10、ers make people happy. And while that might seem obvious, there hasnt been much research to prove the point until now.Some new studies by Rutgers University scientists support the idea strongly, and the experts go on to assume that flowers have flourished on this planet, with their beauty evolving i

11、n recent thousands of years, partly because humans are so attached to them.In a test, bunches of flowers were sent by florists to 113 men and women in a retirement community. All 113 got flowers and a notebook, but some got them earlier and received a second bunch when the others got theirs. By now

12、you can guess the outcome. The more flowers, the more smiles.The results of the studies got the scientists to thinking about how the flower industry of today has evolved into growing things that serve no other purpose than emotional (情感上的) satisfaction. Nature wont even pollinate (授粉) many of the do

13、mesticated flowers. Just among roses, there are so many types created by humans that, clearly, flowers arent what they used to be. But its likely our collective hand has played a role longer than you might think.Geneticist (遺傳學(xué)家) Terry McGuire suggests that natures prettier flowers got to survive an

14、d develop well because people didnt destroy them when they cleared for agriculture. Instead, they grew them and have been doing so for over 5,000 years. “Because theyre a source of pleasure, we take care of them. In that sense theyre like dogs. They are the pets of the plant world.” McGuire says.Her

15、e is one way that might have worked:Many species of flowers that are now planted used to grow only when the ground was disturbed, McGuire explains. “As humans moved into agricultural settings, these flowers would have been weeds.” “These flowers might have been tolerated because of their beauty. The

16、 seeds would have been preserved and replanted. Over time, the best of these flowers might have been selected and the seeds more carefully preserved.”1、The underlined word “theirs” probably means _.AflowersBnotebooksCflowers and notebooksDa second bunch of flowers2、Which of the following statements

20、s answer is a tribute（致敬）to her kind teacher.“If it had not been for Anne Sullivan,the name of Helen Keller would have remained unknown.”According to speaker Zig Ziglar,Annie Sullivan was no stranger to hardship.She was almost sightless herself and was,at one time,diagnosed as hopelessly “insane” by

21、 her caregivers.She was locked in the basement of a mental institution.Occasionally,Annie would violently attack anyone who came near.Most of the time she generally ignored everyone in her presence.An elderly nurse believed there was hope,however,and she made it her work to show love to the child.Ev

22、ery day she visited Annie,and she left cookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.She believed Annie could recover,if only she were shown love.Eventually,doctors noticed the change in the girl.Where they once witnessed anger and hate,they naw noted a gentleness and love.They moved her

23、 upstairs where she continued to improve.Then the day finally came when this seemingly “hopeless” child was released.Anne Sullivan grew into a young woman with a desire to help others as she,herself,was helped by the kind nurse.It was she who saw the great potential in Helen Keller.She loved her,dis

24、ciplined（約束）her, played with her, pushed her and worked with her until the flickering candle that was her life became a beacon（燈塔）of light to the world.Anne Sullivan worked wonders in Helens life;but in was a loving nurse who first believed in Little Annie and lovingly transformed an uncommunicative

27、eCA Good Teacher DRemarkable Achievements23（8分） Its apparently become a trend in schools around the world to ban students from using the term, “best friends,” according to psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg. The movement, which is believed to have started in Prince Georges school in South London, is

28、nt intended to discourage close friendships, but rather encourage a wider friend group, Greenberg says.“Lets face it. You cant ban somebody from having a close relationship, and you cant really ban somebody from having a best friend but what the schools are trying to do is foster the idea of kids ha

29、ving more than a single friend,” Greenberg said.The idea is to increase the number of interactions a student may have with different members of his or her peer group. “I see kids come in all week long who are feeling awful because they are either nobodys best friend or their best friend has moved on

30、,” Greenberg says.Jay Jacobs, who operates Timber Lake Camp in New York, stresses the downside of not fostering multiple relationships at a young age, for exactly that reason. “I think that there are problems in just having one friend,” Jacobs says. “Remember as you grow up, interests change, and ch

31、ildren go in different directions.” Jacobs adds that teachers at Timber Lake, which changes positions between Glen Cove in winter and Shandake in summer, have made it a point to promote a more inclusive environment for years.Jacobs reminds people that, “As you grow up, interests change, and children

32、 go in different directions,” so having only one friend can be risky. He holds the belief that children will be better set up for success later in life if they get used to having a wider friend group at a young age. “Its about promoting kindness, looking to children to be kind to one another and to

33、be aware of what it looks like when youre not,” Jacobs says.1、Why do schools ban the term “best friends”?ATo make students concentrate on their studies.BTo encourage students to make more friends.CTo prevent students from falling in love at a young age.DTo discourage students from having a close rel

36、s through your head for the rest of the day. If 9 is the number of likes on that cute photo you posted the other day, many will feel rather disappointed.Our lives have become a constant system of ranks, assessments, and numbers. The days of passing judgment on others based on personality are gone, a

37、nd now we judge based on how good a persons numbers are. We compare ourselves to the numbers of others, such as how low another persons weight is how high their paycheck. Self-worth is no longer based on quality of character, but quantity of numbers.In todays social media consumed society,it has nev

38、er been easier for people to broadcast their numbers to the world.A simple click of a button can take you to a page where you can observe the number of friends or followers a person has. Teenagers have taken on this mentality that if you dont have a certain number of followers, then you arent“cool”.

39、 Many feel they are not important if very few people are witnessing their status updates. This state of mind is harmful and not at all accurate.Twitter and Facebook can let the world witness your updates, but they will never let anyone see who you really are. In the end.self-worth should be based on

40、 what you think of yourself, not what the world thinks of you.So next time you receive a failing grade or you lose a follower, remember that these things cannot and should not define(定義)you. You are not your numbers. You are a person-a3-D living and breathing person with ideas and creativity and lov

43、liest fruit in the world, letting out an unusual unpleasant smell which would make anyone bring up. However, nobody was aware of what gave this fruit its unique smell, so a team of researchers from Singapore decided to take a look at its genome (基因組) and find out,Durian is well-known throughout Sout

44、heast Asia as the king of fruits, mostly because of its awful appearance and smell. However, the origin of this unpleasant smell was unknown, so researchers decided to map the genome of the fruit, and find the gene that controlled it. A group of genes, volatile sulfur compounds (含硫化合物), became very

45、active in the fruit, and they were found responsible for resulting in the unpleasant smell.The fruit confuses everyone with a sulfuric smell, like rotten onions and ingredients. The smell lasts long, mostly because the fruit contains more volatile sulfur compounds. Other species usually benefit from

46、 two gene copies at most, but durian has four, leading to the striking smell.However, this smell might be an advantage for durian in the wild. Although we find it unpleasant, many animals might be attracted by it. If they eat the fruit, then they can easily spread its seeds everywhere, thus contribu

47、ting to the distribution of the species.The mapping of the durian genome also showed some other information on the species. First of all, the fruit has an impressive number of genes, namely 46,000. Also, with the help of these genes, they saw how it evolved, and discovered it was related to the caca

48、o tree. All the other discoveries have been published in the journal Nature Genetics.Despite the striking smell, many people actually enjoy eating the fruit. However, not all durian species are edible, and some of them may even cause damage to our health, Even so, the fruit is often imported, signif
