10、ay there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon: on foot, on mules（骡子） or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we set out, I was shocked at how narrow（狭窄的）

11、 the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast（烘烤）us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back,

12、with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyon by air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called t

13、o each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed （翻转） the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted,“STOP, TAKE US BACK! When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like

14、 jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.D. the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.BPhotographs are everywhere. They decorate （装饰） the walls of homes and are used in stores for sales of different goods. The news is filled with pictures of fires, floods, and special events. Photos re

15、cord the beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos, people can see wild animals, cities in foreign lands, and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos.

16、It takes science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however, can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exci

17、ting picture.As historical and artistic documents （文献）, photos can become more important over time. Today photojournalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish （发表） them in books and on the Internet.CThis was no ordinary class. The students who came togethe

18、r were all science or engineering professors at Cornell University. They had interrupted their research to accept an invitation to take part in an unusual experiment: “an interesting week of poetry. This class was part of a study to answer the questions: Why is science difficult for many nonscience

19、students? What can teachers learn about teaching if they take a class that is not in their field?The students in the poetry class listened to lectures and took notes. They had reading tasks and had to write three short papers. All students noticed one thing the importance of spoken words. In science

20、 and engineering classes, the instructors put tables and drawings on the blackboard. But in this poetry class, the instructors just talked. They didnt write anything on the board.Both the poetry instructors and their students learned something about teaching from this experience. One poetry instruct

21、or, for example, now sees the importance of using informative as he teaches. Most of the scientists agreed on several points. First, humanities classes might help science students to see patterns and decide which information is important. Second, the poetry class was fun. One engineer decided, “We n

22、eed to change the way we teach engineering to make it an enjoyable experience for students.DRunners in a relay（接力） race pass a stick in one direction. However, merchants passed silk, gold, fruit, and glass along the Silk Road in more than one direction. They earned their living by traveling the famo

23、us Silk Road.The Silk Road was not a simple trading network. It passed through thousands of cities and towns. It started from eastern China, across Central Asia and the Middle East, and ended in the Mediterranean Sea. It was used from about 200 B. C. to about A. D. 1300, when sea travel offered new

24、routes （道路）. It was sometimes called the worlds longest highway. However, the Silk Road was made up of many routes, not one smooth path. They passed through what are now 18 countries. The routes crossed mountains and deserts and had many dangers of hot sun, deep snow and even battles. Only experienc

25、ed traders could return safe.The Silk Road got its name from its most prized product- silk. Silk could be used like money to pay taxes or buy goods. But the traders carried more than just silk. Gold, silver, and glass from Europe were much found in the Middle East and Asia. Horses traded from other

26、areas changed farming practices in China. Indian merchants traded salt and other valuable goods. Chinese merchants traded paper, which produced an immediate effect on the West. Apples traveled from central Asia to Rome. The Chinese had learned to graft （嫁接） different trees together to make new kinds

27、 of fruit. They passed this science on to others, including the Romans. The Romans used grafting to grow the apple. Trading along the Silk Road led to world-wide business 2,000 years before the World Wide Web.EDid you know that womens brains are smaller than mens? The average womens brain weighs 10%

28、 less than mens. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent （聪明的） than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have con

29、cluded that its whats inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of “grey matter and “white matter. Although men have more of the latter（后者）, the amount of “thinking brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work f

30、aster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand several sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking

31、 dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, its women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial （空间的） tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go, says one researcher. That may explain one of lifes great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions a
