Sme f the classrms at Taft Elementary in Santa Clara, Califrnia, have ne disadvantage in cmmn: They dn’t have windws. That’s true fr Lgan Earnest’s fifth grade classrm, and he felt it was affecting his students.
“Mst f the day, they’re inside,” Earnest tld CBS News. “And they dn’t really get t see any trees,
grass, r the blue sky.” He said the gray walls culd be depressing t the kids and may affect their attentin and even their attendance.
This was cnfirmed by frmer schl psychlgist Ernest Rdriguez, wh said the lack f windws
des affect kids, because research shws being in and arund nature eases anxiety and benefits students. Thugh n lnger a practicing psychlgist, perhaps he knws nw mre than ever the impact nature has n mental health. Rdriguez became a park ranger (公园管理员) n Suthern Califrnia’s Catalina Island
and began fcusing n his passin—landscape phtgraphy.
It was during his training t becme a park ranger that he learned a fact that kids wh have views ut windws t trees d better academically, emtinally and creatively. S an idea t bring nature int rms ccurred t him: Why nt bring landscapes in classrms—via the ceiling (天花板), because teachers
dn’t typically use them.
Rdriguez tk 360 degree shts f tree canpies (树冠) using his phtgraphy skills, then he printed them and fit them nt the classrm ceiling f Earnest’s fifth grade. “Beautiful,”ne student said as she
entered the rm. Anther student said the trees brught him peace, “When yu lk up, it feels like
yu’re sitting under a tree.”
Earnest said he thught there wuld be many psitive effects n his students. “I think my attendance
is ging t g up. The kids are ging t want t cme here mre frequently. Overall, I think the kids are ging t be happier,” he said.
What is the cmmn challenge shared by sme classrms at Taft Elementary?
A. Lack f fresh air. B. Absence f windws.
C. Insufficient lighting. D. Limited access t technlgy.
Why did Ernest Rdriguez bring landscapes int classrms?
T cnnect the students with nature.
T prmte his phtgraphy skills.
T imprve the teachers’ perfrmance.
T create an exciting envirnment fr the students.
Hw did the students react t Rdriguez’s pictures n the classrm ceiling?
They did nt ntice the change.
They failed t cncentrate n lessns.
They preferred the riginal gray ceiling.
They were in favur f the new additins.
What’s Lgan Earnest’s attitude twards the change in the classrm?
A. Cautius and bjective. B. Appreciative and supprtive.
C. Cncerned but dubtful. D. Curius but unsure.

Peple lve t hate n pigens(鸽子) fr the way they mess up parked cars r rush t fd scraps n
the sidewalk. But with mre than 300 species f wild pigen fund n Earth—many f them amazing—it’s time t truly understand the animal. “Pigens are bilgical wnders,” says Rsemary Msc, authr f A Pcket Guide t Pigen Watching. “They can take ff almst vertically(垂直地). They see clrs we can’t, hear sunds we can’t, and find their way acrss hundreds f miles using ways we dn’t fully understand,” she says. “They’re the wrld’s mst verlked birds.”
Pigens are unbelievably cmplex and intelligent animals. They are ne f nly a small number f
species t pass the “mirrr test”—a test f self-recgnitin. They can als recgnize each letter f the
human alphabet, differentiate between phtgraphs, and even distinguish different humans within a phtgraph. Besides, pigens are knwn fr their utstanding navigatinal abilities. They use a range f
skills, such as using the sun as a guide and an internal “magnetic cmpass(指南针)”. A study at Oxfrd
University fund that they will als use landmarks as signpsts and will travel alng man-made rads and
mtrways, even changing directin at crssrads. Pigens als have excellent hearing abilities. They can
detect sunds at far lwer frequencies than humans are able t, and can thus hear distant strms and vlcanes.
Despite the scial idea as dirty and disease-ridden, pigens are actually very clean animals and there
is very little evidence t suggest that they are spreading disease. Pigens and humans have lived in clse3relatinship fr thusands f years. Althugh pigen drppings are seen by sme as a prblem in mdern
sciety, a few centuries ag they were seen as extremely valuable. They were viewed as the best available fertilizers(肥料) and armed guards wuld even stand by pigen huses t stp thers taking the drppings.
What can we knw abut pigens frm paragraph 1?
They d great harm t peple.
They are still unknwn t peple.
They are the wrld’s mst amazing birds.
They have abilities beynd peple’s imaginatin.
What d the underlined wrds “navigatinal abilities” mean in paragraph 2?
A. The ability t see clrs. B. The ability t detect sunds.
C. The ability t find directins. D. The ability t recgnize phtgraphs.
What des paragraph 2 mainly tell us?
A. Pigens’ hearing. B. Pigens’ differences.
C. Pigens’ qualities. D. Pigens’ intelligence.
What des the example f armed guards indicate?
A. Pigens are dangerus. B. Pigens are priceless.
C. Pigen waste is valuable. D. Pigen waste is pisnus.

