Instead of wasting my days sitting around painfully, I began to put my 42 into local community service projects.

Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink taste sweeter by simply changing the colour of their cups. Scientists believe that blue and glass mugs, which are popular in some coffee shops, reduce a coffees bitterness, without any need for sugar. Researchers from Federation University Australia and the University of Oxford set out to prove whether a coffee servers wordsthat coffee drunk from white cups tastes bitterwere true. They used 36 volunteers and three different coloured cupsblue, white and transparent(透明的)glassto do experiments. In one experiment, the white mug increased the degree of the coffee flavor(味道)relative to the transparent mug, according to the study published in the journal Flavour. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other coloured mugs. While the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest. The scientists believe that the colour brown may be connected with bitterness so that coffee in a white cup appears the brownest. Our study clearly shows that the colour of a mug does influence the taste and flavour of coffee, lead author Dr. George Doorn of Federation University Australia, wrote in an article for The Conversation. The effect of the colour of the mug on the flavour of the coffee reported here suggests that caf owners as well as cup makers should carefully consider the colour of their mugs, he said. The potential(潜在的)effects may cause the difference between a one-time drinking and a return customer. The idea that colour can change the taste of food and drink is not new. A study published last year showed that red, strawberry-flavoured cake served on a white plate was considered as 10 percent sweeter and 15 percent tastier than the same food on a black plate.48. What colour can help reduce the bitterness of coffee most? A. White. B. Brown. C. Black. D. Blue.49. Which of the following is true according to the passage? A. Coffee fans may put in less sugar when drinking from white cups. B. Coffee in transparent mugs tastes less bitter than that in white ones. C. The taste of coffee can only be influenced by the colour of white. D. The taste of food may become less sweet because of white plates.50. What is the best title for the passage? A. Colour Changes Taste B. Say No to White Mugs C. Colours of Coffee Cups D. The Power of WhiteC Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the worldJapan, Los Angeles, Turkeyrats will soon be mans new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs(搜救犬).Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they cant get into small spaces. So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rats brain give: a signal(信号).This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rats brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says, Robots noses dont work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that. Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they dont need electricity! The rat project is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says, It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldnt get to, and a rat would get out if it wasnt safe. Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course.)51. From Paragraph 3, we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by . A. the jumps made by the rat B. the strange behaviour of the rat C. the radio signals from the rat D. the smell given off by the person52. Rats have all the following good points EXCEPT that . A. they are more fantastic than other animals B. they are less expensive to train than dogs C. they dont need electricity to do the work D. they are small and can get into small places53. After reading the passage, we know . A. rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for people B. the rat project has been completed so far C. people are happy to see a rat in a building D. people still use dogs and robots in performing rescuesD I had no idea that I had a gift for singing until one day when I was seven. I sang One Moment in Time for my music teacher at school, and she got excited. That blew my mind! she said. She couldnt believe my parents hadnt entered me in Star Search. Both of my parents are deaf. People think that must have been hard for me, but growing up in a deaf family has some advantages(优势).At a young age, I was comfortable around adults, since I often interpreted(翻译)for my parents when they meet with doctors, lawyers and other people. I went to college on an acting scholarship(奖学金).I truly believe my acting ability started out of necessity(必要). Since my parents couldnt hear my voice, I had to communicate with them with my body language and facial expressions. But it really hit me that my parents would never be able to hear my voice. When I was singing, sometimes my mother put her hand on my throat to feel the vibration(振动).I realized that was all she could do and that was enough for her. When we did our American Idol live tour, deaf fans showed up at the concerts and gave me the I love you sign from the audience. I felt honored to help bring the deaf community into the world of music.My parents support me and believe in me so much on my road to success, even though they will never be able to hear me sing. Sometimes I dream that one day, by some miracle, I could pick up the phone and say I love you to them without an interpreter in the middle.54.
