City

31、officialsfrom around the world visit Curitiba to learn how the city, with relatively limited fun ds, has bee n solvi ng urba n （都市- 6 -的）problems. By using imagi native, low-cost soluti ons and low tech no logy,Curitiba has created a pleasant urban life that many cities in the more developed nations

32、 have yet to achieve. Here ishow the city achieved this.Tran sportati onThe city has made public tran sportati on attractive, affordable and efficie nt. I nstead of building a subway, whichthe city could not afford, it established a system of extended, high-speed buses, some carryingasmanyas275passe

33、ngers, on express routes, connecting the citycen ter with outly ing areas. Many people own cars in Curitiba but 85 perce nt of the commuters（通勤者）use public transportation.

43、y day.The study also once aga in proves that the time kids spe nd readi ng books for fun decreases after the age of eightand continues to drop through the teen years. The report is a follow-up to a 2006 study. But this time the focus is on therole of tech no logyand whe n kids in terestin readi ng s

44、tarts to drop.“ Despite the fact that after the age of eight more children go online daily than read for fun daily, high frequencyInternet users are more likely to read books for fun every day, ” says Heather Carter, a writer of the report.One in four kids betwee n five and seve ntee n say they read

45、 books for fun every day and more than half of kids saythey read books for fun at least two to three times a week. One of the key reasons kids say they don t read more oftenis that they have trouble finding books they like a requireme nt that pare nts un derestimate （ 低估）.The study also finds that p

46、are nts have a strong in flue nee on kids readi ng, but only abouthalf of all parents begin reading to their kids before their first birthday. The percent of children who are read to every daydrops from 38 percent among five-to eight-year-olds to 23 percent among nine-to 11-year-olds exactly the sam

47、etime that kids daily reading for fun starts to drop.“ Parents engagement （ 參與）in their child s reading from birth all the way through the teen years can havea great in flue nee （影響）on how ofte n their childre n read and how much theyenjoy readi ng,” adds Carter.48.

51、o logy for Kids Readi ng D. Pare nts In flue nee on Kids Readi ngDIn many roma ntic movies or TV shows one scene always appears. It in volves a han dsome man standing outsidea young woman s window, singing a love song to her to win her over. However,trying to woo a female with songs is not just some

52、th ing that huma ns do. A few ani mals sing love songs as well. Birdsand elephants are romantic but the latest animal to serenade a female might- 8 -surprise you-it is the humble mouse.You may find it odd to find out that mice sing. We do not hear them because the frequency of their voice is so high

53、. Infact, scientists have known for some time that male mice make special sounds to females, but it has always beenassumed that the sounds are produced instinctively（本能地）and randomly, with little thought going into the process. But new research suggests otherwise. When male micewith differe ntvoices

54、 were put in a cage together, scie ntists found that they wouldgradually change their pitches（音調(diào)）to sound like one another. But when a female mouse was put in the cage with twomales, onemale would change his pitch to match the other.“ It was usuallythe smaller animal changing the pitch to match the

55、larger animal, ” professor Erich Jarvis, leader of the study, fromDuke University, US, told BBC News. This ability, known as vocal learning, is rare in the natural world. It had beenthought to be limited to some birds, such as parrots-as well as whales and dolphins. The latest findings challenge the

56、Iong-held opinion that mice cannot learn to adapt （ 調(diào)整）their voices.Scie ntists also found the part of the brain that con trols the mice s singing ability .Inthe experiment, they damaged the cells in this part of the mice s brain and found that the animals couldn t keep theirsongs in pitch or repeat

57、 them any more. This also happened when the mice became deaf. Jarvis said that this findinghad cha nged his un dersta nding of the way mice makesound. “ In mice we find that the pathways that are at leastadapti ng these vocalizati ons （發(fā)聲法）are in the forebrain, in places where you actually find them

58、 in humans,we re not wrong, these findings will be a big boost （促進(jìn)） to scientists autism （自閉癥）and anxiety disorders. ”52. What s the possible meaning of theun derl ined word“ sere nade ”？53. Which of the following is proven wrong by the latest discovery?A. The frequency of mice s voice is so high th

59、at it s impossible for humans to hear it.B. When male mice make special sounds to females they can t control the sounds.C. Birds and elephants are both romantic animals that are good at expressing love.D. Animals like mice are smart even though they often make sounds randomly.54. What do parrots, wh

60、ales and dolphi ns have in com mon accord ing to the passage?A. They are all ani mals well-k nown for their smart appeara nces.B. They are ofte n chose n to carry out scie ntific experime nts on.C. They all have the ability to lear n to adapt their voices.D. Their nu mbers are quite limited in the n
