Last summer, I am shopping in the heart of downtown when it began to rain heavy. All the streets were flooded and many cars and electric bicycles were trapping in deep water. Wore still, I found that a underground passage (通道) below a railway became the most danger place. I saw an old man in the rain warning people not pass. Seeing this, I ran into a nearby shop. He found a board there and wrote the following word on it: Keep off Danger! No Passing! Then holding the board, I joined with him to keep people from risk injury.

Since smart phones were invented, more and more people are obsessed (痴迷) by them. The obsession with phones has spread to running. They’re perfectly used during a running outside. Smart phones can provide music for you and track your route. But experts warn that it’s not a good idea to hold your phone in your hand while you go out for a run because it could cause hip (臀部) and shoulder injuries.
The habit could make the body lose balance. The same goes for water bottles, or anything else you might carry in one hand while on a run.
Professional UK Athletics running coach, Alexa, asks runners to carry phones in a waist belt instead. “When you hold something in our hands, there are slightly indirect influences on your pace. It influences the balance of muscle (肌肉), affects the weight of some body parts, and makes you run less fast,” she tells Cosmopolitan UK. “This could be happening every time you train, week after week, month after month.”
And as mobile phones get bigger and heavier, the more injuries are likely to occur. People like to always hold their phones in the same hand. It’s a force of habit. With one arm heavier, your body will try to compensate for the imbalance by working certain muscles harder than others.
The other risk of running phone-in-hand, of course, is damaging the screen of your phones if you fall. It’s very expensive to change a screen. Some of the latest phones can cost close to £ 300.
1.Why do experts think it unsuitable to run with a smart phone?
A.It affects people’s hearing.
B.It makes people lose eyesight.
C.It does harm to parts of people’s bodies.
D.It has a bad effect on people’s mental health.
2.What does Alexa suggest people do?
A.Carry smart phones in a bag.
B.Avoid touching smart phones with your hands.
C.Watch smart phones when running.
D.Carry smart phones in a waist belt.
3.What does the underlined phrase “compensate for” in paragraph 4 mean?
A.Meet up with. B.Make up for.
C.Face up to. D.Come up with.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Running phone-in-hand is good for people.
B.It’s time to warn people not to use cell phones.
C.Changing a phone screen may cost much.
D.There are mobile phones falling into pieces every day.
We’ve learned bees can understand zero and do basic math. Now a new study shows their tiny insect brains may be able to connect symbols to numbers.
Adrian Dyer, a professor in the RMIT University, said the research showed brains far smaller than humans’ could know numbers. “Humans learn numbers as children, but being able to recognize what numbers really represent needs a certain level of cognitive (认知的) ability,” Dyer says, “Studies have shown primates (灵长类动物) and birds have this ability, but this is the first time we’ve seen this in insects.”
It’s important for humans to do the research. There are 86 billion neurons (神经元) in humans’ brains. Bees only have less than a million. If bees have the ability to learn something difficult to understand like human-made symbolic language, this will open up exciting new paths for future communication between humans and animals.
Studies have shown that a number of animals have been able to learn symbols of numbers, including parrots and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers and could order them correctly. An African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn numbers and could do simple calculation.
Understanding how tiny brains of bees manage information opens paths to technology, which is good for the future design of computing (计算) systems.
1.What does Adrian Dyer say about the research?
A.The finding of the research is first seen in insects.
B.Humans’ brains are the biggest on the earth.
C.Birds can be as clever as primates.
D.Bees are cleverer than birds.
2.What do we know about the research?
A.Humans may find a new path to communicate with animals.
B.Bees have more neurons than monkeys.
C.Insects have the ability to communicate with humans.
D.Bees can solve basic math problems.
3.Who is Alex according to the text?
A.A child. B.A monkey.
C.An expert. D.A parrot.
4.What’s the main idea of the text?
A.Bees can communicate with other animals.
B.Bees can attach symbols to numbers.
C.Some animals can do math problems.
D.Bees can make communication with humans.
