Arkansas officials concluded on Monday Some 5 000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in Beebe Arkansas after dark on New Year s Eve The birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage 大量出血 and death There was no sign of infectious disease the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission said in a statement The birds were otherwise healthy it said One theory is that birds were frightened by New Year s fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects Loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky the statement said adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night Another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area We re leaning more toward a stress event said Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman Keith Stephens The commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100 000 fish over a 20 mile stretch of the Arkansas River near a dam in Ozark 125 miles west of Beebe The fish were discovered on December 30 Stephens said the commission expected results on the fish

understand what it is to move said David Belle the founder of parkour 跑酷 Do you love running It is a good exercise yet many people find it boring But what if making your morning jog a creative one Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way It is just because of Bond s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide Yes that s parkour an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body Parkour is considered an extreme sport As its participants dash around a city they may jump over fences run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds but its participants see parkour much more than that Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy 理念 behind parkour This is the same as life You must determine your destination go straight jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life to reach the destination successfully A parkour lover said I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life my way to do everything Another philosophy we ve learnt

research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize Kristy vanMarle professor of the University of Missouri has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown infants 婴儿 are able to quantify substances 物质 like sand or water as early as 10 months As long as the difference between the two substances is large enough infants will choose the larger amount especially when it comes to food With the assistance of her team researchers vanMarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups one containing a small amount of food and one containing a larger amount Consistently the babies chose the larger amount Several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see however infants don t seem to count things like water or sand vanMarle said What we re saying is that they can quantify substances it s just much harder The infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories They decide which amount is larger and they almost always select the larger one This information further refutes 驳斥 the long held idea that babies know nothing of the world vanMarle said Since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures we ve discovered a lot of early abilities I think for parents it should be exciting to know that there s somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world and that knowledge is guiding their development vanMarle said In the future vanMarle says this kind of study could be linked to a child s progress in math related skills although programs marketed to increase those abilities such as Baby Einstein still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study 49 The quantifying ability refers to the ability to A choose between different substances B get much knowledge of the world C describe the quantity of something D obtain math related skills 50 What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 4 A The process of doing research B The scientific findings C The final choice of infants 7 D The observation of infants behavior 51 Babies choose the larger amount of food A by saying numbersB with the help of parents C on personal preferenceD through their natural abilities 52 We can learn from the text that A some parents don t care about their kids B people used to think the world is known to babies C little research has been done on infants D scholars disagree on baby training programs 53 What s the best title of the text A Breakthrough in Baby Studies B Amazing Baby training Ideas C Early Human Abilities D Unique Quantifying Methods My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents tomb in the churchyard Hold your noise came a terrible voice as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church Keep still you little devil 小鬼 or I ll cut your throat A fearful man all in coarse grey with a great iron on his leg A man with no hat and with broken shoes and with an old rag tied round his head He seized me by the chin 下巴 Tell us your name said the man Quick Pip sir Show us where you live said the man Point out the place I pointed to where our village lay on the flat in shore among the alder
