He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethov

10、en just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes(音符) in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata（奏鸣曲）by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.Amazed that he remembered this long and diff

11、icult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable. They say his ability is very rare, but Samuel doesnt even realize that what he can do is special. Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study mus

12、ic instead. Now, he studies law and music.Samuel cant understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having an

13、y lessons. It comes easily to me -I hear the notes and can bear them in mind-each and every note,” says Samuel. Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learnin

14、g a piece that is so difficult that many professional pianists cant play it. Samuel says confidently, “Its all about super memory-I guess I have that gift.”However, Samuels ability to remember things doesnt stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read

15、 a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesnt know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.21. What is special about Samuel Osmond?A. He can write down the note he hears. B.

18、dience by playing all the musical pieces.BFish Ears Tell Fish Tales Fish have ears. Really. Theyre quite small and have no opening to the outside world, carrying sound through the body. For the past seven years, Simon Thorrold, a university professor, has been examining fish ears, small round ear bo

19、nes called otoliths. As fish grow, so do their otoliths. Each day, their otoliths gain a ring of calcium carbonate(碳酸钙),By looking through a microscope(显微镜) and counting these rings, Thorrold can determine the exact age of a young fish. As a fish gets older, its otoliths no longer get daily rings. I

20、nstead, they get yearly rings, which can also be counted, giving information about the fishs age, just like the growth rings of a tree. Ring counting is nothing new to fish scientists. But Thorrold has turned to a new direction. Theyre examining the chemical elements(元素)of each otolith ring. The dai

21、ly ring gives us the time, but chemistry tells us about the environment in which the fish swam on any given day. These elements tell us about the chemistry of the water that the fish was in. It also says something about water temperature, which determines how much of these elements will gather withi

22、n each otolith ring. Thorrold can tell, for example, if a fish spent time in the open ocean before entering the less salty water of coastal areas. He can basically tell where fish are spending their time at any given stage of history. In the case of the Atlantic croaker, a popular saltwater food fis

23、h, Thorrold and his assistant have successfully followed the travelling of young fish from mid-ocean to the coast, a journey of many hundreds of miles. This is important to managers in the fish industry, who know nearly nothing about the whereabouts of the young fish for most food fish in the ocean.

24、 Eager to learn about his technology, fish scientists are now lending Thorrold their ears.24. What can we learn about fish ears from the text? A. They are small soft rings. B. They are not seen from the outside. C. They are openings only on food fish. D. They are not used to receive sound.25. Why do

25、es the writer compare the fish to trees? A. Trees gain a growth ring each day. B. Trees also have otoliths. C. Their growth rings are very small. D. They both have growth rings.26. Why is it important to study the chemistry of otolith rings? A. The elements of the otoliths can tell the history of th

26、e sea. B. Chemical contents of otoliths can tell how fast fish can swim. C. We can know more about fish and their living environment. D. Scientists can know exactly how old a fish is.27. How would you understand “fish scientists are now lending their ears”? A. They are very interested in Thorrolds r

27、esearch findings. B. They want to know where they can find fish. C. They lend their fish for chemical studies.D. They wonder if Thorrold can find growth rings from their earsCIt has long been believed that drinking green tea is good for the memory. Now researchers have discovered how the chemical pr

28、operties(特性) of Chinas favorite drink affect the generation of brain cells, providing benefits for memory and spatial(空间的) learning. “There has been plenty of scientific attention on its use in helping prevent cardiovascular(心血管) diseases, but now there is evidence that its chemical properties may a

29、ffect cellular mechanisms(细胞结构) in the brain,” said Professor Yun Bai. Professor Bais team focused on the organic chemical EGCG, a key property of green tea. The team believed it can also have a beneficial effect against age-related degenerative(退化的) diseases. “We proposed that EGCG can improve lear

30、ning by affecting the generation of neuron cells, a process known as neurogenesis(神经形成),” said Bai. “We focused our research on the hippocampus (海马体), the part of the brain which processes information from short-term to long-term memory.” The team found that EGCG increases the production of neural p

31、rogenitor cells (神经祖细胞), which can adapt, or differentiate, into various types of cells. The team then used laboratory mice to discover if this increased cell production gave an advantage to memory or spatial learning. “We ran tests on two groups of mice, one which had drunk EGCG and a control group

32、,” said Bai. “First the mice were trained for three days to find a visible platform in their maze(迷宫). Then they were trained for seven days to find a hidden platform.” The team found that the EGCG treated mice required less time to find the hidden platform. Overall the results showed that EGCG promotes learning and memory by improving object recognition and spatial memory. “We have shown that the organic chemical EGCG acts directly to
