【推荐2】We are often told to pay attention to what our mothers tell us. Most of us enjoy listening to our mothers speak. Scientists have found that compared with other people’s voices, our brains greatly prefer the voices of our own mothers.

Scientists at Stanford University US, recently studied this. They scanned（扫描）children’s brains while they were listening to different sounds, including their mothers’ voices. They found that 97 percent of the time, children could recognize（辨别）their mothers’ voices at once.

Hearing their mothers’ voices makes children’s brains more active. We usually just use one part of our brain to deal with sounds when we hear something. But when we hear our mother’s voices, many parts of the brain, including those in charge of（负责）reward（奖励）and feeling, start to work as well.

Why do we react so strongly to our mothers’ voices? It starts even before we’re born. When children are still in the womb（子宫）or have just been born, they hear their mothers’ talking, which makes babies feel comfortable and excited. Mothers’ talking also teaches them language and social skills, though they are still very young. The babies learn to recognize their mothers’ voices as a rewarding sound. Later, when this sound is heard again, more attention is paid to it.

Some sounds are necessary and can bring us happiness. These sounds are recognized by our brains as rewarding sounds. Most of the voices are not recognized in this way, but mothers’ voices are different.

1. Our brains greatly prefer the voices of ________ to other people’s voices.（完成句子）
2. Children’s brains become ________ after hearing their mothers’ voices.（完成句子）
3. How do the babies feel when they hear mothers talking?（简略回答问题）

Returning home is usually happy and exciting. Is it the same for astronauts returning from space? On June 12, the Shenzhou XII manned spacecraft went into space. It took three Chinese astronauts Nie Haisheng, Liu Boming and Tang Hongbo to China’s first Tiangong space station. Three months later, on September 19, they came back to earth in a return capsule（舱）. The trip home wasn’t easy. Let’s see how it went.

“Real gold fears no fire”

It was a hot journey! When the spacecraft entered earth’s atmosphere（大气层）, its surface temperature rose to more than 2,000 degrees! This is because the spacecraft rubbed（摩擦）against the air. How could the astronauts stay safe? (A) People use a special material stop the heat from getting inside. “Real goldfears no fire.” Nie said.

Losing contact

Radio blackouts（中断）happen when there is too much heat. (B)这意味着宇航员无法与地面通话。It didn’t last long—just several minutes. During this time, with the help of radar, scientists on the earth still knew where the spacecraft was.

Landing

When the spacecraft was about 10 kilometers above the ground, it prepared to land. It moved at 200 meters per second. That’s twice the speed of high-speed trains! It was too fast to directly land.

Parachutes（降落伞）were used to slow down the landing. Even so, if a chute is too big, it might turn over, like an umbrella on a windy day. Therefore, the spacecraft first opened a small chute. Then the main chute worked. As big as 1,200 square meters, it could stretch about 70 meters long—the width（宽度）of a soccer field. It slowed the speed down to 7 to 8 meters per second. These special parachutes were made in China.

1. How long did the three astronauts stay in the space station?
______________________________________________
2. 将划线句子(A)改写成被动语态。
______________________________________________
3. 将划线句子(B)翻译成英语。

4. Why didn’t the spacecraft open the main chute first?

5. Give a best title to the passage, please. (No more than seven words)

【推荐1】Huge Waves Destroying Arctic Ice Faster than Expected

Ice covers much of the Arctic Ocean(北冰洋). Some pieces of ice are huge, like moving islands. As temperatures have increased, however, some of the ice has begun to disappear. Scientists have discovered huge waves(海浪) in the arctic waters.

The waves were discovered by accident in May, 2010. Scientist Aleksey Marchenko and his students set out on a trip. They wanted to study the icy waters.

On May 2, the ship traveled east and stopped next to a large chunk of ice around 50 miles from the small island of Hopen. Marchenko prepared to lead his students out onto the ice.

“We were ready to go but when I went out, I discovered many cracks(裂缝) around,” he remembers.

He decided to move the ship deeper into the ice to keep safe. The farther in they went, he thought, the harder the ice would become. As they pushed forward, however, the ship experienced small waves, and then bigger ones. Soon, the waves broke up the ice around the ship into thousands of smaller pieces.

Within an hour, Marchenko and his team saw a wave that was about 13 feet high. The ship’s navigation system finally recorded the largest waves. They were more than 20 feet in height. The waves were so strong that they forced huge pieces of ice to jump up and down, breaking the ice into smaller pieces within just one hour: Scientists had never imagined that the process could happen so fast. The waves in these areas used to be small.

The speed and force of the huge waves there makes it impossible to know in advance when they are coming. That could be dangerous for navigators and local communities who are unprepared for huge waves or depend on sea ice to protect them. Wildlife like polar bears and walruses that depend on sea ice to live is also in danger.

Some scientists think people will soon see even bigger waves in these icy waters. As waves break up ice, the seas will become more open, and the waves will get even stronger. There are stormy times ahead.

1. When did Marchenko and his students discover huge waves in the arctic waters?

2. Why did Marchenko and his students set out on the trip?

3. Would you like to be a member of Marchenko’s team? If you want to take part, what will you do next?
