8、tennis and reading, with children. Throughout the year, I had advertised for participants at local elementary schools and recruited (招收) volunteers at local high schools. With the help of kind people, I applied for money. I was even able to secure a site for the program.But on the first day of camp,
9、 in spite of my careful planning, things did not go the way I had hoped. Hector and Adrian exchanged blows with their racquet (球拍). Hector struggled to his feet moments later, covering a bloody nose with one hand. Georgie and Eduardo threw balls at each other. Then during reading time, I raced from
10、joyless child to demanding child, unable to convince even one to open a book. They would rather be watching Nickelodeon at home, Eli told me, than “learning stupid tennis and reading boring books.”I dragged myself home that afternoon. That evening, I called my volunteers together for a meeting, and
11、redesigned the entire curriculum. We created a good-fellow system, where each volunteer paired with a camper to help him or her during reading time. To emphasize praise and progress, we established weekly prize ceremonies, presenting awards for most improved reading, tennis and behavior.Then Mylea s

I jumped to my feet and wrapped her in a hug, lifting her right off the ground. “Its all yours!” I said.Somehow, in the midst of the chaos and the schedule changes and the

16、ading and tennis to kids.Why humans make and appreciate music is an evolutionary (进化的) mystery. Recently David Schruth and his colleagues have a new explanation. They say the roots of human music can date back to the branches of trees more than 50 million years ago, when the first primates (灵长类) app
17、eared. Early primates moved around forest by leaping (跳跃) from branch to branch, a very dangerous way to travel that relies on hand and eye working together and control over muscles.Schruth argues that a primate that calls in a musical way is advertising that it has fine control over its vocal (声音的)
18、 muscles. This might have convinced other primates that the caller also had fine control over its body. His another research shows the species that leap the most tend to have more complicated calls, which the team jokingly named as protomusical. Hagen, a worldwide famous scientist in this field, com
19、mented on the research: “Some people would not include what we see in primates and songbirds as music. But I do see a continuity between human music and primate vocalizations”.Hagen doesnt think human music has a single, simple explanation. He argues that human ancestors originally used music-like v
20、ocalizations in two ways: groups vocalized together to senda signal of strength and unity to scare outsiders away, and mothers used vocalisations to communicate with babies. Also another idea: humans used music to strengthen social bonds.All these ideas might be compatible, says Hagen. Protomusic co
21、uld have evolved in primates both to attract companions and for territorial signaling. Later, as early humans began cooperating in large numbers, protomusic might have been repurposed so it could attract rather than frighten outsiders, while also strengthening social bonds within groups.8What is Sch

24、mix of excitement and anxiety accompanying the choice of their babys nameit will follow the child his or her entire life. But the effect could be even more significant. In research recently published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, our research team shows that the stereotype (模式
25、思维) that a given society has of a first name can influence the way people look.In eight studies, we found that participants shown ID-style photos of people theyd never met were able to recognize the first name of the described person well above the chance level. In other words, there is something ab
26、out an Emily thatjust looks like an Emily.If an Emily really does look like an Emily, even a computer should be able to guess her true name. The computer was even able to produce a “heat map” for each name, a face with the features that “betray” a person carrying that name shown in red or orange col
27、ors. How should we understand this effect? Until now, social psychologists knew that our facial appearance influences the extent to which others perceive us as attractive, intelligent, trustworthy or warm. These studies show that others perceptions of our first name are reflected in our faces.Intere
28、stingly, the face -name effect occurs even if we can only see the hair of a person. Our hair is possibly the part of our face that we control with the most ease. The fact that this alone can produce the face name effect further illustrates the suspected self-fulfilling mechanism behind it.Together,
29、the eight studies suggest that we wear our social belonging on our face, and that we actively shape our features to be recognized by our reference group. Choosing baby names remains exciting. Whatever the first name you give to your child, he or she will end up wearing it.12What was the participants

The oldest and most accurately documented evidence of skiing origin is found in modern day Norway and Sweden. _36_ word “ski” comes from the Old Norse word “skie”, _37_ (mean) split (劈开的) pieces of wood or firewood.Skiing has evolved into two major different
46、types: Alpine skiing and Nordic skiing. Alpine skiing, also _38_ (refer) to as downhill skiing, perhaps is the most popular form of skiing. It originated in the European Alps, and is characterized by fixed-heel bindings (捆绑物) that attach at both the front and the heel (脚后跟) of the _39_(skier) boot.
47、The boots are reinforced plastic that _40_ (steady) hold the foot to the ski, and ski poles are used.
