3、easingly looking to the future and outwards to the rest of the world. Where to goThose looking to explore the citys rich heritage can spend long afternoons getting lost in the Louvre or wandering the Orsay Museum, or ducking in and out of Pariss countless historical churches.

5、 a time for festivals and feasting on games and oysters（牡蛎）. Spring and early summer are the time to make the most of city parks and caf terraces, with fireworks set off on June 21 and military parade held on July 14.

9、 of them girls, staring at the Hindi alphabet（字母表）on the blackboard. In charge of this class are three young girls, not much older than their students. But when Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina, no more than 22, start speaking, you know the difference. Their confidence takes you by surprise. A little o

10、ver 10 kilometres from Varanasi lies the village of Sajoi where illiteracy（文 盲）was quite common. It had blocked out modernity until recently, especially when it came to its women. Educating girls was considered pointless, and the possibility of women stepping out of their homes, unthinkable. Things

11、began to change in 2010 when Human Welfare Association （HWA）, identified Sajoi for a planned intervention. HWA set up a centre in Sajoi to offer free education but the villagers needed to be convinced to join in. The organization needed volunteers who valued education. Tabassum, Tarannum and Rubina

12、embraced the opportunity. After completing their high school education, the girls set out on another important mission-persuading the locals to send their children to schools. “We went knocking at every door, talking to elders, recalls Rubina. Some villagers asked them to mind their own business. “W

13、e didnt let all this distract our attention from the main goal, Rubina says. The girls honed their approach. They didnt ask people to stop their children from working, but urged them to send them to schools for an hour or two. Slowly, children started trickling（缓 慢增加）in. Motivational Learning Centre

14、, as the girls call it, is no replacement for school. It is there, in fact, that they create the hunger for knowledge. It also helps school-going children so they dont lose interest and drop out.

18、, you know how difficult it can be. Native languages seem almost built in. But learning a new language, especially after early childhood, can be a huge task, burdened by long vocabulary lists to memorize and troublesome rules to master. Nevertheless, its worth the effort. John Grundy, a scientist at

19、 Iowa State University who specializes in languages and the brain, explains that learning a new language causes extensive neuroplasticity（神经塑性）in the brain. In other words, when you learn a new language, your brain gets rearranged, new connections are made and new pathways are formed. “Its really ju

20、st a remodeling of the brain that allows it to become more efficient, Grundy says. These changes dont help with just language functions. Chung-Fat-Yim, a post-doctoral researcher at Northwestern University, says they affect the whole executive processing part of the brain, what she calls the CEO of

21、the brain. Bilinguals（双语者）use that area for language control, but also for other purposes such as the ability to plan for future behaviors, monitor and change behavior as needed, and switch between tasks. Being bilingual might also make you a nicer person. The bilingual person has to have an awarene

22、ss that different people can hold different mental states about the same event. So they are more likely to develop greater empathy（共情）. Having a second language can even help to prevent-or at least delay-intelligence decline. There is a consistent finding that bilinguals are able to put off symptoms

23、 of mental disorders for about four to six years compared to those speaking one language. If youre thinking its too late, youre probably wrong. Its true that young children do more quickly learn whatever language theyre exposed to. But when it comes to adding on a new one, adults arent as at much of

24、 a disadvantage as you might think. If you practice a lot and bury yourself in the language, you can see the benefits at any age, especially when you get older. 8.

27、ge. C. Using more languages means less diseases. D. How to master a new language effectively. DIn the threatening trouble of climate change, growing commercial crops on solar farms is a potentially efficient use of agricultural land that can both increase commercial food production and improve solar

28、 panel performance and longevity（寿命）, according to a new Cornell research. We now have, for the first time, a physics-based tool to estimate the costs and benefits of co-locating solar panels and commercial agriculture in terms of increased power conversion efficiency and solar-pancl longevity, said

29、 lead author Henry Williams, a doctoral student in Cornell Engineering. There is potential for agrivoltaic （农业光伏）systems-where agriculture and solar panels coexist-to provide increased passive cooling through taller panel heights, more reflective ground cover and higher evapotranspiration （蒸散）rates

30、compared to traditional solar farms, said Max Zhang, professor in the Sibley School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, “We can generate renewable electricity and conserve farmland through agrivoltaic systems. ”In New York, for example, about 40% of solar farm capacity has been developed on agr

31、icultural lands, while about 84% of land suitable for solar development is agricultural, according to a previous research study from Zhangs group. The engineers showed that solar panels mounted over vegetation reveal surface temperature drops compared to those built over bare ground. Solar panels we

32、re mounted 4 meters above a cotton crop and the solar panels showed temperature reductions by up to 10 degrees Celsius, compared with those mounted a half-meter above bare soil. “As you decrease the solar panel operating temperature, you can increase efficiency and improve the longevity of your sola

33、r panels, ” said Williams, “Were showing double benefits. On one hand, you have food production for farmers, and on the other hand, weve shown improved longevity and improved conversion efficiency for solar developers. “Up to this point, most of the benefits from agrivoltaic systems have been around

34、 areas with abundant sunshine, said Zhang, “This research is taking a step toward evaluating the application of agrivoltaics in climates representative of the Northeastern U. S. in relaxing the land-use competition it faces. 12. What does the new Cornell research convey?A. Growing commercial crops c

35、an relieve climate change. B. Its costly to improve solar panel performance and longevity. C. Commercial agriculture can increase power conversion efficiency. D. The coexistence of solar panels and commercial crops is mutually beneficial. 13. Why does the author list the figures in paragraph 3?A. To

36、 show the promising future of agrivoltaics. B. To indicate the lack of solar farms in New York. C. To tell agricultural lands are based on solar farms. D. To demonstrate agricultural farms are more developed. 14. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. The Northeastern US is rich in agricult

37、ural lands. B. Hot climate zones are ideal for developing agrivoltaics. C. The research made a breakthrough in land-use competition. D. The application of agrivoltaics in Northeastern US proved practical. 15. Which is a suitable title for the text?A. Approaches to Tackling World Climate ChangeB. Met
