21、“All of our senses convert (转换) physical energy in the surrounding world into electrical responses. which are the common currency that the nervous system uses, “ said James Hudspeth from Rockefeller University.

Hudspeth said, “Our ears have to convert mechanical vibrations(震动)in the air into electrical responses. And the way this is done is that there are so-called hair cells. These cells have little microscopic bristles(刚毛), about a hundred of them, and on the top of each cell, these bristles vibrate back and forth in response to sound. That sets up an electrical signal that goes down a nerve fiber and into the brain. ”

Hudspeth continued, “The real question is what happens with these hair cells as they degenerate. We lose them owing to loud sounds and certain drugs, and we lose them with ag- ing. What can be done to repair them so that we can restore hearing?”

Another expert, Robert Fettiplace said, “Well, I mean there are two aspects to this, one of which is that you could try and regrow them. Almost all hearing loss is due to death of the hair cells or lack of formation of them in the first place. The cells are all different. ”

Hudspeth said, “The problems that Robert has mentioned go for mammals, including ourselves. The situation is different with other four-legged animals. But, in reptiles, including birds, this regeneration is going on all the time, like in fish. In fact, you can take a chicken to a concert, blasting its ears. They will nicely regenerate, and even with frequency- specific hair cells, they will reconnect, and the animal will be able to hear normally again. ”

Hudspeth added, “I agree that there is an enormous challenge, and this is certainly some- thing that won’t happen overnight in ourselves. But I don’t think it’s a hopeless task and I think basically what many people are trying to do is decode (解码) the signals sent as these hair cells develop, and by doing so to recognize the signaling pathways that might be reactivated the original development and restore hair cells by that means. ”

【1】How is the conversion achieved according to the text?

A．Through the brain.

B．Through hair cells.

C．Through physical energy.

D．Through certain drugs.

【2】What does the underlined word “degenerate” in paragraph 3 mean?

A．Worsen.

B．Form.

C．Proceed.

D．Extend.

【3】What does the enormous challenge mentioned in the last paragraph refer to?

A．Replacing cells.

B．Receiving signals.

C．Restoring hearing.

D．Reconnecting pathways.

【4】Which may be the best title for the text?

A．How do electrical responses work?

B．How can we decode hearing signals?

22、With the nine to five being a common way to make a living, our place of work can become like a second home, so the conditions of that environment can have a significant influence on our physical and mental health. Now, new research has studied the effect that a bad work environment can have on our mood, finding that bosses who fail to consider their employees’ mental health put them at a three times risk of depression (抑郁).

The research, published in the BMJ Open, wanted to look into the workplace psychosocial safety climate (PSC) — a term for management practices and systems that set out to conserve workers’ mental health and safety. To do so, they reviewed data on workers in Australia that lasted one year to look for associations between management practices and mental health issues.

The review found that poor workplace mental health can be traced back to low PSC, which exhibited poor management practices, privileges and values. While long hours were linked to severe cases of over-tiredness, they showed a weaker association with depression, and poor management practices were found to cause a greater risk for depression.

“Evidence shows that companies who fail to reward or acknowledge their employees for hard work and put unreasonable demands on workers, are placing their staff at a much greater risk of depression,” said lead author Dr. Amy Zadow of the University of South Australia in a statement. “We also found that depression in a work unit can not only negatively affect the victim, but also the team members who witness that behavior. It is not uncommon for everyone in the same unit to experience depression as a result.”

Depression affects over 264 million people around the world and while treatments are available, the number of documented cases remains strong. It’s possible that insights from research such as this could contribute towards lowering these numbers by informing better management practices to improve workplace PSC.

【1】How does the bad work environment affect workers according to the new research?

A．Their living conditions will get worse.

B．They are more likely to get depression.

C．The workplace will become their home.

D．They can’t get along well with colleagues.

【2】What probably contributes to the low PSC in the workplace?

A．High job demands.

B．Long hours of work.

C．Poor working conditions.

D．Bad management practices.

【3】What can we conclude from Dr. Amy Zadow’s remark?

A．One takes the behavior of his company.

B．Only those taking risks can accomplish more.

C．Teamwork and cooperation can create wonders.

D．Someone will step forward with generous reward.

【4】Which edition does the passage probably come from?

A．Science and society.

B．Psychology and health.

C．Environment and climate.

D．Management and technology.

23、Today, roller skating(滑旱冰) is easy and fun. But many years ago, it wasn’t easy at all. Before 1745, people never tried skating on wheels. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlin’s work was making instruments(工具). In his free time, he liked to play the violin. Merlin was a man with many ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

One day, Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.

Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll(滚动). Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.

On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise.

Nobody forget Merlin’s wonderful entrance after that.

24、The concept of a “born leader” seems so fanciful that it belongs on the cover of a bad business book. But it turns out that born leaders are real, and researchers have discovered a key factor, which isn’t genes, parents, or peers, but birth order.

First-born children are 30 percent more likely to be CEOs or politicians, according to a new paper by several economists, Sandra E. Black at the University of Texas-Austin, and Bjorn Ockert and Erik Gronqvist at Sweden’s Institute for Evaluation of Labor Market and Education Policy. The paper, which only looked at boys, found that first-borns stay in school longer, make more money, have a higher IQ, and even spend more time on homework than on television,

The idea that birth order might shape personality goes back at least to the 1920s, when Alfred Adler theorized that first-born children develop a “taste for power” at a young age, since they can dominate their younger siblings. He went on to say young children are spoiled and become dependent on their parents (the “baby of the family” effect), while middle children, being often in a war for their parents’ attention, are status-conscious and naturally competitive.

Obtaining personality from birth may strike you. But Adler’s hypotheses (假说) have held up in numerous studies. In a 2013 paper, “Strategic Parenting, Birth Order and School Performance,” V. Joseph Hotz, a professor of economics at Duke University, and Juan Pantano, a professor of economics at Washington University in St. Louis, used American data to show that school performance declines with birth order.

The researchers chalked their findings up to what they called the “reputational model of strategic parenting.” Put simply, parents invest a lot of time in establishing rules for their first child, building a reputation for toughness that they hope will pass down to later children. As a result, first-borns are doubly blessed—having too much of their parents’ attention, and then entrusted to act as the rules enforcer of the family, which helps them build intelligence, discipline, and leadership qualities. In the survey, parents report that they consider their older children more successful, and they are less likely to discipline their later-born children for improper behaviors, such as acting up or not doing homework.

This new study relies on Swedish data, and it comes to a similar conclusion. First-borns aren’t just healthier or smarter, but also they score higher on “emotional stability, persistence, social outgoingness, willingness to assume responsibility and ability to take the initiative.” Its researchers ruled out genetic factors; in fact, they uncovered evidence that later-born children might be healthier than first-borns.

Instead, the differences among siblings had everything to do with family dynamics in the children’s early years. First, having more children means parents can spend less time on each child, and as the parental investment declines, so may IQ.

Second, the most important effect, the researchers said, might not be the “strategic parenting” but something more like “strategic brothering.” As siblings compete for their parents’ love (or ice cream, or toys), they occupy certain positions---older siblings demonstrate their competence and power, while younger siblings develop more creative strategies to get attention. This effect seems particularly strong among later-born boys with older brothers. Younger brothers are much more likely to enter “creative” occupations ---like architect, writer, actor, singer, or photographer---if they have older brothers, rather than older sisters. In other words, among young brothers, specialization within the family forecasts specialization in the workforce.

There is a considerable implication in this idea that family dynamics during childhood can shape adult personality. Young children are highly sensitive to their environment, in ways that often have lasting effects.
