10、es in Australia to find out what they needed most. Besides donations, many organizations asked for hand-sewn and knitted pouches（袋子） and wraps for koalas and other animals that were burned or had lost their homes and parents in the fires. This idea attracted Ratelle, but there was just one problem.
11、Id never sewn in my life, said Ratelle, 17, a senior at Rancho Buena Vista High School in Vista, US. Giving money seemed like something too simple. But I wanted to directly help these animals by doing something myself, so I decided to learn how to sew. Over the next few months, Ratelle bought her ow
12、n sewing machine and taught herself how to sew via videos online. Then she bought 18 yards of fabric and sewed 25 pouches of different sizes and shipped them off to Fir Australian Wildlife Needing Aid (FAWNA), one of several relief organizations that have rushed to rescue koalas, kangaroos and other
13、 species suffering from bums. A week later, she received a photo from FAWNA with a baby kangaroo in one of her larger pouches. It made me feel like I contributed to the world and it showed how a simple act of kindness can go a long way, said Ratelle, who hopes to study biology for a future career as
14、 a nurse practitioner. I plan to use my new sewing skills to help animals and people devastated by natural disaster, she said. Several craft union websites around the world have called for Australian relief by making the animal pouches. Karen Newberry and her two daughters Madison, 12 and Rochelle,

S., farmers typically have big data to help make these decisions. These data have a clear upside. They m
19、ake farms more productive. In the U.S., the past five years have seen a series of good harvests for both com and soybean. A big part is generated by effectively using data to produce more food from the same amount of land, seed and fertilizer. In the poorer parts of the world, however, the picture i
20、s much different. Many farmers are guided only by their history with the land and their communitys traditions. Their skills and knowledge are impressive, but they suffer from a poverty of data. They rely on technical advisors for advice from governments and academic centers who often have very littl
21、e knowledge of the local area. For seeds and fertilizers and other materials used in the field, they rely on companies that lack data on how their products will perform in the local conditions. About 10 years ago, East African officials and their development partners started to explore why so few sm
22、allholder dairy farmers made profits from growing demand from urban consumers. Surveys of farmers in the region suggested poor access to veterinary（禽畜的）care and breeding assistance. An effort to provide these services has helped farmers get more milk. Data would matter little if farming was easy and
23、 the paths to productivity were obvious. But in reality, agriculture is a complex mix of many factors, including climate, biology, chemistry, physics, economics and cultureall of which vary from region to region. In this situation, good data is necessary. 8. How has big data benefited Americans farm

27、in poor areas know the local areas well. D Smile! It makes everyone in the room feel better because they, consciously or unconsciously, are smiling with you. Growing evidence shows that an instinct for facial mimicry （模仿）allows us to experience other peoples feelings. If we cant mirror another perso
28、ns face, it limits our ability to read and properly react to their expressions. A review of this emotional mirroring appears on February 11 in Trends in Cognitive Sciences. In their paper, Paula Niedenthal and Adrienne Wood, social psychologists at the University of Wisconsin, describe how people in
29、 social situations copy others facial expressions to create emotional responses in themselves. For example, if youre with a friend who looks sad, you might try on that sad face yourself without realizing youre doing so. In trying on your friends expression, it helps you to recognize what theyre feel
30、ing by connecting it with times in the past when you made that expression. Humans get this emotional meaning from facial expressions in a matter of only a few hundred milliseconds. You reflect on your emotional feelings and then you produce some sort of recognition judgment, and the most important t
31、hing that results in is that you take the appropriate actionyou approach the person or you avoid the person, Niedenthal says. Your own emotional reaction to the face changes your understanding of how you see the face in such a way that provides you with more information about what it means. A person
32、s ability to recognize and share others emotions can be prevented when they cant mimic faces. This is a common complaint for people with motor diseases, like facial paralysis（瘫痪） from a stroke, or even due to nerve damage from plastic surgery. Niedenthal notes that the same would not be true for peo
33、ple who suffer from birth, because if youve never had the ability to mimic facial expressions, you will have developed another ways of interpreting emotions. Niedenthal next wants to explore what part in the brain is functioning to help with facial expression recognition. A better understanding of t
34、hat part, she says, will give us a better idea of how to treat related disorders. 12. According to the passage, facial mimicry helps A. convey ones own feelings clearly B. change others emotions quickly C. respond to others expressions properly D. develop friendship with others easily 13. Which part
35、s explain how people copy others facial expressions? A. Paragraph 1 and 2. C. Paragraph 3 and 4. B. Paragraph 2 and 3. D. Paragraph 4 and 5. 14. According to Niedenthal, what will be the next focus of the study? A. When is the best time to treat brain disorders. B. How many kinds of facial expressio
36、ns people have. C. How our brain helps us with emotional mirroring. D. What part in the brain helps recognize facial expressions. 15. What is the purpose of writing the passage? A. To discuss why people like smiling to others. B. To draw peoples attention to those with motor diseases. C. To introduc
37、e a new trend in facial expression recognition . D. To explain how people mirror others facial expressions. 第二节（ 共 5 小题； 每小题 2.5 分， 满分 12 .5 分） 根据短文内容， 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 On June 9, 1870, Charles Dickens died at the age of 58.
