B Emily Egan was born and raised in Essex, United Kingdom and speaks no foreign language, but hearing her speak, you could swear shes a Russian immigrant(移民
20、)or a tourist, because of her Eastern European accent. But the funny thing is that she sometimes sounds French, Italian or even Polish, depending on how tired she is. 31 -year-old Emilys life changed greatly in January, when a mysterious condition left her unable to speak for two months. Shed had he
21、adaches for two weeks before one day developing a deeper voice suddenly. Her colleagues at a childrens home then noticed her speech had become slow and unclear, both signs of a stroke(中风). By the time she was rushed to the hospital, Emily had lost her ability to speak completely, but after running s
22、ome tests, doctors ruled out the stroke, instead blaming her voice loss on some sort of injury to her brain. After spending three weeks in the hospital, Emily Egan was still unable to speak and relied only on basic sign language shed picked up at work and a text-to-speech app on her phone to communi
23、cate. A doctor encouraged her to go on a vacation in Thailand she and her husband had already booked, and to try and relax as much as possible. She did just that and a few days into the vacation, she started to speak again. 6 I was so thrilled when my voice started coming back but now I dont even di
24、scern the voice that comes out of my mouth. It doesnt sound like me, Egan said. Ever since her voice came back, shes taken time off work because stress only makes her condition worse.

28、 That information comes from scientists who studied sea creatures in the coral reefs of the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico. The researchers reported this month that the starfishs relative-called the red brittle star-is only the second creature known to be able to see without having eyes. This ability
29、is call extraocular vision(眼外视觉). The other creature said to have extraocular vision is a kind of sea urchin. 7 Brittle stars, with five arms extending from a central disk, are part of a group of sea life called echinoderms. They have a nervous system but no brain. The red brittle star measures up t
30、o about 35 centimeters wide, from the end of one arm to the other. It lives in bright and complex environments. Because of the possibility of being eaten by fish, the creature hides during daylight hours. The red brittles star possesses extraocular vision as a result of light-sensing cells, called p
31、hotoreceptors. These photoreceptors cover its body and chromatophores, the cells responsible for coloring. During the daytime, the chromatophores narrow the field of light being detected, making each photoreceptors like the pixel(像素) of a computer image. When combined with other pixels, the image be
32、comes complete. The visual system doesnt work at night. Laboratory experiments suggested that the brittle stars have very simple vision. Placed in a circular environment, for example, they moved toward walls that were white with a black bar, suggestive of al daytime hiding place. Lauren Sumner-Roone
33、y is a research fellow at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History. She led the study. She said, Its such a different concept for us, as very visually driven animals, to imagine how an animal might see its habitat without eyes, but now we know of two examples. 28.

37、ientists has shown ways to make super white paint that reflects as much as 98% of incoming heat from the sun. The advance shows practical pathways for designing paints that, if used on rooftops and other parts of a building, could greatly reduce cooling costs, beyond what standard white cool-roof pa
38、ints can achieve. When you wear a white T-shirt on a hot sunny day, you feel cooler than if you wear one thats darker in color- thats because the white shirt reflects more sunlight and its the same concept for buildings, said Aaswath Raman, a researcher of the study. A roof painted white will be coo
39、ler inside than one in a darker shade by rejecting heat at infrared(红外线的) wavelengths, which we humans cannot see with our eyes. This super white paint could allow buildings to cool down even more by radiative(辐射的) cooling. The best performing white paints now available typically reflect around 85%
40、of incoming sun heat. The remainder is absorbed by the chemical makeup of the paint. The researchers showed that simple changes in a paints ingredients could offer a big jump, reflecting as much as 98% of incoming radiation. The potential cooling benefits this super white paint can achieve may be re
41、alized in the near future because the changes suggested are within the abilities of the paint and coatings industry. Many cities and governments, including the stale of California and New York City, have started to encourage cool-roof technologies for new buildings. We hope that the work will inspir
42、e future creativity in super-white coatings for not only energy savings in buildings, but also lessening the heat island effects of cities, and perhaps even showing a practical way that, if applied globally, could affect climate change, said Raman, who has studied cooling paint technologies for seve
43、ral years, This would require experts in diverse fields to work together. 9 32. Whats the function of the super white paint? A. Reflecting all the sun heat. B. Lowering building costs. C. Keeping buildings cool. D. Absorbing heat quickly. 33. How does Aaswath Raman explain the working principle of t
44、he paint? A. By telling a story. B. By listing scientific data. C. By conducting a11 experiment. D. By making a similar comparison. 34. What can be inferred about the super white paint from the text? A. It is completely chemical free. B. It is still unavailable in the market. C. Its ingredients stil

47、comes to effective leaching, strong communication skills are a must. By communicating with students at the beginning of the year, a teacher can help students be able to approach the subject in a more enjoyable way that better supports their learning. Good teachers listen well. Teachers that are skil
48、led in listening and observing often pick up on what isnt being said, such as any anxiety a student may have, and can then help the student build their skills and confidence levels. Effective listening skills also help a teacher better understand their students. 38 Good teachers are adaptable. 39 And they must adjust their teaching methods based on the age of their students, the resources available and changing curriculum and practices. 10 Good teachers are lifelong learners.
