Dolphins sleep this way. Recently, scientists at Indiana State University have discovered that ducks sleep this way too. They found that ducks sleep half awake so they can rest and watch for danger at the same time.After putting their ducks in a row and videotaping them, some researchers found ducks on the end of each row spent more time asleep with one eye open, apparently looking for predators.“The more the ducks felt threatened, the more they slept with one eye open,” said lead author Niels C. Rattenborg, a graduate student at Indiana State University,Terre Haute.”the unique aspect is not that they do it,but that they control it. When they sleep at the edge of a group,they tend to realize greater danger, so they spend more time sleeping with one half of their brain.” Ducks with one eye open were still awake enough to detect predators, said the authors of the study, which appears today in the journal Nature.The researchers studied four groups of four ducks held in plastic boxes, which were arranged in a row. Ducks on the end were found to sleep with one eye open 31.8 per cent of the time, compared to 12.4 percent of the time for ducks in the central position.Also, ducks in the central position did not open one eye more than the others, while ducks on each end kept the eye facing away from the group open 86.2 per cent of the time. Brain wave readings of the ducks showed that the half of the brain receiving signals from the closed eye indicated that half of the brain was sleeping. Signals from the half of the brain receiving signals from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep.60. It was discovered that .A. most people would like to be half asleepB. ducks can sleep half awakeC. dolphins sleep on their wayD. ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 61. A predator is most likely to be .A. an animal that hunts,kills and eats other animalsB. a human being who looks after and feeds ducksC. a scientist who does research work on animalsD. an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 62. Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because .A. they are looking for foodB. they want to enjoy the sceneryC. they are watching out for dangerD. they are unique in their sleeping habit 63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Ducks on the northern end of a row would keep their eye facing the south open.B. Ducks with less sense of duty usually choose to stay in the center of a row.C. Ducks with one eye open at the edge can still enjoy a certain degree of sleep.D. A video tape recorder was the only electronic device used in the experiment. CIn the age of reality television, success isnt the only way to the public eye. Failure can also create fame, just like William Hung, 21, a native of Hong Kong.Hung recently has made an agreement with US-based entertainment firms Koch Records and Fuse Music Network. They will publish a full-length record, titled “The True Idol” on April 6.The idol (偶像) is a civil engineering student at the University of California at Berkeley. He did a version (改写本) of Ricky Martins “She Bangs” on the television show “American Idol 3, on January 27. The Fox TV singing contest searches for pop stars among ordinary people. In the case of Hung, however, his act was so bad that the judges cut him off in mid-act. Hungs response? “I already gave my best, so I have no regrets at all.” Thats interesting, because any common person would have found plenty to regret: the off-key singing, the blue Hawaiian shirt worn with pants pulled up too high, the terrible dancing, the hips jerking (摇摆) to a beat that did not belong to the song, maybe not even to this planet. It was, by all accounts, bad.But it was this very bad act that sold well.Marc Juris, president of Fuse, explained it this way: “Every one of us is happily guilty of singing our favorite song at the top of our lungs with complete freedom, completely off-key and completely unworried. Thats what William did and immediately won the hearts of America.”Whatever it is, for the moment its big. Three websites devoted to Hung have gone up on the Internet in the past few weeks. Versions of his performance have been remixed with hip hop and techno music and have made it to the top 10 request list at a Chicago radio station.So, what does Hung think of this?“There were all these people saying things about me. A lot were saying I was very courageous and that I was great on the show, but some didnt have much respect for me and some were kind of mean.”Now he says hes not so sure whether to distance himself from the glamour (魅力) or to accept it. Returning to normal hasnt been easy.64. Hung was popular in American for all the following reasons EXCEPT .A. his shirt and pantsB. his off-key singingC. his jerking hips D. his excellent version 65. Which of the following shows the correct order of what happened to Hung?a. The entertainment firms made an agreement with Hung.b. The judges cut Hung off in mid-act in the singing contest. c. Hung became popular among Americans.d. Hung gave a terrible performance though he tried his best.e. Three websites put Hungs funny performance on the Internet.A. d, b, e, c, a B. a, c, d, b, e C. a, d, b, c, eD. d, b, a, e, c 66. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sometimes an idol behaves quite foolishly. B. Hungs performance attracted the public eye.C. How an unsuccessful person became famous. D. Success sometimes does not require hard work. 67. Why was Hung able to win the hearts of America?A. His success was based on luck rather than his own hard work.B. He attracted peoples attention and won wide praise in the contest.C. He was good-looking in his pants and shirt though he didnt sing well.D. In the contest he did what every one of us is happy to do in daily life. DIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advan