Peple’s first memries are all autbigrapbical (自传式的), r memries f significant experiences
in their lives, and these events typically didn’t happen befre the age f 2 r 3. In fact, mst peple can’t remember things frm the first few years f their lives—a phenmenn researchers have called infantile amnesia（童年失忆症）.
Hwever, research suggests that infants (婴儿) can frm ther kinds f memries. Within the first
few days f life, infants can recall their wn mther’s face and tell it frm the face f a stranger. A few mnths later, infants can shw that they remember lts f familiar faces by smiling mst at the nes they see mst ften.
But if s, why d peple experience infantile amnesia? Thugh it still isn’t clear whether it’s because
we can’t frm autbigraphical memries, r whether we just have n way t retrieve (找回) them, scientists have a few guesses.
One is that autbigraphical memries require yu t have sme sense f self. Researchers have
tested this ability using a mirrr recgnitin task called the ruge test. It invlves marking a baby’s nse with a spt f red lipstick.
Researchers then place the infant in frnt f a mirrr. Infants yunger than 18 mnths just smile at
the baby in the reflectin, nt shwing any evidence f recgnizing themselves r the red mark n their
face. Between 18 and 24 mnths, infants tuch their wn nse, even lking embarrassed, suggesting that
they cnnect the red dt in the mirrr with their wn face and start t frm sme sense f self.
Anther pssible explanatin is that because infants dn’t have language until later in the secnd
year f life, they can’t frm descriptins abut their wn lives that they can later recall. Finally, the hippcampus （海马体）, which is the regin f the brain that’s largely respnsible fr memry, isn’t fully develped in
the infancy perid.
Scientists will cntinue t investigate hw these factrs might cntribute t infantile amnesia.
What can infants d in their first few mnths?
A. Recgnize familiar faces. B. Remember a series f events.
C. Identify their wn reflectins. D. Memrize their family members.
What des the ruge test shw abut babies between 18 and 24 mnths?
A. They like lking in the mirrr. B. They ignre the marks n their faces.
C. They see their reflectins as themselves. D. They enjy playing with their reflectins.
What culd be a cause f infantile amnesia accrding t the text?
A. Infants’ lack f scial skills. B. Infants’ undevelped hippcampus.
C. Infants’ inability t recall memries. D. Infants’ unusual autbigraphical memries.
Which f the fllwing can be the best title fr the text?
A. Hw d kids frm their memries? B. When d babies start remembering?
C. Hw can we retrieve lst memries? D. Why can’t we remember being a baby?

W: Trees are pretty imprtant t the envirnment. S it makes sense that if yu chp dwn t many
f these and dn’t replace them,and yu’re ging t run int all srts f prblems.The Philippines knws all abut that. It’s lst mre than tw thirds f its frest area in less than a hundred years. In
2003, a slide f a large mass f dirt and rck dwn a muntain r cliff, r we call a landslide, killed
arund tw hundred peple. Recently anther landslide buried an entire village in mud. It’s believed mre than ne thusand peple died.The cause f this landslide is still being debated. Mst say it was the heavy rainfall. I mean we’re talking abut tw thusand millimeters f rain in ten days that’s quite
a dwnpur. Sme say a minr earthquake played a part,while thers blamed the remval f trees. Of
curse, it culd be a cmbinatin f all thse things.While the Philippines banned chpping dwn trees fr several years,it started again in 2005. Partly because the Philippines ppulatin is grwing at a rapid rate, s the land is needed fr husing and farming. S hw d yu supprt the increasing ppulatin withut ruining the envirnment? Grw mre plantatins—frests, which are fr cmmercial use. And dn’t destry ur native’s frests.2
