26、hool our professor introduced a new classmatea wrinkled little old ladyto us. Her name was Rose, and she was eighty-seven years old.After class Rose and I walked to the Student Union Building and shared a chocolate milk-shake. She told me she always dreamed of having a college education and now she
27、was getting one. We became instant friends. Every day for the following months, we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always attracted, listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Rose became famous and easily made friends wherever she went. She t
28、ended to be highly motivated, responsible, and deeply involved in class participation. In spare time she had someone hang out or go to bars with. She even participated in some form of athletic activity. She said that extra-curricular activities can form a vital part of her experience, creating uniqu
29、e chances for friendship and learning.At the end of the term we invited Rose to speak at our football meal. A little embarrassed, she leaned into the microphone and simply said, “Im sorry Im so nervous.” As we laughed, she cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we
30、grow old because we stop playing. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If youre nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year, you will turn twenty. If Im eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year, I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. Its non-op
31、tional but that doesnt take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the chance in change. In this way the elderly dont have regrets for what they did, but rather for things they did not do.” Rose concluded her speech by courageously singing “The Rose”. She challenged us to st
32、udy the words of the song and lived them out in daily lives.At the years end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in honor of the wonderful woman who ta
33、ught by example that its never too late to be all you can possibly be.39. Why does the author compare Rose to “time machine” in Paragraph 2?A. To stress her old age and knowledge of life.B.

35、e idea that _.A. growing older means growing upB. it takes talent and ability to grow upC. receiving high education helps to be courageousD. one grows older at the same time when he grows up42. The passage is intended to _.A. provide an example for the elderly B. discuss how to grow up quicklyC. tel
36、l the importance of attending college D. inspire the readers to live up to livesCSenses That Work TogetherWhen we think about how our senses work, we usually imagine them operating separately: you sniff a flower, and the smell is delivered uninterrupted from nose to brain. However, its more complex
37、than that. Most evidence for cross-modal perception (知觉) comes from studies into sound and vision (视觉). But research that shows other senses crossing over is coming out all the time, and it seems that even sound and smell sometimes form an unlikely pairing.When New York researchers, Daniel Wesson an
38、d Donald Wilson, tried to find out the truth about a “mysterious” area of the brain called the olfactory tubercle, they had to deal with this fact. Originally, they only intended to measure how olfactory tubercle cells in mice responded to smell. But during testing, Wesson noticed that every time he
39、 put his coffee cup down, the mouse cells jumped in activity. In fact, the olfactory tubercle is well-placed to receive both smell and sound information from the outside world. Later they found that among separate cells, most responded to a smell but a significant number were also active when a soun
40、d was made. Some cells even behaved differently when smell and sound were presented together, by increasing or decreasing their activity.Of course, mice arent people, so research team has been carrying out further experiments. They pulled together a group of people and gave them various drinks to sm
41、ell. Participants were asked to sniff the drinks, and then match them to appropriate musical instruments and produce the notes at different levels. The results were interesting: piano was regularly paired with fruity fragrances; strong smells sounded like the instruments that are made of metal.Furth
42、er research found that listening to different sounds can change your perceptions. Studying taste this time, the team ordered some special toffee (太妃糖) and put together “soundscapes” corresponding to bitterness and sweetness. Participants tasted similar pieces of toffee while listening to each sounds
43、cape, and found the toffee more bitter or sweeter, depending on which soundtrack they were listening to.Studies like this are helping scientists correctly describe our understanding of the senses, and how the brain combines them with its advantage. The consequences are worth considering. Could we se
44、e musicians work together with chefs to produce sound-improved food and drink? Will you be ordering a coffee with a soundtrack to bring out your favorite smell? Come to think of it, that could be one thing you hope coffee shop chains dont get round to.643. What does the underlined part in Paragraph
45、2 refer to?A. A lot of research focuses on the senses.B. Sound and vision are relatively easy to study. C. There can be a link between sound and smell.D. Evidence about the way senses work is hard to obtain.44. In Wesson and Wilsons research, _.A. the mice were affected more significantly by soundB.
46、 the result confirmed what the researchers had suspectedC. the mice seemed to be afraid of certain sounds or smells D. the connection between sound and smell was found by chance45. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Participants took an active part in the experiments.B. The purpose of the furth
47、er experiments was totally different.C. The result failed to support what was found in previous experiments.D. Experiments showed that links between sound and smell were consistent.46. How does the author feel about the effect of the research?A. She is excited about the creative chances.B. She is su
48、rprised at the recent developments. C. She is convinced that the findings will be used soon.D. She is worried about how the knowledge can be applied.DComedy and PsychologyEarlier this year I did a part-time comedy course. The class was taught by Ryan, a professional comedian. I had performed a show,
49、 which wasnt originally meant to be a comedy. However, the audience laughed at my first joke, then continued to laugh throughout the routines that were meant to be serious. So it was the audience who told me I was funny, but I didnt understand why or how to control the comic (滑稽的) moments. So, I joined the course to learn.“Turn off yo
