When my daughter first began competing in school chess tournaments, I often chatted with other parents.Sometimes, I' d ask if they played chess themselves.Usually, the reply was no.When I volunteered that I was learning to play, their tone was cheerfully joking : "Good luck with that !" If this game is so good for kids, why are adults ignoring it? Seeing someone playing smart phone games, I wanted to say: "Why are you having your kids do chess while you do that?"
Sure, we parents had work to do, work that helped pay for the lessons our kids were enjoying.But I also wondered if we were sending a subtle message: that learning was for the young. During one tournament, I saw a group of parents.They were playing chess ! Just then, a group of kids passed me. "Why are adults learning chess?" one asked, in a vaguely teasing tone.
I was tired of sitting on the sidelines.I wanted in.And that is how I got a membership card and started throwing myself in.Early on, I was nervous, even though I really had nothing to lose, except my pride."A master can sometimes play badly," as one grandmaster (国际象棋大师) put it, "a fan, never!" And fan I was.It was three hours of concentration and thinking, with my phone turned off.It felt like a gym for the brain.
Being a beginner can be hard at any age, but it gets harder as you get older.The phrase "adult beginner" has an air of gentle pity.It implies the learning of something that you should have perhaps already learned.
22、What can we learn about other parents from their remarks in Para.1 ?
A、They were indifferent to adult learners.
B、They agreed on the idea of learning chess.
C、They gave congratulations to the adult learner.
D、They thought it odd for an adult to learn chess.

There' s an old fixed understanding about the difference between cats and dogs.Dogs are loving and loyal, while cats are aloof (冷漠离群的 ) and indifferent.Most cat people, however, probably disagree.Overall, cat research suggests cats do form emotional bonds with their owners.Cats seem to experience separation anxiety, respond to their owners' voices more than to strangers' and look for comfort when seared.
But a new study reveals a more complicated picture of our relationship with cats.Adapting a method previously used to study dogs, the scientists found cats--unlike dogs--don' t avoid strangers who refuse to help their owners.This doesn' t mean that the cats in this study were selfish, but they simply didn' t understand how human beings respond to each other.They weren' t aware that some of the strangers were being unhelpful.
In an experiment, a cat watched as her owner tried to open a box to get at something inside.Two strangers sat on either side of the owner and the owner turned to one of them and asked for help.In "helper" trials, the stranger helped the owner to open the box.In "non-helper" trials, the stranger refused.The other stranger sat passively, doing nothing.Then, both strangers offered the cat a treat, and the scientists watched to see which stranger the cat approached first.Did she prefer to take food from a helpful stranger over a passive one? Or did she avoid taking food from the non-helper?
When this method was used to test dogs, they showed a clear preference.The dogs preferred not to take food from a stranger who refused to help their owner. In contrast, the cats in the study were completely indifferent.They showed no preference for the helpful person and no avoidance (避开 ) of the unhelpful person.Apparently, as far as cats are concerned, food is food.
What should we take from this? An attractive conclusion would be that cats are selfish and don' t care about how their owners are treated at all. This is an example of human-centered thinking of animals.To really understand cats, we have to get out of this view and think of them as cats.
23、What do most cat people probably disagree with, according to Para.1.9
A、Cats are strange.
B、Cats are loving.
C、Cats are caring.
D、Cats are cold.

