New research shows sheep are clever
People often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (啮齿动物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.
Young fish prefer noisy neighbors
A new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!
Butterflies are disappearing
A new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered with flowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.
“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’”
“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’”
4. Which of the following statements is TRUE about Monty Roberts?
A. He was born in a poor family.
B. He received a good education.
C. He is raising money for the poor.
D. He is a horse trainer who owns a big ranch.
5. From Paragraph 3, we know Monty Roberts _____.
A. was just a daydreamer
B. decided to follow his father’s example
C. expected the teacher to praise him
D. had a great plan for his future
6. The teacher thought Monty Roberts’s dream was _____.

C
Imagine entering a very large building and you have no idea how to get to the office you are looking for. But then, as you’re standing there, a nearly silent balloon floats (飘) over to you and speaks to you. It asks you where you want to go. You tell it, and then it simply says “follow me” like a child’s game, and begins to float off in the direction of your destination. It keeps going, as you follow, leading you to where you want to go.
The guide works itself, without any help from any human being. It says hello to people as they arrive in the building, speaks to them, processes their requests and then guides them to the destination.
The balloon has two tiny fans to help keep it floating and to provide just a touch of lift. Onboard is a wireless (无线的) receiver for receiving directions from a computer that directs the fans and sensors (传感器) that let it know where objects are around it.
The idea of such a simple robot is one that has been on the minds of scientists for years, and has been mentioned in novels many times. Today the iPhone does something similar but has to be connected to the Internet which is sometimes difficult. This is why this little balloon might be the wave of the future — because it is so much easier to follow!
8. The balloon is used to _____.
A. lead the way B. bring people joy
C. catch the thief D. welcome the visitors
9. The underlined word “processes” can best be replaced by _____.
A. asks for B. refuses
C. repeats D. deals with
10. The balloon gets to know its position with the help of _____.
A. sensors B. two tiny fans
C. a wireless receiver D. human beings
11. The text is most probably from a _____.
A. science news report B. newspaper ad
C. book review D. science novel
D
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net.”
“I often check my e-mail forty times a day.”
“I often spend more than tree hours during one time on the net.”
“I spend more time in chat rooms（聊天室）than with my real-life friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction（瘾）called Internet addiction. Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online very week. The use of the Internet can be an addiction like drug（毒品） use. People lose contro1 (控制) of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the' computer lab; He was surfing the net for several days straight.
Studies show that about 6% to 10% of Internet users became addicted. And people worry about the teenagers because the Internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world of friends and family.
Is “surfing the net” a hobby or an addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have these symptoms (症状):
You do not go to important family activities or you do not go to school or work because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
You can’t wait for your next online time.
 You plan to spend a short time on line, but then you spend several hours. You go out with your friends less and less.
12.What does the beginning of the passage tell us?
A. What an Internet addict usually does.   B. How to become an Internet addict.
C. Where to find an Internet addict.     D. Why to write this passage.
13. How does the writer describe the addicts’ use of Internet?
A. It is something like keeping drugs.    B. It is a way of producing drugs.
C. It is like taking drugs.         D. It is terrible to imagine.
14. The example in the passage shows that                .
A. Internet problems are more serious among college students
B. Internet addicts usually stay in the computer lab without sleep
C. Some of the Internet users have already been seriously addicted
D.The police often help to find those Internet addicted
15. What is the writer trying to tell us at the end of the passage?
A. Don’t be addicted the Internet. B. Go to family activities more often.
C. Do things as you have planned. D. Stay with your parents as often as possible.

(4) Be positive. Most stress is temporary（暂时的).Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out (弄明白) the problem and start working on solving it.
These steps aren’t magic, but they do work. And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you’ll help yourself feel better even faster.     20.
