presidential elections held on Oct 9 across Afghanistan and in Iran and Pakistan This is the first time that such an incident has taken place in the Afghan capital over the last 北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司 three years So far no one has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping However remnants 残余势力 of the former Taliban regime who failed to stop the great presidential elections have promised to continue holy

would you like to sleep with one half your brain asleep and the other half awake 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 北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司 from the open eye showed a state between fully awake and asleep 71 It was discovered that A most people would like to be half asleep B ducks can sleep half awake C dolphins sleep on their way D ducks have different sleeping habits from each other 72 A predator is most likely to be A an animal that hunts kills and eats other animals B a human being who looks after and feeds ducks C a scientist who does research work on animals D an animal that is likely to be friends with ducks 73 Ducks at the end of each row sleep with one eye open because A they are looking for food B they want to enjoy the scenery C they are watching out for danger D they are unique in their sleeping habit 74 How many ducks were used in the experiment A Four B Eight C Twelve D Sixteen 75 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 C Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool In high school I wanted to be an electrical engineer and of course any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment But that s not what I did I chose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university that doesn t even offer a major in electrical engineering Obviously this was not a practical choice I came here for more noble reasons I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren t studying science or engineering My parents teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years and I believed them I headed off to college Sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineering factories where they didn t care if you had values or were flexible I was going to be a complete engineer technical genius and sensitive humanist all in one Now I am not so sure Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality as all noble ideals eventually do After three years of struggling to balance math physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile 调和 engineering with liberal arts courses in college The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is that 北京天梯志鸿教育科技有限责任公司 engineering and the liberal arts simply don t mix as easily as I assumed in high school Individually they shape a person in very different ways together they threaten to confuse The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult 76 Why did the author choose to study engineering at a small liberal arts university A He wants to be an example of practicality and rationality B He intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist C He wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal arts courses in college D He intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals 77 The author s experience shows that he was A passive B ambitious C unrealisticD foolish 78 According to the author by interacting with people who study liberal arts engineering students can A become noble idealists B receive guidance in their careers C balance engineering and liberal arts D broaden their knowledge 79 We can learn from the passage that A Liberal arts students are supposed to take engineering courses B The writer has much difficulty in realizing his goal C Technical experts with a wide vision are not expected at all D Engineering students are more important than liberal arts students 80 The author would agree that a successful engineering student is expected to be A excellent in academic records B wise and mature C imaginative with a value system to guide them D a technical genius with a wide vision D The way people hold to the
