I can fill the paper pretty easily.” But what if the picture you are asked to paint is three stories hig

10、h, two city blocks long, and one block wide? In other words, a total of 17,000 square feet! Most people would be overwhelmed by the request (请求). But not Diego Rivera.Diego Rivera (1886-1957) was one of modern Mexicos most famous painters. When he was asked to paint this huge picture, he knew he cou

11、ld do it. During his life, Rivera painted 124 frescos that showed Mexican life, history, and social problems. A fresco is a painting on wet plaster (灰泥).Rivera had to plan ahead and drew simply about what he planned to paint. Then Riveras assistants would put all but the final layer (层) of plaster o

12、n the wall. Next, they used sharp tools to dig the outline (轮廓) of Riveras quickly-made drawing into the plaster. Then, they made a mixture of lime (石灰) and sand and spread this over the outline in a thin layer. As soon as this layer was firm but not dry Rivera began to paint. Every morning, his pai

13、nts had to be freshly mixed. Rivera would paint as long as there was daylight. He refused to paint under man-made light since it would change how the colors looked.Sometimes, Rivera would say that what he had painted that day was not good enough.

17、to a survey by the University of California, San Francisco, 75% of all Hollywood films released (发行) between 1999 and 2006 showed tobacco use.Sadly, audiences especially kids are taking notice. Two recent studies show that among children as young as 10, those who always see smoking in the movies are

18、 up to 2.7 times more likely than others to pick up the habit. Kids from non-smoking homes are hit the hardest. This could be because they dont live with the dirty ashtrays (烟灰缸) that make real-world smoking a lot less attractive than the cleaned-up movie version.“Seeing smoking on-screen makes it l

19、ook normal,” says Jono Polansky, who works with a project called Smoke Free Movies. “It says, If you want to be an adult, youll smoke,” Polansky told TFK (Time for Kids). Before you go to the movies, check out smokefreemovies.ucsf.edu for an updated list of which movies show smoking.More groups than

20、 ever are pushing to get the smokes off of the screen. “Some movies show kids up to 14 incidents of smoking per hour,” says Barry Bloom, head of the Harvard School of Public Health. “Were in the business of preventing disease, and cigarettes are the Number 1 preventable cause.”Pressure (压力) is growi

21、ng to make movies a non-smoking zone. A dozen health groups, including the American Medical Association, are calling for a reduction of smoking in movies and on TV. Forty-one state attorneys general (州总检察长) have agreed to add an anti-tobacco public service ad at the beginning of any DVD that include

22、s smoking.Like former smokers, movie studios may realize that getting out of the habit is not just a lot healthier, but also a lot smarter.27.

25、e quickly. People have a hard time learning new languages as they grow older, but babies have the ability to learn any language easily.For a long time, scientists have tried to explain how such young children can learn the complicated (复杂的) grammatical rules and sounds of a language. Now, researcher

26、s are getting a better idea of whats happening in the brains of the tiniest language learners. This new information might help kids with learning problems as well as adults who want to learn new languages. It might even help scientists who are trying to design computers that can communicate like peo

27、ple do.Most babies go “ma ma” by 6 months of age, and most children speak in full sentences by age 3. For many years, scientists have wondered how the brains of young children figure out how to communicate using language. With help from new technologies, scientists are now finding that babies begin

28、life with the ability to learn any language. They get into contact with other people, listen to what they say and watch their movements very closely. That is why they quickly master the languages they hear most often. Studies show that, up to about 6 months of age, babies can recognize all the sound

29、s that make up all the languages in the world. Starting at around 6 months old a babys brain focuses on (集中于) the most common sounds it hears. Then, children begin responding (回应) only to the sounds of the language they hear the most.In a similar way older babies start recognizing the patterns that

30、make up the rules of their native language. For example, English children who are about 18 months old start to figure out that words ending in “-ing” or “-ed” are usually verbs, and that verbs are action words. 31. Which of the following opinions does the author agree with?A. Babies are really good

31、language learners.B. Adults should learn languages like babies. C. Its better to learn a new language at an early age.D. Babies should be trained to improve language skills.32. The new research in the second paragraph can be helpful in _. A. finding successful language learnersB. teaching kids with

32、learning problems C. designing human-shaped computersD. improving babies language ability33. The researchers found out that babies learn a language mainly by _.A. repeating the words of other people B. remembering the full sentences they hearC. hearing and closely watching others speakD. figuring out the meaning of
