had one big ambition to play the drums in a band But one big obstacle lay in her way To be good enough to play in a band Brenda had to practice a lot but she lived next door to a lot of old people Many of them are sick She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves So she had tried playing in the strangest places a basement a kitchen and even in a shower But there was always someone it would annoy One day while watching a science documentary on TV she heard that sound cannot travel in space because there s no air At that moment Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut With the help of a lot of time books and work Brenda built a space bubble This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside All that would be left inside was a drum kit 成套设备 and a chair Brenda got into the space suit she had made entered the bubble turned on the machine and played those drums like a wild child It wasn t long before Brenda Bongos came very famous Many people came to see her play in her space bubble Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts Her fame spread so much that the

older people shrink we don t mean they become tiny enough to fit in your pocket We just mean that it s common for older people to become a little shorter over time This kind of shrinking can t be reversed although people can slow or stop this process But why does shrinking happen at all Because of gravity that force that keeps your feet on the ground cushions between the bones in the spine 脊骨 get compressed 压缩 which makes a person lose a little height and become shorter Another reason why some older people shrink is because of osteoporosis 骨 质疏松 Osteoporosis occurs when bone is broken down and not enough new bone material is made Over time bone is said to be lost because it s not being replaced Bones become smaller and weaker and can easily break if someone with osteoporosis is injured Older people especially women who generally have smaller and lighter bones to begin with are more likely to develop osteoporosis As years go by a person with osteoporosis can get small breaks in bones that are called compression fractures These breaks cause collapse of the spine and over time the person with osteoporosis can become hunched over 驼背 Did you know that every day you shrink a little too You aren t as tall at the end of the day as you are at the beginning That s because as the day goes on water in the disks of the spine gets compressed due to gravity making you just a tiny bit shorter Don t worry though Once you get a good night s rest your body recovers and the next morning you re standing tall again Smoking and drinking alcohol can make this problem worse Want to do something right now to build strong bones I believe what I will say will help you 61 Which of the following statements is true A For shrinking people can do nothing about it B If someone is injured he will become shorter C Women have smaller and lighter bones than men D We aren t as tall at the end of the day as we are at the beginning 用心 爱心 专心6 62 What should we do if we don t want to shrink faster A

the passage A How can we stop shrinking B Why do we shrink C Some tips on how to keep tall D How to live a healthy life 64 About osteoporosis we know that A gravity is one of the causes of osteoporosis B once our bone is broken down osteoporosis will occur C women are more likely to develop osteoporosis D if we develop osteoporosis we are more likely to be shorter 65 What will the author talk about in the paragraph to be followed A Tell us how to grow taller B Tell us how to become healthier C Tell us how to avoid being shrinking D Tell us what to do to have strong bones C Going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us But now a pair of social X Ray glasses promises to tell you exactly what the other person is thinking and when you should stop talking The glasses have a built in camera which monitors the other person s facial expressions and matches them up with 24 known features which convey emotions It will then tell the individual via an earpiece and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking In a traffic light style system a red light means negative yellow means they are a bit interested and green means your date is happy The glasses are under development at present by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology s Media Lab 用心 爱心 专心7 They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an extra sense that they are bored or losing interest The eyewear was developed for people suffering from autism 孤独症 who have much difficulty interacting with others but now the team behind it has seen wider applications It works thanks to a camera the size of a grain of rice which is put into the glasses frame and connected via a wire to a small computer which can be attached to the user s body The camera monitors how long and how often 24 feature points appear on the subject s faces which are then analyzed by software developed by the MIT team This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer what is going on via the earpiece and the traffic light system So far the glasses are still a job in progress and have been accurate just 64 per cent of the time a figure which is expected to improve with further tests 66 The passage mainly tells us that A going on a date can be a nightmare for the best of us B scientists are showing more and more concern to people suffering from autism C the glasses will be more and more popular D the scientists are working on a new type of glasses to help people going on a date 67 Which of the following is

glasses is of great importance D People wearing the glasses are sure to have a good date 68 The underlined word interacting in Paragraph 4 can be replaced by A communicatingB reactingC affectingD

international students to further their education in the country The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education Skills Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid 2012 As a result the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified and the deposit 押金 required to study in Australia has been reduced Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased Also overseas students receiving a higher education in Australia will be granted a working visa lasting from two to four years after graduation as long as they meet the basic IELTS requirement This change will definitely make Australia a more attractive destination for Chinese students planning to study overseas says Wang Lan a consultant from Education International Cooperation Group EIC a Beijing based company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas However in the past few years many of Wang s student clients 客户 could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the language requirements visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough The change in policy is good news for the
