaging your partnership with the parent.
Parent-teacher conferences can be difficult when there are agendas on either side that are not known. 5. They should try to focus on where the student is academically, and what the child and parents can do to help the situation.
A.These steps can feel unpleasant.
B.Choose your words carefully and thoughtfully.
C.After listening, I encourage teachers to apologize.
D.When communicating with a parent, it is important to listen quietly.
E.Give parents an opportunity to say what they want the teacher to know.
F.One thing teachers should know is to make sure the conference is student-centered.
G.When you follow these four steps, any parent-teacher conference can be successful.

We automatically assume that as adults, we’re wiser than when we were children. However, actually we can learn a lot from our childhood self. For example, we can learn to develop optimism about the future. Do you remember how excited you used to be just before Christmas? 1. Reintroduce that childlike wonder into our daily experiences.
We can learn to dream big and imagine the impossible. How often have you heard a child say something like “One day, I’m going to be an astronaut”? Our adult minds immediately laugh at this idea and think about all the logical reasons as to why this might never happen. 2. We minimize our chances of attaining what we dream about. It is okay to dream big just as our childhood self did.
3. Our childhood self looked at possibilities and believed we could achieve them successfully. If we wanted to build a tree house, we’d go about thinking about how to make it happen instead of focusing on all the reasons it might not happen. In this way we can fill our life with possibilities rather than regrets.
We can learn to be playful and silly sometimes, 4. Children spend a large amount of time escaping from reality to mess about and have fun. Make time for your childhood self to come out and play. Run around the garden, wear a silly hat or spend time laughing. 5..
A.Don’t imagine things could go wrong.
B.We can learn to hold a “can do” attitude.
C.That feeling of great joy is hard to beat.
D.Most children tend to think in a positive way.
E.All of these activities can make us feel happy and alive.
F.We employ self-limiting beliefs without even realizing it.
G.All work and no play makes a person very dull and upset.

You try to keep your eyes wide open while watching a basketball match or a wonderful firework show in case you might miss something exciting in just the blink (眨眼睛) of an eye. But in fact, humans blink about 15 times per minute on average. Have you ever missed anything because you blinked? Probably not. Why is that?
According to a new study published in the journal Current Biology in September, our brain has the ability to skip the temporary darkness when we blink. It can keep visual information for a short period of time and then put it together to form an image without interruption.
In order to understand how this works, a group of scientists at the German Primate Center and the University Medical Center Gottingen in Germany conducted an experiment. In the study, the participants were asked to look at patterns on a screen whose direction could be shown in different ways, such as horizontally or vertically (垂直地). When one pattern was about to disappear and the next one was about to come, the participants had to indicate the direction that the next pattern would appear.
The researchers found that when the directions of two patterns didn’t match, the area in our brain which is responsible for visual memory was activated. This same area showed less activity when two patterns were in the same direction.
“The medial prefrontal cortex (前额叶皮层) adjusts current visual information with previously obtained information, and thus enables us to sense the world with more stability, even when we briefly close our eyes to blink，” Caspar Schwiedrzik explained in Science Daily. He is the first author of the study and also a scientist at the German Primate Center.
1.We don’t miss anything when blinking because our brain can ________.
A.remember all that we see B.deal with the missing image
C.imagine what our eyes miss D.recognize our pieces of memory
2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Visual information. B.Our brain.
C.Current Biology. D.The temporary darkness.
3.What do we know about the experiment?
A.The different directions activated visual memory.
B.Visual memory can be more activated by similarity.
C.Participants can interpret patterns differently.
D.The two patterns appear at the same time.
4.The passage is mainly talking about ________.
A.the brain’s structure B.the brain’s special skill
C.the brain’s activated patterns D.the brain’s directions

In a study recently published in the journal Neuron, researchers found that super memorizers don’t have unusually large brain regions that allow them to remember a lot of information. 1. Here are a few of their favorite tricks that can help you to remember things in your everyday life.
To Remember: New words
Technique: Change routine
In a study, a group of students studied a list of words in two separate sessions. Some studied in a messy room ant some in a neat space. One group of students spent both sessions in the same room, while the other split the sessions between the two environments. During a test, the students who studied in multiple places remembered much more. 2. That includes the time of day, the music in the background, whether you sit or stand, etc.
To Remember: Your PIN
Technique: Count it out
You could use your birthday, or your phone number, but identity thieves have a way of figuring those numbers out. 3. Write a four- wort sentence. Then count the number of letters in each word. For instance, “This is my PIN” =4223.
To Remember: Faces
Technique: Focus on noses
White some super memorizes specialize in associating names with faces, the memory-palace technique doesn’t work as well if the image of the face is changed in any way. Rather than focusing on eyes, as most people do, focus on the centre or to the left of a person’s nose. 4.
To Remember: Facts & figures
Technique: 5.
To learn and remember statistics, reviewing the material repeatedly over a longer time is far more effective than repeating it in a shorter one. If your exam is in a week, study today and then again in a day or two. If it’s a month away, study today and then wait a week before your second session.
A.value exams
B.Give yourself time
C.This allows you to take in their whole face.
D.Their brain structures are in fact the same as the rest of ours.
E.Instead, try this tip from Dominic, an eight-time World Memory Champion.
F.The theory is that your brain links the words to the environment around you.
G.Studies showed that varying other aspects of your environment can also help.

For most of us, the rain that falls on our roof runs off into the ground or the sewer(下水道) system. But if you want to save a little water and reuse it on your lawns or plants --- or even use it for laundry, dishes, or other needs --- collecting rainwater from your gutter’s downspouts(檐槽的水落管) is a no-brainer.
According to John C. Davis, writing in E / The Environmental Magazine, just about any homeowner can collect rainwater, given that the roof and gutters do most of the work. And since an inch of rain falling on a 2,000-square-foot roof produces some 1,200 gallons of water, you can harvest enough to water your lawn or garden.
Plants and grass actually do better when fed rainwater instead of tap water, which is usually treated with substances that can hold back plant growth. Using rainwater can also extend the life of pipes, since the salts added to tap water may gradually damage the pipes. However, homeowners should set up a water purification system if they do plan to use rainwater for inside needs.
Rainwater harvesting can also be good for the local community, as it reduces the erosion, flooding, and pollution associated with heavy rainfall, and reduces dependence on public water supplies. So some states fund rainwater collection systems in their local communities.
Many varieties of rain barrel(桶) systems, starting at just $100, are available for home use. A typical setup is simply a rain barrel positioned under a gutter’s downspout. Skillful homeowners can make their own water harvesting systems, but buying one is a lot easier. Most garden centres offer a range of choices as well as tips.
1.The underlined word “no-brainer” in Para. 1 probably means something that ______.
A．is hard to deal with B．is very easy
C．is of no real value D．deserves more attention
2.From Paragraphs 3 and 4, we can learn _______.
A．how to set up a water harvesting system B．how a rain barrel system works
C．some advice on saving tap water D．the benefits of using rainwater
3.What is the topic of the passage ?
A．Basic gardening skills. B．Water-saving techniques.
C．Wastewater treatment systems. D．Roof rainwater collection.
