8、e United States and Japan the land in national parks is government-owned and the management of these parks is decided by government policy. Activities such as housing or industry within the parks are discouraged. In Britain, national parks are quite different. Parks such as the Lake District, Dart M

9、oor and Exmore include towns and villages where large numbers of people live. Much of the land in these national parks is privately owned, but there are strict controls on its use, and on the appearance of the landscape and buildings, some of which (including whole villages) are heritage items. This

10、 style of national park is well suited to the scenic areas of Britain where human influences such as houses, farms and fields are part of the beauty, and combine with natural scenery to produce an overall attractiveness. In Africa and Southern Asia, large national parks have been set up to preserve

11、animals in particular.

13、3 of his or her lifetime sleeping. Imagine how much people could accomplish if they spent less time sleeping. For many high school students, getting enough rest is not a priority. A National Sleep Foundation survey confirms that teens are staying up too late at night, usually getting 7 hours of slee

14、p instead of the recommended 9 hours. Although teenagers internal clocks are partially to blame for not sleeping earlier, many students lose sleep because of school. Schools should allow students ample time for sleep, taking jobs, sports, and other extracurricular activities into consideration. Stud

15、ents who are extremely busy and lose sleep as a result should not have to drop their activities in order to get more rest.

The Sun is so much hotter than the Earth that matter can exist only as a gas, except at the core. In the core of the Sun, th

18、e pressures are so great against the gases that, despite the high temperature, there may be a solid core. However, no one really knows, since the center of the Sun can never be directly observed. Solar astronomers do know that the Sun is divided into five layers or zones. Starting at the outside and

19、 going down into the Sun, the zones are the corona, chromo sphere, photosphere, convection zone, and finally the core. The first three zones are regarded as the Suns atmosphere. But since the Sun has no solid surface, it is hard to tell where the atmosphere ends and the main body of the Sun begins.,

21、课件,Stuttering is caused by poor connections between two areas in the left hemisphere of the brain, German researchers said recently. Although scientists knew that stuttering the involuntary repetition of consonants, sounds or words had a genetic link, how and why it occurs has remained a mystery. Ge

22、rman scientists, using magnetic resonance（共振） imaging (MRI) to look into the brains of people who stutter, have uncovered new clues. “Fibers between the speech area and language planning area of the brain seem to be disrupted”, said Dr. Christian Bushel of the University of Hamburg. The disturbed ti

For the average reader visual span corresponds to one word; while for the good reader it is about five words at a time.,31,学习交流课件,Most people read one word at a time, saying the word to themselves. This is a slow

38、 way of doing the task, especially when your mind is capable of processing information at a much higher rate. Look at groups of words One of the primary tricks in speed-reading is to look at phrases and groups of words instead of individual words. Instead of reading word-by-word, you read in chunks大

A good way to practice this is to read newspaper articles by scanning down the column专栏，列, digesting all the words across,

41、 instead of reading each word at a time. A newspaper column usually has 4 or 5 words per line, and you should be able to process all of them at once. This method is one of the best for getting used to reading phases instead of words. Just practicing reading this way should noticeably increase your s