Scientists have shown that exercise is linked to brain changes throughout all stages of life and canhelp the brain develop and stay healthy.Babies, for example, need regular exercise to form connectionsin the brain. In children, research suggests that exercise improves attention, focus and schoolperformance.In the elderly, exercise has been shown to help slow memory loss.
Then how does exercise help the brain? Over the last 20 years, scientists have learned that exercisecan help keep the mind sharp in a number of ways.Exercise improves blood flow to the brain.The bloodcarries oxygen, contributing to more efficient connections between brain cells.Increasing blood flow isone way that exercise can improve mental abilities.The positive effects of exercise on the brain can beseen in babies, pre-teenagers and adults.
Babies are in near-constant movement, which is extremely important for development. Thismovement not only strengthens their muscles, but also helps their brains form connections.The processcontinues throughout life but is most intense in infancy (婴儿期) and toddlerhood (学步期), whenchildren are mastering brand-new skills like sitting, standing, walking, running and jumping.
Exercise is also healthy for pre-teenagers' brains. In fact, some research suggests that regularexercise can improve school performance.A study found that the effects depended on how much kidsexercised.The more days the children attended the exercise program, the more their focus improved.
Finally, exercise helps keep the mind sharp during adulthood. Research suggests exercise canincrease the size of the hippocampus, an important area of the brain, which becomes smaller with age,and can increase levels of a protein (蛋白质) that aids the growth of new brain ceils.This can help prevent older adults from losing mental abilities and memory.
24、How does exercise help the elderly?
A、By improving attention.
B、By slowing memory loss.
C、By connecting with others.
D、By controlling cell growth.

In 1542, Francisco de Orellana led the first European voyage down the Amazon River.During thisvoyage the explorers met a lot of resistance (抵抗) from the local Indians.In one particular tribe thewomen fighters were so fierce that they drove their male fighters in front of them with spears.Thus theriver was named after the famous women fighters of the ancient Greek stories, the Amazons.
This voyage also started our wonder of the greatest river and the largest area of rainforest in theworld.About 20% of all fresh water carried to the oceans is from the Amazon River.The Amazon basinis the world' s largest, about the size of Europe.The river is a product of the rainy season, which bringshuge rains every summer.This also produces a large area of rainforest, which supports the largestnumber of diverse plants and animals of any area in the world.
The Amazon rainforest is also important when it comes to the future of global warming, as it is ahuge natural store of carbon.Up until recently it was thought that the Amazon had fully grown and thuscould not take up any more CO2.Experiments have shown this could be wrong and that the Amazonrainforest might be sucking up an additional five tons of CO2 from the atmosphere per hectare (公顷)per year.This is because plants react favorably to increased CO2; because it is the raw material forphotosynthesis (光合作用), the more of it the better.So having more CO2 in the atmosphere acts like afertilizer, stimulating plant growth.Because of the size of the Amazon rainforest, it seems that presentlyit is taking up a large percentage of our CO2 pollution in the atmosphere, about 75% of the world's carpollution.
25、After whom was the Amazon River named?
A、The Indian women fighters.
B、The head of an Indian tribe.
C、The first explorer of the river.
D、The women fighters in ancient Greek stories.

The AIDA model is the foundation of modern marketing and advertising practice.It outlines the fourbasic steps that can be used to persuade potential customers to make a purchase.The first three steps liein creating attention ( A), developing interest ( I), and building desire (D) for the product, before thefourth step--the "call to action" (A)--tells them exactly how and where to buy.AIDA can channel thecustomer's feelings through each stage of the communication process toward reaching a sale.
Attracting the customer' s attention is the first challenge, and this may be achieved by using anattractive phrase, offering a discount or something for free, or demonstrating how a problem can besolved.Once someone' s attention has been seized, it must be turned into real interest.This is best doneby providing a brief description of the product' s benefits to the consumer, rather than simply listing theproduct' s main features.Problem-solving claims, or results-based advice can be used to create desire,before finally laying out a simple way for that desire to be met--the means to buy. On websiteadvertising, this might be a direct link; on TV or print, it may be a website or telephone number.
In the movie industry, the stages of AIDA are used to great effect.Movie studios often begin theirmarketing campaigns months in advance with giant posters to attract attention to the new movie.Shortattractive previews follow, which develop interest by offering an attractive glimpse of the movie withoutgiving too much away.Desire is inspired by the release of the full preview, which is carefully designedto show the exciting moments of the movie, from special effects to humorous lines of dialogue.On theopening weekend, advertisements in newspapers and on television focus on the movie' s release, invitingthe consumer to go and buy a ticket.
26、What is the purpose of creating the AIDA model?
A、To promote potential sales.
B、To simplify the daily business.
C、To describe the types of markets.
D、To lay the foundation for advertising.
