And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flouri

12、shed on this planet, with their beauty evolving in recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a

13、 second bunch when the others got theirs. By now you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfactio

14、n. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of the domesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遗传学家) Terry McGuire suggest

15、s that natures prettier flowers got to survive and develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They a

16、re the pets of the plant world.” McGuire says.Here is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might

17、 have been tolerated because of their beauty. The seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bun

There are some other important ways we shape our kidsparticularly by giving instructions and

21、commands in a negative or positive choice of words. For example, we can say to a child “Dont run into traffic!” or “Stay on the footpath close to me.” In using the latter, you will be helping your kids to think and act positively, and to feel competent in a wide range of situation, because they know

22、 what to do, and arent scaring themselves about what not to do.Actually, it is all in the way the human mind works. What we think, we automatically rehearse. For example, if someone offered you a million dollars not to think of a blue monkey for two minutes, you wouldnt be able to do it. When a chil

23、d is told “Dont fall off the tree,” he will think of two things: “dont” and “fall off the tree”. That is, he will automatically create the picture of falling off the tree in his mind. A child who is vividly imagining falling off the tree is much more likely to fall off. So it is far better to use “H

24、old on to the tree carefully.”Clearly, positive instructions help kids to understand the right way to do things. Kids do not always know how to be safe, or how to react to the warning of the danger in negative words. So parents should make their commands positive. “Sam, hold on firm to the side of t

25、he boat” is much more useful than “Dont you dare to fall out of the boat?” or worse still “How do you think Ill feel if you drown?” The changes are small but difference is obvious.Children learn how to guide and organize themselves from the way we guide them with our words, so it pays to be positive

26、.1、Positive choice of words helps kids to _.Ado things carefully Blearn in different situationsCimprove their imagination Dbuild up their confidence2、What can we infer from Paragraph 2?AOne cant help imagining what is heard.BA child will act on what is instructed.CA child will fall off the tree when

27、 told not to.DOne wont think of a blue monkey when given money.3、Which of the following commands helps kids to be safe?AFasten your seat belt.BDont play by the lake.CHow do you think Ill feel if you get hurt?DDont you dare to walk through the red light?4、The main idea of the passage is that _.Aprais

It will be the first ever attempt to tackle the patch since it was discovered in 1997.Mr. Slat was 16 and still

31、 at school when he was diving in Greece and first saw for himself the amount of plastic polluting the sea. “There were more bags than fish down there,” he recalls. Two years later he came up with a solution, quit university after six months and set up The Ocean Cleanup as a company. Mr. Slat, 23, sa

32、ys the first plastic to arrive on shore will be a major milestone. “We as a humanity created this problem, so I think its our responsibility also to help solve it,” he said.The Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) spans 617,763 sq miles - more than twice the size of France, and contains at least 79,00

33、0 tons of plastic, research found last month. Most of it is made up of “ghost gear” parts of abandoned and lost fishing gear, such as nets and ropes often from illegal fishing vessels.Ghost gear kills more than 100,000 whales, dolphins and seals each year, according to scientific surveys. Seabirds a

38、st youngster, who composed her first musical work at age six, first short opera at age seven, and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten, is anything but average. Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent, young Alma is being described as “little Mozart” by the music world

39、Almas operatic take on the classic fairy tale, which she began writing at age eight, has a slight twist.

But all children have to work hard for exams, and at least when I work hard, I work hard for something incredibly excitin

42、g, like seeing my whole opera put on stage.Almas musical talent first came to light before she could even talk. Her parents recall that as an 18-month-old toddler, she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the childrens rhymeTwinkle Twinkle Little Star.However, Almas abilities only gained inter

43、national attention in 2012, after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart. The family was suddenly swamped with media requested and Alma became an overnight star, dubbed “little Mozart”. This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the

44、young girl. They would instead prefer her to be called “a composer and musician”.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either, saying, “There was only one Mozart, and I prefer to be little Alma.” Regardless of what she calls herself, the twelve-year-old is changing the world of musi
