9、-made playgrounds.I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake and slowly walking around it. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old, one-lane, dirt road that I had never seen before.

11、 paved one, yet there was still neither a car nor a house in sight. My legs were getting tired. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didnt want to end up trapped on this road in the dark of night, but I was sure it would be dark before I could make my way back to the l

12、ake again.I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve（弯曲处） and saw something in the distance. It was a house that I recognized. My heart leapt up! I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. I knew the way home! It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to

13、 my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said, “All roads lead Home.” This is true. In this life all roads no matter what their twists（弯曲） and turns are can lead us home again. They can lead us to our home

To prove the significance of the sign.CThe surface of Venus（金星）has never seemed very hospitable. Temperatures change around 470C（900F

17、）, the result of a runway greenhouse effect，and the pressure of its atmosphere, thick with carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, is some 90 times that of Earths. Lead（铅）would flow like water on Venus, and water cannot have existed in liquid form for perhaps a billion years.Now NASAS Magellan spacecraft

18、seems to have found one more horror in the nasty landscape: active volcanoes. Last week the space agency released the first detailed map of Venus and the most dramatic images ever made of its surface. The picture offer the best evidence to date that a planet once assumed dead is actually a lively po

19、t of geological change.The most amazing image is of Venuss second tallest mountain, Maat Mons, which rises 8km（5 miles） . Most of the planets many peaks, including 9.5-km-（6-mile-） high Maxwell Montes, look bright in the radar pictures Magellan takes from its orbit above the permanent could cover. T

20、hat means they are strong reflectors of radar waves. But Maat Mons is dark; like the Stealth bomber, it absorbs much of the radar falling on it.This interesting fact, say project scientists, is a strong hint that the mountains has recently been covered with lava（S）. Rock that sits on the surface of

21、mountaintops appears to weather quickly in the hot，chemically reactive atmosphere, creating a soil that is rich in iron sulfide（硫 化铁） It is this mineral, the scientists believe, that can easily be seen on radar. If Maat Mons doesnt have any, it has probably been resurfaced, perhaps within the past f

22、ew years.Such resurfacing has undoubtedly taken place in Venus lowlands: earlier images of the planet showed vast areas that are remarkably free of craters（火山坑）.That would be easy to explain on a Planet like Earth, where cratering from meteor strikes is erased by steady erosion. But while there is s

23、ome evidence of wind erosion on Venus, the best explanation for the lack of cratering is periodic lava flow. Magellan has found direct evidence of such flows, including domelike upwellings and hardened streamed of rock trailing down the sides of Venusian peaks. There are also signs of other geologic

24、 activities, including dramatic faulting and several distinct incidents of mountain building. But the evidence cant indicate whether they really occurred millions of years ago. The case for active Venusian volcanoes is not yet proved, but Magellan, which is now well into its second complete survey o

25、f the planets surface, may eventually settle the issue.8.Which of the following can not be possibly found on Venus now?A. Carbon dioxide B. Sulfuric acid C. Liquid water D. Active volcanoes9.The scientists believe that shows up easily on radar.A. geological change B. iron sulfide C. mountain mineral

26、 D. lava flow10.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. The resurfacing has changed the images of the vast areas in Venus lowlands.B. The wind erosion on Venus is caused by periodic lava flowsC. Streams of rock trailing down the side of Venusian peaks can be seen on EarthD. Other

27、geologic activities have caused dramatic and unbelievable climate phenomena.11.What can be inferred from the passage?A. NASAS Magallan spacecraft fails to stand the environment of Venus.B. There is clear and confirmed evidence for the active Venusian volcanoes on Venus.C. Some evidence of periodic l

Magellan will conduct a follow-up complete survey of the Venus，surface.DLike to watch TV or play with your phone while you eat your dinner?Watch outit could make you pile on the pounds.Not paying attention to our food makes us tend to more snacking late

29、r.Over a series of experiments were carried out by researchers.For the first experiment,39 normal-weight young women were randomly assigned to one of three experimental conditions: a high-distraction group,a low-distraction group,and a no-distraction group.Each person was given the same 400-calorie

30、lunch consisting of several food items presented in a fixed order,and instructed to eat all of the items.In the high-distraction group,the women were told to play a computer game while eating,and that they would win money if they did well.In the low-distraction group they were just told to play the

31、game while eating; and in the third group they were just told to eat their lunch.Later in the afternoon,each participant had access to a variety of biscuits on a plate,and the amount each person ate was assessed by weighing the plate before and afterwards.There was a significant difference between the groups.Those in the high-distraction condition ate 69 per cent more snacks than the no-distraction group,and those in the low-distraction group eating 28 per cent more （than those in the no-distraction group） .A
