It is the ability to recognize a change in number. Human beings are born with this ability. _, experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest (巢) has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will notice. However, if you remove two, the bird generally leaves. This means that the bird _the difference between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a birds_number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not_ until the man left the tower. The man had an idea. He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they werent successful in fooling the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was_with three men and then with four men. It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they finally managed to take a photo.How good is a humans number sense? Its not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old_ notice if something is taken away from a small group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are often very confused.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human ability is not much better than a crows.11 .

However, some programs are good and we can learn many things from them. Here are a few of my favorite programs.Blue PeterAs a child，this was the only program I could watch. I watched it three times a week. You can learn about different countries around the world from it. As the show is for children, the language in it is easy.The Great British Bake OffThis show is about making bread, cakes and so on. The show wants to find Britains best amateur baker (业余烘培师).You can watch the show to get some ideas of new things to try baking and you can always find the recipes online.Frozen PlanetThis one is about life in cold places. There are many special animals on this show. I love this show not because of the cute animals, but because it teaches us about the impact we have on these animals and what we need to do to save them. PointlessThis show is great for making you think. It is a quiz (知识竞赛) show. It may be about sports, weather, movies and so on. I learnt lots of things from this show. 17 .

If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.22 . According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more _.Aanxious to do wondersBsensitive to others feelingsClikely to develop unpleasant habitsDeager to explore the world around them23 . The bird watchers behavior shows that they _.Acare only about the names of birdsBare really attracted by natureCare very patient in their observationDquestion the serving of the field guides24 . The underlined phrase “bend on” in Paragraph 5 probably means “_”ATake no notice ofBfocus onCcome up withDcatch up with25 . In the passage, the author wants to tell us we should _.Aopen our mind to new things and ideasBget rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeCfill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldDtry our best to protect nature根据短文内容，选择正确答案。The trouble started when Mrs. Cady lost control of her car on a mountain road.
