4、 would help with the rising electric bill,”noted Tom.And so it began:After the wash cycle,we decorated the maples with damp blue jeans,shirts,socks,and towels.In fact,there was a secret pleasure in hanging laundry outdoors.It was the perfect excuse to get up from the computer.While checking on the l

10、For the Swiss,punctuality is a source of deep satisfaction.They obtain real joy from the fact that life unfolds on time and in a highly efficient manner.Whenever I visit Switzerland,I go through several stages of punctuality reaction. At first it delights me,especially if Im coming from neighbouring

11、 Italy or France with their rather more flexible approach to timekeeping. By contrast,life in Switzerland is enthusiastic and dependable.If someone says they will meet me at 2 pm,they arrive at 2 pm not 2:05 (or 1:55,for that matter). I like this,for a while.Then it annoys me. The extreme punctualit

12、y strikes me as a kind of being mean,and I find myself agreeing with the English writer Evelyn Waugh who said that “punctuality is the virtue of the bored.”That is unfair though,and finally I come to appreciate Swiss punctuality for what it is:a deep expression of respect for other people. A punctua

13、l person is a considerate one.By showing up on time for everything,a Swiss person is saying,in effect,“I value your time and,by extension,I value you.”Its no coincidence that the Swiss are the worlds watchmakers. Which came first,the precise clocks and watches or the precise people? Hard to say,but

14、the result is the same: a nation where the trains and everything else really do run on time.How to explain this punctuality? No one knows for sure. But a popular theory is that,historically,it arises from the tough,mountainous area. Either you planted your crops on time and harvested them at the cor

15、rect time or,well,you starved.Punctuality,sadly,is a dying art in many parts of the world. Mobile phones are partly to blame. We feel less compelled(紧迫的) to arrive on time if we can always text to say were running a few minutes late. I dont sense that is happening in Switzerland,though.Punctuality i

16、s not without its weaknesses.Extreme punctuality also creates an expectation,and if that expectation is not met,disappointment follows.On those rare occasions when things do not function smoothly,the Swiss get nervous,confused and angry.4.Whats NOT the authors attitude towards the Swiss punctuality?

17、A.Pleasant. B.Exhausted. C.Annoyed. D.Appreciated.5.What do the Swiss people want to show by arriving on time?A.To show their respect for other people. B.To show that they have the best watches.C.To show that they are considerate persons. D.To show that they are the best watchmakers in the world.6.T

20、ed to arrive on time ,而if we can always text to say were running a few minutes late是条件状语从句。如果我们总是能够用短信来告知我们要迟到几分钟的话,那么我们的紧迫感会少一点。C【科普知识类】Babies dont learn to talk just from hearing sounds.New research suggests they also learn from watching lips.Florida scientists discovered that around the age of 6

21、months,babies begin studying mouths when people talk to them.“In order to imitate you,the baby has to figure out how to shape their lips to make that particular sound theyre hearing,”explains David Lewkowicz of Florida Atlantic University,who led the study published on Monday.Scientists have long kn

22、own that babies also look to speakers faces for important social cues(暗示) about what theyre hearing.Just like adults, theyre drawn to the eyes,which express important messages like the emotion connected to words.David Lewkowicz went a step further,wondering whether babies look to the lips for cues a

23、s well,like how adults lip-read what someones saying at a noisy party.So he and his student Amy Hansen-Tift tested nearly 180 babies,dividing them into different groups according to their ages (4,6,10 and 12 months).They showed videos of a woman speaking in English or Spanish to babies of English sp

24、eakers.They found a shift in attention:When the speaker used English,the 4-month-olds looked mostly at her eyes;the 6-month-olds spent equal amounts of time looking at the eyes and the mouth;the 8-and 10-month-olds studied mostly the mouth;at 12 months,attention started shifting back toward the spea

25、kers eyes.“Its a pretty interesting finding,”says University of Iowa psychology professor Bob McMurray,who also studies speech development.The research offers more evidence that quality face-time with the baby is very important for speech developmentmore than,say,playing the latest baby DVD.Studying

26、 how babies learn to speak isnt a curiosity. Scientists want to know how to encourage that process,especially if it doesnt seem to be happening on time.And,it helps them understand how the brain wires itself early in life for learning all kinds of things.7.From the test,we can know that .A.the 6-mon

27、th-old babies learn to talk only by hearingB.the 10-month-old babies study mainly by lip-readingC.the 4-month-old babies begin watching the mouth to learn to talkD.the 12-month-old babies pay more attention to the mouth when studying8.The underlined word “shift” in the third paragraph means “”.A.mis
