7 . We’ve learned bees can understand zero and do basic math. Now a new study shows their tiny insect brains may be able to connect symbols to numbers.

Adrian Dyer, a professor in the RMIT University, said the research showed brains far smaller than humans’ could know numbers. “Humans learn numbers as children, but being able to recognize what numbers really represent needs a certain level of cognitive (认知的) ability,” Dyer says, “Studies have shown primates (灵长类动物) and birds have this ability, but this is the first time we’ve seen this in insects.”

It’s important for humans to do the research. There are 86 billion neurons (神经元) in humans’ brains. Bees only have less than a million. If bees have the ability to learn something difficult to understand like human-made symbolic language, this will open up exciting new paths for future communication between humans and animals.

Studies have shown that a number of animals have been able to learn symbols of numbers, including parrots and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers and could order them correctly. An African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn numbers and could do simple calculation.

Understanding how tiny brains of bees manage information opens paths to technology, which is good for the future design of computing (计算) systems.

1. What does Adrian Dyer say about the research?

A．The finding of the research is first seen in insects.

B．Humans’ brains are the biggest on the earth.

C．Birds can be as clever as primates.

D．Bees are cleverer than birds.

2. What do we know about the research?

A．Humans may find a new path to communicate with animals.

B．Bees have more neurons than monkeys.

C．Insects have the ability to communicate with humans.

D．Bees can solve basic math problems.

3. Who is Alex according to the text?

A．A child.	B．A monkey.
C．An expert.	D．A parrot.

4. What’s the main idea of the text?

A．Bees can communicate with other animals.

B．Bees can attach symbols to numbers.

C．Some animals can do math problems.

D．Bees can make communication with humans.

9 . How to Keep Long-Distance Friendships

Don’t let distance keep you away from your friends.     1    

Schedule time to chat. Because of kinds of reasons, you and your friends might not be able to chat on the phone every day or even every week.    2     My best friend from high school is a new mom and we are in different time zones. But she makes an effort every few weeks to call me on her drive home from work. When I go back home our friendship feels like I’d never left.

    3     Texting (发短信) your friends can be a good way. It can help you know about each other. My friends and I text each other about the small things like having to work late or losing an earring.

Use social media. Social media is a good way to keep my long-distance friendships going. It allows you to keep up with your friends’ lives.     4     That makes you feel more deeply connected to them.

Vacation together.    5     One friend and I haven’t lived in the same state for 5 years, but I can see her on trips. By going on trips, we can not only stay in touch, but also can create new memories together.

Not every friendship is a friendship that can survive long distance. The thing we can do is do what we can to keep it.

A．Share small things.

B．Schedule time to eat together.

C．Why not plan a trip with your friends?

D．Use these tips to stay close with your friends.

E．It can also help you learn more about their other friends.

F．I drove three hours from Kentucky to spend time with her.

G．Anyway, you should try to find suitable time to chat with your friends.

10 . Since smart phones were invented, more and more people are obsessed (痴迷) by them. The obsession with phones has spread to running. They’re perfectly used during a running outside. Smart phones can provide music for you and track your route. But experts warn that it’s not a good idea to hold your phone in your hand while you go out for a run because it could cause hip (臀部) and shoulder injuries.

The habit could make the body lose balance. The same goes for water bottles, or anything else you might carry in one hand while on a run.

Professional UK Athletics running coach, Alexa, asks runners to carry phones in a waist belt instead. “When you hold something in our hands, there are slightly indirect influences on your pace. It influences the balance of muscle (肌肉), affects the weight of some body parts, and makes you run less fast,” she tells Cosmopolitan UK. “This could be happening every time you train, week after week, month after month.”

And as mobile phones get bigger and heavier, the more injuries are likely to occur. People like to always hold their phones in the same hand. It’s a force of habit. With one arm heavier, your body will try to compensate for the imbalance by working certain muscles harder than others.

The other risk of running phone-in-hand, of course, is damaging the screen of your phones if you fall. It’s very expensive to change a screen. Some of the latest phones can cost close to £ 300.

1. Why do experts think it unsuitable to run with a smart phone?

A．It affects people’s hearing.

B．It makes people lose eyesight.

C．It does harm to parts of people’s bodies.

D．It has a bad effect on people’s mental health.

2. What does Alexa suggest people do?

A．Carry smart phones in a bag.

B．Avoid touching smart phones with your hands.

C．Watch smart phones when running.

D．Carry smart phones in a waist belt.

3. What does the underlined phrase “compensate for” in paragraph 4 mean?

A．Meet up with.	B．Make up for.
C．Face up to.	D．Come up with.

4. What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A．Running phone-in-hand is good for people.

B．It’s time to warn people not to use cell phones.

C．Changing a phone screen may cost much.

D．There are mobile phones falling into pieces every day.
